Aestas

I had my last MARS 1F90 lecture last night, which was bittersweet. As with all of my classes, I'm looking forward to the term being done and not having to do assignments and readings. However, I know within a month I will be lost without those assignments and readings. Dr. Basson finished off the lecture with the quote, "Quam sit humaniter vivendum?". So...how will I live a more humane life this spring and summer? Well, here are my goals:

1. Continue with Wheelock. I plan on taking Latin next year as well. Dr. Parker did say that we would be working with Wheelock next year, but I would like to go through and do questions in the back of the book and get ahead at least a few chapters.

2. Finish 38 Stories. Goes with above.

3. Attempt to read Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis. 


This will probably be done hand in hand with this:



4. Learn Spanish! My brother has offered to lend me his Rosetta Stone Spanish set. I have no idea why he has this as he doesn't travel and is in school for landscaping...never mind.

I obviously won't stay in studying all summer! The kids will be off school soon enough (too soon). I'm going to congress at the end of May (as part of the Canadian Society of Medievalists), I have a big Geocaching weekend at the end of June in Tottenham, and I will probably be going up to Ottawa to visit family in July. Plus maybe I can take Wheelock to the beach?
