So, the day started off interesting. We got to our metro on time and everything was going smoothly-- we arrived in the part of Athens that has the bus station. We tried to follow our handy dandy map from a Greek mapquest, but we soon found it unreliable. We asked for directions from different people, but they all sent us in different directions. We went back and forth, back and forth for about an hour. There were these guys working in a car garage that we passed like 3 times that began to laugh at us. It was getting comical. We were getting worried that we would miss our 8:45 bus, but we finally found an English speaking man on a motorcycle that led us to the bus. We made it at 8:43 a.m. Haha! Talk about a sigh of relief!
The ride here wasn't too bad, and the ferry was actually a fun ride. On the bus, I sat with a little old lady who was Greek Orthodox. Every time we passed a church or cemetery, she would chant softly to herself and do all the symbols. She didn't speak English so she would just look over at me and grin. Isn't smiling such a blessing? It's so universal.
When we got on the island, it was an immediate sense of wonder and excitement. It was like we left reality at the door of the ferry and entered this Disney World-esque community all its own. When we got into town, it was a movie-like town with cafes, icecream shops and stores door-to-door as far as the eye can see. We explored for a while, darting in and out of various shops. We went down to the water for a while and took lots of pictures. We are going to the actual beach tomorrow to lie around and relax. We are also hoping to check out the Smuggler's Cove. We ate supper at this cute little restaurant and had the best pizza we've had all semester! Tonight we got gelato icecream, which has become a new tastebud sensation of mine. Yum! They are celebrating some sort of festival here and people are dressed up in Halloween costumes and music is playing-- it is so neat!
Our hotel is really nice minus one minor detail: THE SHOWER. A tiny 12x12 inch square of tiles, it has a wrap-around curtain that doesn't even reach the ground. The shower head does not hang from the top of the ceiling, but instead becomes a juggling mess as you try to hold it and shampoo your hair. I dropped it several times and occasionally sprayed the outside of the curtain, soaking the floor. I noticed once that the water was beginning to overflow onto the floor so I panic and try to shut off the water-- instead I knock off my razor and it breaks mid-shaving. I search around in the puddle of water for the razor and instead come up with a huge clump of hair that is not my own. I scream-- it is then that I turn the water back on and spray myself in the face-- my contact falls out because of the water pressure (luckily I brought extras..) Something tells me I might just dab on some extra deo the rest of our stay and skip the trauma.
The people here are so nice and it is a unique town. We have a balcony that looks over the town square and the water can be seen as well. Tomorrow we are thinking about watching a play from our balcony. I am looking forward to the relaxation tomorrow-- it is much needed. I am so glad we decided to come here-- words can't adequately express what emotion washes over me as I look around and see the beauty of this part of the world. Mountains and ocean, two of the wonders of nature work hand in hand to create one of the most gorgeous landscapes. They might have to drag me kicking and screaming back to the Artemis. Haha.

Drinks With Umbrellas
Why did I title my entry in such a way? Because this weekend will not be complete until I have some sort of drink that has a tiny umbrella in it. It is the epitome of relaxation and beachlife-- fruit punch is refreshing, but if you stick that little umbrella in there it immediately results in a change of lifestyle. If you are sitting up straight, you will immediately slouch back into your chair. If you are lying down, this peace comes over you and you could instantly take a nap if you wanted to. The power of the tiny umbrella.
We are leaving at 6:30 in the morning. DiMy (Mrs. Myhan) is taking us to the metro, where we will then go catch a bus. Throw a ferry in there and we are on our way to island bliss! I really hope this weekend turns out like we want it too, but if not-- it is still good to get away. I'm done with all my tests-- some I did good on-- some not so much-- but I am going to clear my head of all disappointments.
Tonight, after class was over, I felt like a bird that had just been let out of its cage. We all did. Card games started, movies began and I went out and played basketball against Ben. It is so beautiful outside and the weather is nice-- such a blessing! It was kind of cool, but I still continued to sweat profusely after playing Michael Jordan. He doesn't take it easy on me because I'm a girl, which is flattering and frustrating at the same time. Haha.
