It seems absurd that I should enjoy doing Latin homework, but I am. I think it's because he wants it handwritten and this is the first handwritten homework I've done since high school. It's like playing school when you're a kid. And there is pleasure in discovering how much Latin I remember from high school. (Meaning any at all. It isn't much. Like, a word. Maybe two. And the fact that, say, declensions exist. But I enjoy it nonetheless.)

Or maybe it's because my name is Octavia and it's so easy to pretend that I am discipula in Roma antiqua.

(I don't refer to myself by that name often, so slurp it up.)
