Just read online that apparently Gary Coleman died today, and I suddenly can't help but wonder why an unusual amount of celebrities seem to be dying during the spring and summer months. With his two main competitors gone, I get the feeling that Arnold Schwartzenegger must be a tad nervous due to him being one of the great celebrity punchlines left in the business. The hard rock/metal community also seems to be getting hit harder than recent years with Peter Steele, Ronnie James Dio, and Paul Gray being taken away from us prematurely. Hell, I think I'm still in mourning over Dio...
While it hasn't been as eventful as last night, today was a pretty solid day and had a lot going on. I ended up getting up obscenely early again today though it was made up for by getting to talk to Heather for the first time in about 4 days or so. Of course, I'm still getting the Skype thing figured out and I've never been much of a webcam/phone person to begin with. After that and a decent breakfast, the group went out for the usual walking around the city. I think we saw more today than any other time so far and managed to spend some time at the Acropolis, Parthenon, a few select monuments, and a museum centered around Greece's overall history. All in all, it was great to see more historical artifacts and I've gotten hundreds of pictures out of it. I get the feeling that these might be a pain in the ass to upload when the time comes...
Since then, I spent my free time going with the same students from last night to look for a book/stationary store (And ate at a McDonald's along the way. Not too bad, actually...) and took a five hour nap earlier this evening. Considering how the first dream I remember consisted of another tour and seemed to be rather close to reality, it may be safe to say that this trip has officially drilled its way into my skull...
With that said, I think it might be a good idea to head back to bed sometime soon. We actually have our first classes tomorrow morning and I'm rather curious to see what they'll end up being like. Here's hoping I'll get up with the alarm as opposed to two hours before it...

Actually, uploading pictures here is just as easy as uploading them in an email. Hope you post some soon! Sounds like you're having a great experience. Take it all in...opportunities like this don't come along every day!
