Examination

Today we didn't have classes from the morning, but I woke up early to prepare the things for it, since we had an exam from 10.45 and after a lunch break we had to present our project, how far we got with them. As we present we also got the sign on our learning agreement, but we still need to send to the teacher a detailed document about the project.
Afterwards I had more than an hour break which I used to rest a little till my English course. We had a nice topic during the class and we had the chance to talk with each other about it in details while the teacher checked how we work and using the frames, the necesarry words we learned before.

Business tourism and spanish

I had to wake up early, since our class started at 8.45, we started with Business tourism, firstly we got some time to work on our project, then we finish with the presentations, but we stoped at each important one, where the teacher told us what parts we need to highlight in our project. At the end of this class we also had to present where we are in our project. Afterwards we had our lunch break, firstly We worked on our project with Alexa, and as Tamás finished with Photoshop we went home to eat, then I leaded back to school and I took some pictures the way back.

 As I arrived we continue working on our projects with Alexa till the spanish course started. During the spanish course we finished another unit, so in the next lesson we will write a test again. Language courses are good, and I really like the spanish one, coz we have a really good teacher, but taking them in the night is really a killer... As we got back to the residence, we had our dinner and then we continued working on our project with Alexa and Tamás.

Tuesday - 1 class - all day

Luckily the teacher let us sleep more than normaly, because he told us we will start the class one hour later, but it didn't help much on the case we have to do many things for the next lessons. During the class we played a game, where we had 2 groups playing 2 different cultures, one of them are protecting their ballons which represent their god, the other want to take it, coz it's an important medicine for them. The teacher told us, our group was good, according to the previous years, we weren't that aggressive. We also had our lunch break, then we continued to present our works what we had to do before the class even started, and we also had some group works during the class.
The teacher also let us leave earlier, but he gave us a lot of things to do till Thursday and a few for Wednesday also. The way back home I went in Lidl to shop some food that are necessary for me, such as bread and butter. As I arrived to the residence I ate something and tried to relax a bit before start working on the project, during the night I also talking with my loved one.

Back to school again

Today I had to wake up around 7 am, to get ready for school. First we had business tourism, the teacher was really kind, however as he explained he wants a lof ot things from us to do. We had several breaks, than we had some presentation about some countries during the Global Issues class and they also show their food and drink. Afterwards we had an hour long break till the language courses. So we used our time to go out to the sun and enjoy it's warm touch when it came out behind the clouds.

During the French course we had a test, but it doesn't seem like one, we just had to make a dialoge and some listening tasks, there was also a fire alarm test, then one more hour of French to finish the day.

Sunday: Back to Kortrijk again

I got up early today to catch my flight back to Brussels, however I didn't have to be so early now, because I had priority for security check and boarding, I really enjoyed that luxory. :D
The plane was in time, but the weather was awful in Charleroi when I arrived, I also had a transfer from the airport to Brussels-Midi trainstation, I had a little bad luck, coz I've just missed the train that goes straight to Kortrijk. On the other hand, I was still faster getting back to Kortrijk then the previous Monday, it can be the effect of not having a chcecked-in baggage. So I took a train to Gent and I had to change there for another which was heading to Lille. I arrived back to the residence at around 11.15 am, so I was pretty good at time, I met my friends, I also gave them some presents that I took form home such as some traditional hungarian chocolates and postcards from my town.
During the day I relaxed and finished some of my homerworks.
Here is my weekly spending, which is lamost equales zero since I was mostly at home and I ate only the food that I got from there, except that I payed all my rental fees for my room.

Saturday: information day for Campleaders

I didn't wake up so early I had my breakfast then I wen to buy some medicines that I'll need in Belgium for my throat. Afterwards I headed to catch my train to Budapest which was in late already and collecct some more minutes till I got in. Luckily I didn't late so much and I met one of my future colleague from the camp, she was nice and it will be her first flight ever! We finished with the presentation around 4.30 pm and we got know everything about the traveling, the rules and what we have to keep attention during our "vacation". Afterwards I headed back to home and get my stuff ready for travelling and also went to shop some goods with my mother. During the night I set everything ready, including my slippers to don't leave them at home this time! :D

Friday: U.S. Embassy - Visa Interview

I had to wake up early, since I had to get in the Campleaders office at 11.30 to get some tips about the visa interview and get our papers and passports back for it. Around noon we got the U.S. Embassy and had wait a bit till we can get in, while we were waiting I got know a girl, next to me who's going to Minnesota. First we gotta get through a security check then we can get in the main building. Inside the building there were some lines, first they got our fingerprints, the officer lday told me I have perfect ones and it's really good and rare! Afterwards we got in another line where we had to talk with another officer who decided if we can get our visa ot not, she asked me a few questions about where and what I'm learning when will I finish and things like that, after a few minutes she stamped my papers and gave them back without my passport and wishing me a good journey to America!
As I finished there I went to the National Book Exhibition in the Millenáris Park to meet my  brother and his friend Márk, we spent some time there around looking through some chineese books and watching some presentations about the modern libraries ideas.

