Our next meeting is closing in fast. November 5th will be here before we know it (especially with it being election day…). Everyone NEEDS to get in their forms AND money for BOTH Fall Forum and the field trip in December to the Pompeii exhibit in Charlotte by this meeting if you’re going to either!

On the Fall Forum forms, be sure to mark if you’re doing either Silly Olympica or Mixed Certamen. You cannot do both. If you’re doing Silly Olympica, the Silly Olympica form needs to be signed by you! If you’re doing Mixed Certamen, you need to be sure you’ve marked off what level of Certamen you’d be participating in based on your current level of Latin. The cost of Fall Forum is $14 for transportation (Registration and lunch have been covered by your dues)

If you plan on going to Charlotte for the Pompeii exhibit in December, be sure that form is filled out and you have the $52 for that trip as well. This will be on December 3rd, and will be a trip to remember!!

Hopefully we’ll get Certamen practice started up sometime in the next few weeks. We’re also going to be hitting spirit HARD at our next meeting. Spirit is one of the biggest parts of Fall Forum, so we need to hit it HARD! I will see you all on November 5th!

~Your Consul

I have to say, those pumpkins are pretty beast. Wonderful job everyone with painting those!

Our next General Meeting will be October 8th, likely from 4:00 to 5:30 again. We’re going to start talking more about the upcoming Fall Fourm (it’s getting closer!!), do much more spirit in preparation, hopefully be able to plan for the theme, talk about/plan a mixer for the month, and much, much more!! You won’t want to miss it!!

Don’t forget: THE FULL $60 DUES ARE DUE BY OCTOBER 15TH! It would be much better if everyone could get in the money by the October GM so it’ll all be in a week earlier than Mrs. Murray wants it, but be sure that it’s in by the 15th at the latest!!

Officers and designated minions, we are having an Executive Board meeting at Orange High on October 1st from 4:00 to 5:30. Please plan on being there. It would be great if one of our three Tech people could update the officer’s section of the website and update the calendar with upcoming dates.

I plan on FINALLY resizing and posting our pictures from the 2008 National JCL Convention by our next GM. Keep checking the gallery from time to time to see if I’ve gotten them up yet!

Valete Omnes! Videbo vos mox!
~Consul

 In real news, our first GM is tomorrow afternoon at Cedar Ridge from 4:00 to 5:00. Do your best to be there. We have a surprise! Keep checking around the site during the year, as it WILL be updated frequently.

 Vale omnes!

So, the site hasnt really been updated since…well…February…or..perhaps March.
But the front hasn’t since February,and that is partially my fault.
So….I apologize for my bit.

However, here i am…early on a Wednesday morning(why am i up at 8???) posting here on this amazing site that we all know and love.

So….the year hath ended…
I am will be leaving my home of OCJCL and going to UNCG, joining their SCL…and it really does bring a tear to my eye.
We’ve lost Elizabeth has left us to go to NCSSM, hopefully joining their JCL so we can see her at FF, State, etc.
Leslie is going off to Campbell Univ.
Rachel and Maddie are going off to places  i dont really know of…So…yea.

But, i am very very _______(insert word  I cannot think of that sounds better than glad or proud) to be passing the Consul torch to our beloved former(maybe still? idr) Certamen Master, Sir Nicholas.  He really is the only one for the job; he was there by my side all year, as if he were Praetor……..bitter comments

We have a wonderful executive board this coming year.  I’m sure that our wonderful, yet still slacking, tech master will have things posted as soon as he gets tired of reading my spam emails.(Yes, Bill, i’m talking to you!)

 State Convention was friggin AWESOME!
We(as a whole and singular) placed in several categories.
We got 2nd in spirit both days, earning some awesome water guns and some ironic  pirate and ninja playsets.
2nd in banner….tho…well…bitter comments we’ve already heard tho first was beautiful as well.
2nd in Small? Scrapbook.. which, lemme say, that was ALOT more work than i had ever imagined! and on a side note, this coming year, OCJCL will have a bangin’ scrapbook, thanks to the ever wonderful and creative Layla, who has been placed as our(is it still ok to say things as tho i’m apart of it?) Scrapbook Historian.

So….whatelse..
uhm…Miss Nadia Nasir beasted the dramatic interpretation, earning herself 1st place.
Yours Truly earned 2nd in color pencil drawings
Alex Leith placed a few places with his artwork…tho forgive me for not remembering…:/
yea…there were a lot.
I personally think there should have been a Kareoke award, because if so,wecould have quite possibly earned ourselves first.

And then…
We had the awards Cena… that was fun. Lots of smart Latin kids haha yea, that’s not me. I just recieved things for being awesome.

Ahh….
the good times…
I will miss you all….
Sir Nicholas will have to takeover front page posting…idk if i will still have the site power i have now, once i am in college.

