I can totally relate to this. I had to stop myself from saying "saluete omnes" to my Politics class yesterday.You know you're a Latin junkie when you are so used to randomly inserting Latin phrases like "gratias" and "optime!" into conversation that you accidentally say "Gratias" to your science teacher (who does not know Latin).
You know you're a Latin junkie when you pause while writing the above, search in vain for a concise English equivalent of legendus, and briefly consider just writing the whole sentence in Latin.Banned because I've been swamped by a lengthy Greek text that I need to read for a quiz tomorrow.
Me too. You know you're a Latin junkie when you're writing an essay and end up looking up a Latin word (which came to mind first) to find possible English equivalents.I've had similar experiences.
Well, it sort of sounds like the cat is thinking he needs to eat more food than (he thinks/knows) he needs to eat (i.e. if it were in acc-inf, this would be in subjunctive); whereas I meant that the cat is always thinking he needs to eat more food than (in actual fact) he needs to eat (i.e. indicative if it were in acc-inf).What's ambiguous in the English?
Maybe you should go watch some popular movies or sports or such just to expand your range of conversational topics a bit.This happened to me today.
You know you're a Latin junkie when you're having a conversation with your friends at lunch (about Latin class and other related matters) and someone else at your table (whom you barely know) says "Do you ever talk about anything except Latin? I've never heard you talking about anything else."
You've mentioned you have friends in that class that also like Latin and are good at it. So not everyone in that class is hopeless, then? Or are the friends in question in a higher class or something?You know you're a Latin junkie when you're having a conversation with your friends at lunch (about Latin class and other related matters)
They're in the same level of Latin class, but in a different section (they don't have it at the same period as I do).You've mentioned you have friends in that class that also like Latin and are good at it.

How did you end up in the class with all the people who don't care? That sucks.They're in the same level of Latin class, but in a different section (they don't have it at the same period as I do).
On second thought, (most) popular movies are boring. Latin, however, is fun. I would've liked to be at your guys' table in high school.Maybe you should go watch some popular movies or sports or such just to expand your range of conversational topics a bit.
O saevam Fortunam! *shakes fist at heavens*It's random distribution.
