Well, we went out last night and had great fun what can I say, though, I was wearing my new sandals (Yes I had oiled them up earlier in the day) but I was still breaking them in, so maybe not the best choice but still a fun time. I don't think I'll be bringing them to Andros.
I would like to say I'm getting in to the swing of things, but I still feel like I'm not doing as much as I can. I still want to go back to Zeus's temple and up to the highest hill. Maybe next week. My easy course of Art and Archeology is being called Greek Life and Society for graduate students. We have to read Iliad, Odyssey, Antigone, Poetics, Zorba the Greek and write three 6 page papers. I think its too much to ask for a 5 week course. I think I'll have to skip it on the 4th of July week so I can get a 6 day weekend and do something super fun. I thnk we have to read those books because the 2 grad students added it, so I feel really guilty about that. This was supposed to be an easy (I don't mean that in a bad way) course. I thought we would be touring the city and museums and landmarks to see art and archeology related stuff like classes did in the past, but no. Yes I know I'm complaining, but I just needed to say it.
As for today. Super lazy. I think I'm finally getting the feel of gyros. But I can't say I've done much today. Maybe I'll put up some pics in a minute and then pack. Viele pictures when I get back for Andros: Days 08, 09, & 10

Hey Matt! We're enjoying your updates, so keep us posted. Don't get too lazy, as you want to make the most of your experience there. Plus it sounds like you have plenty to do and you're gonna really earn those six credits! Have a great weekend!
I'm glad to see you made it there in fine shape. It looks like you will be able to give Terry & Kim a great tour when they come over. Don't forget why you went over there, to study, I think, or was it to party. Look forward to seeing all thoes pictures. Love you.
