still in switzterland....it's very peacful here and calm.... verz relaxing.....

yesterday i went out with stéphanie and we walked around town a bit, went on roller skates (haha...that was pretty hard for me becuz they were different from the ones i have at home...) and then we watched A Girl with a Pearl Earring. it was pretty good but not perfect because it leaves you wondering some things at the end....i want to read the book now!!

today i got up really late and just read some more....tonight the Euro 2004 semi-finals start!! should i support portugal or holland??

stef-i was looking through TIME and i saw this mini article on this crazy alligator who got loose somewhere near hong kong! please explain what is going on there!?!? he won personality of the year??  very funny.....

hey! updating again...

i'm in switzerland and typing is hard because some keys are all mixed up!!

sick.... couldn't go hiking because of that...but i did go for the first few days....now im just hanging out at Ioana's and Michelle's place for the week...

going to meet stephanie r. tomorrow in the city and do something!!

stef--guess who i saw when i was in lugano?? greta and guilia!! remember them? small world.....

managed to update again!! i'm in Nafplio (a small touristic town 2 hours from athens) there's a lot of archeological stuff around her, so we visited all that!

yesterday was pretty cool....we got up late  and then went to the beach. the beach here is pretty bad though! firstly there's no sand...just rocks and then the water is GROSS!! it would be pretty, but there's a lot of trash in it! plastic bags and stuff...eww! they don't even seem to care....people actually swim in it! so we left and swam somewhere FAR AWAY from the beach...but we didn't stay long! but in the evening we went to Epidavros, a very old greek theater and saw the play The Trojan Women by Euripides...it was good, but it was in greek!

gotta go...we're going to dinner and my dad is become annoyed at me....hehe

i had some time to update at our hotel in Santorini! it's so beautiful here and very warm!  the hotel we're staying at is soo cool! it's pretty small, but it has like 4 pools and 2 of them are infinity pools/negative edge, so it looks like the pool water is falling down the hill! the hotel is on a cliff overlooking the caldera which is the volcano crater filled with water!  the island is really interesting...an eruption blew up the middle of the island 3000 years ago, so only the crescent or the "outside ring" of the island remains! great views here!! the volcano below us is still active though, so that's kinda creepy....

my weatherpixie says that it is still pretty cool in Boston, so  i hope it warms up!! it's like 32 degrees celsius here, so i'm very happy! mostly i've been relaxing by the pool, and sleeping!  tomorrow we're going to see some old ruins!

SUMMER IS SO COOL!!!

ALL DONE PACKING!!!

i'm leaving in an hour, so i'm just hanging out and relaxing...i'm kinda sad about leaving home though! I won't be back until october!

I'm too lazy to make a new layout...really didn't have the time! I wanted too though...i probably won't have time over the summer unless i find a really cheap, fast internet cafe somewhere! So DEFINATELY at the end of august there will be a different layout....

so updating will be quite hard over the summer, so don't expect much! i'll try as much as possible!!

Have a great summer!!

SAW HARRY POTTER 3!!!! it was pretty good, but in a way different style from the other 2! the three kids are so cute together....they just fit the parts i think! and ron and hermione (she gets to be shielded and protected by harry....hm i'm jealous!!)....so cute...they have to get together sometime! the movie skipped a lot of stuff though that was in the book! even though it wasn't part of the main story, they should have had the quidditch cup and stuff like that....for the 4th movie, they can't skip that much!! i miss richard harris as dumbledore though....he was what i imagined....whatever....it was a good movie!!

Packed SO MUCH today....don't know what i'm gonna do....i need to pack for summer vacation AND camp....AHHHh....it's impossible!!!

SAT II: wow i failed....and so did everybody else.....why were there so many questions on plant structure???

PARTY:

I'm so dumb....i wanted to take pics but i forgot.....stupid me!! o well...i will in october!! it was fun....we had to get emergency pizza because sarah couldn't bring any! we were all so hungry! we played twister, killer, and just chilled! then we saw SARAH'S  SLIDESHOW!! it was really good! wish it had been longer..... only that they were some dumb "techinical difficulties" at the beginng! first the laptop couldn't start and then it took me ages to get the image on the big screen!! dumb old laptop.....

I MISS YOU ALL MY FRIENDS!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! MWAH!!!! SEE YOU IN OCTOBER!!!

EXAMS ARE FINISHED!!!!

stef--haha we both have the same thing written on our xangas.....

SUMMER IS HERE!!! NO MORE SCHOOL!! just the sat II, which is hard, but i really don't care anymore......
