I'm a PhD student and I'm pretty embarrassed about my Latin and Greek ability.

I can ready Caesar pretty well and other late antique texts (with some vocabulary help) but I struggle with poetry...

I should never have done Classics... however, I'm try to improve but I need to take more on myself and not stick just with class work...

Lol yah, I think so. Obviously professor is a extremely comfy job, especially in archaeology, and I'm envious of the people there but god bless them

My research area is okay, but I'll probably go the way of some adjuncts I knew who became researches in the Canadian government starting at a 6 figure salary. Honestly not even looking for tenure based on those dudes. Objectively better scholars than I will ever be and could not land a job. Why get stuck at $30-40k shitter jobs when you can just bail and go into research.

It's probably a bit soul-crushing but it could not be worse than what contemporary academia is like with the uselessness of assignments and the condescending nature. This people only read NYT best sellers when they aren't reading their specific fields lit (though I have known a couple of based professors).

You could, at the very least, have graced me by attempting to read and understand what I wrote. I will not put more effort in this conversation than you do.
Consequently, I will content myself in calling you stupid and leaving.
"You are stupid.".

Won't learning a new language take up valuable memory space?

Why do you write fiction? I don't get it, you either get to the level of the classics or your writing is useless. I'm only a reader.

Why are black people referred to as "shitskins" here? Don't tell me that your faeces are black? You guys should probably see a doctor for that
