hi kathleen
from what I hear at the pool
catlic schools are harder than public school
I wonder if they still teach Latin there

in NY, public schools required Latin while my mom was in public school there
both she and my dad had to take it
but by the time I went to public school they got rid of Latin

it's too bad in a way
some of the courses in high school were waste of time for me
all I learned from Economics is bull market and bear market are different
it might be handy to know some basic Latin
just to know where so many of our words come from
Love, Palo

Catlic school was more difficult back then, we had to score 70 to pass. I took 2 years of Latin, the first year I didn't get it, the second year I loved it. It was very useful for learning word derivatives.

Typing was another story...I remember typing on an old IBM Selectric and having it blow up on me during class. The thing was smoking, and I wasn't even typing that fast. :)

Candy is asleep in front of my desk, she's running and snorting like she's going somewhere fast. She is so cute.
