I've had my results back for a Latin exam I had (which is a little like GCSE) and I got an A in it. Now everyone's like WELL DONE!!! I was quite happy with it as I wan't expecting it, but now everyone's making me feel like I'm a Latin geek. Is this normal? XD

In the 21st century, less normal than ever - so well done! Latin gets trickier from Year 10 onwards (have you done ablative absolutes yet?), so a year from now you may not feel like a Latin geek!

Thank you! I can't say I've even heard of ablative absolutes so it looks like my Latin geekiness is going to be short-lived XD

Oh great. Now I've been offered to learn Ancient Greek as well -_- And of course I said yes! XD

With a view to taking the GCSE?
Ancient Greek is quite a challenge. You may well find the tenses harder to get to grips with than Latin tenses, but you should enjoy seeing how many English and Latin words have their origins in Greek. And you'll get to use a true lexicon! With any luck, you will get to see some Greek drama performed on stage too.

Well I quit Greek after a few months because my teacher was getting really irritating and I was terrible at it XD As for my Latin, I got a C in my end of year 10 test, so now I'm dreading the GCSE's XDDD
