Et tu, Brute?

Latin is killing me!! Actually, it's not so much the Latin itself as the fact that the lecture is at 8 in the morning. Which means I have to be up at 5:30 am to be sure I have enough time to walk Amelie and catch the train at 6:43. It's like working at Starbucks all over again, except worse because I'm not getting paid, and I'm learning Latin. I don't feel nearly as lost as I did on the first day, though, so that's good. And I ordered a book online yesterday so that I can learn Latin in English, just to be sure I actually understand what's going on. It's really confusing trying to learn a foreign language in a foreign language. It's like I told my mom: By the end of this first year, I'll be able to translate Latin into German and still not know what the hell it says. Actually, though, I think that learning Latin is going to help improve my German. It's going to force me to expand my vocabulary, and, it's going to improve my understanding of German grammar because I have to make sure that I'm translating into the proper tense, case, etc. As hard is it is, I think it's going to be good for me.

Oh, and since I mentioned the new hair-do, here's a picture of it.
