i_paint_the_skyOh god...I feel really sick. I think I may actually be coming down with something, then again it could just be the sudden stress level that I have developed tonight.
Sometimes, I really hate my Latin prof. He has the evil habit of giving us new words on assignments, some of which aren't even in the textbook. And now he's done it for the exam passages.
We were given two passages to translate. One of them will be on the exam. And right now, I can barely understand either of them. I'm going to get help from Mark and Katieacrossthehall, which should hopefully help me deal a little more. Luckily my exam isn't until 2 tomorrow, so I will have time to review everything that we have learned this semester. And maybe learn some more of the principle parts that we were supposed to have memorized ages ago.
At this point, I'm pretty sure I will not be taking second-year Latin. Not 100% sure (if I manage to get an A, which I doubt, I may reconsider). I am going to keep one of my texts though, so I can try and retain some of my knowledge of the language.
Anyway, venting here is a calming experience as always, though my stomach feels rather in a knot. And I have that feeling I usually get right before my stomach starts to feel sick, the whole rotten-egg taste in my mouth.
I'll feel a lot better tomorrow though, after I am done this exam, because it is the one I'm most worried about. Gods and Goddesses is going to be no problem, so after tomorrow I can concentrate relaxing, and the whole fact that soon I will be home again.
I want to go home.
