So two days ago we heard at least 3 gunshots outside of our window at Alexandrias when I got home around 5 until 8ish pm (like one every once in awhile). We didn't hear any chaos going on outside, so we weren't sure if it was a gunshot or what it was. But, all of us here were freaking out. I closed my blinds & hid in my room for the rest of the night. I texted my "RA" (he's not really an RA, but he's supposed to be in charge of us over here, even though he's in the other building and we can basically do whatever the hell we want and they would never know). Later that night, I found out some guy had been working on the powerlines & they kept going wrong. Haha, sorry for the title, but I thought it'd catch your attention?
The last weekend/week has been the usual. During the week I do my routine, class, run, eat, watch tv, attempt to do homework. While the weekend was the same, very hungover. I literally didn't wake up until 4 pm on Saturday, and didn't actually shower until 8 pm or so...I skyped Brandon around 6 pm, and he was wondering why I was still hungover, haha. Sunday I layed around all day. Literally. Just watched TV and cleaned. Yesterday was gorgeous out, finally! I know all of you back home have the best weather, but we've had a lot of rain and cold. But yesterday it was around 55, all bright and sunny. I came home from class and went straight to my balcony with a blanket and some wine. It was perfect.
Within the next two weeks I have so much schoolwork that's due. I have 3 midterms, 3 papers, and 2 presentations. So, knowing me, I won't even start them until the day before. I would like to point out, however, that I handed in my works cited page of my paper that was due 2 weeks ago yesterday, and I got a 90%. So, I'm not really that worried about all of this crap. This weekend is St. Patty's day, and unlike the good ole USA, Greece doesn't celebrate...which sucks. I was going to try to plan a trip to Ireland this weekend, but I heard they take it seriously...which sucks. So, instead, my roommates (the rest of my building) decided we are going to drink all day Saturday, get some jello shots, and celebrate like true Americans. This is one of my favorite holidays if you know me well, this and Cinco de Mayo...two holidays which cannot be further away from anything Korean, but I don't care. Any reason to drink all day I will gladly agree to. Sunday, I have a "host family dinner" with the Dean of Admissions at ACT. I'm really excited to get some Greek homecooking! I'm also nervous though...but I'll have my friend Karen with me, thank God!
Well tonight we are going out to a club called "Sin City". I need to get going, I haven't showered or ate, or anything.I like being lazy so much better.
