It is crazy for me to imagine that in almost one month I will be home. This entire experience has been something I will not be able to forget. I do not want to be extremely sentimental, I mean I am not done yet. I still have more to do and more to see. However, this very minute I am watching Hercules, which only seems logical since I’m heading to Greece tomorrow. I guess you could say I have never been more excited in my entire life. I wish I could sound like a normal person and explain something interesting that happened in the past week, but discussing my various presentations and assignments does not seem enticing. I am not quite sure me discussing Doric columns is any better but to each his own.
The one thing that is becoming really nice is the weather, and I say that knowing the East Coast is getting hit with hail and snow and whatever else. I feel strange about discussing the weather, it’s that awkward small talk that possibly never leads to the main course of the discussion. But I have learned that there are cultural differences when it comes to the weather I never knew existed. This week I was walking around and I spotted a woman in a knee-length fur coat. The temperature was about 70 degrees and I was roasting just by looking at her appearance. People walk around with huge jackets on in warm weather and then I am the one to get the weird looks. It’s all very strange to me. When I walk around there is a combination of people wearing these large, puffy coats and then people in sandals. I am not sure how the weather will progress when it comes to the weird looks that I could possibly receive, but I can only assume that it could get better.
