Fun with Latin!!! (aka: I have no life)
Jun. 15th, 2007 09:04 amAmazing! I'm actually posting!
So yeah, I have this crazy idea that I want to get a 5 on the AP Latin test, so anything that could improve my Latin skillz would help out with that a lot. There's also the fact that there's a slight chance I could get onto the Ohio certamen team for NJCL. And I'm going to be taking several tests at NJCL anyway. (Even if I can't make it into competitive certamen, I'll still be doing open certamen :))
So, with that and my newfound love for Franz Ferdinand's song "Michael" (btw, best band name ever), I've decided to do something really nerdy and translate the lyrics of that song into Latin, as well as I possibly can.
