Back into the Latin this morning with my tutor, Greg.\u00a0 Boy, I got rusty in just two months off.\u00a0 This language stuff requires constant attention.\u00a0 When I went through college and sem, I took courses that I could set aside for weeks at a time, do a reading and note review in one big gulp, then be fine for a mid-term or a final.\u00a0 I can’t do that with Latin.\u00a0 It’s probably why I never learned a language.\u00a0 The repeated application just didn’t suit the style I brought to learning.\u00a0 Now, older, I’m more methodical, more patient with myself and feel no pressure for a grade.\u00a0 Makes the process better, though not simpler.<\/p>\n
So.\u00a0 This ends the intellectually demanding week I’ve had since Tuesday morning.\u00a0 Whew.\u00a0 A bit of let down now, a kick back and read.\u00a0 Then, I’m going to pick up the Latin again this afternoon after the nap.\u00a0 Strike while the mental iron is still hot.<\/p>\n
The weekend will see me finishing the bulb planting-24 tulips, harvesting carrots and beets and leeks and squash, maybe even some more greens.\u00a0 I’ll also get the bees ready for their cardboard wraps, though I won’t put them on until sometime in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
