Well, I haven't done any of my good journaling, so you'll just have to be content with some off the cuff writing.  : )

Today we had a Greek dancing class - OPA!  It was hilarious.  It was an optional thing, costing 5 bucks, but it counts toward our hours for kinesiology and most people went.  It's just like you'd think - big circle, arms interlocking, crossover steps, and little jumps.  Then, since on Wednesday Fofi, our amazing cook, has the night out, everyone went out, mostly for gyros and crepes, which are pretty amazing.  I've got a couple of pictures up, but they're from last week's.

We have a straight week of classes now, which means everybody has tests.  They don't want to have them when we're only here a day or two, so every class is taking advantage of the long stretch.  I'm memorizing the first conjugation and the second declension of ancient Greek (the modern class is just finishing up the alphabet).  Other than that I have at least two quizzes and three major tests (out of 4 classes).  Yuck.  However, I am absolutely fascinated by everything we study, so it's not too much of a chore, most of the time.

Hey Laura- love the pics. Sounds like you are having a great time. You should call your journal "Whiplash" :). You used it in one of your posts, and it stuck in my head. Mema and Papa are here for lectureship, so we have enjoyed having them, but we miss you!
