I've never met so many classicists in my life.

I think I've met more in the last week than were in my entire collegiate department.

The woman I met last week at the career workshop did her undergraduate work in classical languages.

And today at wellness, the woman one piece of equipment over finished her MA in classical art.

It makes me want to chant the first lines of the Iliad (which I had to memorize and perform in school).

Or, maybe Sappho!

*I learned this as "oh dear," a mild interjection. However, checking it on the web, I see it is commonly translated as "alas," a cry of anguish. I'm not anguished. Just at a loss for words . . .
