I am learning how to speak Latin at school. But it's not really amusing when your teacher doesn't even move on the first chapter after months anad you start to realize that the year is over in less than 20 days. lol. So yeah... there goes my learning.

I wanted to do Latin, but my school, being one of those really crap sports-obsessed "elite" private schools, didn't do it o_O

We're learning about taxonomy in my biophysics class, so we're going to learn a little Latin. But my school isn't offering Latin next year because their cutting a lot of classes to save money.

It means "seize the day." ^_^ I speak Italian...which is extremely similar to Latin...O_o So, if someone threw Latin phrases/words at me, I'd probably be able to interpret most of it. *shrugs*

estuans interius ira vehementi = burning inside with violent anger
sors imanis et inanis = fate monstrous and empty
veni, veni, venias ne me mori facias = o come, o come, o come, do not let me die
mens sana in corpore sano = healthy mind in healthy body
quo edvas naturalis non disturba = what comes natural doesn't bother ^_^ ...so stop complaining about people who love Dragons!!
Had enough? Thought so! XD
*sigh* They teach italian and latin in my hi-school but not at my math-informatics profile so I don't learn 'em. XD

I took only about 4 weeks of formal Latin instruction, but I'm quite familiar with both Spanish and a little bit of Italian and French, so I'd probably be able to translate latin if I had time to think about it. XD
