Alexander the Great

So we're staying at this really nice resort and the last week of class, we will be doing an internship and 20 of the 30 students will be coming back here to work. We haven't found out where we are all going yet, we'll find out monday i think, i'll let ya know. It's so beautiful here, its right on the beach, they have a pool, hair dryers, high speed in the lobby, and soap in the showers!!! (things i have been living without in these ridiculous hotels!! lol It's very exciting to make it to civilization. Hopefully this is where i get to work! When we arrived we all headed straight to the beach and then around 8:30 we all had a buffet dinner that was decent and then enjoyed free shots of basically fruit juice at the Kassandra Bar that they have here...i tried to order a FROZEN pina colada and even explained it to the waitress and the bartender. I instructed them on how to make it and everything. She brought it out wrong so i sent it back, and then she brought it back pretty much the same way....i was mad but still tried to drink it and paid for it and then i headed to the lobby for internet and then to bed around 1:30 after chatting for a while with some girls in the lobby. We all got up at 9:30 this morning for a buffet breakfast which was a lot better than what we've been having. After this, we had a free day today, this is sorta our last day to enjoy free time before we start classes on monday. So, well all got ready and headed down to the beach around 10:30 and stayed out there all day until about 4:30. We all had a blast and there were people laying around topless just like i was told there would be. Some girls in my group decided to join in at one point. lol It was a fun day, we all read books and listened to our ipods while getting a tan. After this long day at the beach, we all got ready and headed to dinner and afterwards we all kinda hung out again but agreed that we're all getting up early to go to the beach before we head to Thessaloniki tomorrow. The bus is leaving at 1pm to take us to our new hotel where hopefully i'll get the chance to do some laundry!! THEN...school work starts---- YUCK! None of us are happy about it, but we've heard that it won't be too hard. Well, i don't really have any interesting stories today but i'm sure some will develop soon enough...I also posted 1 album of pictures on facebook today so people can look at them, i don't seem to be able to upload them on here, so if you want to check them out you'll have to go there!! Sorry!

Hmm. You didn't get any "weird burns" again did you? :)
Jon loved the pics and we decided you're the only person we know that would have multiple pics of toilets! Hope you get a great location for your internship. I'm sure it will be great.

I'm so glad you've got internet. We've missed hearing from you on your blog. Chels and I just got in from the farm where everyone missed you and very impressed with yo being a world traveller. Gracie nearly fainted when I told her you were in Greece! Keep up the good stories and keep learning lots . . . the trip of a lifeime.
