Geia sas!

It's funny, but I'm already in a big christmas mood too, like last year. I don't know why, but I'm really looking forward to the 15th of November when the christmas market in Vienna will open, normally I hated to go there until the first advent sunday. I already put the light chain I bought in Thessaloniki in my living room and it looks great!!!
Last sunday I had to think of you Yvonne, do you remember what happened last year at the time change at Olymbos???
Wish you all a nice day and kala christougenna *gg*.

Don't worry, I don't begrudge (great word, eh?) the parties to you, Geli! Perhaps, if my friends wouldn't be so lazy here, it would be similar to me, but they are and I don't mind. Probably it is also the weather, cold, rainy, shitty:)!

I think I miss a bit the good old Greek times, but on the other hand I don't mind. A friend of mine says always that this is my biggest probleme: I never mind about anything :). Probably true, but what can I do???

I am really looking forward to Vienna (hopefully in white!) and you and the x-mas-market, the Glühwein and so on. In the moment I am really in a big x-mas-mood, probably also because of the weather!?!?!?!

Have to do now still some things for uni, and tonight: Geoparty. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah (you remember?). And, Geli, I will give my best to the commemoration of Thessaloniki, I swear:)!

hey!
felt a bit strange when I ready your story yesterday... a bit bad in fact... cause my weekend was something like exactely the opposite of good-bye to the wild times.
I went out on saturday - on a housewarming-party with about 30 19-year-old we-are-just-starting-university-boys and girls and you can imagine.. those young ones are still really enthusiastic in getting drunk (and stoned) and so was I on that evening... finally I nearly had to throw up on my way home and got lost and confused with the night-busses so that it took me about one and a half hours to get back home...
but that was not enough! ... on sunday I went out again... on a tequila party of my greek girl... ok, in the morning of sunday I didn't like the idea to drink again at night but... just like in good old greece.. during the day my mind changed and finally I went there and had quite a lot of fun...
I fear I'm not yet much cleverer than in saloniki...
but at least I'm also studying besides my excessive going-out-life...
so I'm not feeling too bad..

you know what? The weatherforekast said that it will maybe snow alreday on the coming weekend in vienna!!!! Impossible! But in fact I'm looking foward to a bit of nice white! But also now... I really like the landscape around vienna.. thousands of red and yellow vine-yards! really pretty!! I LIKE! :)

Have a nice week girls... and don't forget... today is "Sex and the city" on TV!! ;-)

... ok, yvonni, it's quite the contrary to farenheit yesterday - which was really good I think, shocking but good ... but we also need some entertainment I'd say...

Today, even it was a holiday in my part of Germany, I had to go to the university. Jippie!!!
You can imagine how my mood is! But today I wanna only stay in front of my television and watch Fahrenheit 9/11 (because of the american election they show it already in the German TV). Sooo nice. I mean, I have so many other things to do, but today I don't mind.
Tomorrow we will have our geo-party (from the department geo-science: landscape ecology, geography, geoinformatics), and it will be -hopefully- a really good party.
But in the last weeks I found out that my "wild time" is over, I think. I mean I don't wanna go out every evening and drink a lot. I think, I am quite happy to settle down again in Münster and meet my friends, work for the university, play lacrosse and to have some rules and limits I have to look for. Seems to me that I get old, but I don't mind. I think, Thessaloniki was a great good-bye to -yeah- the wild times.
Sounds perhaps strange, but I am really happy about my life in the moment and I think I can enjoy everything much more because I do so many different things, but everything only some times!

I hope you understand what I mean. This was the word of monday :)

P.S.: You should by the Julbrod (or something) from IKEA, it is hard bread like Wasa Knäckebrot...(?), it is written that it is Finnish bread, with a Santa Claus as cover...!!!

I just had an exam. I was too lazy to study for it so I just went there to check the questions but now I think that if I'm lucky I can even pass it! Wish me good luck!

Today in the afternoon I will go home to visit my parents AND: to get my new computer!!!! from next week on I'll have an internet connection in my flat :)
It's nice to go to countryside now. I will just xalara the whole weekend: no parties, no early mornings; only fresh air, lots of sleep and good food of course (ok I don't know if the food is good or not but at least I don't have to cook it...)

What happened with Angelo? I thought he was planning of staying in Greece for a longer time. I mean, he is now a citizen of Greece, right?

Well well. Hey, I promised to tell you about my last weekend with the pharmacy-team! it was ok and now I know tha names of almost all of my co-workers :) But I was a bit disappointed that they are all telling shitty things about the boss because they think that the boss is telling shitty things about them...stupid. I guess it's like this in every job but I still don't like it. But we had great food and we also got a bit drunk on Saturday. And one thing that I haven't told you yet: do you know the band Hanoi Rocks? that's a Finnish band that was on 80's as famous as HIM is now. And they were really rock! Well, after the band broke, one of them went to high school and then to university to study pharmacy. Now he's graduated and is doing his PHd (I think) and:he is working in the same pharmacy with me. As you can believe, it is quite funny to see him drunk... he could still do some of their rock'n'roll movements ( he's about 40 years now ) :)

Let's hope that the next time I'll write to you, I'm doing it with my own laptop.

HAve a nice weekend!

