low-key we're so delighted by that we made iste/ista/istud pronoun pins

teaching the difference between pronoun types in latin to my students and i am forever delighted by the fact that latin has both a way to say "that guy" (ille/illa/illud) and "that fucker" (iste/ista/istud)

quick rundown of what’s been going on in my world recently

Hoo boy I’ve been busy.

I’m bombarded with homework currently cause ya girl procrastinated. I need to get my geometry grade up because I’m almost failing but I’ll be fine it’ll be gucci.

ANYWAY TIME FOR THE JUICY STUFF

from thurs.-sat. afternoon I was at a Greek and Latin convention (ILJCL to be exact). I participated in a costume contest and competitive testing. I got fourth place out of 300 students on a test about Latin phrases/mottos/quotes, and I got third place in a test in Ancient Greek derivatives. I know that all sounds kinda nerdy and it’s a mouthful but to summarize: I GUESS IM P FUCKING GOOD AT LATIN AND GREEK

On Saturday evening I went to an LP concert (for those of you who don’t know who LP is she’s an amazing indie pop singer I love her) with @a-bbykp and our other friend. It was amazing we got to hold LP’s hand and after the show we met the opening singer, Kat Cunning. She really liked the three of us and we’re now instagram mutualism which is so fucking cool??

Biggest thing:

I’m currently helping organize a protest/walkout thing at my school in response to the school shooting in florida two weeks ago. I’ve been meeting with several other students and teachers as well as the principal about how to organize this and better prepare for and prevent something like that happening at our school. It’s stressful but also rewarding. I’ve also been put in charge of designing a post card-ish thing that will be handed out at a prayer service at my school on Friday. It looks pretty good so far:

So yeah that’s been my week

Hello this is the official* blog of the Illinois Junior Classical League. If you don't know what that is, basically we're a bunch of high school students who take Latin classes (yes, a lot of us joined because we were Percy Jackson stans) and have gotten a bit too into it. Find out more at linktr.ee/iljcl

*official meaning I managed to get in after this was abandoned for a bunch of years and am now illicitly running it

apparently we booked the Westin AND the scl is giving out possibly multiple scholarships bc it's gonna be expensive?? ILJCL stays winning

[illinoisjcl-blog]
