Finally!

Sooo.....after a 2 and 1/2 hr delay getting into New Wark and a 10 hr flight to Athens, I finally made it! I met lots of kids in my program in the airport and they are all pretty cool so we will have a great time. Our program directers met us at the airport and took us by coach bus to our apartments. Each of our apartments are scattered all thoughout a neighborhood in Athens called Pagrati. Pagrati has tons of shops, out door restaurants that spray you with mist instead of air conditioning, and is also home to the Arcadia Center for Education in Athens which is where Im taking my classes at.

So far I have used almost all of the Greek that I know, going to the super market for some fruit, and talking to our friendly neighbor who didnt understand english. My roommates, who do not know greek either, are all really friendly so far.
Later tonight we have a Welcome dinner at the center, and then a bunch of us are going out to explore the scene around town. Then we start at 930 am tomorrow with our first lecture and a trip to the Acropolis.

As for right now, its 3:30, 92 degrees, and Im going to try and get rid of some of this jet lag.

Update ya soon!

Also, thanks for everyone that talked to me when i was doing absolutly nothing at either of the airports. You helped cure my boredom.
