Salvete! Today we went on a field trip to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and it. Was. AMAZING. We went on a scavenger hunt in our provinces, and then ate and explored the museum in small groups. We had so much fun there, especially in the outside exhibit, which was beautiful. When we got back we had our first play rehearsal in the theater, and also began to pack up to go home. The latter made us both excited and sad, because we are so conflicted about whether we really want to go home after getting to know everyone so well. After dinner we played Certagon, which is kind of like Quizbowl, a competition of the brains. In the end, Team Clytemnestra, composed of Arjun, Will, and Jinna, won. Congratulations to them, they really earned their win! Afterwards, a panel comprised of our beloved Academy staff gave us lots of advice on college, the Classics, and life. We are so thankful that they did that for us! Please enjoy some pictures of our trip to the museum! And don't forget to plan for events on Saturday and Sunday!
