Monday 3-5

After a dull unit on Julius Caesar, my teacher thought he had “conquered” the students by making us wear togas to class (for a grade, no less!) to pretend we were living in Caesar’s era. Little did he know that the battle was in his own mind---in fact, I had refused to wear my toga and had, single handedly, persuaded six of my peers to do the same! As we left the class I decided to let him know who had really won the “battle”, and I whispered in his ear “veni, vidi, vici”.

Veni, vidi, vici is a Latin phrase. It means “I came, I saw, I conquered”.
