This will probably be my last post for a week or so. I know most of you have probably broken into tears at this point, but please let me stop you. Think of all the funny, humorous things I will recount when I get back. And it will be loaded into one, big, super-long, super-informative entry. I mean, it wouldn't be a week in Egypt without something interesting happening, right? I hope that the humor that is involved in my life has nothing to do with food illness or the fact that my faucet is running at both ends. Though funny in a gross, 12-year old brother kind of way, I am in no way ready for that kind of fun in my life at this point.
You may be wondering why I have titled my entry, "Saturday Night Fever." It is something I am quite psyched about. The powers to be here have met and discussed and have reached a verdict. The deliberation was long, but it has been decided that we will be allowed to participate in Disco Night on the cruise. You heard that right-- for one night only, the Church of Christ kids have been set free to feel the beat. We have strict rules on what proper dancing is (luckily it has more to do with not being dirty than proper method..because the Chicken Dance is about the extent of my ability..and that's pushing it.) When Mr. Myhan announced this, everyone was momentarily shocked. Small steps have turned into giant leaps for this university. We go from having Spring Sing seductive try-outs (the most seductive dancers in the back..the alabaster white girls in front..) to permission to be John Travolta for a night. You better believe I am going to be stayin' alive and burn baby burnin'!!
I just got back from the supermarket where I bought snacks for the trip. One word: NUTELLA. It's like peanut butter times 100 because it is chocolate spread. We have it at "tea time" here and I pretty much have fallen in love with the stuff. I heard they have it in the states, but I haven't run across it. But then again-- I wasn't really looking. Now-- it is above milk, bread and water for me when I hit the Wal-Mart.
I am just going to throw this in randomly: I GET TO RIDE A CAMEL! The pyramids are pretty amazing, but what can compare with riding a camel? Haha. We are leaving tomorrow at 11 a.m. our time-- I am so pumped for this adventure! I have a slide test tonight and though I dread them, it makes me look forward to seeing those structures and I actually recognize them when they stand before me. Just pray for our safety and health! Updates to come and lots of pictures..
P.S. I made a 92 on my first official Humanities test..yes!

Sundays are the Best Days
Today was our second Sunday to go to Athens for the afternoon and shop-- and then head to church at night. The group of people I went with left at about noon. The transportation process here is a lot different than that of Paragould, Arkansas. When I leave to go somewhere in my hometown, all it takes is a hop into the 'ol Camry and I'm at my destination within minutes. Here, it's a long process. We wait for the bus, get dropped off at one spot, wait for another bus, then run and get on the metro. We stay on the metro for quite a while and then head off onto the busy streets of Athens. It's new and adventurous, but I don't think I would like it as a permanent part of my day for the rest of my life.
I spent quite a bit of money today, but I think they were good purchases. I bought a wrinkle-free skirt for our trip to Egypt-- we needed one to just wad up and go. It is really long so it will also work for our trip to Israel later on. We have a "Captain's Night" on the cruise ship where we dress up some, so I bought a pretty turquoise dress for that occasion. It was only 20 euro, and the lady said I looked like a Greek goddess, so what can I say?! I know that it was probably a sales strategy, but flattering nonetheless. Haha. I am looking forward to being fancy-- like I said, I feel like a bohemian poor college student most of the time when I'm walking around. On the Nile cruise, we get to buy Egyptian outfits for one of the nights and I am also looking forward to that. As my family knows, dressing up has been one of my favorite things since childhood. :-)
Lacey, Lauren, Alana and I ate at Hard Rock Cafe Athens, which is like the U.S. Embassy of Food. You walk in and immediately feel like you're on home soil. It was quite pricey, but worth the American taste. It was nice to look at a menu and know what it is-- and not be afraid. A man at the table next to us passed out and scared me to death. I looked to see if he was okay, and he started convulsing slightly and puking. I started to gag a little so I left the rest to the paramedics.
Sundays are supposed to be 'left over' night, but we ate most of our food this week, which left us to go get gyros across the street. Many of the guys know the storeowner by name and visit her quite often. Some of the guys here get like 4 gyros a day!
We have a slide test tomorrow on Egypt and a Greek quiz so I better get to studying..:-( I am getting better at reading signs and knowing what I'm looking for because of the few Greek words and letters I know. We're studying dipthongs now, which is when you put two of their letters together and it makes a completely different sound. It makes things so much harder. I love you all!

