Latina est magna

[glacier_kitty]

This year's area Latin competition was sooo much more fun than last year...probably cause I actually have friends. We drove there and Emily and I looked at sights...when we got to Sherman there were these two AWESOME churches but I couldn't get a good pic of them. The school seemed kinda poor but they had A LOT of stage lights. We went to the auditorium for opening ceremonies and then took our tests. OMG mottoes was sooo hard! I hardly knew anything haha and I was sure I wouldn't win anything. Latin derviatives was better. After the tests I saw a room called the little theater and went inside and they announced Monty Python and the Holy Grail was gonna be shown in the little theater. Haha so we watched it and then had lunch and sat around for awhile. I brought the Movies in 15 Minutes book and people loved it. Then we looked at the art people made (some was really good) and then watched Anchorman...we walked in during the middle of it though. I need to see the beginning haha. Then we watched certamin (Latin jeopardy). Then we hung out some more and then it was time for the award ceremonies. I was freaking out before it started cause the stage lights were changing colors haha. I was sure I wouldn't win anything BUT I WON SECOND PLACE IN MOTTOES FOR LATIN 4!!! Wow I must be a good guesser! Now I can go to state for FREE! YAY! Then we drove home and I ate something and went to bed (it was 8:30 something haha!). And now for pics! I also took a video which I'll upload...it's funny haha



STAGE LIGHTS! Haha

Today's Latin: edepol, utinam hi parietes veteres dicere possint (boy, if these walls could talk). Yesterday's Latin: insanus omnis furere credit ceteros (every madman thinks everyone else is mad)
