Long time: no blog

Dear Diary,

I haven’t blogged in a while, I’ve been busy. A couple of days ago I just finished my first Latin essay. It was the wrong dimensions so I must re-write it.

In one week I have an archæology deadline. Both subjects are fascinating, but neither of them are as interesting as either ethnography or in-particular: history. Ironically the Latin suits me more. Though tougher than archæology (which is at least written in the vernacular) learning Classical Latin gets easier. Modern archæology entails a lot of digging. Do I want to dig for a living? No. I would rather do literary research, perhaps focus purely on literature, the history of. I really do like reading old books and want to dedicate my life studying them. Most people would find this boring, but I do not. It is not archæology or pre-history which interests me, but just good old fashioned history. Plutarch’s Lives, Suetonius Twelve Cæsar, Livy’s History of Rome, not to mention Polybius, Herodotus or Thucydidēs. Classic reading material for an ancient historian.

Max.
