HAPPY Independence DAY!!

This morning I slep in for the first time in a long time. I got up a little after 11:00 am. I then went down sairs after getting ready and got some songs picked out for our devotinal. After this I ened up wiring together two wiers so that we could hook together an I-pod to the staireo system in the family room to play the national anthum.

Folwoing the devo and singing we gatherd around and sang the national athum. Then the feast begun. We had a TON of food. Hambergers, hotdogs, Soseges, chicken, and watter melon and all the other fixings. Some of the gurils had a watter melon sead spiting contest and then we all piled in the swiming pool and played some basket ball and then voly ball. During this time some others were doing some diving off the bord.

After swimming we wached the Patrot in the family room and then had some ice creem. Then there was a basket ball terniment between the faclty and some of the students. We are having a ternument and that was one of the first games. There then were two more games a little later in the evening. Some of the staff then went and wached a movy in an out dore theator and the rest of us worked on differnt things. I am doing some ceaching up on some works like jernling and other things. I am going to also do some more planing for free travel. It is comming up on us quickly!

Today I had a full day of classes. I got up joust a few hoers after getting inlate at the bright and early time of 7:30. I went to my OS, Networking, 270, and then took my 201 test at 12:00. After my 201 test I got ready and went in to Athens. After about 15 min the bus arived and we headed into town. The sky was all pich black as we went in. When we arived to the sub way the seats and the flour were all wet from the poring rain. Later when we got into the Aplacka area in Athens we went to the Jurlery store to stay out the storm. When we had gotten off the subway the sky tordes the south was all pic black. Later when we were in the joulery store the street turned into a river and the watter was picking up chairs and tables. It was probly around 2 ft. high. When it got down the street a little more it ran up against some of the buildings and looked like rapids. After about fifteen minouts it all settled down and david and I headed out to get some gyros at the shop down there. After that we headed up to Star Bucks to relax and have a dirink. A little latter the walcked over to church.

Folowing church tonight I came back with the group on the charter bus and I had a meating with our group regarding our music through the ages presentation for 270. We will be giving this on the 27 of this month. I then spent the rest of the night working throu the details of free travle. Then I headed to bed for the night. Tomaro I can sleep in. We are going to be seleberationg the 4th of July (our Independence of the USA)!

This morning I got up early and reviewd my notes for the test. I then headed off to Bible and then took my OS exam. I think it went farly well. Afte that it was off to greek class. Today we had split chaple and were able to have first chaple out side under the new building in the back yard of the Artumous off to the left side where there use to be a bar. It is looking realy good and is almost foly restored including the watter fall in the background.

After lunch I spent some time getting cought up on my studies and preparing for my test tomaor in 201. Tonight I am going to Athans to see the play Fitler on the Roof. We will see this in the theator right below the Acropolous. I am realy looking forward to this to night.

We took the schools van and a car and all piled in and headed to the suberban line to head into athens. When I got on the subway I decided to have a little fun and not hold on to athing. I ended up riding there and back with out holding any railing. It was a neet chalange and gave me something to do as we comuted.

When we arived at the theator it was all ready realy starting to fill up. There ended up being around 5,000 people probaly. There was a wonderful sunset and the clouds were gorgous. Also the stars were joust wonderful in the seneray of the out dore theator. All the seets were full and the ials had people along with people sitting up on the rocks srounding the theator. The show was all in greek but it was wonderfuly preformed. All the voices and dance moves were down persisley.

Folowing the consort it took us a while to get out. Once we got out we all rushed to the subway to take it to the suberban line. Apone arival we took it to the end of the line an they turned out the lights and we headed up stairs in the terminal. We looked to see if we could fined out if the suberban line was till going. One of the workers that was closing up the terminal tolde us that we had to leave and he did not know anthing about what was going on with the suberban rail line. We found out that it was closed for the night untill 4:30 am. It was now about 1:00 am. I continued to do some studing for test tomaro. I did some singing out on the street as we wated for a taxie to come. Finily one came by and Mr. MyHam and Dr. Baber went back to get the van and car to pick the rest of us up. It took about 20 min to get to the cars and then about the same to pick us back up. We then rushed back to campous and got back around 2:00 am. I then went and got something to dirnk befor heading up stairs and to bed. It was realy a wonderful night of theator and fun riding the subway and the fun excurtion of missing the train. Defently a mimberal experence.

This morning I woke up bright and early on the ship. After getting all the rest of my things packedup and getting ready for the day I headed out of the room to the main gathering spot where we depared the ship from. Once our hole group had arived we departed from the Agean I ship. We all folowed Deno off and acrosed the port to clame our lugage in the terminal. We were now back in Athens where we had started on monday. Once we all got our bages we started our walk out to the bus. One he ride back to Port Arafie we drove by many of the Olimpic vinues that were located along the sea. We also saw the old air port that use to be in side the city. I then layed down and took a nap on the way back.

Once we arived back at the Artumus I went up stairs and opend the lab. Then I got cought up on emails and bissness. I then did some studing for my test in operating systems befor we had our afternoo classes. After chaple and lunch we started our 8:00 classes at 1:00 and then proceeded throu our day.
