Thursday was our last day of classes for the week, and this time we really got to try out some things with the Greek tragedies and comedies. Some great collaboration went on in the room, from lifting Mary Lou Kolbenschlag (’14) to the ceiling to tying a fake…ahemm…body part part around Caroline Slutsky’s (’14) waist. The day was quite productive and some of the scenes really came a long way by “just doing it” in the words of Timothy Vasen.

After class we all had our daily siesta  before we went out to a dinner provided by College Year in Athens (CYA). We ate a long delicious meal up on the roof of a taverna style restaurant. Afterwards, some of us headed back towards the 1896 Olympic Stadium, which is located right next to our school. Feeling quite adventurous, a few (about 7) of us climbed the walls of the stadium and took our place on the first, second, and third metal podiums. After about 30 seconds of fun and laughter, a scary and angry man ran towards us yelling who knows what in Greek (we’ve only had three language classes so far). He chased us out of the stadium and back over the wall. Apparently that wall isn’t meant to be climbed over? However I think the fun was worth the fear. I will try to post some photo evidence in the future. Anyways, after we made our way back to the hotel we rested up and got prepared for our big day at the acropolis. Check back soon to see how that went!!

Ya su (goodbye) for now!
