First I need to apologize for my lack of energy put forward towards this blog after Germany. To give you a quick run down since then, My mom came to travel around Spain with me and it couldn’t have been better. Then of course I had some more airfare problems coming back from Spain and ended up sprinting through the Amsterdam airport to catch my transfer flight to Atlanta because the French (one more mark against France) air traffic control decided to go on strike, delaying my first flight by about 2 hours. Then I went to Peru, where I have worked on construction for a boys’ home for a few summers. Now that I have been back in Athens for several months am just taking the time to write another update.
So the semester would not have begun on the right foot without something ridiculous happening, the guinea pig or as Kati Braswell decided to call it: geneva pig. So we walked in our house and found a geneva pig in our kitchen, problem was it didn’t belong to anyone that was living with us. It belonged to a girl that had lived there over the summer and she left it while traveling. So promptly we started plotting what kinds of things we could do to it if she didn’t get it soon. Ideas included: freeing it into the wild and frying it like they do in Peru.
As far as classes all but my photojournalism class have beyond failed my expectations. But my photo journalism has allowed me to meet and photograph some interesting people. So in honor of these people I will start logging the pictures and the stories behind them.
