Building Friendships
May 26, 2015
Today was our last lecture over the Greek Legal System by Lambrini Nassis and it was such a fantastic lecture. I thought that she was absolutely brilliant and it was definitely interesting learning about her life, because she actually has a dual citizenship in New York and Greece. Ms. Nassis was so inspirational, because she actually worked in New York and gave up a well paid job to come to Greece so she could pursue her dream. The reason why she decided to do so was, because she would rather work for a lower paid salary and be happy than working for a high paid salary and be miserable. After her lecture, she gave us some really good insight on life and I was really glad that we were able to meet her.
After class and debriefing, Rosa got us these "magical" ice cream sandwiches and it was absolutely fantastic. Then, we all split up into different groups since everyone wanted to do something different so I went with a small group and got some rotisserie chicken, which was delicious, and then we headed to the market. My plate of food was only 4.90 € and it was definitely worth it. Before we arrived at the rotisserie chicken place, I was able to bond with Hailey, because we have talked for a couple of times, but it was never in depth so I wanted to have the chance to talk to her and get to know her a little better. It was really cool, because she opened up to me and in just a short hour I knew so much about her and I have never heard her talk so much either!
After lunch, we went to the market and it was so much fun. Some of us wanted to do some last minute shopping here before we left since we heard Athens was extremely expensive. So while we were shopping we stopped at a waffle place for mini waffles and ordered a "Blackforest," little did we know that it would be covered completely with chocolate. Aside from the chocolate coma, it was absolutely delicious. The worker was so nice to us and it always surprises me how nice everyone is here.
Today is our second to the last day here, and I will most definitely be sad when we have to leave tomorrow. I have had such a wonderful and amazing time here in Greece, and I would not trade this experience for anything in the world. Thank you Horizons, ISA, and Greece for such an incredible time!
XOXO,
