Salvete! After the excitement of yesterday, we were very glad to have today as a day for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Today marked another day of Latin, in which we pretended to go to the marketplace in our Loquenda (spoken Latin) classes. We will eventually convene in a full immersion marketplace simulation bustling with all that we had to learn here at Academy. In the afternoon, after a little more practice with Latin Drills, our very own Memoranda team was hard at work beginning to assemble slideshows, videos, and other presentations to preserve our memories at GLA. Memoranda is responsible for creating a farewell video as well as a personal CD for each and every one of the discipuli. Play rehearsals began today as well, with a whole-cast table read in both English and Latin (we definitely got the gods' approval as they thunderously interrupted our rehearsal). Our day was finished with an emotional note as we gathered in the Brock Theater for a MOVIE NIGHT!!! The movie Iphigenia was a depiction of the beginning of the Trojan War which details the tragedy of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra's eldest daughter and namesake of the movie. A few hours in the theater left everyone in a state of mixed catharsis and a longing for continuation (as well as a general consensus that Agamemnon did everything wrong). We were glad to recieve letters from friends and family at epistulae, and excited to start another day at Academy tomorrow. Signing off for now, your aediles, Ananya and Mercury :)
