no bloody wonder the Romans died out~! (1 Viewer)

[rukawasan]

all you diligent latin cont and ext students out there

here i am to bitch again (all my msgs have been bitch-related... like all 4 of them) but in the trials i chanced across 2 epiphanies
why the Roman died out and why latin cont and ext is scaled so high... ITS SO FUCKING HARD!

so to all u ppls out there who rekon latin is 'breezy' its not! i mean bloody hell no wonder the Romans died out spending too much time thinking about the right syntax and forgot to breath or something... Vergil's gota be pretty sad to write what... like 10000 lines all of which are in the right meters and if Antony dint kill Cicero, that big blabber mouth... im just about to...

on the other hand... considering the marijuana high scalings lat cont and ext offers... i conclude that it's all worth it!~ hehe

ppls... i just had my lat ext trials today ie SBHS... it was damn hard... and i made th ewrong choice with choosing to do the eng to lat prose rather than the unseen...

howd you ppls find your lat trials?

hi james!

lol, i nearly died yesterday as well. our latin cont trial was really painful and i had more problems with the seen translation than the unseen .

i have ext on tues hehe. dunno how i'm gonna get thru that.

so i'm hoping scaling will somehow save me at the end

hi mic,

I can sympathise - the seen translation was the worst part on the bloody paper!!
Also really hoping scaling will somehow haul me out of the mess that was the trials...

Bugger... I was just about to say look at the number of posts... ah well, we'll get you.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

if u'd approve spamming in the latin forum, we would easily kick jap's arse

 

[flyin']

Well, if you Latin students would actually post something, we'd be ...

We were the most popular forum with more than twice the number of posts before the start of the school year...

 

[pigs_can_fly]

see the problem is that this forum is totally dominated by SBHS, with guest appearances by SGHS and occassional cameos by sum NSBHS dudes. we need more exposure, and more discussion btw the different schools methinks

 

[flyin']

Well, if you post enough other people will inevitably join in, or you'll post enough to laugh at that Jap forum.


There were only three of us last year - Milly, Weisy and flyin'.
There's like a handful... so post away, I say.

 

[Newbie]

[flyin']

problem is, we dun have much to submit
unless neone wants a semi-rendered/literal translation of the set texts?

Just check out the older Latin threads for inspiration.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

Just a reminder... explore the Ancient Archives of Latin!
