Today was an interesting day. It started out very strangely. The phone rang and we thought it was our wake up call but thank goodness it was not because I was not going to get out of bed. It was actually pouring rain too so I because thinking if I was going to go on my walking tour. I totally rolled out of bed and went. I did not learn much but I was some cool places and it was beautiful. When I went back home, I actually got myself ready and woke up Joanna too. I was really not in the mood to do anything. I even skipped my acculturization meeting. Oh well. But we went down tot the school to do some stuff and we got stuck there forever. Joanna's luggage came too which was good but the problem was getting it back tot he apartments since the cabs were on strike again and Pete could not drive into the city. We got our ugly blue cell phone too. Of course we made some phone calls to pass out our number. I called Raina too so she would not be upset with me. I saw her in my dream last night. We had people at our house and I was looking at Raina. I turned around and saw another Raina. So I started yelling at her and telling her she could not replace Raina. And I was trying to beat her up but she knew some karate tricks. Only me. 

There was a car parked by the phone that was a Honda Legend. It has the Honda symbol but it was a Legend. Very strange. So we headed back tot he apartments and then we went to the supermarket with the little yellow man on it. By then it was already time for our diner. My table was small and the teachers were kind of searious. The food was actually delicious though. For afterwards, we made plans with Joanna's cousins . We went by the restaurant to see Gus first and then by the house to see Vicky. Her cousins Sophia and Pat where very nice. We went to Insomnia for drink with their friends. There was this totally hot guy at the door and Sophia told us he was the owner and a model. Yes, I could tell. As we were going, Patty told us some directions and we kind of went and then I figured out where we ere! I actually made a connection between streets!!! So we got home and that was that. 

Yesterday I learned some interesting facts. Greece has the highest smoking percentage and also the lowest suicide rate. I got my first letter today from Sue and she said Young is pregnant!