After the year is over,the next step for 6 OCJCL delegates and 2 sponsors/chaperones is National Convention at Miami Univ., Ohio. As one sixth of our delegation, i am extremely excited. Only one month and 2 days left! I know Sir Nicholas and Lauren are excited. Surely, there will be posts afterwards.

And once thatis over, i will be a member of SCL….. 

But still.
OCJCL is like home to me;and italways will be.

So,whether i am Consul or not, I will always be you guys’

We are here in Boone, at Magistra Peretti’s wonderful mountain house working on the scrapbook.And by “we” I mean Brittainy, Rachel A, Maddie, Cory, Layla, and Leslie(magistras as well).

Things are going good.
We’ve got color schemes, page layouts begun, an amazing flamingo stencil for page numbers.

So, hopefully all that will be left is printing and pasting pictures onto designated spots. There will be alot of scrapbook working at upcoming action meetings because we need to get this thing done ASAP! So, yea

Lots of stuff.

Tootles all

Fall Forum was amazing!!!!!

We had several of our JCLers do fabulously in their fields.
Tucker Owen scored well on his Novice team in Mixed Certamen; they got first place.
Lindsay Davis(subbing for Elena Black, haha) placed first with her team in Intermediate Mixed Certamen.
And while our wise Upper level students didnt place in the top three, I know(being one myself) that they gave their best..b/c those were some craaaazzzay questions!

We did well in Silly Olympics, though I am not certain what they placed in the other events,
I do know that we placed 1st in the chariot race!
Congrats to Leslie, Autumn, Erika, Taylor, and…uh…Phil? Possibly Megan? idk. I dont exactly remember. So sue me. But I love you all still!!

Anyways.
Congrats to all!
I am exceedingly proud to say that I am a member of OCJCL.
Of the OCJCL.

As for Spirit, we were cheated once again…
But no worries. State Con has got it coming b/c we are going to rock out with..well…you catch my drift I’m sure haha
But I heard we placed 4th in Spirt…I could be wrong.
But I think we were amazing…with our Spaceballs Helmets and Sheet Capes, and amazingly quik-fix swords of foam n duct tape.

So yea.
The mouthgasm wasnt as good as i anticipated…
But everything else was amazing!
Our beloved Dictator and former Praetor(?) Thomas and Chris were there as SCLers and it was great fun to see them both again…and to see Thomas and his beastly beard was fantastic, was it not? Haha
Now.
It is time for you’re wondermous Consul to be fleeing off to places unknown…or known, depending on who you are.
The next rendezvous shall be the Mixxer at Danielles on Tuesday, all should have/or will recieve flyers for this.
Good Night and I shall see you all Tuesday!
Much love. <3

You’re ever glittery Consul
Bee-Jaxxx

P.S.
Thomas and Alex, I want to learn the Soulja Boy!

Finally,

an official OCJCL Forum!!!!!

Kudos to our Webmaster Nathan and our Tech Historian Bill for making this possible for us!

So

Generally, just login(or register if you havent) with the same login as you have here and then start posting n such

There shall be rules n guidelines set up sometime in the future,
but for now, it is simply…free-speech type deal.

Also,
Tell your JCL brothers from other mother(schools)
I think it was decided that they would be welcome to join in on the forums n all that good stuff.

So
Start posting
Get active.
Be Happy!
And see you all Tuesday!

You’re ever-glittery Consul

It was a little disappointing because it was just the general ceremony with all its seriousness.
I’m sure I’m not the only having hoped to had gotten a bit dirty in that process.
But, regardless.
So. yea.
Generally, I’m here to say that

A) Pictures are up (the few that were taken)

and

B) Tsk Tsk to those who didnt show.
We understand that there was a Chorus concert at Orange,
Some had work they couldn’t back out of..
But…eh.
Whatever.
It was still pretty great.
We(well, I) learned the Bumblebee song..
It made me laugh hysterically…
Grandmother went to the supermarket and got some pretty crazy things
from pears to tazers to impregnated Japanese hampsters to Nachos…
it’s too bad Jesus didn’tget anything. Grandmother just doesn’t love Jesus as much.
hahhaa
Ok.

So.
The next rendezvous will be tomorrow at OHS for Certamen.
Be there if you know you’re suppose to be…
Also,
Flocking Sunday nite.
Word up.
Much love.

Except the absence of our Flocking Master.

FOR SHAME!

But regardless.
Twas fun indeed.
And I have experienced the taste of Frosty’s n French Fries…
But it does not even compare to the Mouthgasm of UNC-G.
So, we all look forward to Fall Forum…and its wonderful surprises.

So.
Next flocking shall be October 21st, check the calendar, maybe its there. idk.
Definitely dont know nothing bout that mess haha

much love.
