Had my MA Latin exam today. I wasn't going to turn it in, but I decided to anyway at the last minute. I don't think I did too badly, so we'll see. If I didn't pass, I have a year before I have to take it again (Have to make on exam attempt per year until you pass at your level) and I'm allowed to not turn in once. It could be up to a month until I get it back, depending on who's grading and if the graders agree on my exam, or if they have to pull in a tie-breaker grader. I had to do two out of four passages, choosing Augustine and Horace over Caesar and Vergil. Methinks I may have passed. I don't wanna jinx it, though.
Still all congested with the allergies and the glaven, but I have rediscovered the beauty that is VapoRub. It's now on my list of miracle products, along with duct tape and chapstick.
In other news, I have now officially leftstupidpetownersfor good. I'm sick and friggin' tired of people judging me for buying my dog from a pet store. My puppy came to me healthy and well cared for. It's possible he came from a puppy mill, but I doubt it. Even if he were, does that mean he doesn't deserve to be loved and given a home? Get proper vet care and a good healthy diet? There are plenty of people who adopt from shelters and then feed crap food and don't take their animals to the vet. He may be "ill-gotten", but at least my dog is healthy and happy. There was a big puppy-mill bust near here last week. Guess how much the puppies are being adopted out for by the shelter that rescued them? $375, $25 more than I paid for my dog, and I didn't have to fill out an application or invite a stranger in to my home to judge my fitness to be a puppy parent. I hate self-righteous pet people.
