Gaudeamus igitur

"Let's rejoice, then / So let us rejoice"

Originally a drinking song, Gaudeamus igitur is a song (and its first line) still sung today in (at least European) academic circles. Where I'm from, it is traditionally sung at upper secondary school and university graduation ceremonies. And also sometimes at drinking parties centered around singing. It goes kinda hard when sung in the latter context.

bakalářská gotika:

• kurzor bliká za jednou větou už pět dní v kuse, zkusili jste všechno od přepisování věty až po vyvolávání démonů, nic nepomáhá

• "čert vem triangulaci," řekli si akademici a čert tak učinil, jinak si totiž nedovedete vysvětlit, kam se poděla ta jedna všemi citovaná metodologická kniha, kterou nutně potřebujete citovat taky, knihu v pdf nacházíte po hodinách hledání v náhodném příspěvku na síti v kontakte

• otvíráte odkaz do oxford research library, ozve se vrzavý zvuk, zámek open access párkrát změní barvu, nakonec vám ale i tak zablokuje přístup k věci, co jste ještě před pár minutami četli, vytahujete kříž a odříkáváte gaudeamus igitur

• odbíjí třetí hodina ranní, zbývá hodina do rozsvícení reklamních světel naproti vašemu balkonu, máte v sobě litr a půl černého čaje a přemýšlíte kdo anebo co je spánek, jste si jisti, že už jste toho člověka někde potkali, ale kde, to nikdo neví

• vzdálené bzučení teplárny dokreslované srpkem měsíce a mráz se vám snaží naznačit, kam se ubírá vaše budoucnost, chcete věřit, že za týden napsat práci zvládnete, zároveň jste ale ještě nikdy nebyli tak vystresovaní z tak dalekého deadlinu

I am the kind of person who enjoys and loves ceremony. I will cry at weddings and ordinations of people I don't know. If it wasn't intrusive I would have attended every graduation while I was in college for the joy of singing gaudeamus igitur and seeing people throw their caps in the air.

HOWEVER this sentiment specifically and forcibly excludes any sort of end-of-course ceremonies of young children. Might make a reluctant exception for teenagers but have also no interest in attending any of those if I can avoid it.

This most certainly must have NOTHING to do with the fact that A) I was bullied as a child B) my family almost never attended any of mine whatsoever.

Ok I'm super interested in those old timey words owo can I get some from pages:

1111, 1213, 1258, and 1260 ?

If that's too many my only request is a Welsh word from page 69 uwu ty for taking the time!

Oh goodness that's a lot, but you can have two from each

1111 is in T, so we have -

turlough (tur'-lou) n. a shallow pool which dries up in summer (Irish)

turn'skin n. a werewolf.

1213 is in Common Foreign Words and Phrases, so we have -

gaiete de coeur (French) gaiety of heart; high spirits; sheer wantonness. (there's accents on the e's, sorry)

gaudeamus igitur (Latin) let us therefore rejoice.

1258 is Weights and Measures, so we have -

36 bushels = 1 chaldron (1 bushel is 4 pecks, and a peck is 2 gallons, apparently)

10 kilometres = 1 myriametre

1260 is,,, lots of mildly incomprehensible maths, tbh, but then -

first dog watch on board a ship is 4pm to 6pm, but we are currently (by my watch) in second dog watch, 6pm to 8pm

and Noon Greenwich meantime is 7.4am in New York by local time, or 7.0am by national time. Bombay (now Mumbai, since the writing of this book) is 4.51pm local vs 5.30pm national, apparently

In the Welsh dictionary, one word from page 69 - pwyth, -au: nm stitch; -o, vn to stitch; talu'r pwyth, to requite; retaliate.

69 in the English dictionary, you can have one - auxanometer (awk-san-om'-e-ter) n. an instrument for measuring the growth of plants [Greek - auxanein, to increase, metron, a measure].

Ad infinitum

"To infinity"

Can mean enduring forever, repeating infinitely, forevermore

the fact we have a phrase to speak for the endless continuation of something..... when it is used to describe endlessly continuing affection or grief.... it hits so different
