This Is Fifteen

For the most part, the last day here in Naxos was pretty decent though not too different than the last few. It thankfully started off an hour earlier due to my classes starting around 9 rather than 8. The classes themselves weren't too bad with The Ancient City spending a lot of time talking about the midterm exam at Siphnos. I haven't given much thought to it though it shouldn't be too much of a challenge. I also managed to do a portion of the reading and have been doing well on the journal entries with the help of the dear blog here. I knew this would be good for something...

After the classes, I elected to skip the siesta and instead decided to go down to the port to grab a pita for lunch (I wish they had lamb gyros here. The ones in Athens were pretty good), walk around, listen to some tunes, and churning out a music review for the first time since we were in Mykonos. Kinda makes me wonder how much time we'll have like this on some of the other destinations. I know Athens will have some decent amounts but I'm not quite sure about everywhere else.

Following the siesta hours, I finally got a chance to sit down by the pool and do some reading. I think I read about 50 pages from Garp today and have decided that it is pretty damn awesome so far. It's definitely made me think more about novel writing and I ended up getting a paragraph randomly written afterwards. You could say I'm one of those people that is trying to figure out what their strengths are as a writer and what they should be writing about. Hopefully I'll figure it out one of these days...

Dinner was also interesting in that we ended up going to a Mexican restaurant that was just off the port. I had heard about it but never got a chance to go until around 9 PM today. All in all, it was pretty decent and the tacos I ordered tasted pretty good though I'm not that big on assembling myself. Yes, I know I'm lazy...

Fortunately I'm somehow not lazy enough to make another lazy three paragraph entry. Must be all the personal writing that I was doing today. Whatever the case, maybe I should go into details more rather than just listing everything. I suppose we'll see how this works out...
