heat wave

It is officially HOT here in Athens.

It hit 100 today and will probably stay at or above that line for the next week.

I dropped my International Relations class this morning, and my exchange with the registrar went something like this:

Me: I need to withdraw from my class

Her: But aren't you only taking one class

Me: Yes

Her: But you paid for six credits

Me: Actually, I didn't pay for anything

Her: blank stare

Me: My mom works at the main campus, so I get a tuition waiver.

Her: You got a discount?

Me: No, I didn't pay for the tuition.  Just the apartment.

Her: Oh.  So why are you dropping the class?

Me: I can't take it. I'm interning, so I'm just going to do more internship hours instead of taking the class.

Her: Okay, I mean, I guess I'll do it then.

I swear I'm not crazy.

Now that I have my nights free (seriously, 8-10pm class is the worst idea ever), I'm going to be planning excursions for the rest of the Odyssey students.  And now, I'm headed to the new Starbucks in Plaka for a little 'me' time.  I need to get all these voices (aka, the other 11 girls living in my apartment) out of my head.

Ashley, your advice was priceless.

I think I laughed for about 15 minutes straight.

You should put a section in your guidebook called Etiqute for living in large numbers. The only thing it should say is: Shut the fuck up.:)

I totally picked up the phone to call you to ask you something today but than I remember that you're in Greece.

Above comment: funny! :)
