Ecce Romani

Sorry, this is totally unrelated to space! But I wanted to post something on this.

For those who have never heard of Ecce Romani, it is a Latin textbook for beginning students which teaches the language chapter by chapter with a story taking place in Ancient Rome. I wish my math textbook was like that! It'd make math a LOT more interesting. Of course, I would probably end up thinking it was cheesy if I did have a textbook like that...

Anyway, a girl at my school is totally obsessed with her Ecce Romani book and all things Roman, and went so far as to write a play about the characters in Ecce Romani. It was performed last weekend, and I was in it! I had two minor roles, a slave and a robber. Being a robber was pretty fun, but hard for me since I tend to be a non-violent person. :) One of my best friends got a main role as Aurelia. She was awesome! "Davus, where is that lazy slave-girl Syra? (Ook, that's me!) She neglected to clean 1 square inch of this hallway! Now I'm going to go scold her." She got the best part. :)

We rocked the house at our first performance, but during the second, one of the actors (Uncle Titus) messed up his lines. Backstage we were freaking out, but the audience thought nothing of it. He's a great actor though.

I'm sad it's over. Now my life is a lot less busy...who knew that could be a bad thing?
