Two week catchup: Shawty got LOW and Midterm Madness Meltdown

Image
I was worried this would happen. The computers weren't connecting to the internet for some reason last sabbath so I wasn't able to finish my post on Greece or write about that week and this week was midterms which meant I was ONE THOUSAND PERCENT WRECKED the entire time. But not the storm is finally clearing and I maybe have time to write a little bit. Week the First Monday & Tuesday we did not go on a field trip the day after returning to Greece. I think I slept a bunch and suffered trying to adjust back to doing homework. Also rehearsed for the talent show coming up! FIELD TRIP: Jericho! As you maybe know (I didn't before I came here so I'm guessing not but I don't want to assume), Jericho is in the West Bank, which is territory that has a LOT going on politically (feel free to read the wikipedia article I linked, I don't feel like I know enough about everything to even try to explain/expound that entire situation). Anyway we only go to the West

GREECE

Greece: lots of important rocks! this post is going to take me forever to write. and look y'all, I took a LOT of photos so I'm not even going to try to sort through them or even delete the blurry ones etc, here's a google photo album (CONTENT WARNING: there are some photos of naked statues, mostly male. If that's a problem for you, click through with caution but they are mostly further down in the album) I ATE A LOT OF BREAD this was the least nice hotel room we stayed in, just to give you an idea ok important souvenier I know there are specific things I ought to talk about but like ...there's a LOT of stuff we did in Greece and it's sort of overwhelming to think about summing it up tbhhhhh. I will be posting sometime tonight or tomorrow what I have done over the last two weeks as well, sorry this post sucks!! I will try to add some stuff below as I have time/energy Thessaloniki Our first stop was in the north in the 2nd largest city
