Well since I haven't posted anything for forever and a day I thought I'd post. As a note I probably will not update this as much as I used to. The novelty is finally wearing off and I've gotten tired of updating the world about all the trivial little things I do. That said I will sum up what's been going on for the purpose of temporarily ( Read more... )

And I live in an apartment now :) So far it's as perfectly wonderful as I knew it would be, with the exception of an ant problem in my bathroom. Ant killer seems to be working pretty well though. Oh and before we moved in someone apparently stole our living room furniture, can't think why. And I won't have internet in my apartment for a few ( Read more... )

I'm back in the USA! Got back the afternoon of the 4th. I was glad to be home for that particular holiday, went next door and set off fireworks with Amanda and Brad. Fire is fun ( Read more... )

Santorini was awesome so i'll wait to up date that when I have more time. I just took my exam and I feel that I did well on it, I'll know in about an hour. I leave tomorrow for Athens where I'll stay for two nights and then Monday I fly back to the States. Not sure what time I'll be back in Orlando as yet since my parents will have to pick me up ( Read more... )

Tonight in Alyki they had a fire jumping festival. They made a bonfire and whoever wanted jumped through/over it. i jumped around the edge twice and through once. Super cool, how often do you get to jump through a fire?

We are staying at a really nice hotel in the little village of Alyki on Paros. I learning the language relatively frequently, but being constantly exposed to it and having it deliberately pounded into your head for hours ( Read more... )

For those who don't know I was taking an archaeolgy course the past three weeks while traveling Greece and I'm taking modern Greek here on Paros starting Monday. I'll warn ya'll now that I'm not sure the ( Read more... )

Pylos doesn't have an internet cafe so don't expect to hear from me again for about a week

The only other thing I will say for now is that being sick in a foreign country really sucks, try to avoid it if you can

I know I said ya'll would get updates while I was here, but I have ten minutes left to use and gosh darn it I'm gonna use every last second I paid for! I'm in Naxos now (we leave for Ahtens tomorrow and arrive in Pylos the day after (where we're excavating)). Greece is so amazing, I've seen so many sites already. Delos is my favorite so far, but ( Read more... )
