In Rome's proud steps we're marching on...

Well, I enjoyed Nationals this year!

It started off sort of...rockily (is that a word? omg), but it ended up being rather fun.

Of course I probably would've rather traveled to somewhere and had some fun before or after, but oh well. Hosting it was an interesting change of pace.

I think I want to go next year.

I'd actually like to go for as long as I can.

I'll probably stop going once my friends stop going, but hopefully that won't be for another few years. :]

SCL is infinitely less fun than JCL, but it's still Nationals.

I love the post-Nationals 'rush' I always feel.

I always walk away feeling really inspired and motivated.

It's kind of hard not to when you're around over 1,000 of probably some of the brightest people in the country.

Every other year in the past I've let the inspiration and motivation fizzle out rather quickly, but I hope to not do that this year.

I really miss Latin.

I need to take a Latin class soon...or, at the very least, I need to start studying it on my own again. I don't want to forget everything!

I may not be going into Latin or the Classics or even anything related, but it's not something I want to lose. I'd like to keep it forever.

In other news I turned 19 like a week ago.

I hate it and it feels weird and that's about all I have to say!

School starts up again in a few weeks.

On one hand I'm looking forward to it, but on the other hand I'm really not.

I'm really looking forward to cooler weather.

Summer weather makes me especially lazy and just kind of cranky.

I love fall and winter. I feel like I'm more productive in those seasons too.

I suppose that's all I have to say for now.
