As the title suggests, today was pretty much a normal day. However, this is not to say it was boring; it was very fun, as always! Our morning was packed with classes. In loquenda, we spoke to each other as our Roman personas. We read about Atreus's evil plans once more in de scelere. Finally, in oderint, we discussed statue painting. After lunch, we enjoyed quaestio and a bit of free time, during which some studied Greek, some ran through their lines for the play, and others simply relaxed. Then, we all gathered for Mercatus.
Today we had a particularly interesting session: we began to make the products we will be selling out of our provinces. There was lots of sculpting, gluing, twisting wire, and painting going on during this activity. Everyone had a great time channeling their inner creativity. We can't wait to showcase each of our provinces' products! After this, we all headed to dinner. Memoranda and play practice were then held. The GLA newspaper is in its final editing phase, and will be coming out this week. We're all super pumped for it to make its debut! Play practice went well, as usual, and lo and behold!
