I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was filled with family, failed puns, and fantastic food. I've been using this break as a time to catch up on all the reading I'd been missing out on during the school year, as well as to hang out with my family. My brother had his birthday on Wednesday, and it was really fun laughing at his now thirteen-year-old level jokes. Before that, however, I was having quite a fun week of school!
Last week CMS was busy preparing for the Thanksgiving Service we did on Tuesday, where girls offered prayers in a huge variety of languages. It's an amazing experience that overall leaves the school feeling more unified than ever before. In order to prepare for this awesome service, CMS took their time to distribute little paper leaves to classes for students to write what they are thankful for. Then, we collected them again and pasted them onto trees that adorned the service and then lived in the hallway after school. Here they are!
Another thing that I've been up to this past week was the Latin Forum at Reed that happened this weekend. It's a super cool place where Latin students from as far as Seattle come to Reed and participate in panels with experts on a wide array of subjects. This year, I was able to go to a talk about Stoicism, which was very interesting! It prompted a lot of discussions about happy mediums in one's belief systems. It was a happy but bittersweet experience because it would be my last chance to go with my fellow Latin Four students from SMA. Definitely a fun day filled with bonding over what defines a Roman citizen!
Now that break is moving towards its end, I look forward to the wide stretch before Christmas Break!
See you next time,
