"He studied Latin like the violin, because he liked it."
-Robert Frost, "Death of the Hired Man"
Two of my favorite things: Latin, and Robert Frost.
I'm sitting here on my bed with a pile of Latin textbooks, and I couldn't be more excited about returning to school this fall. As much as I'm looking forward to my history major, I'm looking forward to my Latin minor.
I have my Latin text from when I took the same class 5 years ago- they use the same one. Is it too early to start studying?
Also. I ordered textbooks for the fall today- I forgot how expensive this was. It's pretty ridiculous- college should be affordable so that more people can have the chance to go. Don't you want the young adults of our country to be well educated? I feel like that should be more important to the people making books for higher education, but I guess it is too much to ask for consideration in that regard.

I am so glad I'm through paying for text books. They got even crazier in grad school (well, except for the Western Civ books from my Frosh year - those were beyond insane). I used to get mine from half.com - and then sold them there to make my money back. :)
Yeah! Way too expensive!
At least now, there's a law where they can't make new editions of the text books for something like 5 years!
