Date: 2010-03-20 02:16 pm (UTC)I am working on the first question now. It is, in my plain-language translation, "Why do you want to come here?"
I know why I want to go there - it is a place to learn how to think, and also other cool things like Newton and Aquinas and such. And also it is a place where "liberal arts" literally means "the arts proper to the free person", and after 4.3 years as basically a slave to an evil fixer-upper house (I'm not kidding), I could use a little knowing what freedom is, because I don't.
But how in the heck am I supposed to turn that into good rational-sounding English?!
