Peripatetic

Today, I am very glad that I walk everywhere I need to get to, instead of relying on the Metro or bus systems. There is a general strike today in Athens, which means that the public transportation system is non-operational. Consequently, a lot of classes have been canceled today, including my 8:30 AM Aegean and Ancient Greek Art and Archeology class which was supposed to meet at the National Archaeological Museum this morning. The strike might also go on tomorrow, but tomorrow's classes aren't going to be canceled because the professors have had enough time to tell their students to be prepared to walk to the sites. My Latin class today also got canceled, but because our professor is sick, not because of the strike. This means that on a day when I normally have three classes, I now only have one. This also means that I have time to eat my dinner before dark today, which I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do, since my last class goes until 6:50 and sunset is at 6:59 today.

May you be sealed in the Book of Life, everyone, by the way.

Also, this weekend the school decamps to the Argolid, which will be fun and exciting. I know that we're going to visit Mycenae, of course, but they haven't posted itineraries for the buses yet, so I don't know what else we're going to see. But I still am really looking forward to this trip.
