Yesterday was the last day of school for me – getting exams back, then listening to Senior Study Project presentations, and finally the Honors Convocation, or in other words awards assembly.

It was a wonderful day for me. First, I got a 100 on my Latin final, which shocked me – I had gotten fere mixed up with forte, but Dr. Jones accepted my translation of it, and I thought I had gotten some other stuff wrong... (I got an 89 on English, which was better than I had hoped... and an 88 that became an A with the curve on Algebra. Eh. Those were my two lowest.) I also finally learned that I got a gold medal in the National Latin Exam... Then, in the honors convocation, I was given the Latin prize! There are a bunch of academic recognitions (followed by miscellaneous awards), and... I got the Latin one! *boing*

I also spent most of the day with Katie, Sam, and also Juhi, two juniors and a senior respectively. Which is usually not possible because I'm a sophomore. They're always fun. Katie got one of the awards (she also got the Latin prize last year), and in the presentation speech Dr. Jones described her as "She cuts through nonsense like a bazooka through a Teletubby." Which is hilarious.

Penultimately, I acquired BL7 today. My reaction to it can be summed up as "... Woah."

And finally, I love Idris's set almost as much as I love Hahli in general. I wish she were sold by herself.
