Hey Girls:)!

Yeah, true, true, I also forgot already all my Greek! I wanted to write a letter to Vassilis, but finally I wrote it in German, because it would have taken to much time...and nerves (which is much more important!). Still people ask me: Ah, say something in Greek! Ela re, that is not possible, how should I???
But, Jutta, it (he) sounds really nice! I am happy for you! For sure jealous, too, but alos happy. And I can tell you something about Jarno (gossip:)!): They went together to this festival where The Rasmus and...I forgot the name... played. And they are in the same semester, I think! But yet she didn't say something about her "new boy-friend". So, Eleni! We are waiting. If ever happens something to me (...), I will tell you immediately, ok?

And what is the best: Eleni doesn't communicate with us, but we still only write in English! I am proud of us!
So, have to go, my aunt will bring me a biiiiiig care-package, jippie! So I HAVE to be in time:)!
Filakia, koritsia!

Geia sas koritsia!

It's really hard for me to write Greek, because I forget everything right now (this is the answer to your question Geli, it's no Greek!).
What else can I tell you - I got to know him through the internet, but we spent 4 days with each other and now we know, that we fit quite perfectly. He's from the southest part in Austria (I really love their dialect there), but the damn thing about it is, that we live 4 hours away from each other. He is really nice, we have a lot of fun and can talk about everything. He is taller than me (!), plays ice hockey, does snowboarding,... But I should really stop it, perhaps he'll read it and he shouldn't get vain after such a bunch of compliments. The last thing I can tell you is, that I'm really happy. And his name is Martin.
So who is Jarno???

Filakia, Jutta

It's not possible!! hey, come on, it's already freezing in the nights!!! and it's october! ti ine avto? MALAKIES!!!
boyfriends-time?? don't know, here more relationships are going apart than together... but I can understand you, if everybody around is soooooo in love with a new "hasi" or "schatzi" it can be really annoying.
Suddenly only this counts and nobody has time any more to go for a nice coffee or something! oxi nice!
My personal hasi-schatzi is "snurr"-ing and "purr"-ing a lot in the last time... Don't know what to think about all this...
we'll see... we will meet on thursday next week and spend 5 days in köln. (because it's the cheapest city for us to be reached - not many else reasons)
What will happen there... I have no idea!
I mean from "everything is so dam complicated" and "I don't know about anything" he switched now to "I'll maybe search for a job in Austria to be close to you"...
I mean, yeah, would be really nice, not to say REALLY GREAT.... IF IT REALLY HAPPENES!!
... pah... yeah, we'll see....

MEN ARE COMPLICATED!!!! ... That's hat we learn from this! ;-)

But finally ola tha pane kala!

BUt you I really would like to hear more about Eleni's new man! Who else is interested? *g*... Alora, Eleni! NEWS!!! Parakalo!!!
And jutta also got a nex man? interesting.... a greek one again?? ;-) I guess that's also the reason why you didn't come to the Erasmus-Eschenbach-Party last Friday, hm? Whatever... you didn't miss a lot... it was dam hot in there!!!

Have a nice evening!
Filakia

Jesus,
I was away for one day and so many news...Not important ones :), but don't mind!
And why, damned, has everybody a boyfriend? Is boyfriend-time? My best friend here is also so in love now...! And I don't know, I think I am too busy in the moment, to think about such things!
But Geli, what is going on with Henri and you? Where do you wanna meet and when? Ok, Germany is big, but...

My problem in the moment is, I would like to go out, but nobody is in the mood: too cold, too busy, new boy-/girl-friend! H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E.:)! I don't wnna drink alone. Tomorrow we have -organized by the student residence club (!!!)- a barbeque! We'll see how it will be, with almost 0° outside!

Eleni: Good songs: Geia Sena from Michalis, but I can send it to you, downloaded it. Also some other songs.
And: Jutta: I will have a surprise for you... (:), huh, I'm excited!!!).
Have a great day
Yvonni

Hi Eleni!

It's the same for me, I don't know a lot about Graz, I spent my New Year's Eve there last year. But the people I know who studied in Graz really enjoyed the life there. It's more or less a student city and there exist a lot of pubs to go out not far away from each other. I think your friend will enjoy it there.

Filakia, Jutta

well, graats (graz) is quite a nice city. not so big as vienna, but that's not a bad thing for erasmus, I think.
I have been there also for one semester but finally I only know one (irish) pub there. But there are also a lot of universtiy-parties. (but I don't remember much about them... Why??)
Yes, what else?? They are having a lot of snow there - for austria, I mean, mut I guess, she'll be used to this.

hm... not much else to say.

Filakia

Hey Geli and Jutta, I just met a girl from my department who will go to Austria as Erasmus. She's going to Graats (the spelling is wrong for sure, but it's somewhere in South-East). Do you know anything about the city, I guess she would be interested.

