Salvete! We have completed our second week and it seems like it's been no time at all! But it's true, and, while we will all miss seeing the friends we've made everyday, we are also extremely excited to go home to our families - and our phones ;) Today was a very relaxing day, and we didn't do much, but it was also very fun. We had play practice and Greek drill, followed by more preparation for our Mercatus Traiani, or our Trojan Market. We ended the day with a celebration of the passing week, and a ping pong tournament in the dorm. Good night to all! Valete! Play practice! Have you all made plans to come to the play on 2 pm Saturday July 16th? Check the last page of the student packet (found under "Materials") for a formal invitation!
