Tiring day. Two essay tests, one of which I had to go back and finish during break, which meant that, because of a class meeting for Spirit Week after lunch, I had virtually no free time until 9th period. Then after that came Driver's Ed, followed all-too-soon by a very long (temporally) amount of notes for Euro, Bio, and then reading/notes for English.
...Somehow, Calculus is currently my easiest class. (Whether it will remain so when we finish Precalc review remains to be seen.) Latin is fun, but parts of the Aeneid are very hard. Though that doesn't make them un-fun. Everything gets easy when reading about Juno's anger, I've found... She just about hates everything. She's jealous of Minerva, hates Venus and Paris and the Trojans and sometimes Jupiter... Well, she likes the Greeks, but this isn't about them. She does like Carthage, though.
And one of the books we're using in Greek, Athenaze, which is more or less the Ecce Romani of Greek, is downright easy. Gives you all the words and these very boring sentences, but there's only so much you're allowed to do with two declensions of nouns and one verb form. (Dr. Jones would make things more random and thereby more interesting, but you aren't really allowed to write about scurrae elephantis necati in textbooks. To use a Latin example.) But anyway, having fun; it's very relaxing. Greek and Latin are so similar grammatically that it's almost like taking Latin 1 after my five years of the language.
