Psipsinel is still walking with just three paws. But I dont understand she isnt saying something when I touch it  and when she jumps down from things she doesnt say anything, and she climbs and plays like usual…I will wait and see.

 I sometimes think of my knowledge when I got here and now. I had in mind when I first got here that I would be so good after a year. So I am little dissapointed but still its nice to feel the progress. I feel now that if I would maybe be here three more years then I would speak and understand it almost fluently. It is an amazing but also a difficult language.

I have really enjoyed the weather the latest days with rain and thunder. Cozzzzyyyyyyy ! Even when it´s raining I am sweaty so it feels like torture to take on raincoat.

I loooooooove this article about Thessaloniki! I have saved it. And the book , I have read most parts of it! I appreciate the book a lot.!

I saw some news from the white tower in Thessaloniki. I havent been at Syntagma for a couple of days now. partly because of this but I havent had any ”buisness” (so wrong word but I cant find another one at the moment ) in that area either.
I sneeze, sneeze , sneeze, sneeze, I have a cold! H muth moy trexei!(my nose is running)
I came to think of soublaki. Not that I want one now. I came to think of it because I thought of elies (olives), I had an olive earlier and I spilled. And then I rememberd that I spilled soublaki on Christinas and Sakis couch. it wasnt any couch, it was a white couch. I could never have one because they make me nervous. I feel like Elizabeth in the serie ” Keeping up Appearances”. It’s so funny! She always gets nervous when she is drinking coffee at Hyacinths home with the nice cups. Haha…

Filakia!

Geia!

The easter…………. WOW! I am so happy that I cant explain! I celebrated a real Greek easter! I saw the preperations for the magieritsa, the sheep hanging in the kitchen and I saw its dead eyes staring. IIIIH ! After the church at night it was time for mageiritsa. And they poured up a huge plate of mageiritsa to me. I have to confess I wasnt so happy about a huge plate. Of course I was very curious of how it tasted! So I ate it. The person who had made it looked so happy when I was about to take my first spoon in my mouth. I I ate the soup very siga siga, (slow) so a person sitting next to me said all the time to me: ”faei faei faei faei faei” (eat eat eat) . Hahah and I answerd:” Trww, trww, trww, trww, trwww” (Im eating eating eaitng)
But it was interesting! The soup I mean! It was much better than I first thought and if I ever will celebrate a Greek easter there is a chance I will eat it again.

One evening when I was on my way home. I was feeling so easy that I decided to run. RUN! I never run! But this time I wanted to run so badly so I started to run. And you know what happend????? Just my luck… I FELL! GOOD LORD HOW MUCH IT HURTED. I scratched up my foot (not much but still) and some of my knee. At the same time it came a car driving and when the person saw I had fell he pushed the breaker so hard that you could hear the breakers in all corners of the world. He was fast as lightening out of the car, and wonderd if I was ok. And me, well when I saw the car stoped I got up the fastest I could from the ground. I smiled and said everything is fine, there is no scratch what so ever and I thanked him so much for asking. Inside I was screaming and almost crying : ”OUCH OUCH OUCH AJ AJ AJ AJ  how much it hurts!!!!” . I decided to walk home isntead of running … See running is no good for me.
But that was not my last running project! NO NO NO, if you think that then you are mistaken. One day the sky decided to turn out like a waterfall. It opens up. It poures: KAREKLEPODERA!!! So I started to run. I ran to make it home dry from the rain. Of course it was mission impossible, still I had some hope in me that at least one centimeter could make it dry. I had umbrella. But the umbrella was bad. It rained through it! And the water on the ground was like oceans! hahah I was wet in to my skin when I got back home.

This appartment was so dirty when I first moved in here. Even the windows was so full of dirt that I couldnt see through them. Now everything is shining because I cleaned it all. I really did! Took out every furniture and cleaned in every corner.

Gush I am so warm in this new appartment all the time. Here is no aircondition or fan. But the landlord  is very nice. I ran into him when I was going to take the elevator. He asked me how I had it and I said I felt very warm in the appartment. So the landlord brought a fan. I have it on all the time when  I am in the appartment. It feels like i have never experienced so much heat at least not for a so long time .  Before I go to bed I have to take an ice cold shower and  then I lay down infront of the fan.

I sometimes wakeup with Psipsinel trying to play with the fan………. There is no shelter on it so she plays with theese things that are spinning around. Well so do i too so I can’t blame her. BUT it’s really annoying when I want to sleep because it hears so loud when she does it.

I saw the biggest cockroach ever yesterday. Oh my God, it was so discusting and I am so happy that Psipsinel took care of it.

I am leaving the 25th of July to Sweden. Less then two weeks…  I got a mail from the next Swedish girl that will rent the appartment that I had this year. She asked me after advice and such. I almost wrote a book so much I had to say to her. I am so jealous that she will come and experience Greece …………………….huuu …… I am really sad about leaving. Αλλα τι μπορω να κανω?.. Of course to see my family is priceless!

J from class left to Spain last week. That was soooooooooooooooooo sad, one by one we are disapearing from Greece……….. Oh my god so sad it was. We had a little Goodbye party to him on his birthday.

Superman finns. Det ska jag bevisa i detta inlägg. Det finns kackerlackor också, därför slänger jag mina sopor varje kväll efter matlagning. Igår kväll när jag var på väg ut för att slänga soporna hörde jag att sopbilen kom precis i den stunden så jag bestämde mig för att vänta ett litet slag. Som tidsfördriv tog jag på mig min pyjamas eftersom det spelar ändå ingen roll vad man har på sig när man ska snabbt in och ut tänker jag (jag hade i alla fall inte på mig min kära morgonrock). Jag stänger dörren till min lägenhet, springer ner för trapporna och öppnar lägenhetsporten-  jag känner mig snabb och smidig, har både soporna och nycklarna i samma hand. Ut springer jag och slänger soporna- men soporna är inte det enda jag slänger. Där långt ner i den smutsiga stinkande soptunnan ligger tre andra soppåsar, min soppåse och mina nycklar. Och där står jag i bara pyjamas. Det kom en dam från mitt hyreshus, hon skulle  också slänga sopor och undviker som tur var att slänga sina nycklar. Jag säger till henne ” Ta kledeia moy!” Som betyder ”Mina nycklar!” Hon får syn på dem och blir alldeles till sig, hon skriker högt och viftar armar. En äldre man i mössa dyker upp från ingenstanns, detta är vår Superman,  han frågar vad som står till. Damen skriker att stackars flickan är från Sverige och har tappat sina nycklar i soptunnan. Ord och inga visor, han tar tag i hela soptunnan och välter den, det är ingen liten soptunna. Han tar sin anaptiras (tändare) och går in i tunnan med den för att kunna se. Han rotar omkring lite, damen skriker som om hon var på repeat ”PROSEKSE KYRIE”  (se upp herrn, försiktig herrn)  eftersom det ibland passerade bilar. Tydligen hade nycklarna fastnat i något skit bakom någon sopa. Han får fatt i dem, ger dem till mig och sedan försvinner han spårlöst. Slutet gott, allting gott. Vilken trevlig dam som var med mig hela tiden och vilket nyckeläventyr!

Mitt vardagsrum fylldes med röklukt. Då var det alltså dags för något som brann igen- ingen bil den här gången, utan sopor!

Det är svårt att tänka sig att Aten har en gång i tiden sett ut så här. Tänk vad det har ändrats!
