Continuation. We woke up only after 3 hours of sleep because we promised Aunt Irene that we would go for breakfast. When we were getting ready, I went to put on my contact and it really stung. Then I realized that I had soaked them in hydrogen peroxide. Anyway. We went and ate. It wasn't too good. We had planned to walk to church but of course mom opposed that. I got upset because I thought I could after being so good with food these days. At the end, we all got drived. We ended up getting to church very early so we were standing outside forever bored out of our mids. I fell coming out of church too because I can't walk in my glasses. Finally church ended and they started dancing right away. Everyone was dancing. We hung around and mingled a little bit. Then we went to visit Uncle Mitch and Ari and her family were there too. It was really nice. We stayed there and ate lunch. Their cousin was there too and she could have been my god-sister if we had stayed in Greece because her dad is mom and dads koubaro. Gus drove us down and we went to Aunt Irene's house. I went to say by to George and Uncle Chris. It was not at all a sad goodbye this time and I don't think it will be with anyone this time. We went back to Aunt Irene just to kill itme. Then we went back down tot he house because I have to get ready to leave. Me, Angela, Anna and Dina were all going home on the 8pm bus. I went back up to Aunt Irene to say bye but they were not there. Uncle Jim drove us to Filipidada. There were a lot of decent looking guys on the bus. There was a ton of traffic going to Antirio. We saw a burning car on the side of the road. After Rio, I fell dead asleep and we got home at 1:30. We went to get a can and the guy said that his meter was broken. So Angela told him it was about 1000. He said that she was ripping him of but told us to get in anyway. When we got to the house she went to give home 1500 and he got all pissed because he said he did not want her to think he was ripper her off and that he deserved it. Whatever. She really gave him more than enough. I went straight to sleep when we got home. I was the first one up this morning and I left right away. I should have mentioned that we all slept at Uncle Jim's house. I went home, unpacked, showered and came to the academic center. I emailed a little then did some homework. I have a whole lot to do this week. I have a feeling I am doing to fall back into my old ways.
