The very last blog...
Anyway, this will instead be a thank you. Really quickly though the vanilla ice cream was down again, early risers are unknown, we danced, feasted, and gave Shakespeare-worthy speeches. 

Now, thank you parents for allowing and encouraging us to come to RMC. We have learnt so much! To the GLA staff, we appreciate you for teaching us, respecting us, and most importantly growing our skills in MANY aspects of of our lives. All the cooks at Estes, thank you for providing foods that were not only tasty and constantly changing, but also accommodating to our needs! All those who helped clean Andrews, Estes, Haley, and Birdsong: What would we do without you! You're all amazing. This is an experience we'll never forget. We've made lifelong friends, all thanks to y'all. 

With our respect, 
GLA students of 2023

It has been an honor writing this blog this year! This has allowed me to talk to so many people and learn more and more about their experiences @ RMC. Here is my own note of gratitude to all my friends, family, and GLA staff who allowed me to be myself.  Being aedile is amazing. To our next pair: enjoy this academy. Time here is SO WEIRD. 
Go Hispania!!
-Jazz
Now for my dear Aedile and friend, Noah

Omnes, as you read through this blog, whether top down or bottom up, I hope that Jazz and I were able to bottle up little sparks of our time at academy. While nothing in writing or on the screen will compare to our three weeks, our purpose in writing this blog was to memorialize its essence, so that if you are ever down or nostalgic, you can scroll through your jokes, pictures, and quotes and remember what a life-changing experience we shared. I am eternally thankful to have been one of your aediles. For the next class of GLA students, especially the aediles, know this: at the end of your three weeks, what will matter to you won't be the minutes of each day, but the small bits in between: the jokes, the smiles, the hugs. Don't let them slip away.
-No longer your Aedile, 
Noah

Iocum diei (joke of the day):
"I'm not a funny person; I don't tell jokes"
Today's joke submitted by Princeps.
