Took the National Latin Exam today... For some reason we took the Prose exam, even though we were supposed to take Poetry. Odd.

It was pretty easy, in general, though there were I think four questions that I really didn't know the answers to. Three of them I narrowed down by process of elimination, and one I took a wild guess at, and by checking afterward I found out I had gotten at least three of them right. (Including the one about Augustus's second wife, which was the wild guess. Though it was obviously not Lucretia.) We'll find out how I did on the rest...

It was fun...

Yesterday was also Pi Day, and we got to eat two types of pie (which means we ate 4(pi) radians!) in Advanced Algebra while Mr. Fujita explained about Euclid and Archimedes and Eudoxus, and how they calculated the value of pi and proved that the circumference of a circle was indeed 2(pi)r. Then a few other civilizations' estimations of pi.

Henry: "Archimedes must have had no life."

Katelin: "No, he was a flaming nerd!"

I am also in love with Creeping in my Soul. Except for the rap part, since I don't like rap. But otherwise it's really cool.