We have good talks while we're shooting around-- we talked about today's chapel some tonight. Dr. Hopper talked and once I got passed his dry, gruff humor I really understood what he was talking about. Dr. Hopper is one of those people that is hard to decipher-- he says things that are totally "non-old-person-like" which is unexpected and funny at the same time. He was talking about how it is okay to question God-- and that when we have questions who is better to go to then our maker? I feel like at Harding sometimes people put up these fronts of strength and I end up feeling like such a weakling. It was nice to hear David pour out his soul in Psalm 13 about his fears and frustrations with God. I have asked some of those same questions. I think that until we acknowledge our weakness, we will never appreciate the strength when we receive it. I think instead of giving people cookie cutter answers-- we should be real with them and let them see insecurity. Just some thoughts from my heart.
You know when you find out someone is super talented and you didn't know it-- that this light just glows around them from now on. That happened the other day. Dr. Hopper started playing the piano beautifully (he's amazing at it!) and then good 'ol Mr. Griff started singing this song. Oh my goodness. He is so so so good! I've heard him lead singing in chapel, but that just doesn't do much for displaying the extent of his skill. I was trying to study Greek with Jake, but he would get frustrated because I would venture off into a daze-- listening to the two of them create this wonderful collaboration of instrument and voice. I asked Kiwi (Mrs. Griff) if that is what made her fall in love with him and she just kind of turned pink, stuttered and avoided it altogether. I think that's a yes. Haha.
To close off this random collection of ideas, we might have internet at the hotel we stay at so I will try to keep in touch if possible. If not, I'll update you when I get back. Just pray for our safety! I am looking forward to this and I hope it exceeds my expectations! God Bless You!

Banana Split Guilt Offerings
Well, I am taking a break from this crazy frenzy of studying to write. I have had 2 big tests already and I have 2 remaining. Aagh! When you get done with one, you have enough time to take a deep breath and get started on the next study guide. I can't help but daydream off into island bliss, awaiting our upcoming adventure. I think the plan is to leave Friday morning really early. Not crazy about the morning wake-up call, but we can sleep on the bus. It is 5 girls and 2 boys going on this little adventure. Yeah, the fellas are a little outnumbered, but I think they can handle it. :-) Other than me, of course, it's: Lauren, Lacey, Alana, Ashley, Ben and Jake. Jake is our little travel agent-- he thrives on finding hotels and spots and booking things. He will be so busy planning while there that the whole sea of estrogen around him shouldn't phase him. If I had one word to describe Ben it would be "chill." He is so calm and never raises his voice. I think if he ever yelled at me I would cry-- because it would mean that I had really done something over the top. I think he will take everything in stride.
We have our big Humanities 270 test tonight-- which is the killer class here. Afterwards, though, we always get dessert as a peace offering. People stomp out of the classroom until they see banana splits on the table-- we are pacified for about 30 minutes before someone goes, "Can you believe that short answer question! That was ridiculous!" Then, the banana split high is gone and we moan about our lives.
I always like to point out when a small blessing happens in my life and today it was because I got a message on facebook from Mrs. Phyllis Bachelor! I gave her my blog address, so if you're reading this, hey! :-) It has been so long since we've caught up-- and I got a little teary that I finally got the chance to!
Better get back to work. Blah-de-blah-de-blah! Love ya'll!

Valentines Day Part 2
Hello everyone! I was so excited this morning because I finally got my letter from Mema and Papa (thanks, guys!) and my Valentine's Day package from home. I was like a little kid on Christmas morning. I ripped open the box to find one of my favorite treats ever-- gummies. Lifesaver gummies, brite crawler gummies, Jolly Rancher gummies-- oh yeah! Thanks, Mom-- you know the way to my heart. The mail system here stinks, and other people got lost packages as well. Lauren got the cutest poster from her mom's elementary class. The misspelled words, of course, made it even more adorable. One of the lines said, "You are swet."
I am supposed to be working on World Christian online bible class work, but I always seem to type in www.facebook.com or my e-mail address instead..whoops. The class is just kind of frustrating and the teacher counted off 4 points on one of my assignments because I used "I've" instead of "I have." Give me a break. Haha. I'm (I mean, I am) pressing on though!
