Rain, Rain, Go Away (by this weekend please!)

Today was a Monday. I woke up after a very vivid dream and I don't remember what it was about but it made my morning weird. I dream every night here and they're always strange; I am not a fan. I used to want to have dreams because I almost never dreamed, but that would be fine with me now haha.

In Greek class, my teacher told us we're having our final exam on Thursday, so we were all pretty excited. (That was sarcasm, in case you missed it). Then we had dance class and practiced the dances we'll be performing at our farewell party this Friday. I think the week off of dance class legitimately helped me learn them better because it was even easier than normal. Lunch was sketchy fish and I had salad and bread. In the afternoon, I buckled down and spent a couple hours studying which felt very productive. It's also reassuring that everything our Albanian professor has talked about is online, but in more detail and more coherently. In Albanian class, we learned about 1940s Albania. It was a pretty typical class, but I'm liking the more modern information because it relates to my knowledge of history, so what we're learning makes more sense. After, I went on a run with Anna and Katlynn. It was challenging. We ended at the cafeteria for dinner and, lucky us, it was either squid and rice or octopus and pasta. We had salad and bread again, but with feta cheese this time. We ate with Taso and had a nice conversation, but then we walked back to the dorm in the rain, which was less nice. I'm much happier now that I took a hot shower and put on dry sweats.

Here's a group picture from last week's field trip so you can see our whole group!
