Day trip to Cologne

Day #103

Hello again my dear friends!
Today i will describe you another one of my little adventures,my day trip to Cologne.
Well ,thank god,in the university that i'm doing my erasmus year,there is an asociation that organises trips for the students of the uni. And thr prices are really good. So i decided to go.

The fact is that when i was little,my dad was going every year to Cologne for an exposition of food,and every year he was taking one member of the family with him. I was like 6 years old (i think),when i had the chance to go with him.And the only thing that i was remembering was a big street with a lot of shops, a mc donalds, a balloon that someone gave me and i wanted to take it with me in Greece, the kidengarden that my dad had left me,when he was in the exposition, a weird apple juice (carbonate) and the shops that selling french fries in a paper.Oh and one weird bottle of evian,that my dad has bought me and i was hanging it everywhere (that i take it back to Greece :p).
Nothing else.

Well, the weird but extremely amazing thing,was that i actually revived some of the previews memories in this trip. I ate the classic french fries and i saw these big central streets (i don't remember the name) with thousands of grand marks shops.But i also saw other worthy things. Cologne for me is the best town,for the people who love christmas. It's everything so christmacy.There are like 7 christmas markets in the town,and they are grand and unique.I visited only 3,well we didn't have a lot of time.And also,it was so crowed that we couldn't even walk. The first one was near to the Dom, a big church.The classic monument. Well i entered there,but i didn't see it all,because of the crowd.And also my friends were hungry,so we left. The next one ,was like a fairytale,with a vintage carousel and with a tree with hanging hearts.I bought the classic hot wine,it was the appropriate thing for the cold weather.Then we went to another market,that it has an ice skating floor and you could or do ice skating or watch the people that they were doing it.I did the second one. I don't have a good balance. I loved it. The last market that we have visited it was the one with angels and stars hanging from the trees. Magic!

Well i didn't see much of the ville, because of the markets that they were in the grand places and also because there were a lot,but a lot of tourists. I would like to visited like in spring or in the summer again.To explore it, a little bit more.

Well it was a good trip.The only disadvantage was the cold. The temperature was very low,and as you know i'm not a person who loves cold.And i didn't have gloves,and it was like  -2 degrees,and i was freezing.But i used my scarf for gloves and i found a solution.

That was it. A very good pause,in my stressed life. Tomorrow i have my exams in dutch and ok i have studied a bit. But in Wensday i have exams in linguistics, and the lesson is soooo difficult,i don't understand anything and i don't have any idea how the heck i'm going to pass it. Pfff i'm really freaking out....I hate exams.

Patience...i only need a little bit of patience.And then...Athens,Rhodes, here i come!

Day #95

"-so speak greek!

                       -but i don't have anyone to speek greek with!

-speak with your-self!

                      -how?if i speak with myself they'll think that i'm crazy!

       -so what?!You are crazy!!"

Finally,after 3 months living in abroad, someone actually understand the real character of me.I never believed that a foreign language could be a barrier to understanding the character of another person. But yeah,it does. I can't express myself in french.I think everyone thinks that i'm quiet,antisocial and not a party animal. Three things that they are completely opposed to my character. 
Me, quiet??!No,no,no! 
    I speak french and yeah i can communicate, i can participate in a dialogue but no i can't be me. No one understand my jokes, or my sarcasm, or the times that i want to do and say crazy stuffs. No one except my new friend. 

   Yesterday i had soooo much fun. I realised who i am and how much i have missed being me.The little things, are the most powerful. I missed being crazy, and don't care about anyone and nothing. And with this girl, that we don't ressemble a lot, i feel that i can be myself. She listens me.She doesn't ignore me.She is there. That's the most amazing thing. The point is to find people that we're completely different. 

The same, is boring.

   So yesterday we went to an exposition,that we don't really enjoy, so we decided to leave and go to the nearest commercial center. Here in Lille, the winter is definately here. The temperatures are so low, that we loose our envie to go out. And I, personally, hate cold. And i moan a lot. But i thought that i have to stop moaning and find a way to resist. Because i'm Human Sunshine,according to Stargirl (my new friend). And as human sunshine, i have to find the sparkl in everything that annoying me,or that i hate. And then, change them, so i can live with them. I have to find a way to like the cold. Basically i thought to become one with the cold. I will start drink granitas so much that my body temperature start to fall...and then i'll be cold as much as the cold outside :p .
Or i can start drinking.Yeah and we arrived at the commercial center and we bought granitas (resistance) , and we enter to a photo booth and we take pictures and then....she had to go,because we're both tired and we've both so much work to do. 
But yeah i laughed so much,woop woop! 

Now unfortunately, back to my stress. I have to finish a dossie with a difficult subject and i'm freaking out. Jesus, the person that said that if you're an erasmus, you don't have to study,said the biggest lie ever!Thankfully in two weeks,i'll go back to home,so patience,is the only thing that i have to do. Oh and study.
Patience and study.
