My Last Wednesday...

So, yesterday, as I told you guys, I had my first final taken care of. Right now, I'm supposed to be studying for the next one, but I just can't concentrate :P I want to tell y'all about my last Wednesday before the end of the school year...

So, we went out for ice cream. That is...me, the Roomie, Professor Thomas, and Courtney. It was really, really fun :) As we were walking back, Professor Thomas and I fell behind Courtney and the Roomie, and he reached out and put his arm around me, drawing me really close to him. Is it bad that I loved it? Is it bad that I loved the warmth and contact with a guy, even if he's just like my best friend, and not a romantic interest? Even if he is a faux professor? I really don't know, but I loved it.

Afterwards, the Roomie and I studied a little, and then headed over to the faux professor's dorm for cards. We played for like two hours before I finally said I had to go and finish studying. Then, it just got silly. I was lying in an arm chair, my legs over one arm, my head at the other, and Professor Thomas used it as a chance to push me across the lobby, and then threatened to pick me up and carry me even further. (I'm small, and he's much taller than I am, so he's always trying to pick me up).

We took pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. It was wonderful and fun and I loved it soo much! I'm going to miss the Roomie and Professor Thomas tons over the summer. I don't know how I'll be able to live without them for three months! (I'll be calling them a lot, that is for certain!)

Latin Wednesday

Hello, and welcome to the first ever Latin Wednesday! (applause and cheering) Well, actually, this is not the start of weekly Latin quotes or anything...I just have a passage from Martial that we had to translate for class today, and I kinda wanted to post it. Enjoy!

Languēbam: sed tū comitātus prōtinus ad mē
vēnisti centum, Symmache, discipulīs.
Centum mē tetigēre manūs aquilōne gelātae:
nōn habuī febrem, Symmache, nunc habeō!

And, I'm guessing that not everyone knows, Latin, so I'm going to attempt to translate this. Please understand that I don't have the "perfect" translation that we went over in class, so what I'm providing is a bit rough...So, please don't smite me down, O gods of Latin! I'm only an Classical Studies Minor!

I was weak: but you attended to me immediately
and brought your hundred students, Symmacus.
One hundred hands chilled by the North Wind touched me:
I did not have a fever, Symmacus, but now I do!

Poor Martial :(
