Monday:
Watched the sunrise from the bus on my way to school.
Enjoyed a home-cooked Greek meal in return for a violin lesson
Tuesday:
Watched the sunrise from the bus on my way to school.
Boosted my self-confidence
Left school, admiring the beautiful grounds
Wednesday:
Watched the sunrise from the bus on the way to school.
Discovered that the "on-campus chapel" is a gorgeous Byzantine church that is hundreds of years old.
Beautifully tucked away a mere three-minute walk from my house.
Thursday:
Friday:
Got home from a tiring week and was looking forward to sinking into the couch...only to find, when I tried to open my front door, that the lock had broken.

Saturday:
Sunday:
This seemed like a bit of a drag for a Sunday morning, but the day was saved when we found out that there was *free* catered lunch! Our shift was technically over at 1, but we all opted to stick around until it was served at 2.
And then got a little sun in the not-so-atmospheric but less-mosquito-y option on campus, next to the academic building.
