Salvete! Today began as usual with our last Latin day classes of Academy, which was jarring to say the least. In the wise words of the great Princeps, it does still feel as though we just got here. In reality, though, we have grown so much since we first arrived and we've gained many new skills thanks to the careful guidance of the GLA staff. It is true that time moves differently at Academy; it seems like we've known our friends here for eons, but we've only really been here for a few weeks. In our Loquenda Class, we had an insult showdown in Latin, directed at our tables and chairs rather than each other, of course. We wrapped up Mercatus with a very insightful discussion about anthropology and identity in the ancient Roman world, in parallel to modern issues. Finally, in Ovid-22, we finished off our final story and discussed the Metamorphoses as a whole. Afterwards, we ate lunch, then felt the end of Academy truly sinking in as we recalled our time here in a GLA tradition: the feedback survey. The rest of the evening commenced with a lengthy play rehearsal, final Memoranda meetings, or an extended Otium Verum solely for packing our things away. We convened as an entire academy in the Haun Rehearsal Hall, where we will be holding our recital of Miles Gloriosus tomorrow, for a dress rehearsal / debut performance for everyone who isn't a part of the production. Signing off, and see many of you tomorrow, your aediles for almost the last time, Ananya and Mercury :D
