N.B. This is an old post from the previous iteration of this site. I’ve tweaked a few things here and there in the entry, but they are mostly unchanged. My previous website was more of a jobs site, so a lot of the entries are Classics-centric, and that won’t necessarily be the case going forward.
Since I’m not in the field any more, I’m really trying to be intentional about making enough time for the classics. I have been going to Latin dinners with friends, where we speak Latin and read Latin texts together, which is really helpful. However, that’s only every other week or so, which isn’t all that conducive to me keeping up my skills. I’ve also been trying to listen to Latin podcasts, too, but since my wife and I have been carpooling more often than not – not a bad thing! – I haven’t had a chance to listen to Latin podcasts in the car as usual. I don’t often listen to Latin podcasts while just hanging out at home, since I get too distracted. Strangely, though, while driving, I can pay attention to driving but also focus in on the Latin in the podcast.
