(journal #17:) Latin

I am hoping to take Latin next year in ninth grade. I think it would be an interesting and useful language to learn. There are a lot of things written in Latin, and I think that it would be fun to be able to read all of them. I would stop taking French, which I think is boring. The only trouble is that you have to be really smart and do really well in language to take it. Last year in French I did really well and got all A's, but this year I'm not sure I will. I got a low B on one quiz, and I have not been doing too well on homework. Mr. Kent is a very easy grader, hough. I like Miss Bock (I don't know her married name) a lot better. I'm praying that I can get into Latin next year.
