i use that title a lot ive realized. it makes me feel cool. like im in the military, or in the middle of something bigger then myself. really im just sitting in my hallway outside of melissa's room trying for the life of me to get internet. Thomson, the trusty unsecured wireless we steal 24/7 had decided to get us back for last weeks "shrieking at 3am cause we were locked out" thing (just a theory that sounds better then we are getting sucky service from the network we steal internet from) and has made the internet pretty much impossible to get anywhere other then melissas room. she is sleeping hence why i am on the cold floor instead of her on her ultracomfy bed. anyway that is part of my update. a lot of emails and ims ect are not getting answered due to my stupid internet connection. keep sending them though. maybe Thomson will love us one day again and i will get internet back (fingers cross it will be SOON!)
this week has been going very well. lots of sleeping and lounging after our long weekend. i forgot to mention that the girls and i accomplished one of our goals. to "be greek" we couldnt flake and go to sleep early (must admit thats usually me who wants to call it a night first, I take after my mother and after a few drinks the men of my dreams seem to be the only men i care to see. but instead we held fast and while on hydra attempted to do it the Mediterranean way. we stayed at the beach until about 530 and spent an hour walking back, followed by an hour of coffee and snacking (snacking meaning toast which is actually grilled cheese with some kind of coldcuts inside, i dont know if they actually know our concept of toast?) we realize this "snack and coffee time" around 630-730 was key to the greek diet, because it allowed them to not die of starvation before they went out to eat at 1030. YES 1030 PM. We then spent 2 1/2 hours eating, which wasnt hard because we talk for 2 of them, eat slowly and in all honesty even speed eating wouldnt get you outta there in under an hour because the service is so bad. okay sorry. SLOW AND GREEK. okay not slow. just different. anyway we ended up bar hopping around town for 3 hours (easy) and ended up visiting our waiter friends for some wine, loukamades, and wedding cake (all for free!). when strolling home around 415, we still were hungry (amazing i know, we did walk about 3 miles that day though) and we pretty annoyed when the bar that stayed open "all night & all day" was closed (false advertising). but in amazement i saw a door open along a small alley and noticed it was leading to a bakery we had wandered into during the day. it cant be? open? 415 am? I ran to it so fast melissa and jayna didnt really understand what i was seeing. the baker had just opened his door to start making fresh things for the coming day (hes starting his day as we are ending it, irony) so we got fresh apple pie and ham and cheese pie. oh so good. we walked home slowly climbing the steps to our humble villa (okay guest house but villa sounds so much nicer, and in reality it was really nice! look at the pictures!) and we're asleep by 5 am. mission accomplished.
that was a long story. i know i write a lot. loyal readers you are commended. skimmers, oh i know who you are.
classes this week have been great. genuinely interesting. and my clicklit book is really keeping me entertained. i dont have a tv you know? i think i said that before. anyway so chicklit is my new survival guide. i took out plato from the library (when in rome right?) but its somewhere under my bed. as im halfway through my 500 book about 4 british women who all love the same dashing charming bloke. its too easy.
no homework tonight. im a lucky girl. we meant to go out, but melissa passed out before we could make plans (long weekend as i explained above) and now ive just had a great evening relaxing, reading, and lounging in my awesome euro sweatpants (better then legging i swear). love and miss to all
