Pictura Movens I

Today was begun with our usual rotation of classes. In de scelere, finally dove into the play Thyestes, which many found as entertaining as watching an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. After finally mastering the basics, we were able to hold five-minute conversations with each other about our hobbies in loquenda. Finally, oderint consisted of exploring pictures of ancient tombs.
After lunch, we had a very unique session of quaestio, where most of us worked on our Roman personas. During this time, we bonded over creating connections between our Roman personas and, while we attempted to be accurate, we may have been a little dramatic with our tales. Afterwards, the actors ran through their lines while the Memoranda team continued their work on the newspaper and slideshow. 
The Japanese Academy as well as Dr. Lindgren joined us in Brock Commons for cookies before dinner. Dr. Lindgren also passed out t-shirts to each one of us during our personal interactions with him. We also made some new friends in the Japanese
Academy!

Post cenam, we all gathered in the theater to watch the movie Iphigenia. Some wept, some grew outraged, but everyone enjoyed the film overall. We had a small discussion after the movie to explore deeper meanings. We, the Aediles, highly recommend that everyone watches this! 
Everyone is now winding down and preparing for the field trip tomorrow. We're all buzzing (get it?) with excitement!
