Today was our last day of Latin classes :(. In Loquenda groups or individuals presented skits, songs or other forms of tantum Latine entertainment. In de Scelere, we read the final lines of Thyestes and discussed the play as a whole. In oderint we looked at more paintings of sculptures in progress. Everyone enjoyed their classes, and wish that Latin class during the school year could be this fun.
After lunch, we ventured to the gym for the last time. Then, we went to either Memoranda or play practice. The Memoranda team is working furiously to finish all of the memory videos, including the presentation on Sunday. The play held another rehearsal in the auditorium, where everything continued to run smoothly. Another rehearsal, this time a very successful dress rehearsal for students and staff, was held after dinner! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and we can't wait for you to see it tomorrow! We trudged back to our dorms after this to begin packing our belongings :(. We had our final epistulae, and are all stoked for the play tomorrow! - Caroline and Britney
