Happy New Year and all that
Well, it transpires I’m terrible at keeping this thing up to date. All it takes is the equivalent of a full time job simultaneously with a full time degree course, social life and family ties to make me stop writing a weblog. Who’d have thought it?
I’m not going to subscribe to the cliché of posting any New Years Resolutions here; such an indulgence would be a waste of time for all concerned. However, in my original spirit of keeping only things people would actually be interested in, I shall reveal one: For several years now I’ve wanted to learn Latin, and now I actually intend to.
I did make a start a couple of years ago and progressed a little way, until the real life gremlins appeared to foil my attempt. This time, I’m resolved to make a better effort. Additionally, rather than signing onto a Latin course at university, I’ve decided to “go it alone”. Armed with suitable textbooks, dictionaries, audio guides and an inexhaustible well of new years resoluteness, I’m going to complete the equivalent of a high school Latin course. Oh, and I’m going to write about it here. Look forward to part one shortly, or unsubscribe now!
I don’t want to carry baggage into 2006 with me, so consider all currently unfinished article series dead - I suspect they were of little interest or value anyway. If anyone has any questions regarding anything that’s now hanging in literary limbo, just drop me an e-mail.
