Today was a busy day! We have all settled in at Andrews Hall with the help of our parents and families. We toured the campus of Randolph-Macon and thought about our personal goals for the next three weeks. We learned each other's names in a couple sessions of the LVDVS NOMINVM. (45 students and 9 staff members make for a lot of new names!!) We learned about the MERCATVS TRAIANI Market of Trajan and began nominating candidates to run for Latin Academy offices. It was a full day, and everyone is excited for what the next week has in store for us! -- Magister Jefferson
