jazzfishAfter two failed attempts [once because I only brought the registration and forgot the title, and once because the DMV closed the Friday before MLK day, which I should've expected since Dad had mentioned getting that day off] I finally managed to sign Glyndwr over to David-from-work this afternoon, dropping my insurance premium by $150/month half-year. And incidentally making the leftover water in the trunk Not My Problem. Though I did offer to split the cost of repairing it if it turns out to need actual repairs beyond the resealing that they did a couple weeks ago and simply letting it all evaporate out.
Also, I have a parking permit.
Classes look to be interesting, though Design Lab is starting right in with the ass-kicking this semester. I'm taking second-semester Latin, because, hey, it's been ten years, and I'd really like to be able to translate random Latin bits that I find scattered about in books and things. I'm extremely shaky on my pronouns and my vocab is crap, but other than that I seem to have a good grip on first-semester Latin. And I already know the various flavors of perfect tense, so that's, like, an entire two class periods worth of work right there. Go me.
I took three years of Latin in high school, under the spectacularly mediocre Dr. Carter. I quite literally don't remember a single thing we learned in Latin III. I think that was the year I did "UBI EST CAESAR?" as an artsy-type project, or maybe that was just an idea and I never actually carried through. I also remember that Dr. Carter was out ("sick") literally every other Monday.
And I have a way cool userpic, from the best comic ever.
