THE MOST EXCITING THING EVER!

Even though I haven't updated in... a few decades... I have a very special announcement!

I AM GOING TO GREECE!!!

That's right, you heard me. I am spending next semester in Greece. Specifically I will be studying in Rhodes, but I am hoping to travel all over the place: throughout Europe, maybe to Egypt, and maybe I will just swim to Turkey since I'll be so close. I might be able to see Turkey from my house! 

So, obviously I am excited to go abroad. I'm Greek, so I can't wait to get in touch with those roots, and I can't wait to travel and meet new people. But really, what I am most excited about is the food. Really, did you have any doubt about that? I cannot wait for the food. I am also hoping to learn how to cook Greek food, which would be awesome. I would come back home and whip up some moussaka to share. Yum...

Back at School... with a Pretend Kitchen

Maryland Wall of Victory!

I'm back at school! And actually have been for over a month now. 

I figure its about time to start work on my blog again, if only for a procrastination tool against the massive stack of reading piling on my desk.

So, in brief, this year's living situation is a step up from last year's. It's bigger, to begin with- a 6 person suite with a massive common room. I lucked out with a single, too, which is fantastic. 

Food-wise, though, there are way more opportunities to avoid eating at the dining hall. We have snuck in a number of appliances, which I guess we aren't really supposed to have. Between the common room and the 4 bedrooms, we have: 5 refrigerators, 2 microwaves, 1 toaster oven, 1 toaster,  1 hot pot, 1 rice cooker, and 1 unopened and untouched hot plate. Don't 

tell anyone!

My storage area for plates/ tupperware/ dish towels, etc. 

My pantry area. In my closet, food takes precedence over clothing. Sad, isn't it?

The fridge covered and packed with food.
