With an Arsenal 4-1 victory today, it is ST. TOTTERINGHAM'S DAY!!!

Woohoo!!!

Once again, this is going "Friends Only." However, I have a decent excuse this time. I have accepted an offer to teach Latin I in the Fall at USF. Yes, somebody is actually trusting me with people's college education!

Real Update Forthcoming Once the Semester Winds Down

So I am here at "work" translating Seneca and I find a few sentences which are so amazing. This is section 9.1 from De Brevitate Vitae (On the Shortness of Life ( Read more... )

Today was probably one of the best days I have had in a really long time. Many of the things which needed to go right did and the results were just perfect. I had to present a paper today at the USF World Language Colloquium and everything went quite well. This is my third official presentation so I am becoming comfortable in front of an ( Read more... )

I haven't written in a while so it needs to be done. I have had that itch to put something down but I haven't been inspired to lately for some reason. Oh well, it is time to get out of that funk and see what's going on in my tiny world ( Read more... )

As a start of my Total Life Evaluation, I have decided to list a few things I want to do during my lifetime but more specifically the next 5 or so years. There is no particular order to the list, although some certainly take precedence over others ( Read more... )

Well another semester is wrapping up and I think I can pretty much sum it up quite easily: lackluster. My heart just has not been into it but, despite that, my grades should be close to a 4.0. I just haven't felt too challenged and it's been hard to keep motivated. All I have left are to finish a 7-page paper (4 are done and the rest is much ( Read more... )
