Proud of my sister Dr Olivia Szepietowski, MBBS PhD, my mum and #sewweybridge for making scrubs for Ashford & St Peter's #NHSheroes
So proud of Mary Seery-Kearney for becoming a Senator!
My new blog post is up! I discuss the talk I attended by Prof. Michael Scott - link in my bio
In March I won the Latin Reading Competition for the GCSE Latin Solo Category. I read a rendition from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. I loved participating in this competition as it enabled me to immerse myself in the classical world! Guildford Classical Assoc. (I was on my way to read in this photo!)
I attended an online talk by Natalie Haynes held by Guildford Classical Assoc. about her new book Pandora’s Jar! It was one of the best talks I’ve seen, I’m delighted she decided to give the women of Greek myths the reassessment of their stories that they deserved - I can’t wait to read it!
I really enjoyed this conversation! Thank you University of Oxford Oxford Classics Outreach
At the start of August, I completed the JACTGreekSummerSch Summer School! I had the most amazing time reading, studying and translating Greek. The lectures were beyond fascinating and I particularly enjoyed studying Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ Book XI and Sophocles’ ‘Philoctetes’.
I completed another archaeological dig this summer! I found some painted wall plaster, a horse jaw and lots of pieces of pottery. Such an exciting and rewarding experience! Thank you Archeoscan
I’m delighted to be singing the Magnificat solo this week - if you’re free and in Cambridge, please come along! Downing College
Delighted to have been here in Dublin working for Mary Seery-Kearney to witness this momentous day!
