Dies Quartus Decimus - Convivium et Nugae

7/7/2024

1 Comment

 
Salvete, omnes! Happy Saturday! At Academy, we still have classes on Saturday, so it’s not quite the weekend, but we still try to have fun!

We started the day with classes, before having Otium and Latina Loquenda. The first half of our day went as usual, but dinner looked a bit different.

Instead of having our usual dinner in Estes dining hall, we had a convivium (banquet), where we had dinner and gave previews of our final Varietas presentations! Each group gave a sample performance of their theme presentations while the rest of the groups dined on food specific to their provinces. The previews were entertaining and got all of us very excited for our final Varietas performance!

After convivium, we had nugae (social hour)! Instead of karaoke like last time, we played Just Dance! Our tribunes (Mackenzie and Ginny) took song requests and we quite literally danced until we dropped (or, until it was time for us to go to our halls. This is also why the blog is up a day late - we got too tired after dancing to multiple songs straight). Our second nugae was a huge success and our tribunes are already brainstorming ideas for the next one!

GLA Out of Context​:
“History of Japan or Chappell Roan Tiny Desk?”
“I’m currently irradiating my hands”
“Aegyptus SWEPT the damp category”
“A little bit of tax fraud… a little for the soul…”

Valete, omnes!
Ciara and Philip (Your True Aediles)

Gold IRA Investments allow individuals to diversify their retirement portfolios by including physical gold or gold-related assets within an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). This strategy provides a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, offering potential growth opportunities outside traditional stocks and bonds.
