Comment on Cadentibus Astris

  1. You're right. Any woman would be out of her mind not to be happy being married to Karac.

    Hugs right back at you! I'm just having fun reading this, while you did all the hard work writing it.

    I actually kinda liked Latin, otherwise I wouldn't have kept taking it for so long. I was really interested in the culture and myths (I also really love your comments about Arthurian legends) and the actual translating of texts was fun too. I was lucky to still have french as well though. All students had mandatory french classes.

    1. Right? Like when you're upper crust and marriage has everything to do with politics you don't mess with a good thing unless you're really stupid, or crazy religious, or really arrogant I guess?

      I had fun writing it so fun for all of us!

      Really? I had mandatory french preschool through eighth grade. So when I got to high school I went straight into Latin and did a year of college latin as a freshman and deeply regretted my life choices. Then I did two years of college Japanese because I apparently hadn't learned my lesson to just stick with the french. But I do agree that translating the old texts from latin into english was the best part of the class.

      1. It's so cool you did Japanese, do you still remember a lot of it?
        We started with french classes when we were 10 and then at 12 I chose the latin program in secondary school. At 13 we started with english (though most were pretty fluent by then already) and at 15 we started having german. They all continued until the end of what you'd call high school. In college I stopped having any languages.

        1. I don't have to have subs to watch most things in Japanese so I think so. My reading skills are way lower because the written language is...I mean I can sing praises to their grammar but fuck their multiple alphabets.

          Oh wow, yeah no English was my first language and honestly my weird love of languages isn't too common here in America. That's awesome you've learned so many.
