Today began like most other days: breakfast and classes. In Mores, we learned about the client system and wrote about our persona connections. We learned about Baroque-style Hellenistic art in Hellenistic Art. Also, we learned the imperfect tense in Greek. Then, we ate a fantastic lunch and went back to Andrews for our guest lecture. Dr. John Miller from UVa spoke to us about Ovid. During his lecture, we read some of Ars Amortia and discussed what Ovid was mocking.
Afterwards, we went to play practice and Memoranda. The play practiced with the musicians again. We can't wait to see you at 2 p.m. in Blackwell theater on Saturday for our final performance! The Memoranda team is hard at work on their presentation for the closing ceremony on Sunday. Before dinner, students had the option to either go to the gym for some structured free time or they could stay behind and work on their Mercatus projects. We continued working on these after dinner, and are getting very hype for the conclusion of this project on Wednesday. Currently, we are relaxing in the multipurpose room after another epistulae distribution and eagerly anticipating tomorrow's activities. - Britney and Caroline
