Salvete, omnes! Today was another day of Latin classes! In Voces we translated more Sulpicia, which can be kind confusing as the word order can get kinda funky! But we enjoyed analyzing her work and comparing it with that of Sappho's! In Neuterque et Uterque, we did some more scansion (yay!) and translating more of the story of Iphis! In Appalachian Arcadia we read more of Vergil's Eclogues and listened to a few songs, which we compared to the turbulent times in which Vergil was writing. Today we had another session of Latina Loquenda, after missing it for a few days! Jackson and I (Emily) both enjoyed today's stations! We focused more on time and days of the week in this session! Next, we had memoranda (picture something like yearbook) and varietas! All projects are going very well! Our Latin scripts are in progress and we all took a look through the set materials at our disposal. Post cenam, we had another art project! This time we created Frescoes, led by RA Sophie! The process can be a little messy, but everyone had fun! We were also able to paint some of the clay things we made a few art sessions ago! Later we got to play a song guessing game, in which we guessed what songs each staff member picked! Italia ended up winning with 5/9 correct! Province Cup Rankings (sorry we forgot Hispania last time!): Britannia: 150 Achaea: 131 Germania: 117 Asia: 117 Africa: 117 Hispania: 115 Aegyptus: 110 Gallia: 106 Italia: 105 Bonum noctum, Emily and Jackson
