Latin.. Why?

Question of the week:
                Mom: So where do they speak Latin?
                Sister: I don’t know, in Europe?
                Mom: That’s why Joty’s taking that class, so she has an excuse to go to Europe!

I wish Mom, I wish. My decision to take Beginner’s Latin this semester had more to do with needing a Humanities course and this being the only one available online, but I like how you think! I’m kind of regretting my decision at the moment because let me tell you, Latin is hard! I don't know why, but I had thought that if it's a dead language and there is no oral/verbal component to the class it would be easier than learning other languages but I was wrong. But hey, if it gives me an excuse to convince my parents I should be allowed to go to Europe, I'll gladly take it. Thanks Mom, for giving me my motivation.
