but I’m going to do it anyway, so suck it.
This is my problem; this week would have been perfect for travelling. We get four days off, and seems everyone is going to Mykonos. Now, I don’t really care about Mykonos one way or the other, but I do want to go here.
For those of you who don’t know, this is Delos. Where Apollo and Artemis were born. Kind of a big deal.
Since I have work up to my eyeballs this week (hey, that’s a first!), I will have to do any travelling next week. The weekend in between my finals (I have exams on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday). Balls, I say.
So the question is, is Delos worth failing two of my finals for? (Neither of those finals is Ancient Greek, which is really the only class I care about. Also, I haven’t been travelling for a month, which is simply heinous.)
Come on, people. Input is important. At the very least it will give me someone to blame should things go belly-up I value your opinion!

Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.
It’s a completely unique feeling. There are walls. Actual, standing walls. I got *lost* trying to go the theater. Lost on actual old streets.
Fail your finals. Take the early ferry from Mykonos. Wear closed toed shoes and long pants, there are thistles.
