I’m such a pathetic blogger. It’s been a week in Athens and I’ve written more in our party journal (yes we need one to remember our nights) than here. But it’s better late than never right so here it goes:
I’ve probably drank more bottles of wine in this week than I ever have in my whole life. My week in Athens included a black eye, a police escort, projectile vomiting, tzatziki sauce (fuckin’ delicious), hookup drama and stalking by stray animals. I’m not saying all of this happened to me- but let me just say this, I’m living with some ridiculous people and this is going to be an unforgettable 4 months. I’m pretty sure if I went back tonight- I could beat every study abroad story ever told. It’s week 1 and I’m beyond excited for what’s to come. But let me give a short description of the type of people I’m living with and save a description of Athens for my next blog:
I live with 4 completely different girls who study in the states. We actually drove out 1 roommate already because apparently “ya’ll are too crazy for me.” Haha can’t blame the girl, but I think we are just trying to live it up all day err day. I got the only single in our 3-bedroom-apartment, which is 5 minutes from school, because I’m ballin’ like that. The other 4 girls go something like this, in no particular order-
Kelsey the SoCal hypochondriac who thinks she can get pregnant without intercourse. Don’t say the word ‘herpes’ around her unless you want to watch extreme agitation. She’s the type you can’t help but like and who makes you weep uncontrollably with laughter. Whether we are laughing at her or with her is difficult to tell- but she’s a keeper and is full of quotable quotes.
Grace the SanFranciscan free spirit who does what(who) she wants when she wants. We have similar habits (and vaginas- don’t ask how I know) and she probably has more energy than RedBull. She’s the girl who gets the boy who all the other girls want, but she’s just biding her time for the ultimate prize: A Greek boy who understands that dinosaurs are the coolest creature that ever existed. I see you baby.
Corey, another SoCal sorority girl who chows down on nutella like it’s her job. She’s the girl who knows everyone and has 6 degrees of separation down to an art. When she doesn’t like you- her eyes keep it blunt, and when she’s feeling you, you can hear her laugh echo through the building. She’s the latest recruit to the crew but she’s already one of us. May God be with her.
Christina is the blond one from Boston who fulfills the phrase ‘an angel on the outside, devil in the inside.’ If you look at any pictures from Athens- she’s the one who looks like you want to adopt her and shield her from the world. Don’t be fooled- she’s fucking insane. As in middle child syndrome hardcore. I don’t know what goes on in her head but all I know is she’s my kind of crazy.
It must have been fate that we live together. Let’s hope the honeymoon never ends.
