Launching new website!

Check out my new website for Coram Deo Tutorials, my online school where I teach Latin, History, Grammar, and Music Theory. I would love any feedback as I am still relatively new to web design.

My Thesis Adviser

A couple of weeks ago, I found this article in the Community Tribune about my thesis adviser, Professor Corey Brennan! I didn't realize he was such an accomplished and famous classicist! Apparently, he is going on leave for 3 years to the American Academy in Rome. How awesome is that!

AND he used to be in a rock band called The Lemonheads!

Alert: nerd post

I just discovered the most amazing tool, and I'm sure I must be the slowest college student not to have discovered it until now.

Did you know that if you're a university student, you can request articles to be sent to you electronically? Rutgers libraries has a pretty big collection of electronic periodicals but they usually don't go back far enough. Today, I needed an article from 1971 which was not available electronically. I filled out an ILL request form to have the article delivered to me, and within 3 hours, I received the article in my account scanned in and delivered in PDF format! Do they hire people to run around in the libraries and fill requests like these?

I can't believe I did not discover this until my final semester of college. What an amazing service!

Here's the link so you can try it out for yourself.
