First Night

So it's 7:37 in the morning here in Athens (12:37 am for you guys at home.) I arrived in Athens last night a little after 6pm local time; unfortunately couldn't see much since it was getting dark. I'm living in an apartment with 4 other girls. The apartment has 3 singles and a double - guess who's in the double?? Yup guess I should've gotten here earlier. But I'm sure it will be ok, my roommate seems really cool so far and overall we have one of the biggest apartments you can have (good sized living room, which a lot of apts don't have.) 4 of us living together are new this semester, then we have one girl who was here last fall which is good because she knows where everything is.

Let's see, so after arriving at the apartment by taxi, I basically just hung out with my suitemates and a couple of other people from CYA. We left the apartment to pick up some calzones (which were DELICIOUS) and wine (huge bottles for like 3 euro!) and stayed in eating, drinking, and getting to know each other. It was fun and mellow; we couldn't bring ourselves to go out, not with how tired everyone was. 

Today will be my first full day in Athens. I can't wait to explore!
