@illinoisjcl-blog
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
i might never play certamen again. that's a depressing thought
Official shout-out to Nicolette! I'm sure Miller's gonna be great but she's the best histo ever tbh
Ancient Roman woman to simp for
Agrippina the Younger
Clodia Metelli
Fulvia
Messelina
Empress Theodora
Other (name in tags)
Will you ever announce who you are?
I think the people who wanted to know already do tbh
Everyone is like "why are you saying you're happy convention is over didn't you have a good time??" Which is a fair question, and I legitimately had an excellent time. Unfortunately, 1) I am vain and 2) I get stress acne, so that's the basis that I'm excited that I am not doing extensive testing and being late to stuff and keeping my delegation from imploding
Post Convention Review
Events: seem good! I'd definitely swap testing out for something like nap time but colloquia are fun and Certamen is always good. TE was ready good also
Hotel: Sooo much better than nats. No prison pillows!? The food is mid but we knew it would be, the lattes are way overpriced but it's caffeine.
Board Reviews:
Riona: I mean she's was up there banging that gavel and running back and forth answering qs, so doing what a prez should ig. The end of GA 4 was a mess and I wanted to go home but otherwise 10/10
Vivi: There wasn't that much insta leadup to convention but to be fair most of communication is thru sponsors anyway. Honestly I don't think that there's many things she needs to be doing rn, and there's two Stevenson people running for board (altho both for prez which is weird af) so clearly she's a good role model. 10/10
Leith: The new (ok not officially elected but it's unopposed so) 2VP's speech was basically criticizing most of how he runs things. Which yeah is a bit disorganized but not that bad. There's been an excellent selection of spirit prizes tho. Service seemed to go well too and there was a great Toxic dance. 10/10
Mikaela: The minutes reading was short and sweet and generally Mikaela's really nice and helpful. 10/10
Eshan: I'm a big fan of the amendments this year, elections seemed to run smoothly. tbh I think he's the best parli we're gonna have in a while 10/10
Nicolette: took some photos, that's her job. Encouraged everyone to dance and was generally cool 10/10
Love listening to some adults talk about how they want to stop doing con at the Westin. We did that last year it sucked
i really hope the westin still has a little starbucks. iirc it was badly overpriced but also fancy coffee drinks kinda make the convention experience, yk?
speaking of overpriced things, somebody needs to talk me out of buying an scl tshirt

JCL competition returns
It’s been good to see colleagues again for all of the Junior Classical League (JCL) regional competitions underway. Bonam fortunam, discipuli!
i always enjoy convention once i get there but beforehand all i can think of is how little sleep i will get. also people r saying on discord the board is going to try and kill all fun? gl to them
every day being Endymion sounds better to me
I log on here, make a zero note post, and then log off. You wish you were me
apparently we booked the Westin AND the scl is giving out possibly multiple scholarships bc it's gonna be expensive?? ILJCL stays winning
i really hope we get the headcount to book the Westin ngl