Dr. Hopper flew in today because two people are coming tomorrow to try out for the Myhans' positions. They are finishing out their term this summer before heading back to the states. I'm glad that I got to have them before their time was up. They are such great people and I have been blessed to know them.
I have two big tests tonight so I am trying to stay out of panic mode. I have become more "chill" the more I've been here-- I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing-- haha. Last night, Lacey, Lauren and I made videos instead of being really studious. They were HILARIOUS. One of my hobbies is imitation so that was my role in it. I imitated one of our teachers perfectly and had people rollin'.
Lauren and Lacey also played a mean prank on me. I won't disclose total details, but it involves putting up pictures of a boy that they think I have a crush on (I don't!) in my room in strategic spots. One of them they printed off facebook and he is making a weird face and they put it on the back of the bathroom door. I am going about my business when I see him staring at me with an "I've got my eye on you" caption. Can you believe that? I screamed. Though a picture, it still gives me the heebie-jeebies to know that I am being watched in one of the worst moments of life. Others were places around the room with different captions. Girls, girls! I love them though-- I always have to give them props for creativity. :-) Any ideas on how to get them back? Haha.

Dreaming of the Beach...
Ok, I think we finally decided on the whole Zante (it has a more formal Greek name..I'll get it to you as soon as I can so you google it!) beach thing. Jake looked it up and we found a nice hotel for 21 euro a night, which isn't too bad for the view! We also get a nice breakfast the next morning. It is only a 5 hour bus ride and a 1 hour ferry ride. We saw some pictures and it was amazing! We will get to visit this Smuggler's Cove and hang out at the beach and recover from this test week! And when we get back-- we're headed straight for our trip to Northern Greece! Can you say major VACATION? I think all colleges should run like this. A week of class, trip, a week of class, trip...I think less students would drop out.
Before supper tonight, I worked out again (hurray!) and then played basketball with Lauren, Ben and Tony. Little Demetri wandered the court, but I wouldn't count him as an official player. It was girls vs. boys and the boys slaughtered us. They weren't allowed to pack us, but unfortunately we didn't think to make "no stealing" a rule as well. It was so much fun though! I love playing basketball and I love that the weather has gotten nice again so we can do so.
Have you ever had a hamburger where the cheese was inside the meat? Me neither-- until tonight. We came in to find that was the meal. I was super excited and bit into the hamburger only to find cheese ooze out of my hamburger patty. Weird.
I'm fixing to finish my Humanities 201 study guide and look over my slides for the test tomorrow. Prayers! :-)

Subway and Soft Bread! Hallelujah!
What a beautiful day today! The sun was shining, gentle breeze-- such a stark contrast to last week's weather. The unpredictability kind of reminds me of good 'ol Arkansas. We headed for Athens, dressed in skirts, t-shirts and light jackets and for once didn't feel out of place. The Greek people, however, are still bundled up with scarves and leather jackets. They still look at us like we're crazy, but part of me wanted to smile and point up at the sun. When we got into Athens, a few of us went to eat at Subway. I thought that maybe it would be Subway + stone bread, but when the lady pulled out bread resembling ours I wanted to climb over the glass and give her a hug. I usually go for the 6 inch bread, but celebrating this momentous occasion I got a foot long of that scrumptious goodness. That was a fresh start to the afternoon-- I now understand their little "Eat Fresh" logo. Stick a kid in a hard bread country for over a month and that is eatin' fresh!
We looked around for a little while and then headed to church. Church tonight was special to me for two reasons. Isn't it exciting when a preacher reads a scripture you've heard your whole life and it suddenly comes to you in this new light? Dino read the passage where Paul talks about running the race that is before you-- he talked about how important games and competitions were back then and how it was such a proper analogy to make during that time period. After going to Olympia and Corinth, it all made sense. After seeing how much they put into their stadiums and their competitions (they were, after all, in honor of their gods) it made sense that Paul would compare the Christian life to a race. And isn't it neat that after all these years that same analogy fits us today? We put so much time and effort into athletic competitions-- shouldn't we also strive to complete the most important race of our lives?
