Last Day of Class!

The Hephaisteion at the Agora (one of my favorite temples)

It's a hot one today. The heat of the day (a half hour ago) was 100!

Last night Andrew came over and we chatted for a bit and then went to get a drink at Mao, our favorite place. Came back after an hour or so to go to bed for our last day of class. This morning we did the Agora again. We went upstairs in the museum to look out at the view which was only one story up but very beautiful. I liked getting that perspective.

After the Agora we did a little shopping around Monostriaki and Plaka before heading to CYA for lunch. After that we came back to our apartment, took a siesta and then attempted to go get coffee with our old Professor Nicola but she had already left for the day. We'll see her tomorrow though!

Tonight we're making the rest of the pasta we have left and then going out to a taverna for something small. Andrew's coming over after he gets off and so are the other girls after they eat dinner. We're all going out tonight for a celebration/going away night. Should be fun.

I'm starting to have mixed feelings about this whole leaving in 3 days thing. I'm going to miss these girls SO MUCH. We're already planning our reunion, the U of I game at Michigan the first weekend in November. And they'll come down to U of I for Unofficial. They're really not that far away and with all the technology now I'm not worried about it. It's just strange because we've spent so much time together.

But I'm ready to be home. I'm ready to see all of you and my friends. I'm ready for ice water and toliet seats. I'm ready for mornings to sleep in and showers that actually make me feel clean. I'm not ready for missing my new friends or being so far from the ocean. I'm not ready for no Greek salads or gyros. I guess it's just a point in my life that I'll have to take.
