I will pull out your spleen through your throat, or at least the mental equivalent.

So here I am updating again as I hear my readership has been greatly expanded due to my absence. School pretty much just keeps getting better. We got a decent amount of snow last week which was completely unexpected. it went from being about + 15 to - 15 in about an hour or so. Naturally I'm exagerating, but that's what it seemed like. The weather has since smartened up considerably. Today I stood on the beach and talked on the phone in a T-shirt with the father-unit. He turned the big four five yesterday, not sure how that's any bigger than any other number. but it seems big to me because I wasn't around for it. I suppose it's bigger than any number he's ever been before. On Friday Erin and I partied it up in Thessalonica, We hopped on a train at 7:30am and attempted to find a quality mcdonalds breakfeast. Unfortunately no such thing exists here so we settled for some bacon double cheeseburgers and went on our way to shop up a storm. I found way to many things I wanted for way too much money, so instead I bought some shoes and a sweater/hoodie thing. perhaps a hooder. does that make me a hooderite... the meat market was a little bit disturbing. lambs when deprived of their skin somewhat resemble dogs. This is something I did not really need to know or cared to find out. We chased and fed a plethora of pigeons in a large open square on the waterfront. Apparently their prefered food of choise is Ruffles Potato chips. I encounted the nicest scarf of my life however I deemed 60 euros a tad rich for my blood and chose to pass it up. It haunts me late at night. It was a nice scarf. I managed to snag the bed in our room which is adjacent to the heater. This proved to be a invaluable manoever. The heater and I have since become the best of friends, and the worst of friends as it burnt a batch of socks that I attempted to dry atop of it. The lack of a clothes dryer has proved a tad challenging. especially when clothes out on the balcony acquire several inches of snow midweek. Our lectures this week have turned to a much more geographical and historical theme. I am enjoying them, perhaps not growing so much spiritually, but I do enjoy a good map. We are going to Philippi on Friday. This will be cool. Or Else... I'm not really sure what I meant by that. Perhaps the intense haze of cigarette smoke in this internet cafe is getting to me. Tommorow morning I have to give a 20 minute devotional in front of the school. I'm perhaps a wee bit nervous. If anyone feels like sending up some prayer action. By all means. Proceed. I won't stop you. Ok so this entry is getting more and more incoherent. I haven't receieved any mail as of yet. Erin got 4 letters today. shows how good my friends are. Take that personally, I dare you. Mostly I just want to show off, but you aren't giving me much material. I'm gonna run out of exagerated stories of my awesomeness soon enough and you all know how I tend to recycle... anyways. have a good night or afternoon or whatever it is where you are.

Au Revoir.
