Magic Numbers: 14-41-11

I've been in Greece now for 15 days. 15 days feels like a lifetime.  And there's no time to stop, so we haven't.  We haven't had any free days since class started and I'm exhausted.  We were supposed to have one in Chania, but that got cut because of the strikes.  The free day was then tacked on to Athens, but we had seminar that day and the day after that was also supposed to be free, but we had Latin that day instead (again, because we had to rearrange the schedule).

On my fifth hotel stay, seventh if you count the overnight ferry rides.  I know my teachers are just trying to expose us to as many the different things as possible, but it's a bit overwhelming.
