O Fortuna

Notes and Miscelleny:

Green Pen. I made myself a note to mention that my favorite CTY professor always used a green pen to mark up my writing pieces. And she said its because people find it easier than a red pen, which looks like MISTAKE, whereas a green pen looks like a helpful suggestion.

O Fortuna. "Fortuna" is one of our Latin vocabulary words. Which for me is enough of an excuse to enjoy one of my favorite videos with my kids.
