The sound of a saxophone feels so sweet to my ear. It always calms me down. So thank you to the random saxophone player in front of the Acroplis Metro Station.
Today was a rough day...
Missed meeting my Athens on Site group by ten min so i completely missed class. (the up side the Metro was free today :-) )Went to the market and got lost. Was late to my Greek class and then proceded to find out the I know no grammar thus making it comletely impossible to learn another language…great. Now for a 5 page paper due tomorrow. ugh :-(
Goodmorning!
Frosties for breakfast now off to the market for fresh fruits. :-)
Today in Greek Class...
So today in Greek class our teacher when through the whole class and told us about our names and how Greeks celebrate Name Days (like American Birthdays). Most were named after some saint or had meaning. I found out that I am named after a country…I win.