Nice to hear from all of you! I'm also studying pretty much at the moment. Exams are coming and I have to make a presentation of my olive oil work in Greece till Friday! It was funny on Saturday, I was working for the presentation: eating Greek salad and writing about olive oil. dejavu! and yesterday I didn't eat Greek salad but I was listening to sakis:shake it. cool!

I borrowed Jarno's laptop for my work and now after one day of using it I've almost decided to buy an own laptop! It's so nice to work at home, and then I would also have an internet access at home, so I would write much more often to you, girls :)

Hey, by the way, I have a problem. I want to download Greek music from the internet (to Jarno's computer of course, he'll love it!) but I don't remember the names of any hit songs, aargh. H.E.L.P. M.E.!! All the famous hit songs on banana radio, I miss them...

Jutta, I'm sorry for your flu, I also caught a cold. It's my third day now that I'm just sniffing. boring, boring, boring... Let's get healthy again!

Tomorrow I have to go to work again. money, money,money. And on Thursday I'm going to see a physiotherapeut (not sure about my english). Let's see what she will say about my leg and my back, which have been aching more than one month now.

hugs
Eleni

Geia sas paidia!!!

Ti kanete?

I'm fine (more or less, after taking aspirin c). It's my first day in the lab where I will stay for 8 months now to do my diploma thesis. It'll be quite funny, because I worked here already for 6 weeks, so I know all the people.

The only thing that sucks, is, that I have a cold (and it's only october!!!). But I had a great weekend with my new boyfriend. I'm so happy, I'm so happy, lalala.

And did you realize, that it'll be less than 2 months until you'll come to Vienna? That's the reason why I'm already looking forward to Christmas time (it's like in Greece last year!!!).
Ok, that's it from me, I should at least look like I'm occupied (but it's my first day, so I don't really know what to do). Studying for my exam on Thursday would be a good idea, but I think I'll fail on purpose, because right now I don't have the nerves for studying.

Filakia, Jutta

Jassas!!!

Today I have my first day in the new semester and I'm already wrong! Great, isn't it? But don't mind. It was a lovely walk to come to the university, because it is really so cold here, but nice, because blue sky and the trees are coloured.
Damned Geli, I wanted to tell you something, it was quite important to me (funny, not frightening!), but -because of all the mess in the last half an hour- I forgot it!
Ah! I know! Last week I went for an excursion to Siegen (don't mind, you don't have to know it!) and I shared a room with a girl. She put the alarm clock for the next morning (half past 6!!!), but: Don't mind, because it was "Your" song- from the Siemens Mobile. You know, my favorite one! It was so good and I was in such a good mood the whole day!

So, I have to do some things now, even I have two days off now but then I can go for a coffee afterwards really relaxed:)!
Have such a nice day like I have:)))!
Yvonni

Ti kanete?
I'm always just studying my stupid finance-law things! Pfui, pfui!
But seems like you are also quite occupied in the last time, hm?
Yesterday I invited my lovely greeks to my place to drink coffee. Finally they stayed about 4 or 5 hours. Was really nice.
But then my bad concience crawled back and I went back to my INTERESTING books! (positive thinking!!!)
What's going on? I just saw on the news that in north germany it's already freezing... So, Eleni, do you maybe already have snow up there? It's really crazy. Exactely one week befor we had about 25° here, today it's been maybe 8°!!
I don't understand this. But anyway, I don't have much time to do other things than sitting at my desk.
The only tow things I'm really looking foward to is a short trip tp germany in about 10 days... (..to meet monsieur "L'amour"...) and of course your visit in the beginning of december!!!! Jipppiiieee!! *g*

Hope you are all fine!
Filakia pola!!

Hey girlie!

Okay, I should work on my presentation (it really starts to go on my nerves!), but don't mind!

Geli, I have also no money in the moment. Problem: I work a lot, but I will get it in November, the earliest! No, no, not good! And yesterday we went out (have you ever drunk RUMTOPF with orange juice? So great!), and -damned- I spent a lot of money, with the result, that we were back at home at 2, because so drunk and tired! Not good. For the next weeks: Save money!

Have a nice -and like here- sunny day
Yvonni

... to come to Helsinki!
Arg! But I still don't know if it will be possible!

At the momebt I'm sitting in my office. (new law office - other one than in summer.)
nice people here - and only 10 hours a week.
but soooo little money! Pfui! I shouln't think about it!

Filakia ja ola koritsia!

Hey Eleni!

I thought it first, too, that everybody of you is so busy and I sit at home, watching TV and take care of our household at home!
But I didn't mind!

