Emerging Craftspeople

Salvete omnes,

It has been a very creative day here at Randolph-Macon. After our normal classes and reinforcement activities, we got to participate in play practice and memoranda. Then to the really exciting part... precious gems! Just after dinner, we dived into the ancient world to create items for our market next week.

In classes today, we have eagerly been preparing for Bellum Mercium, taking place tomorrow. It is a very long activity, but should bring even longer lasting memories. We will be exercising not only our Latin, but our diplomatic, bartering, and tactical skills. Tomorrow we will bring you many pictures from the event, but for now...

Valete,
Hannah and HaNnAh
