Today we had one of our final Bible tests befor the final. Everthing went smothly with it. I did farly well on all the dates that we had to have mimorised for the test. Flolowing the Test I studied up untill half way through Greek class when the class had compleated there quiz. Then we had the rest of the class and then went out side for chaple under the new shelter. Today we found out about the bomings in the subway and bus in England in chaple. We had a prayr for thoes involved and latter in the day we got word that all the students at HU’s capous there are all right.
Folowing chaple we had lunch and I then studied more for my Greek quiz. This quiz ended up not going as well as the ones in the pased. Today we were congjegating words and interperatating written Greek sentices into English ones. Word for Word translation. After the quiz I spent the rest of the day doing home work and studing.
This evening we had a mimber from church who is a penoust come and played for us. He brought a Irish tennor who lives here with him and they did about 45 min informal consort for us at our campous. They did a wonderful job and was nice break from the studies to relax and here the music. Folowing I tocked with both of them and the solist and I tocked about some of the pices that he has done and that I have also done such as the "Kery Dance".
Folowing the consort I did some more work on home work and then did some finilising on train reservations to turn into Aristotal Travel for them to get reservations for us.

In the morning was classes today. I compleated my TicTacToe game for the computer in networking and joust have a little more testing to do on it. We also had our loyer for HUG come and speak to us in 201 class. His presentation was very inriching and helped in gaining a better grasp on the Greek colture.
For chaple today we had it out under the new shelter up on the little bit of a hill or rise on the left side of the Artumus. The watter fall was on today for the first time and it was very smoothing. Folowing lunch we scarfed down food so that we would all be ready to head out to the Athens musum for the afternoon.
The museum was well done. It was neet to see many of the things that we have tocked about all sumester and to get to see the real thing. Many of the places we have went have had duplicets but not the originals. We did not have our head sets at the begenning dew to not having the micriphon pack but we soon got that after we arived. Also the sister of our guide Caterena is having the familys first child for this generation. So, that was on of the hilights of her day. Deno also has a new grand sone today.
Folowing the museum we headed over to the hight point in athens and we took a cable car up in a tunal to the top where we could see the hole city and the Acropolus. It was a little hasy so could not see real clearly but it was none the les a wonderful view.
For dinner tonight the majority of us went to Hard Rock cafay in Athens. It was very good. I had a baken berger and a hotfuge sunday. On the way home I study for test tomaro and I am about to study the rest of the night befor going to bed.
