Wednesday was really boring! In Finland I'm always coming or going to same place. I rarely have a time that I really don't have anything to do. If I'm not at school I'm working. Maybe I just have to start enjoying that I have nothing to do or no plans. I can do whatever I feel like doing! :) I woke up in the morning and left to T.E.I school to meet some member of the ESN to get the ESN card. The guy was this nerd boy and I got the card and he showed me to the international office where I tried to get some answers to my questions like when does my greek language studies start or when do I get the discount paper for public transportation. Apparently I can only registerate to the school on 6 of March! That's just stupid I think since my practical training starts on the first..! Well anyway nothing happens before the sixth. Then it was noon and I had nothing to do! It rained almost the whole day so I wasn't the eager to go wander around the city. In the evening there would have been this Athensmus animal party with a dresscode: animalistic.. I decided not to go since the bar would have opened up at 12 and I was too tired + I absolutely would not had had anything to wear! :D
A nice wake up in the morning. And the french balcony doors are closed, so that well you can hear all the noises from the street.
Yesterday morning I slept late and left out to have a walk and to try to find a place where to buy stamps! Apparently a lot easier said than done. There is a post office at the syntagma sq. (where all the riots and demonstrations happen) so I wasn't that eager to go there. Pretty near my place I found a some kind of post but when I went in it was so full of people that I decided that I'll try some other time! At 4 pm I met my Greek friend Xenofon who actually was in Finland to do his Erasmus period one and a half years ago. :) It was nice catching up with him and it was a bit hilarious since the last time we saw I had said that I wish I could come to Athens to do my Erasmus and practical training and now we met under the Akropolis! :)
Then I talked on skype with my mom and dad and also with Lotta. :) Then it was a nap time since I was planning to hit the Crazy Masquerade party in the evening.. I wasn't quite sure if I would stay awake until the party starts at 11 pm. My flatmate and the girls next door decided not to go so I wasn't that eager to leave there alone BUT I did go. Even to my surprise.
At the Kerameikos metro station I spotted a guy who had been in the Akropolis event also. We were the first ones there along with three Greek girls who were the planners of the event and we waited around 60 minutes before we went inside the bar (no one else had arrived). People had nice and fun costumes on (when they arrived around 12-2 am) and, well, the party was okey. I can't say I really really enjoyed myself since I really didn't have anybody with whom I would have been there. You might think that why didn't she go and talk with people and have fun with them. Well, of course I talked with people but at first when I don't know them (some of them I wasn't even that eager to get to know to..) I'm really shy and I can't really totally be myself. And I only drank two small beers so that didn't help either for getting courage. :D I took a taxi home around 2.30 am when I got too bored watching girls with miniskirt way too drunk. :D
Today I had planned to sleep late but I woke up before 9 am. I cleaned my room, did some laundry and left out to enjoy the sunshine. I walked to the nearest post office where I waited for 35 minutes to get couple of stamps to my letters.. After I went to sit to the nearby park, read the letter I received from Lotta and laughed aloud, read some greek and tried to figured out my practise program for next week. People stared at me 'cause I only had a t-shirt on and I was putting on some sunlotion while other people had their jackets and scarfs on.. C'mon it was +15 and cloudless sky! Then I decided to go to Lidl as it was really near also. Then I came home to fix some food and rest a bit.
Then I head out again to just walk and enjoy the buildings, smells and the athmosphere of Athens and most of all Pagrati streets. I went to this supermarket AB and took my time to just wander around the shelves and see what there really is. All things started to make sence, I started to find the same things I'd normally buy in Finland. :)
In the evening I spoke on skype with my sister and mom. I send emails to the hockey girl and to my school in Finland. My first hockey practise could actually be on Monday morning at 7.30 am. I'm so excited and also a bit nervous since the carnival trip to Patras is going to end around 4 am.. But I think I can manage to stay awake! :D Hopefully!
