Update: I rock in Latin. I remember more every time I translate, and I can apply what I've learned to the next text. Why the hell didn't I realize I was a linguist before?

Ah well. At least those skills might be useful... if I can't get a job as a history major, then I'll get one as a translator. There go my worries about job security. I have marketable skills, hooray! ;)

Also, I made an A- on the art history exam. If I hadn't flubbed the ID on the last item I would've had an A. Ah well, there's 4/5 of the grade left to go, comprised by the paper and the final. I can make an A in this class. And it's so much fun - it's all about deciphering mood and emotion and the stances of the people depicted. This is great! I should've taken more art history classes... eh, at least I can take some as complementary to historical study. Yaay art.

Also, more lyrics I found a while back. I'd never heard of the band, just googled some thoughts I'd had. One day I will listen to the song - hope the melody's good.

Circle of Quiet by Patience

Maybe you can tell my why i'm prone to wander
i'm like a gypsy to the bone
every time i hear the rain amid the thunder
i want to run outside and shed my clothes
but i want to stay with you
long enough to love you right
and i want to say to you
i love the patience in your eyes

here i am standing in a circle of quiet
where a truce is tactily observed
standing in a circle of quiet
waiting for the world to turn
waiting for the world to turn
waiting for the world to turn

and a hundred days and night could find me scattered all around the world without a name
but you're more than just a feather in my hat
more than just a fetter on my frame
when I look up in the sky at night
i want to go out and chase the stars
but like the catcher in the rye
i want to stay where you are

there is no shadow of turning with thee
there is no shadow of turning
