Hello Ladies & Gents, my name is Katrina. For now my second home is my school, Cornell University and I learning and I'm learning to love many things. I feel like who I think I am changes every few months so I just wont even try to explain myself. You wont get me...but here, you'll definitely get a glimpse of me. Enjoy. http://khadijalani.tumblr.com/

Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
I sing of arms and of a man, who fled from the shores of Troy because of fate,
Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit

and came from the Lavinian shores to Italy,
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto

this great man was tossed about from the earth to the depths
vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram;
due to the power of the gods and the savage memory of the irate Juno;
multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem,               5
And also many wars had passed, while he was to find the city,
inferretque deos Latio, genus unde Latinum,
and he carried the Latium gods of his fathers, from where in Latinium,
Albanique patres, atque altae moenia Romae.
....and the high walls of Rome.




I think I was close.
