Today started off with the most important meal of the day: breakfast at Estes. Afterwards, we learned about the second declension in Greek, began a two-part discussion on religion in Hellenistic Art, and discussed epitaphs in Mores. After a fantastic lunch, we had a terrific guest speaker.
Dr. Fred Franko gave us a talk on MacBeth, which we will be seeing this week. He spoke about the plot and taught us about iambic pentameter. We really enjoyed having him here, and we're very excited to see the performance. After the lecture, we enjoyed some free time at the gym. Then, we dined. A Mercatus session followed, in which we kept working on our province's projects. They all appear to be going quite well, and everyone is very excited for the conclusion of this event. In the following play practice and Memoranda session, lots of work got done! In fact, the newspaper will be coming out tomorrow! Additionally, we began to add music to the play. Our last structured activity of the night was Greek drills. Finally, we got into our epistulae! We have not been able to receive mail since Friday, due to the holiday weekend. We were so excited to get your letters today! -Britney and Caroline
