Greece

I'm back from Greece! I had a great weekend filled with lots of good food and cultural experiences. This blog is going to be exceptionally short today because I'm in the process of writing a 10-15 page paper on the Syria conflict and I wrote a 5-6 page paper on education in Germany and the United States last week. So to say the least, I am SICK of writing. This is my last week of classes and the amount of stress and homework I have is seemingly unreal. I have two very important final exams on Thursday to study for and then I'm free! I leave for London Sunday evening and I can't wait for the last leg of this journey. I apologize for the short blog, but I hope you can understand how sick of writing I am!

Message me or comment any questions you have. Have a great day!
