Brief Newsflash of Studies on a Monday

The past three weeks I went to university fairly regularly and ended up grumpy and exhausted, and last week I skipped every class except for one on Friday where I had been asked to do a presentation. So, after skipping another class this morning, I slept in past 10 a.m. and went to Latin in the early afternoon in a kind of relaxed and happy frame of mind — quite alert, too, considering that it was on Monday. It is the last class before the exam next week, which thankfully I needn't write but which I hope to try for the sake of practice. The Latin course has been very difficult. Since the teaching assistant explains everything so precisely, however, (post facto, though, meaning that my embarrassingly flawed worksheets have already been handed in and are beyond hope of correction) the framework of the grammar has gradually become clear. I feel quite pleased with my progress by the end of the semester, and so (judging by the positive murmurs when the teaching assistant asked for commentary today) is the rest of the class.