I arrived one hour earlier in the lab today and now I have to wait - damn chemistry. Hopefully I'll be finished in time, because I'm going to the south today, meeting the family of my "Schatzi" (Eleni - that's the moro mou, but I like it better in German) and I'm a little bit afraid, because his grandmother still keeps a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend...
Anyway - it's almost only one month left until you'll arrive in Vienna. I'm afraid I'll have to work on monday and tuesday but I'm really looking forward to the weekend with you, because right now I'm not going out a lot, everybody is studying and I'm lazy (don't you think it's enough to spend 8 hours a day at university, I don't have to learn - these are my fatal thoughts, I'll never finish...).
And a last thing - after 2 days of soul-destroying searching I bought a new trouser (what the hell happenend to the sizes???).

Filakia, Jutta

Hey girls...
what's going on? finally I also arrived to have 5 minutes time to write you again... and I'm feeling a bit guitly that it wasn't before..
but here I am.. with not a lot of news but still some..
1. our lovely angelo-mr latin lover is now also finally leaving greece and going back to peru... I think that's quite sad because if you still know some people living in saloniki for me it feels much closer than if you'll be only a stranger and nobody (except maybe mrs koutousi) will know you there... now it's only mr nasso and mr henri who are remaining....

today I showed my greeks students some pictures of saloniki - ... I cant' tell you exactely what happened but suddenly I could feel the xalara again.... the sun, the going out and drinking beer, the tavernas... ooooh, I have to confess I'M MISSING IT ALL!!!!!!!!!
really a lot in fact!
maybe it's even more because at home still everything is going upside down... too much to work, feeling-confusions with the boys and bad concience because I'm studying not enough... but anyway... I'm missing greece and your company!!! and so I'M even more looking foward to december!!!!!!!
I alos just checked again if I can come to Helsinki in january but I it doesn't look very good...

Hope you are all fine...
Yvonni, I like your picture!!! *g*

Kisses

Hey girls!

Only some picture from our costume-party on saturday. It was such a big fun. Was back in bed at half 5, like in good Greece times!


P.S.: We are Luigi and Super Mario! And we were the best at the party...:)

I also saw my Finnish Erasmus friend. Ok, it's a long time ago, in the same music festival where something happened between me+Jarno, but long-eyelash-Hanne was there. And she was as weird and stupid as always, surprise!!! (and now I just hope that no one else except us 5 is reading these pages...)

Geli was curious about Jarno. He used to be my friend at school but now he's my boyfriend. strange. and it's weird cos I don't know if people here at uni know that we are officially together cos we used to spend a lot of time together already before. Hmm what should I tell about him: He's 25 years, studies organic chemistry nowadays, is blond & quite short, and he used to compete in bicycling but now he only does it as his hobby.

plaah the next two weeks will be horrible for me. Exams, writing papers, working... And I would also like to go to visit my parents soon. but I don't know when I can do it.

For the weekend I'm going to a trip with the workers in the pharmacy. The place should be one of the best in Finland (don't know the word in english but it's like an old wooden "castle" with big yard & garden). And what's best: we'll get nice food&wine & all the nice things you can imagine, AND: we are paid for it !!! trallallaaa :)

I'll tell you soon how it was. I already know how I'm going to spend my first salary: I have to book flight to Prague for new years eve.

Bye
Hellu

Sorry, I have to tell you again a small story of my life:
Yesterday I went to the party of the institute for mathematics and...surprise...I meet Saloniki-Münster-friend Ulli (you remember..MY friend!). But yesterday it was really, really nice. We were speaking a long time about our time in Saloniki, the Greek language courses...I don't know but I really enjoyed it a lot!

I only wanted to tell you that because you are the only people who know the story about Ulli:)!

Yesterday was my day!

First of all: I got tickets for the only concert in Germany of Blink 182! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Then I could buy the jacket I saw last week and I thought it would be gone already, because it was much cheaper than normal!
And THEN: I went to my Greek language course. I was quite nervous! I went to the third part of the course, because before I went to Saloniki I tried the second one and it was horrible! But now I thought: Ok, second is perhaps too low, let's try the third one! But: finally at the end, the teacher came to me and suggested I should go to the forth, the highest level offered! I mean, let's see how it will be, because the level is probably much higher (they speak a lot in the course and they all are quite good), but it doesn't matter. Otherwise I can go back to the third level and be happy to be the best, the best, the best in the course. This is a new experience for me!!!!
Have such a good day like I had yesterday:)!

It's super dark&rainy here (and I woke up this early) but I'm on a good mood! I don't know why. Maybe because I'm not sick anymore :)
hey, I have to tell you, I got 10 ECTS of my Greek language course! And the professor didn't even test my skills. He only said that if it's NOT ENOUGH (!) I can send him an email and he will give me some more credits. I guess someone likes me :) And on Friday I had my Olive Oil-presentation. I don't know if it was good or not but I got 10 ECTS again.... cool.

Sorry girls, now I have to go to a lesson but I'll write you soon!

Eleni

Hey girls!

I wanted to write yesterday, but I forgot it!!! I'm so SORRY (sorry, pos brika to kalutero agori...more or less).
Two days ago I went to the ERASMUS-Welcome-Party of our university and it was so so funny. Not only because the buddys got free beer... (grrrreat) but only talking English the whole evening, nice music for shaking and the whole feeling - I wanted to be back to Greece. You should really do it as well and join an ERASMUS party from your university.
I have to leave you know, because it's so fucking cold in my office (yesterday 4 students of our lab had their last exam, so we had a big party with a lot of alcohol and smoke, and now we have to leave the windows open to get a normal smell again) and that's why I'll start to work in the warm and cosy lab.
