So I went to the Academic Center in hopes of paying my deposit and picking up my books today, but Accounting is closed until 11, which means I have free timeeee!
So I thought I would sit on my gorgeous balcony and talk to you. It's probably 40 degrees out right now, but it doesn't bother me because I mean, it's 17 degrees at Dartmouth today. Athens is bustling. There are cars flying down the street (people drive with no respect for their own lives here - and the motorcycles are even worse!!), babies peeking out windows, laundry floating in the breeze, and people's voices muffled underneath everything else. I've never been in a place so filled with other people, and it's kind of like what people say about "love": "You can't feel it but you know it's there." Well, I can't see the people who live adjacent to me, across or down the street, but I know they're there.
I wonder who's on strike today. I'll probably find out when I walk down a commercial street and all of the shops that sell the same goods are closed, like the pharmacies yesterday.
Ooohh! Cats meowing, babies crying. The city may be finally waking up. Many more cars, and a cold breeze, so I think I might go inside. I kinda keep thinking since they warned us about petty theft, that someone is going to Spiderman onto my balcony and rip my laptop out form under my fingertips.
I have irrational fears sometimes. But now I do my nails.