But now: CHANGE! I can move to my flat on friday, even the painter will come in the middle of the month, so I can't put all my furniture into the room. But i don't mind. I will only take my matress and ... yeah, that's it. And my lacrosse-raclett! Great, great!
But I like it, to be busy. Even this presentation is going on my nerves because I should finish it till tomorrow and I don't think I will get it!
Today I had my first day at the hospital for the study. And the guy, who did it, was really nice and funny and so we had a lot of fun this morning. I am really looking forward for the next test (Incl.: pregnance test!).
Have to work again!
And Eleni: Wait till January, then you can't sit at home every evening, I swear! Is somebody else coming to Helsinki?

Have a nice day like I have :)

You all seem to be so stressed and I'm wondering if I should do something useful... Right now I'm spending my days sleeping till too late and in the evenings I'm just watching tv (again sth that I could't do in Greece). Well, today I'll start to go to gym again. I've had some annoying problems with my foot so I haven't been able to do any sports for a long time.

Last two days I've spent by waxing my floor and cleaning my windows, what a job! But now almost everything is done :)

I don't know where is my great motivation to study, I lost it already. Some weeks ago I came to library every day to study but now I don't even go to all of my lessons. Well, what can I do if they are boring, boring, boring and sleeping is para poli kalitero!!! :) From tomorrow on I'll start to study again. perhaps.


Xalarate with your stresses :)
Eleni

Ti kanete?

I'm sorry but I have to complain a little bit as well. I'm responsible for 3 ERASMUS students and 2 of them didn't get a room even though they did their application in time. It's really strange, that it was possible to get a room in Greece, but it's not here in Austria!!! That's why I have a German guy in my flat now (unfortunately there are no Greeks at my university...).

I can really understand what Geli means - I should study for my exam on Friday, I have to care for my ERASMUS students, I want to meet my friends in Vienna now and I got to knew an Autrian guy who really seams to be nice and handsome, so I also spend a lot of time just for thinking! All quite cool things, but too many.

Filakia, Jutta

you know the feeling that suddenly everything is out of control? .. I mean it doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad but it feels you can't influence things any more ...
For me it's a bit like that at the moment...
I have a lot of stuff to do.. working, studying, organizing stuff on university, and nice things like riding, meeting people... I'm not sleeping too much in the last time and I'm tired!
Bua! I'm only complaining, sorry. In fact everything is ok, but just too much!!!
Yesterday I met my little sweet greek children!
SOOOOOO nice! Already when I talked with the boy on the phone it was so nice because I heard the English with Greek accent since really a long time again and it sounds really sweet!!
Finally I met them (and to discover the mystery... Rodopi is a girl!) and they are really nice. Not very typical greek (from the styling at least) but really cool!

Hope you are all fine!
Filakia

Now Jutta would be glad, because now nothing happens here! Tse! But I can understand it, because everything is -how Geli said- done!
Here I get really stressed in the moment: suddenly I have to finish my presentation, I have to work (or I wanna work) a lot, then, big mistake, I said, I would join my lacrosse-team for a match on sunday. Huuuaaarrr, I haven't played for more than one year! Great, Yvonni, well done!
And then next week I can move to my new flat, I hope. Today I signed the contract and we went for a coffee (coffee-drinking is so great, even they don't offer Frappe here!) alltogether (that means all people who gonna live in the flat). It was really nice and I think it will be quite cool in my new home!

Hope you all are well,
Yvonne

hey eleni!
I just booked your trains! They will send the tickets to you and ... I have no idea when they will arrive in Finlandia. But before beginning of december I hope! ;-)
It's really soooooo cool!!! I'm really looking foward to see you all again and to have you here in this town!!
AAAAAAHHHHH!!! THIS IS GONNA BE COOOL!!! *gg*

Ah, yes, for sure... what I also wanted to say... of course we also have some sleeping possibilities here in the flat... 2 double-couches, another single bed, ... the second half of my bed... ;-) Whatever you like...
But anyway... I don't think we're gonna sleep a lot! *g*

Hey girls!

This is soo cool! Now I have a aim to work to (correct english?).
But finally I will have a lot of work in the next time. Next week I can move to my new flat (jippie!!!) and then I have 2 jobs now and I make a medical study at the university hospital (don't worry, it is not dangerous, and I get a lot of money!). The reason is: I found out, I have to block seminaries and then my study project. That's it for the next semester. Great, isn't it? So I have a lot of time to work. And I think I really need the money to travel around. And next summer there is a excursion to New Zealand, where I would like to go to! But let's see!

Filakia,
Yvonni

oK, I just booked my flights to Frankfurt. I'll be there on wed 1.12 at 17:50. Now I only need Geli's help for the trains. The thing is that I don't have a credit card,so could you pay the tickets and I would transfer you the money with on-line banking? would be perfect! And I have to be back in Frankfurt on Wed 8.12 at 12:20. Anyway,the trains you told me about, are ok for me. Tell me if you can buy the tickets for me. If they can send them to me, my address is : Helena Jaakkola, Talonpojantie 19/204, 00790 Helsinki, Finland. THANK YOU.

I'm already so exited :)

Helena
