Moments after arriving in Thessaloniki


Feb. 2-thessaloniki, first night

What am I doing here? The flight from Zurich to Thessaloniki went so quick. I got my baggage, Dausus picked me up, we talked for a little bit in the car on the way to the apartments. He showed me up to my room, showed me how to turn on the water heater (Not nearly enough water for even one short shower), he told me the plans for tom., handed me the keys and said “Ya sas”. So now I am lying in my single bed. I showered with barely enough hot water. The bed is made. The room is bare. I’ve got my thoughts and music to keep me company. I am just hoping I can fall asleep quick. Wo, the light in my room just went off but luckily it was just me hitting the switch behind me with my head. Close one.

I have no idea where I am. The apartments are tucked away in this village part of the city. The balcony looks out into a small parking lot-like court yard with 3 other buildings reaching up. Gyro Island already flyered the place. I thought about going to find it to eat but I thought I better just stay in tonight.

I had to partially unpack one of my suitcases to get sheets out and that meant finding a picture of Courtney. I immediately got sooo sad and lonely. Where are you babe? I know it will get better with time. I just think, if I hadn’t chosen to do this, I would prolly be right next to her right now. I know there is a bigger picture to it and plus we will snuggle down in no time. I love you babe.

What else, everything is just so new. I need to get out and get familiar with SOMETHING. Like I said, I am just hoping to fall asleep soon and start tom. out. More people will be coming tom. and I just think about back in the dorm days. I never felt lonely because everyone is looking to make friends. I think it is just the fact that I am the ONLY one in the building.

That is it for now. I will get to my day in Zurich tom.
