New Home!

This is a picture of us Friday night: myself, Dora, Heather, and Bette.

Well it was very sad saying goodbye to everyone! I was the last to leave Lyssipou 4 yesterday and it was very lonely. I made the usual 5 minute walk to my new place alone with my two suitcases and two purses alone in the heat...it was terrible. It took at least 15 minutes and my forearms were numb by the time I was done. But the new place is cute, I'll try and take pictures tonight!

My new roommate Justine, her old roommate Kate, and their friend who has an internship here Andrew and I all just hung out and talked for a couple of hours before dinner. We waited for the two Sams to get back from Cyprus before we went out to eat. Where we ended up eating was so cute! The man was very nice and spoke good English and gave us the "College Special" for 10 euros. It was so delicious and there was so much food! We had tzatziki, spring rolls, saganaki, meatballs and french fries, lamb, fried zuchinni balls, and melon. We were so full!

Then we just hung out before going to bed. Two of the girls, Sam and Kate from my last class had to leave here at 5am to catch their ferry to Paros where their next class is. So now we're all settled in here! It is Justine, Samantha, and Katie who go to Michigan, Anita who goes to UPenn and myself. I'm sharing a room with Katie and my bed is better this time and doesn't squeak!

This morning we slept in and went over to CYA to do laundry and get our new packets. Tonight at 5:30 we have orientation and we already have lecture at 6:30...I'm worried about that. We leave for Crete tomorrow for 5 days and then Santorini for 2, I'm so excited, they're both supposed to be beautiful. Unfortunately we're taking the overnight ferry to Crete so that should be interesting.

Have to go get ready, talk later!
