xanithofdragonsSo today I learned that Asch/Ginji (Tales of the Abyss) exists out there as a pairing. Somehow I had never thought of that before. (Probably 'cause I'm not a huge Asch fan... ^^;)
Anyway, to the main focus of this post: I was doing my Latin homework, and I happened upon some amusing information in the commentary.
"When selling themselves to a gladiatorial school, gladiators swore an oath to endure burning, bondage, flogging, death by sword, or anything else imposed upon them by their trainer." - From the Bryn Mawr Latin Commentaries for Seneca's Apocolocyntosis by Paul Roth.
I should really expect this from Rome by now...
Speaking of Latin class, on Monday, the professor was telling both another 1st year and me to declare a classics major, even if we aren't really sure we wanna major in classics to help out the department head for some or another thing. I'm kinda worried about the classics department at our school... But yeah, I wanna major in Japanese, and don't think I'll have time to double major, but a minor, maybe...?
