YA SAS! [Hello in Greek]

So I've been in Greece, for officially, a month and a half. It's crazy to think I've been gone this long but I dont think I would exchange this experience for anything. I've learned and seen so much since I've been here! I wouldn't be here though without the love and support from my friends and family, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for that.

So I just finished my first paper for my managment class and it was 10 pages [woot woot]. It was hard work to get that many pages on my topic but I got it done! =) My teacher didn't give us much criteria for this paper, no number of pages or what kind of information we needed to include, which is not what I am used to. At Eau Claire they tell you page length, how many sources you need, what kind of information to include, so without the structure I [and many of my American classmates] were confused as to how to approach our paper. Other wise my classes are pretty good. We've had a quiz and a paper in my marketing class and they were both 'refridgerator' material [aka I got a 100 and if i was at home I'd hang it on my fridge, but I have no magnets here and our fridge is tiny...haha] My art class and greek class are still my favorite and I'm learning so much in both classes. I'm understanding the locals a lot more and I can communicate better with them. I also CAN NOT WAIT until we go to Paris and we go to the Louvre so I can see all of the beautiful pictures I've only seen on slides in our art class =).

Speaking of spring break we only have 3 more weeks of waiting...YEAH! The week before spring break we are going on a trip with the school to Athens, so be expecting some pretty cool pictures from that. Also this Saturday we are going to the Rotonda and the Bysantine Museum , so more pictures to come from that as well. The Rotonda is one of the oldest standing buildings in Thessaloniki and inside, i've been told, there are beautiful mosaics that have been resently, just in the last year, been released to view for the public. You could always go to the Rotonda but there was construction going on from an earthquake that happened, I believe, many years ago.

So those are some key dates to keep in mind to check back for some cool pictures. Over spring break I'm not taking my computer so you may have to wait until I get back before I can post a lot of my pictures [sorry] but i know we will have lots of fun and I will have MANY things to tell you!

Also, If there is anything you would like to hear more about, something I've mentioned in past blogs or something you've maybe heard about, just let me know because I'm always looking for something to blog about.

Until Next Time,

Love,
Sarah