Update: I Found Demetri
Now, don't get too excited when you read the title of this entry. To those who are reading and don't know about Demetri, he is the fictional Greek boy that my grandfather made up to give me a hard time. As we all know (which now is caused by my name's meaning), dating is not really my strongpoint. My family has high hopes that I will find a Greek lover and bring him back to the states. (Only jokingly, of course..) A few days before I came, my grandpa called me, using what was supposed to be a Greek accent, and pretended to be "Demetri", the Greek boy of my dreams who was awaiting my arrival.
Since then, questions on whether or not I have come across Demetri have been posed. I did meet Demetri. He is cute. He has an adorable voice. Dark hair. Tan complexion...and he is...
Six years old. Yes-- the young son of our cook, Demetri is every bit as adorable as I thought he would be. When I met him, I laughed at the irony and humor in my life. I know Demetri is probably a fairly common name here, but really--my life is humorous. So, yes, family and friends-- Demetri has been found. And I have a feeling we will become pals.

Pizza and Movie Night
I love Saturdays here. Even though we still have class (yes, class on Saturdays!), we have Taz's pizza at night and we all watch a movie on the big screen. Taz Pizza is delicious. It's not greasy like the pizza at home, and has this crust to die for. I have learned, however, that their chicken pizza is NOT like ours. I was looking forward to the moment that the slice would reach my mouth; I could practically taste the scrumptious chicken alfredo flavor on my tongue. I discovered that they use mustard sauce with tomatoes instead. Big taste bud shock.
We all vote on the movie, but it always seems that the boys win. We watched 300 (the story of the Spartans) last time and I have a feeling Troy will conquer tonight. Some of us girls were complaining that we hear about fighting and war all day long and we want to relax with a funny, sweet movie at night. One guy put it all into perspective: "Well, we have to hear about poetry and literature and art all day." I never really thought about it like that. It seems that the girls unknowingly soak in the poetry and "sweet" parts of our lectures, while focusing on the overabundance of war. Guys want to puke if they hear about playwrights and romance one more time. We read a poem this morning, where a guy actually stated that he would go without food and drink for his lover. That's the kind of love I want to find-- especially seeing the way guys prey, vulture-like over our tables after they have consumed round 1. One guy stared at Lauren's leftover food and said, "What is your intention with that meat?" We were all kind of taken back, I mean-- what are our intentions? It's not like we're thinking about asking it out on a date.
Well, regardless of movie, I guess it will be nice to hang out for a while and recover from a week of strenuous classes. Then, we go into Athens tomorrow to shop and to church. I think I'm going to buy a sarong skirt for our trip to Egypt-- that's what Mr. Myhan suggests. There are so many preparations for our trip to Egypt. Pretty much we can't eat anything or drink anything. Haha. And apparently, guys are super super forward. If they express their culture and grope me, I will express my culture right back and slap 'em in the face! Haha. I won't be able to write much while there, but I will update you later. We're going to see the pyramids, we're crusing on the Nile, and so much more! Can't wait!

Academic Overkill
I'm sorry I didn't write yesterday. It has been a state of academic chaos around here. We're leaving for Egypt Tuesday so we are getting all these exams and assignments in in a short span of time. It is very overwhelming. I didn't do as great on my first slide test as I would have liked-- I blanked out a lot. I knew the answer, but the answer would suddenly escape my mind-- only to return as I disappointedly sat on the couch afterwards. Why do my epiphanies seem to occur with such poor timing?
We have our first real test tonight. I am pretty nervous and I'm trying to cram centuries and centuries of time in my head all at once. I have come to the conclusion that if the Greeks weren't fighting someone at any one period of time, they were plotting the next time they would do so. So many wars. So many dates. So many leaders. So many things to remember.
Oh, and Greek class has taught me the origin of the phrase, "It's Greek To Me"-- so complicated! I feel like a first-grader again, staring at the whiteboard, desperately trying to grasp the alphabet. I am too young to remember the frustration that came with the first round of learning my letters, but at 21 I will probably remember my attempts at this one. I also learned that there is no "sh" sound in Greek, therefore the teacher told me my name is "Aston"..you can guess the laughs that one got. I now get that occasionally from my fellow students, along with the "Can I call you Ash in Greek?" (Put two and two together..)
My teacher also told me later, without me asking, that Ashton means to "Let the boys alone" or "Leave the boys alone." I laughed, telling her that must be the core of my dating problems-- that my name was my own self-fulfilling prophecy. She proceeded to compare me to Jabez, whose name was a prophecy of his pain...thanks, Vicky. There goes my hope of true love-- I guess I'll leave 'em and let 'em alone! Thanks Mom and Dad! :-) Haha.
I will try to write when I can, but we're going fast. I am looking forward to Egypt-- it is going to be a dream come true to see the pyramids and King Tut's tomb! Who knows, I might even sing the Steve Martin "King Tut" song while simultaneously walking like an Egyptian. :-) All my love!

