I honestly could not believe my eyes when I saw that post. It was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Everyone was like "The only thing they need now is Hugh Laurie as Moriarty"
They're cushioned and padded, and therefore make the 3 hour long lecture somewhat better.I hate the seats for the Latin classroom which be default is also my History classroom.
I wouldn't hate the Latin seats so much except I can't cross my legs, and they're the same seats I have in my Women's Studies 3-hour lecture. So that sucks.

Declensions <3 Wait, declensions are the first, the second, the third... Nominative, ablative are cases, aren't they? Or are the terms different in English?
Ha, yeah, I just had a discussion about how declensions weren't needed in English, so it may be more difficult to learn. Well, that makes me wonder about how the grammar is taugh. I mean, in French, we don't have them like in German or Latin either, but I remember the grammar objects from French were used to understand the Latin one. And how much Latin helped me to remember them ( and therefor helped me in French. Same for Italian and German. And sometimes English. So... But damn, I miss Latin classes so much ;A;
Glad you managed to sort everything out with uni \o/
See? Yes I believe I mean cases although they go hand in hand with declensions...I think. According to my instructor, English has declensions but we don't use them as much. Also, I'm practically re-learning sentence structure as well as Latin, to the point that Gwyneth (our instructor) said I should xerox a copy of Cat in the Hat and underline "Subject, verb, direct object" and vice versa as practice.
It's more problematic for me because I never really learned English formally due to my teachers in pre-school to grade 1 being rather unhelpful, and half of what I learnt was from reading in general so...yeah.
Well, the case will be marked differently depending of the case - for exemple the ablative for the 1st one is -a when it is -o for the 2nd, -e for the 3th...
Ah yeah it's true. The wholse who, whose, whome and all are kinda declensions. I need more English grammar. Really.
I escaped the transformation of grammar teaching. They decided French was too complicated to teach and so changed all the name of something. But bleah, grammar basic structures are indeed the key. It's more difficult to learn a language if you don't know your grammar.
Never was a big fan of Wilde, to be honest. I did like the one with the nightingale and the rose, but I haven't quite been able to get through Dorian Grey. (The Oscar Wilde tome we picked up from a library sale, sitting next to the laptop is staring at me. I don't really feel bad BECAUSE HIS STORIES ARE SO TRAGIC
( ... )
TBH I've only ever read Dorian Gray although I have a copy of his play "The Importance of Being Earnest" in my bookcase ..which I've never touched but it's good to know I've got it.
GASP, YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED QI HOSTED BY STEPHEN FRY?? BLASPHEMY, GET THEE TO A YOUTUBE. (And of course him as Oscar Wilde in the film Wilde where Jude Law gets naked as his boytoy lover)
Sadly, I believe Daniel Day Lewis is playing Moriarty, but HEY it's not BRAD PITT. Well for Latin we started out with easy vocab and we go through chapters in our textbook while learning basic grammar.
Oh I hate the fold out desk, they're never big enough for really anything. Haha I decided to not do a whine post where I have my English topic proposal due this coming Thursday, first Psych chapter test this Friday, and my History term topic bibliography due next Monday on the 4th. :D

Glad to hear you're registered, though. Was wondering what'd happened about that.
The chairs in the lecturing hall for psych aren't normal chairs! You lucky thing. All my classes are the same...
