Latin is a dead language... why would you devote your life to something that doesnt exist? :)

for your information, latin is NOT dead..and it doesn't exist?? where have YOU been?? if it didn't exist no trace of it would be here! haven't you ever heard people say "status quo" or heard of "summa cum laude"? english and other languiges comes from latin! sometimes i can figure out words from their latin roots. bands i listen to have latin in them and i like translating it..i like reading real latin from thousands of years ago..it's pretty amazing..go to rome and you'll find latin (and old churches too)..i like the thrill of being able to translate it. even movies have latin in them. latina est non mortuua!

It's one thing to day Latin is dead, but to say it doesn't exist?? Silly people haha

Today's Latin: date mihi quietem (give me a break)

On Friday after lunch we drove to San Antonio (or near there). It stormed. We got to the school near 10:30 and the hotel at 11 something I think. We had to get up at 6 something yesterday...I went to bed at 1 something (as did the others in the room). Yesterday we took our tests (and I turned my photo for judging). This mottoes test was kinda easier than the one at area. After tests we hung out...I went to the auditorium and checked out the stage lights. There was also a talent show...one was a martial arts guy and did sweet stuff with a sword! There was also a juggler who was juggling an apple and plastic balls and she bit into the apple while still juggling! Whoa. There was a person dancing an Irish jig...that was pretty cool. And finally at 6 something was the awards ceremony. There was a MASSIVE amount of screaming so it was hard to hear. When the ceremony was finally over (too..much..screaming *melts into the floor*) Magister got all the scores of the tests, etc and I looked on the bus...and I got second place for my picture!! The pic was one of the Colisseum I took in Rome. So I can go to nationals if my school decides to go!! Who knew the pic would hold that fate haha? Aaaand today we drove home. Whooo for nationals!!
