I hate packing.

It's our last day in Athens and it's raining. Greece is crying for us!

I HATE packing. Hate, hate, HATE it. The only thing worse than packing, in my opinion, is UNPACKING. Bleh.

We took our Greek History final yesterday morning and then went back to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens to finish looking around. It's a huge museum though, unfortunately, much of it is closed off due to a shortage in staff. There are a lot of labor strikes going on right now in Athens- one being the public transportation. We're lucky Pangrati is pretty much within walking distance to everything we truly need.

We just had our Art History final this morning. I got an A+ on the Art History midterm so hopefully I'll do well on this exam too.

Since our plans for the day are somewhat on standby considering the weather (I was gonna go for a nice long run around the stadium, then all of us girls were gonna walk around PangratiPlaka, Monasteraki, go shopping, stuff our faces with baklava... ya know), we're going to get some packing done and wait it out. Hopefully things will clear up soon!!!

I am SO sad that it's our last day. I honestly can really see myself living and working here in Athens. There is just so much to do here in Greece, with over 2,000 islands, how could one ever get bored? It's official. After I graduate, and do a bit of traveling, I'm moving to Greece. Sorry Mum, Dad, but you'll just have to come and visit... or move too.

Tonight we have our graduation ceremony at the Athens Centre followed by a farewell dinner at a local Greek Taverna and then possibly staying out until 6 AM in Gazi seeing as we'll have a full 11-hour plane ride to catch up on some sleep.