A Full Day at the Acropolis/Agora
1-23-08
Though exhausted, I am writing this now so that I will remember our busy day better since it's still remotely fresh on my mind. We left at 8 a.m. to go to the Acropolis for our tour with our guide, Catharina. A fresh, perky young woman, Catharina gave us some background history on the way into town. Our first stop was at the Greek President's mansion, which is right across from the prime minister's mansion-- so we killed two birds with one stone. There was the national guard in front of the mansion, marching-- stone-faced. Though we all snapped shots of them, they remained undeterred. One of the guards stands in front of the gate-- many people got their picture with him, but he just stood there like a statue. That takes talent, considering I can't go 5 minutes without bursting into laughter. Poor guy-- I wonder what he's like outside of the job.
From there, we went through the Propylaia, which is the entrance-way to all the amazing structures. Walking through the huge Doric columns, I couldn't help but feel small and insignificant against its marble massiveness. When we emerged from the Propylaia, our eyes met the Parthenon. Even though steel restoration was around, it was still an impressive sight. The tour guide explained to us that it would have been a colorful building with statues all around back in its day. I tried to picture how it would have looked-- how powerful, how elegant. I mean, thousands of years later-- its a marvel-- I can't imagine seeing it in its day. It was thought to be built in 10 years, with 6 years for its decoration. The one thing that runs through my mind when I see all these buildings is just how much they have seen. Wars around them cause damage to their structure, the people that have looked at them through the years-- and here I am, in 2008, staring up at the same structure that so many before me have.
For some reason, one of my favorites is the Erechthion-- it is the only one we have seen that has women (the caryatids) as columns. Called the Porch of Maidens, it is unique to see a bunch of women holding up a building with their head as the capital and feet as the bottom of the structure. We also saw a neat odeon (or concert hall) built by Herodes Atticus in honor of his wife. There are still performances here presently-- famous artists like Norah Jones have played here.
I am leaving out so much-- we saw so much today!! We climbed up Mars Hill and looked around-- the view from it was spectacular. You could see all the structures we had just seen up close, mounted high up in the sky and see the town below. Dr. Griffith read the part in Acts where Paul talked to the people about their unknown God. Standing surrounded by temples dedicated to their false gods just put the verses in perspective for me. Could you imagine being surrounded by your history, beauty and works that took years to construct-- and have Paul basically tell you that it was all in vain? Being a Christian, I never really thought about why they would object to Paul's speech-- but now I get it. And I admire Paul for his bravery in standing up to a people stuck in their culture and tradition.
Even though there wasn't much to discern, the agora (or ancient gathering/market place) was still neat to see. We saw some of the ancient streets, one for the marble makers and the rest dedicated to other trades. We also saw the prison that Socrates was probably kept in til his death. In the museum we went to, we saw the poison jars that he probably drank during his execution. Once again, using my vivid imagination, I tried to see this place come alive. I saw where trials were held, government met and I tried to see it filled with people.
The museum was a collection of artifacts, most of them found in family burial grounds. They were often buried with pottery, jewelry, toys and other things that described them. I guess the neatest things I remember would have to be a child's potty chair (they thought of it before Fisher Price), the way they did jury duty and court (I'm a big Law and Order fan so I found this part fascinating..) and I think the theater masks of the time. Because they performed in front of large crowds and men played both parts, they put on masks with exaggerated facial expressions to depict different genders and emotions. They are pretty creepy-- maybe even a little more than my own personal clown wall adornment.
We saw so many other temples (Hephaistos-- who is the one who took an ax to Zeus' head to get grown Athena out) and so many other neat things, but you would be reading all day and night. Just know that overall, it was one of the most liberating, educational experiences I've ever had. When I went to the Louvre in Paris, I was impressed because I was "supposed" to be-- but this naturally and without force, touched me. Knowing that Paul looked up at the same Tower of Winds to see the time as I did (in the Roman forum) is just amazing to me. More about the Roman forum: they had a water clock that told the time of day based on where the water level was. I thought that was neat, along with a giant sundial on 8 sides of the tower. Not so significant, but thanks to common hygiene practices today, we don't have to take our own sponges around and then use a long bench of toilets. Thanks be to privacy and provided toilet paper. :-)
We also ate at our first Greek restaurant today-- it was pretty good. I had my first cheese pie-- I don't normally like different kinds of cheese in pie crust, but I tried it anyway. They topped off our meal with icecream, though, so it made it all worth it.
Love you guys. Thank you to all that have made this adventure possible. I know it was a financial (and emotional..haha) sacrifice, but I appreciate it!

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!
