First Day of New Class

Here's a picture of my whole class last session in Delphi. This is the picture we printed on the card we gave to Nicola, our teacher.

Well yesterday at orientation we met a bunch of the girls in our class and most of the ones we met I really like. Registration was the same as last time but we met our teacher this time. He's interesting I can't really get a read on him. I know that he lives in Greece at least part of the year, has a son name Alexi but is no longer married or never was, he's from Indiana, and I don't think he's fluent in Greek. He seems sort of hardcore.

Our schedule is much more packed than last session which I'm worried about but I don't think the start times are as early which is good. He's strict on being on time, has told us not to dress like "trashy tourists", yelled at people for eating bakery items in class, and we have to do three papers. One is due the last day and the other two are due 45 days after we return home. I don't really understand that concept at all. He's funny but our three hour lecture this morning was pretty boring.

After orientation we went home and cooked some pasta for dinner before one girl from our new class, Lindsey from Princeton came over. Andrew, the boy who's working here this summer also came. It was really fun! We just hung out at our apartment and got to know each other. We attempted to go to our favorite bar but it was closed for the first time since we've been here haha.

This morning we had a 2 and a half hour lecture with a 20 minute break just about historical background. I was pretty bored and tired so it wasn't pleasant. Then we had lunch and went to Syntagma sqaure to pick up our ferry tickets from Crete to Santornini. We leave tonight at 7pm for the ferry ride to Crete which is over night. We stay there until Sunday night and then we're in Santorini until Tuesday night. I'm bringing my computer so I will still be in contact! I'm very excited but a little nervous about sleeping on the ferry, I'm hoping I'll be real tired so I can fall asleep right away. More tomorrow!
