so its been a whole damn month here in Chania. i remember starting off with a panic attack, and then very swiftly moulding into complete calmness. and that is exactly how i feel now, my last night here. just plainly calm. i have learnt so much, from what i have studied, but more so from the people i had the fortune of meeting. days have treated well, afternoons with jewellery sales men and honey raki, or getting treated to half a bottle of wine by a smitten restraunt owner, or connie and me pigging out on greek food and mythos, or christy and i driving around getting lost in crete, oggling at anything on a motorbike. or even teressa suddenly vanishing to turkey, imbalancing the group dynamic, or the same module that all three of us flunked. i have skinny dipped in the middle of the night, snorkled with fish in the glitterling mediterranean, taught english to greeks, pakistanis, albanians, i suntanned in the buff, walked through ruines, made friends with two old jewellery salesmen, ate the best food and drank way too much, drove around crete and got thoroughly lost, made it a morning ritual to flirt with the bakery boy, walked mindlessly through chania with no destination or intent on arriving anywhere, sang to myself in an empty stadium and chased mountain goats into trees.
im getting in sync. and im as ready as i could be.
Athens tomorrow, and then, who knows!
