another day it is indeed.....
someone said im gloom and doom so ill try to be more happy. sometimes these transitional phases are hard and frustrating though!!! perhaps this is a venting place or something for me. either way, things will get better and more comfortable, slowly yes, but rest asssured.
here are a couple details that need mentioning:
apparently my dad tried calling me w/the numbers i put up, and i need to make a one digit change, instead of the (001) at the beginning, from the states you should call (011) . apparently this works so ill post that here. everything else is the same as a previously posted. :)
if you want to send me mail (!!!), which takes a couple weeks, here is my address at the center where we collect all our mail:
Christine McCann - student
C/O DIKEMES
5 Pl. Stadiou
GR 116 35 Athens GREECE
LIZ: those pics from my bday would be nice to see.....
anyway, thanks everyone for all your emails here and there, i miss u all. :)
Today, i sat w/one of my roomies, kellie,a nd 3 new ppl. one girl named Lila,who is maybe the shyest person ive met so far, but she seems to feel alot of the things i do so far so we got along. she's from a school outside new york. lotta folks from around there it seems.
last night i wandered around w/someone leaving the center at the same time as me, jake. he wanted to find poker chips, so we wandered around Syntagma Square, a district of athens (like nicollet mall downtown mpls) and found nothing. lots of porn playing cards, (nastly ones!eeeeeew!) but no chips. this guy wants to go to seminary, so he was a lil interesting to talk to, but very spacy- so i dont think ill talk to him too much. it was nice to get out though and spend some time in the city!
i dont think my roomate kellie sleeps. she's not like my awful roomie cassie last year, kellie was in bed after midnight and has been up b4 dawn everyday so far- 545am today. blaaaaahhhh!!
so tonight i might try to climb up the acropolis, (we can see it out our cafeteria/lounge windows!!!!!), and take a looksie down at the city and maybe look around the area too. i have an awesome greek site/museum pass that only excavators get (from this summer) that's good forl ike, ever, and so i can get in everywehre for free, while other kids have to pay all the time. maybe ill drag someone along w/me.
sounds like i might be getting a posse to follow me to instanbul too; alota kids are interested in going to turkey over the oct. holiday! would be relaly nice to have company on the 20hr bus ride!
well, im off for today
here's a funny link if u wanna laugh:

Chris,
I for one much enjoy reading the blog. Keep up
the flow of info, and best of luck (with roommates
especially) as you settle in.

Hi Chris!! Mmmmm, Milko... I miss Greece. Hope you get settled in quickly & enjoy the sightseeing. Take care!

I agree with Erin. Milko sounds fabulous. I'm not sure about how to get pictures yet, I'll work on it.
