I can't believe the whole summer went by so fast. I interned (still am) at the UN, turned 21, saw my baby cousin for the first time... and so many other things. I've been forced to travel around an island for work, and make an effort to speak a language I'm not very good at, despite having lived here for so many years. I think it's probably because I've been so out of practice. I can comprehend what people say for the most part, my actual speaking of the language (Greek) is not excellent. On the whole, it's been fun, just not as socially exciting as I had hoped. But that;s just because, as usual, I came here with so many hopes and expectations, especially with regards to old classmates, which was uncalled for and only served to make me unhappy and depressed when I shouldn't have been.

I came here for a quiet summer, and instead landed myself in the middle of one of the most stupid and uncalled for conflcts ever. And I've also grown, in my understanding of the UN and also of myself. 
It's been pretty good.

Sorry I haven't been updating, it's just... eh.

I have missed so much. And now I'm afraid of flying back because of stupid terrorists.

But I can't wait for MHC.

PS happy independence day India!!
