Week Seventeen: BitterSweet

Finals have come and gone and the study abroad students are packing up, saying goodbye. The week has been one of fulfilling "final requests" as though we were all on death row.

Beach.
Taverna.
Harry's Spot.
Beach.

Wine.

What a tough life having to bend to everyone's whims....

We went to one of the furthest beaches from Thessaloniki this week and spent a couple nights in a camper. It was the most beautiful beach and we had it almost all to ourselves. A couple modestly-sized campfires made from scavenged wood. Fire-roasted sausages and marshmallows. Reeses smores.

Sigh.


And now for something completely different....

Finals have come and gone! I am a graduate! No more pencils; no more books; no more teachers' dirty looooooooks!

Come one, come all! To the McGovern house on the 4th of July! There will be food, friends and merriment! A celebration of my joyous return to the States, my graduation, and my not-so-joyous entry into the "real world."

Be there or be square.


Smore-making.