I also enjoyed church tonight because we had some visitors. There was a younger gentlemen from Connecticut (it was so good to meet another American outside of the group!), a Greek man who just came back from New Jersey and a man from Iraq. (The guy from Iraq was a translator for the American army). I enjoyed talking to each of them and getting to know a little bit about them. The guy from Connecticut was really nice and from what I gathered, he is just kind of "chillin" in Greece-- not here for study or anything in particular. Oh to be able to do that! I hope they come back because most of the time, we are the majority of the church.
We came back tonight and had leftovers like we always do on Sunday nights-- it is my least favorite food night because we all have to fight over 3 microwaves! A tough school week awaits me tomorrow-- test after test. I'm trying to keep my cool and view the long weekend ahead. I think we have decided to go to the island of Zende. (I think that's what it's called!) I don't have a lot of details at this point, but Jake has done some research and it is apparently a beautiful place. He found a postcard of it today while we were shopping and it was great-- he says the weather forecast is nice too. He's supposed to call Aristotle Travel and get some price estimates and information. I'll keep you updated on if it works out! :-) Some people are going as far as Russia, but I don't have $400 just lyin' around. Some are going skiing, but I don't have ski gear nor the patience to fall a hundred times while the pros dart around me. Haha.
All my love!

Sleeping In, Pizza, and a Good Ballgame
Today is my favorite day of the week. Saturday! Actually, it is only my favorite day when it falls on a day off. Ha! I slept in today which was very much needed. After lunch, I made a trip back to the workout room-- it was nice to see it again. I have been out of the game for a while and I was starting to get to that couch potato stage. They have a really nice workout room here and I should take advantage of it!
I updated a lot of my blogs today so that they will meet the qualifications of the trip journals we have to turn in. So-- if you are bored and want to check out the ones that deal with sites, I added a little more information.
A few of us girls watched a chick flick tonight and then we went downstairs for pizza! Several of the group members left for different occasions so those of us left got to enjoy more pizza! Harding is playing Henderson State back home and it is a big televised game-- Captain put it on the big screen. I wish I was there with the Rhodes Rowdies, but I'm glad I'll atleast know the outcome. I'm fixing to go down and watch the rest of it! :-)
I think the movie chosen for tonight is "Monsters Inc." Finally-- a victory! I love cute animated films! Tomorrow is Sunday, which means we will head into Athens for a little while before church. The weather was really nice today and I hope it keeps up. The snow was fun, but there is only so much of it I can take. I hope you enjoyed my travel updates-- I feel like I can never quite convey how amazing they are! Our next trip is to Delphi and other parts of northern Greece. Can't wait! :-) Each trip brings new adventures and each trip we get a new roommate. It gives me a chance to get to know different girls a little better.
I am already having "things will be all different when I get back" dreams. I dreamed about the James' bible study in Searcy that I have gone to since freshman year. Instead of having their cute little terriors, they got rid of them and got two huge sheepdogs. I walked in and everyone kind of looked at me like they didn't know who I was. (I usually get a big greeting from everyone) All the couples that went there had switched partners and a lot of the familiar faces were gone. I remember feeling out of the loop when I woke up. I am starting to realize that I need to accept change; some of it may actually be for the better. I have realized that people can't put their life on hold just because I am not ready to change. People will get married. People will move houses. I will grow up and eventually get a job. Yes, I am one of those people that tries to interpret my own dreams. I always have these when I know big changes are coming up in my life-- and I always dream I have a baby when I know I'm facing new responsibilities. (I have given birth in dreams a few times here..scary..) What do ya'll think? Interpretations are welcome. Haha.
Well, I know this entry was just a rambling session, but I try to keep this updated or I will fall away-- much like the lack of working out. I love you all and think of you often. I also got a neat comment from my senior high English teacher, Mrs. Hamilton! If you read this again Mrs. H-- thanks for the comment! It made my day-- you had a big influence on my love for writing!
Love ya'll! Take care!
