My Last Post: Moving Onward

Four years.

It's odd to think that it's been this long. I remember the night I made my blog when I was a freshman. I was sitting in the big brown chair in my room, curled up with my computer on my lap. It's bittersweet to think back to that time.

Of course, I could continue to log my life on here, but I want this to blog to be like a time capsule for me. To look back at when I'm older and remember the way I used to be. Even now having graduated, it's really comforting to look back at my memories from when I was younger. I want this blog to encapsulate a certain time from my life. High school was a grueling emotional test, and I want to have my memories cataloged.

I'm about to begin my journey as a college student. It's frightening and exciting,  and I'm uncertain about a lot of things. Currently my plan is to start a new blog, on a more updated platform (Wordpress, most likely), to use for college and beyond.

I love you, InfinitelyPi, and it hurts to say goodbye. It has been lovely having an extension of my journal that I can share with the void of the internet. Thanks for listening.

Love,

Hannah

king lear #spoilers

I finished reading King Lear this morning and... wow. What a great ending. The language in that play was complicated as heeeell but act v just REALLY did it for me. Edgar's last lines were solo perfect. He just tied up the moral and overall theme of the play so well. I was reading it and like gasped. I was sitting on the couch with my mom and explained the whole plot to her just so I could read her the final quote in the play. So many characters died, but I'm not surprised at all considering it's Shakespeare. On average characters died per page for like the last 3 pages of the play lol.

Next I want to read Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I've heard that his histories are nowhere near as good as his tragedies and comedies, but I feel like I have to read this one. Plus I like Shakespeare anyway so I really can't go wrong. I'm also reading The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius and it's really interesting. My dad gave me the book and described it as, "the gossip and drama of ancient Rome". I'm reading the english translation, of course, and all I can think the whole time I read it is, "THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH INDIRECT STATEMENT IN LATIN DO I REALLY WANNA TRY TO FIND A LATIN VERSION OF THE TEXT ONLINE?!?!" Just so we're clear, my answer is YES. Hm maybe I'll do that now o: 

xo

the last day of february already?? i'm trapped beneath so much school work time means nothing to me unless it's in the form of a due date. i worked 545 am - 2 pm today so that was interesting. I took a nice nap this afternoon and now im in bed somewhat successfully doing homework. All my AP spanish homework is done! so that's good!

i participated in certamen on thursday. it's quiz bowl but for huge latin nerd weenies like myself.
here's a super cute pic of my friend kelly and i after we failed at certamen. the catholic homeschool kids beat our team hardcore:

we are just so cute!!

AP latin has been so awkward for me this year because I moved up into a level with ten other kids and they all have been in class together for four years so I definitely have felt like an outsider. but kelly has been such a great friend and we've grown so much closer and i'm so blessed to have a friend who is just as stubborn as i am. 

But anyway.

In AP lit we're reading "King Lear" right now which is fairly good. The plot itself is very thick but I like that. I have to read and reread so much before I can fully appreciate it. I have one act left to read, but so far I still prefer Hamlet (which I read last semester). 

Favorite Latin Quotes right now:

"De re amissa irreparabili ne doleas." You should not grieve over something that is irreplaceably lost.

"Non progredi est regredi." Not to progress is to go backward.

"Lacrimae pondera vocis habent." Tears have the weight of a voice.

THE REAL KICKER:
"PERFER ET OBDURA, DOLOR HIC TIBI PRODERIT OLIM." BE PATIENT AND TOUGH; SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU.
