GUTTA CAVAT LAPIDEM

Into Week Two

6/30/2019

Salvete omnes!

Today we started the morning off with some relaxing free time. We took advantage of this by sleeping in, grabbing a bite to eat at our leisure, reading, playing games, and starting some games of Dungeons and Dragons. 

After lunch we got our 30 minutes of internet access to email people, catch up on the news, and otherwise connect with the outside world. After dinner, we then started our second Artes session. This built on the first session we had by painting our sculptures and creating panels of our own. As Cavellus would say, the painting makes the sculpture true art.

Finally, we ended our day with fun games and a sacred ritual of scrying held sacred by a select few. 

All in all, today was a relaxed day that marks our first week in Latin Academy. We're looking forward to our next two and all the fun they have in store. 

Valete, 
​Hannah et Hannah
