Sunny Days & Slide Tests

Today was a really pretty day. We have a slide test tonight (where she puts slides of statues on the board and we have to name them..there's so many!) A few of us walked down and studied at a seaside cafe. I was there for 2 hours without really realizing it because it was such a beautiful setting. The only complaint I have is the dumb dogs in this town. I had a black one on my feet under the table and probably 8 more that circled the table-- some even occasionally started to fight each other. I don't understand why people are not complaining to their local government about this canine chaos. They are constantly dodging them on the major streets and honking at them day and night. (We solved the mystery of the excessive honking..two problems that stem from the mutts.)

I am kind of nervous about our first test. I want to have a great time here and enjoy everything, but the overachiever in me still wants to get an A. Straight A's this semester would just make the Parthenon a little more grand, the statues more radiant and have my parents asking, "How was your trip?" instead of "What was with the C in Humanities?" All the statues start to look the same after a while to me. I mean, there's only so much difference between 2 naked, muscular pieces of stone. They are impressive, don't get me wrong, but they resemble each other.

Last night, Lauren, Lacey, Alana and I tried to come up with silly ways to remember each one. Some of them will work-- Athena Nike is reaching down to touch her sandal-- Nike is a shoe-- Shoe/sandal. See? Clever, huh? Haha. We had a lot of fun last night together. I love these girls. And I also found out that I have been blessed with the talent of imitating George W. Bush last night. They thought it was hilarious and videotaped me. Oh goodness.

Supper is almost here so I better let you go! Love you guys! Keep reading..and comment occasionally so I'll know you're still out there!
