15 days until spring break. I've officially started a countdown! I got my ticket to Paris, leaving Sunday, April 8th! It was only 50 euros! Then again, I have an 8 hour layover in Milan Bergamo...but I decided I'm just going to explore Bergamo a bit while I'm waiting. Still worth it. My friend Josefina and I also planned our trip to Amsterdam! May 9-14, I'm missing 4 days of class...but for the prices that were given, it's worth it. Plus, we have connections in Milan, so we are going to just stay and explore Milan for 2 days (the city, not just Bergamo!). I'm super excited. It will probably be the only trip I take other than my spring break plans and my island hopping at the beginning of June (yeah, you can be jealous now).
Last weekend was fun, we went to Sin City, where there were 1 euro shots. I think that explains the night the best...there's all these weird professional photos from there. It was just a bar, not even a club. It's weird going "clubbing" but that's what Greeks (and Europeans in general) do. Just different from my Water Street scene. I also had the weekend to myself because my roommate was gone in Germany. It was nice to not have to announce when I'm changing, to turn the lights on and off whenever I wanted, to make a mess, and to skype whenever. Friday night we stayed in and had a family dinner (me, Kosta, Vaggelis, Josefina & Emily). The next day we started drinking around noon. Beer pong, jello shots, shorts. It was the standard American celebration until we got our gyros! Yummmmm. The most unattractive thing to eat in general, now just picture me trying to eat it while I'm drunk...yeah. Then we went to get sit by the waterfront for a bit and pet the skylos (dogs) that were walking by. Don't worry, we only petted the actual pets, not the strays with rabies! We went home to take a nap, then went to the Irish bar that was near the white tower. It was super fun, with weird Irish music. But, I liked it. It was a different scene, and with different people. Then we made our way to Valeritou...The next day sucked. That's about all I can say.
We are finally getting nice weather here, yesterday it was up to 70. It feels so much warmer than that though. It's so hard to study when the sun is out. Today, we went by the waterfront and studied for a bit. So gorgeous. Except for the fact that it smelled like fish...it's so easy to point out the Americans here, we're all in shorts, flip flops, tanks, etc. while the Greeks are still in their winter jackets (literally!). I just can't wait for the warm sun & the beach! I'm sure once it gets nice out, I'll be complaining though.
I'm starting to get really sick of having to cook for myself (well getting sick of eating just pasta because that's the only thing I can eat). I also feel like I don't have any clothes here. I keep thinking of things I left at home that I wish I had here...upsetting. Other than that, I'm still in my regular routine, just stressed with all the things I have to do before spring break. Oh well. I can't wait to meet up with Natashya, we have 3 weeks together! It's going to be great...! And us two together in Europe...we're bound to get lost.
I'm going to attempt to make a pizza now. I'll let you know how that goes....bye!
