Well now it's getting hot! It got up to 95 today and is supposed to stay that way the whole week...
Yesterday my roommate Kelly's parents got into Athens, they're staying here and then traveling around, and we got invited to swim at their hotel pool! It was so beautiful! The pool was on the roof and had a perfect view of the Acropolis, very cool. It was so different getting a "tourist" perspective of Athens. Since I've been living here about a month and never seen the inside of a hotel it was weird to me. it really felt like Athens was my home. Very odd feeling...
This morning we headed to the Acropolis and our teacher told us we would be letting out early today because of the heat. It was so hot already by 9:30 especially in the sun. She said we're having a heat wave and this weather shouldn't be happening for another month, great. She said that and the two days of rain we had could be because of the volcano, interesting! We were supposed to be reading the Lysistrata in the Theatre of Dionysus which is going to be so so cool! But she said we would probably all get heat stroke. So we're doing it tomorrow at 6:00 pm and then all heading to dinner to thank her for everything! It should be a great day.
We were out by 11, did some walking around, had lunch and were home by 130. It was so hot we just stayed inside today and hung out. We did some grocery shopping and talked to two of our roommates who just got back from Cyprus visiting Dora's family.
I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to go to Istanbul and Cairo after my program. I'd be in each city three days, flying home on the 24th. I am having trouble deciding. I'm considering money, safety, if I'd want to be away from home so long. I would love to see those places but money is probably my biggest worry. I don't plan on getting a job until my Executive Board position is over for Pi Phi in the Spring so money will be tight. Prayers would be great. Also if you have any advice or thoughts those are welcome!
