One month to go before moving to Athens!

Hello you all (four or less) readers of my blog! :D 

When I write this it's less than a month for my exchange period in Athens to start and I'm getting more nervous by the day. I'll try not to talk about it that often since I know that it makes my friend Lotta sad every time I even mention it. The weeks are just flying by and I've got so much to do before leaving like getting all the school things done, booking a hairdresser, ordering more contactlenses, seeing everyone before I go, passing all the exams, earning some money and of course practise hard and win some games. :) 

My friend sometimes calls me Monica from the FRIENDS tv serie since I'm so organized and, well, like Monica in many ways. One day we had psychiatry lessons together at school and we found a personality behaviour that was just like mine. It was called demanding personality.. Typical signs are: conscientiousness, pedantry and perfectionism.. On some levels that is just like me. I want to plan and know things before hand and I'm not such a big fan of surprises. So, being said that I really need to start growing some patience since I've heard and seen that nothing gets done that fast or effectively in Greece..  

After opening up that much I can tell you that I'm a bit nervous about some things (..still..). I haven't heard anything from the T.E.I school even though I emailed to them asking if everything is fine and if my paperwork was done. No tutor has contacted me. Nor I have heard anything for the ice hockey thing which I still don't know what to do.

I've started to think more about the practical training place which I still don't know where to I'm going. On same paper (which my international coordinator had forgotten to show me) said that I've got two days musculoskelatal and one day neurological rehabilition. That leaves four free days a week of which one is probably taken for the language course. Hopefully I'll meet people to get the time go past or otherwise I'm gonna spend all the free time in the gym.

To choose to study overseas takes a great deal of courage and consideration. In my case the consideration part took years.. I had to invest to my finance, time and effort. I've tried to work really hard to get money so I woudn't have to worry about the money in Athens. Effort was a bit bigger piece because of all the school stuff I had to do on my own to get all the credits fullfilled. On the other hand the decision to spent and live a little over three months abroad wasn't that big, I mean it's really only three months. It's gonna be part of my degree and hopefully I'll learn a lot both in profession and in life. It can be a life-changing experience. It will broaden my education on some way at least and it will definitely develop my confidence believing in myself and also my independence. I can never know what doors the experience opens and the new ideas I get for the future.
