So tomorrow is my first day at a large state university |
|
I start my Latin tomorrow morning....I have waited to take Latin for 20 years...
41 years old...have been back for awhile (am almost a senior) but, this is my first time on the campus of a large state school...ever in my life.
I feel like I am going to throw up.
I don't know if I can remember my locker combination.
My stomach is too upset for a shot of Jack Daniels.
Damn.

2. In person that would be a compliment!! |
|
On the internet, I think that translates into "you are so immature, I NEVER thought you were that old!!" ;)
Oh, I know I'll be fine...Latin teachers intimidate me. After all of the doctors I have worked with in my life....Latin teachers just flat out scare the hell out of me.
I don't know why!

3. Other people will be feeling the same way you do |
|
Make sure you have a map of the campus and know where the classes are being held. Hope your class size isn't huge, and that you do well. One thing that I have always found that is helpful is to sit in the front row and watch the instructor studiously.

5. I've spent some time on the campus of a large State College |
|
And I didn't have any problem getting around and meeting people. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to get my degree. That's the problem I had. Oh, and I was 30 when I went back to school.

8. "Dulce Et Decorum Est" (Wilfred Owens 1916) |

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.
