Finals Wednesday and Thursday were final exam days at school. English was easy, I only needed a 46% to maintain an A anyway. The quality of the chemistry final was disappointing however. I knew it would be easy, but I was expecting some sort of minor challenge. I finished in 25 minutes, then completely checked my work and turned it in. The chemistry final ranked easier than a P.E. final. Latin was similarly easy, being the translation into English of Chapter 7 (holidays) which I had already completed. On Thursday, I started out with Interdisciplinary Studies, which was fine except for the essay part. We had 25 minutes to write an essay, and I was writing until the last second. There isn't much worth mentioning about history or physics, both were pretty easy as well. For winter break, I'm hoping to get ahead a few chapters in Latin, learn more Norwegian, and work on this site more. You may notice the little advertisement-style images underneath the poll. Those are links to other sites I have. Click them :) Re: Finals 20 December 2002 15:29 slimey_limeyWhat Latin book do you use in your Latin class?
We use Ecce Romani (Look! Romans! AAH!) Re: Re: Finals 20 December 2002 17:33 Michael VincentI used that book my first year. I was (and still am) very frustrated that when the Cornelii carriage fell in the ditch, the picture showed like 8 people standing around and they didn't even try to pull it out themselves :).
Anyway, for the last 2 years my school has been using Latin for Americans. Possibly this is affected by having not seen Ecce Romani for two years, but I like Latin for Americans much better. I'm on the second book right now, and in 4 more chapters I get to learn the subjunctive mood (I'm happy about that). The two series presented grammar concepts in different orders as well.

SO yea, that honor interdisblahblah class final was easy in the essay part, you just needed to feel very strongly about one of the topics, see i liked the art one and i wrote my heart in it. but the test was hard! anyways, do you know how we can get our grades on that final? |
