Today I got up and studied for greek test and then went to bible class. After bible I studied for the free period between bible and greek in the family room. I then took a nap during greek class and then we had chaple in the family room to review what we are all going to see on the next trip.

I was oringinaly going to take it in the evening before pizzan but sence the servace project for 201 was cansled I ended up tacking it earler. I did well on the test. I receved a 90% on it!! Took me a while to think of some of the words from Eng to greek but I did get most of it finlaly.
After the greek test Benet and I went to Yagoes. It was bout 4:00 in the afternoon when we headed out. After going to the store to get some suplise we hicked up the mounton for my second time. We started by Yagose and ended up hicking up the start of the rige and went on up. This proved to be more of a chalenging hick than some of the others that I have tackin up and down the mounton. We found a cave and went exploring in it today. We also had two of the doges that hang around the Artumous and folow students around town come all the way up and back down.
Today we found a very fast way down. It took us around 1and 1/2 howers to get to the top and around 15 min down. On the way down there were a lot of piles of luse rocks and so much of the way down was sliding but was still realy fun. When we arived back in town we both headed over to the gyro place next to Taz. They had joust opend when we arived and were setting up chairs. We both bought 1 and 1/2 leater of watter and dranke some whall we were wating. Then had some gyros for supper. Then it was a wock back to the Artumous.
I took a shower apong getting back and then had a few slices of pizza befor waching the second part of Masoda. After the film Adreian’s mother had sent mony for all of us to go out for ice cream for here doughters birthday.

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.

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.
