Tiny update:)

Marvel really had no goddamn right dropping Endgame during finals. I got three presentations, an outline, a 13 page paper, a fuckton of math homework, and two exams on my mind, and I am one hundred percent willing to ignore all of them in favor of losing my shit over fictional characters.

Maybe I can get my boyfriend to read them👀💀

Who needs a boyfriend when you have 8650 gay fanfics to read

“Oh, I love books - I read all the time!” I say even though I’ve literally only read fanfiction the last couple of years, what even are books anymore

Tombstones of Ancient Roman Dogs

Aeolidis tumulum festivae cerne catellae, quam dolui inmodice raptam mihi praepete fato.

Behold the tomb of Aeolis, the cheerful little dog, whose loss to fleeting fate pained me beyond measure.

Raeda[r]um custos numquam latravit inepte. nunc silet et cineres vindicat um- bra suos.

This guard of the coaches never barked unsuitably. Now he is silent and his shade protects his ashes.

Quam dulcis fuit ista quam benigna quae cum viveret in sinu iacebat somni conscia semper et cubilis o factum male Myia quod peristi latrares modo si quis adcubaret rivalis dominae licentiosa o factum male Myia quod peristi altum iam tenet insciam sepulcrum nec sevire potes nec insilire nec blandis mihi morsib(us) renides.

How sweet and friendly she was! While she was alive she used to lie in the lap, always sharing sleep and bed. What a shame, Midge, that you have died! You would only bark if some rival took the liberty of lying up against your mistress. What a shame, Midge, that you have died! The depths of the grave now hold you and you know nothing about it. You cannot go wild nor jump on me, and you do not bare your teeth at me with bites that do not hurt.

Portavi lacrimis madidus te nostra catella, quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus. ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis osculla mille nec poteris collo grata cubare meo. tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis, morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam; perdidimus quales, hei mihi, delicias. tu dulcis, Patrice, nostras attingere mensas consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos, lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus, accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter

Bedewed with tears I have carried you, our little dog, as in happier circumstances I did fifteen years ago. So now, Patrice, you will no longer give me a thousand kisses, nor will you be able to lie affectionately round my neck. You were a good dog, and in sorrow I have placed you in a marble tomb, and I have united you forever to myself when I die. You readily matched a human with your clever ways; alas, what a pet we have lost! You, sweet Patrice, were in the habit of joining us at table and fawningly asking for food in our lap, you were accustomed to lick with your greedy tongue the cup which my hands often held for you and regularly to welcome your tired master with wagging tail.

school mindset

essays: make each essay you write better than the last


 small assignments: aim for 100s, expect 100s, get 100s


 homework: pretend they’re assignments


 homework that’s not graded: pretend! they’re! assignments!


 tests: study for 100s, expect less


 long term projects: act like it’s due in four days -even when it’s not- until you’re done with it


 group projects: do not get angry


 presentations: pretend you’re obama

disclaimer: this works for me, it may not work for everybody, do not push yourself too hard!!

annotate

make sure to read the poem at least 3 times over. skim once, and read twice. Skim and read once each if you don’t think you have enough time. Don’t let the length of it intimidate you.

annotate anything that will help you to answer the question. Answering the question, aside from literary devices on their own, is the most important.

be selective about the quotes and literary devices you find, and identify which ones you can write more about.

I love my Brucie-bear <3

[solasity81]

So for grad school on Monday, I have to teach four Latin words to the rest of the class (all language teachers, none of whom know Latin, all of whom know my antics) without explaining what they mean in English.

I’m thinking of coming in in full Athena/Minerva costume, labeling my spear, shield, helmet, and aegis, and just yelling at them in Latin like I am a vengeful goddess carrying their doom at the end of my craft foam spear.

Thoughts?
