Hello all,

I will be applying to Law school this fall/spring to begin fall 2005. Initially I really wanted to go to the U.S., but then realized I cannot afford US$30'000 per year, and getting into serious debt would further aggravate my depression.

Anyway, I'm hunting around Europe, and found some cool programs in France and Germany. The problem is, I DO NOT SPEAK GERMAN! (French and English are both my mother tongues, and I ...

"amo aqua , egeo in aqua vivere"

Interpol (um, you're missing out if you haven't heard their tunes)
Death Cab for Cutie
British Sea Power ...

Does anyone have a personal Greek verse about arete, perferably in poetry? I'm thinking of something along the lines of Iliad or Odyssey. I know of plenty of Socratic verses, but this is something that a poet would quote. Thanks

Lots of other stuff!

The other day I came upon the phrase, "Is non modo hoc non perfecit." (It was followed by an 'ut' clause.) Try as I might, I simply couldn't get a meaning to fit.
