hbelam asked: Just my experience: I'm from Kentucky and I haven't really heard much of Eastern Ky's program. I went to Transylvania University and was a Major in Classics. I love both the major professors, Drs. John Svarlien and Frank Russell. Especially Frank. I truly loved my experience.
Classicists, you KNOW you want to make these. And submit them. You shall be awesome. Cicero would be proud. Virgil would cry tears of joy. Herodotus will write history about you.
Life shall be good. • Ask me anything
• Submit Classics Crocodile

ohmoritarty asked: I love you and your blog. Nothing hurts.
On the otherhand, I just finished my first year of Latin several weeks ago and we used the Oxford Latin Course textbook and I was wondering if you know about the Cambridge one?
Oh Cambridge Latin Course, I love you. Truly, madly, deeply. I have a friend with an unhealthy obsession over Grumio. Like all Latin courses, the stories were a bit mad, but I still love it. What’s the Oxford version like?
One night my friend and I were websurfacing, and she came across a site she thought was in ancient Greek. It was actually Russian. “All the squiggles look the same.”
To be fair, it was really late.
I saw her teacher (who I had back in grade school) at my friends’ eagle ceremony and asked her if I could teach the class. Needless to say, she is pretty excited to have me teach the class.
