I gather that I'm meant to post here first to introduce myself, so hello! I've lurked on these boards for a while, largely just to find out more random Latin tidbits and to see if I know the answers to some of the easier questions that come up - I'm now almost confident enough to start posting.
As to who I am and what I do, I have about a year of Latin under my belt (firstly at Princeton, where I spent a semester abroad, then at Oxford where I read ancient history) - more specifically, I've finished Wheelock and am working my way through his Loci Immutati - and I'm going to take up Greek intensively this summer at University College Cork, in order to go on to postgraduate work in Classics.

Re: Introduction
Welcome. I'm glad to see you've started posting--don't worry about confidence, you'll gain that the more you practice. You'll find that people post questions ranging from the most simple inquiries about declension to complex investigations of syntax, etc.
