I leave for my three-month long study abroad program on Paros, Greece on Saturday:

I haven't really started packing -- I feel as though that would legitimize the whole thing in my head. Seeing as how my freakout quotient is already increasing at something approaching geometric with each hour ticking towards the moment, I see no need to hurry it along.

In all seriousness, though--fucking Greece. The seat of western civilization! The womb of democracy! The azure-swathed Mediterranean! Marble temples that have stood a thousand years! (Clubbing! Ouzo! Retsina! Women!)
...
(Studying!)
Hmm. I'll be taking a full courseload while I'm there, though they all look like awesome classes, so I'm not too unhappy about that:
- Analog Photography (I'll be shooting with my beautiful old eBay-gotten Nikon FM2n. Full manual forever!)
- Historic Sites of the Eastern Mediterranean (We get to travel around and look at all the cool shit in the area.)
- Creative Writing (Poetry and fiction)
- Literature in Film (An analysis of several famous novels and their transitions onto film)
It might be about time to start packing...I'll try to keep this thing updated fairly regularly with my thoughts and experiences in Greece. 'Till next time.
