Free Time in Athens

This is the roommates minus Anita at Mao. From the left: Justine, Andrew, Sam, myself, and Katie.

Hello! Didn't write yesterday because there wasn't too much going on. When we got back Friday we just hung out and made dinner. Andrew came over when he got off and I fixed him something to eat while the other girls continued getting ready to go out. All of the sudden, the power went out. We flipped the fuse box switch and still nothing happened. So we called the emergency number and they called Poppy, the housing person at CYA. It was getting dark so we were getting a little anxious. Poppy couldn't find any electrician because it was Friday night (and Greece) so she came herself to help! She got directions from the owner of the building and fixed it. We were very thankful.

We had invited some other people from our class over for a cocktail hour before going out so they came a little after our power was back on. Ann Marie, Kate, Nancy, Jill, Salah (only other boy), Alexis, Dominique, and Alexis. It was really fun! We headed to Mao after about an hour and a half and were dancing there for another two hours. Justine, Andrew, and I were pretty tired so we decided to head back while the other girls went to another club.

We got to sleep in, it was so great! When we woke up we just decided to stay and bed all day. And we didn't feel guilty about it! We left for food a couple of times but just stayed and talked and watched tv or movies on our computers. It was so nice to have a break from class.

This morning we had a lecture from 9-11:30 and then we got lunch at the bakery. It's Sunday so nothing else is really open anyways. We came back, ate, I worked a bit on our paper, and napped for a while. We have to go to the Acropolis Museum at 4 for another bit of class. More tomorrow!
