I am strongly considering doing my nightly journal entries in Latin, since I have been terrible about maintaining my Latin knowledge, and I haven't really been sticking to my planned Thirty Minutes Of Relearning A Day thing.

#i think it would be good if i do it because it would be daily practice with Latin and i would be forced to look up grammatical things #that i've forgotten if i want to use those structures in my journal entries (which i probably will)#but i think it will have a pretty sharp learning curve because the first few nights i will have to look up SO many words and grammar things #plus my journal entries are generally for me to unwind before bed and reflect on my day and idk how well i'd be able to do that if i'm #checking words #because it would be more Screen Time and knowing me i'd get into little research rabbit holes and whatnot #i think after like 5 days of it though i'd only have to look up specific words and after a month it would maybe only be a word or two #also there would be a lot of things that there just aren't words for lol #i do also think it'd be a nice added layer of privacy #i think i'd switch to print instead of cursive though because cursive takes a bit longer for me to read and that + Other Language #would be a bit much for me #yeah....#rambles lol #dante dicit #latin #oh ALSO it would be really funny if someone found my journals after i'd died and all of them were in latin
