First test is officially over and now I'm off to Crete (in three hours). We have to ride a 10 hour ferry, I'm not sure if I'm going to like the ferry and since I've never been on one I'm not sure if a 10 hour ride is the best maiden voyage... Anyway, this trip is our last trip of the class and when we come back on April 3rd the first class will be over. (No more Matthew! :( ! :( ) I'm really going to miss his use of the term "higgledy piggledy" and his word pronunciation of "aluminum" (al-oo-min-ium), I'll miss the fun British accent too.
It's only been two weeks in Athens and everyone has witnessed all of my weird sleeping habits. Molly, Keegan, Zakea, and Nicolette have all heard me sleep talk. James and EzG have seen me sleep with my mouth hanging open and my eyes half-open on the bus back from Pylos. Surprisingly though, no one is creeped out by any of it--they're troopers.
The vendors in this town never fail to crack me up. No matter what you're doing and even if you don't make eye contact they always shout the most ridiculous things and some of them were borderline desperate. Yesterday afternoon I was walking through the Plaka by myself and I was wearing my bright yellow sunglasses and one of the vendors from a store I passed just shouted at me "I LOVE YOUR SUNGLASSES". Normally I would have tried to brush it off as him talking to someone but sadly there was no one around me walking in either direction so it was hard to deny whose sunglasses he was admiring. The other day one of the vendors held up a purple purse to Zakea and said "Buy this, the color matches your personality".
Well, I'm off to my next adventure. Maybe Crete will have more castles we can climb, if not I'll just go to a beach.hahah
