wow these past 10 days have been probably one of the most amazing 10 days and i feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to go half way around the world at only the age of 17.
Saturday:
we get to school after my mom bought me a dounkin doughnuts bagel. it was soooo good and the last piece of american food that i would have in a long time so i savored it. then we got on the bus. i already forgot to check in with my chaperon so they had to go looking for me. this was the first of many times. then i realized i forgot to say goodbye to parents so i called them on my cell and told them goodbye. finally we were off on a 3 hour bus ride where we played games like the alaphabet game. it made the time go by really fast. then at JFK andy and lizzy and i got food. extremely overpriced but so good. then i bought an ice cream and andy bought porn. on the plane we watched the in flight movie in her shoes. it was good but never again. i tried to sleep in differnt positions to get comfortable but i only got a about 2 hours of sleep. also there were special ed kids singing kids in america out of key all night long. just my luck. fred was laughing at me all night cause he never saw anyone sleep like in a pretzel. yeah im talented like that. our flight ended at 2am but it was really like 10 in greece. crazy timezones.
Sunday:
we started our day in athens right away. we go on the subway and went to a big park. from there theyre like okay get with friends and go. i was like wow lots of freedom this is sweet. i went with whitney and jax. although the waiter totally ripped us off cause we couldnt figure out how to work the euros, the food at the restaraunt was so good. especally the ice cream. we were so tired we were falling asleep in our food. later we get back to our hotel, we had a good dinner and then we were given free time. even though it was 10 at night and i hadent slept for over 24 hours whit jax and i walked around athens to this little kiosk. theres one on every corner and its like a mini target. i bought some more ice cream. ice cream in greece is the best ice cream in the world. then when we got back to the hotel one of the teachers was like yeah theres a gorgeous view of athens from the roof so jax and whit and i get on the elavator and take it to floor 7, the highest floor. we get there and there isnt even rooms on that floor. its just empty with random stairs on each side. i hed up one of the stairs to see if anythings at the top. there wasnt so i went back down. i tripped a little at the bottom and jax and whit laughed. i went up the other flight of stairs with my camera in one hand and a bag of jelly beans in the other. at the top i fall and go crashing dowm to the bottom and slam into the elavator door. i oviously did not learn my lesson. my camera had a huge crack in it. we were laughing so hard i was crying. then the first thing anyones says was not omg mandy r u okay it but whit was like omg did the jelly beans spill? that made us all laugh harder and i was seriously so close to peeing my pants. so we get back on the elavator hoping to find the roof but all there was was this symbol. we didnt know what it ment so we figured it was like a greek symbol for roof or something so we pressed the button to see what it would do. it was def not the roof button. ooops. it was the alarm button and it went off and then all the lights started flashing. we pressed every button just to get off as fast as we could. we get off on some random floor and just meet up with these greek guys. we were all like hey. then the elavator came back down and we got on to get to our floor. when we get off at our floor we see that the guys had taken the stairs and followed us! we quickly ran into our room as they were chasing us. a second after we get in we hear a knock. they were like girls open up. and we were like no. they kept knocking and kissing the door. so creepy. they wouldnt go away. then we didnt heat anything. then the phone rang. they called us and told us to open up. we were like omg they are freaky. so then they come back and tell us that there was 3 of us and 6 of them so it would work out if we wanted to have a 3 some. we were all like omg so scared. so we called a chaperon but by the time they got there they were gone. they never bothered us again but we were scared to go to sleep. it seems like all greeks guys want is to get in your pants. so we all couldnt sleep even though we were so tired from the jet lag and we knew we had a 545 wake up call the next but we stayed up past midnight telling stories of stupid things weve done when we were drunk. i just remember falling asleep laughing during one of whitneys stories. (to be continued) its educational i swear
