Today was another Latin day and represented an exciting, yet also sad, coming to the end of academy. We translated our last passages in Occidat Dum Imperet with one final class remaining (which will be dedicated to the presentation of creative takes on Agrippina the Younger including but not limited to dances, songs, poems, and skits) on Friday. We also had our second to last spoken Latin class and Circumlitio, both were also very exciting yet bittersweet. After lunch we continued working on our projects with theater kids polishing their performances, set adding the finishing touches, and Nuntia/Memoranda writing and editing the last pieces. We were also able to watch O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a creative and funny take on Odysseus's journey in the Odyssey. We all had a good time laughing at the misadventures of the three main characters while also connecting certain plot points to those of the Odyssey. Everyone is looking forward to Mercatus Traiani tomorrow, as we will finally be able to sell all of the goods we have been working on over the past few weeks!