Thursday: back to Hungary

I forgot to write about the last few days, so I have to get back online!
Thursday was mostly only travelling back to Hungary, enjoying my priority and reserved seat on the plane, however due to the foggy weather the plane departured around 20 minutes later as it supposed to. As I arrived to Hungary I wentdirectly to my school to see what I can do for my lost student card, but unfortunetly there's nothing to do, I have to wait a lot for the paperworks... As I was in school I met some of my friends and let them know how I am in Belgium and of course they wanted to know my story with Marianna, how we met and how it's right now. I also met my Erasmus coordinator and talked through where can I go for intership and how it is in Belgium.
As I finished I went home and tried to get ready for my visa interview which was on Friday.

Spanish course

Today I had no courses in the morning, so I could sleep long again and wake up around 11 am. I prepared a few things ready for tomorrow and also a few things for school then I went in to print out my tickets for the trasport and for the flights. Afterwards I went to shop a few things for myself since when I'll come back it will be Sunday and nothing will be opened. During the afternoon I spent some time with my love via Facebook and got myself ready for my spanish course. We got our test results, it was quiete good and after the long break it seemed really long to have a 3 hour course...
During the night we finished our english homework with Aurore and send it to the teacher, then I spent some times with my friends in the kitchen looking through some pictures and videos and talking about what happend while I was away. And now I'm going to have a short sleep to catch my train and plane in the morning.

Tuesday, no classes

I woke up late, at least I relexed enough since a long time... First in the morning I tried to do some homeworks and chek on things. During the day I also went to the post office and payed in my rental fee for the accomodation and then I went in the K Kortrijk to find a shop to replace my stolen wallet, it was a hard run to find a similar one which doesn't have so many places for cards, but I did and it cost me 22 euros. Afterwards I tried to focus on my studies, because I have some homewroks to do this week. I keep thinking about my days when I was in Athens with my love, Marianna...
At the evening I met with Poly and Migena and with discussed about a few things, just as I did the previous day with Nóri, she had many things to tell, since we didn't see each other for a long time.

Back to Kortrijk

I started my day early, coz I had to get to the airport and took a plan at 6.15 from Budapest to Brussels and took less than 2 hours, we landed around 8 am. I had to wait for my luggage and then for the bus, and it comes so late and departured only at around 9 am, so I wasn't sure if I could catch the train that I was calculating that I could. However I was still lucky with it, because I catched it and I had time to change the train, I even had to wait and I got to Kortrijk before I thought I will. But I still didn't have much time to get ready for school, however I shouldn't be hurry, coz out first lesson wasn't on, our teacher must forgot about us, coz he was there right in front of us and didn't tell us anything that we'll have class or not, he was busy doing an exam. From 2 pm we had another class, so we went for that where I met my colleagues who I didn't see me for almost 2 weeks, they were so happy for my return. We had a really boring class then... and I forgot my phone at the residence! So when I had a 45 minutes break between 2 classes I took my bike to get it, I was so happy to ride my bike again, that was the main thing I was missing the most while I was away and my friends of course (just don't want to hurt their feelings :P ). We had our French class then where we had to find out we will have an exam next week. After the lesson I got back to the residence and I gave a short report about my last week and more.
And of course here is my weekly spending.

Leaving Athens

We didn't do anything special today, we just took our time together. We watched an animated movie, Epic, while the recepcionist ask for a little help to took his place while he has to leave to help a friend. I also disccovered who are the hungarians in the hostel, there were 9 girls in total from a University in Sopron.

We took the metro and got to the airport, we also stopped before for a change and took some pictures, afterwards we still had some time at the airport before my plane departured, so we used it well.

Thinking about our journey...

I had a safe flight, we kept the time and I was lucky, coz I was able to catch a train from the bus's final station, so I didn't have to use multiple tickets for the metro. As I arrived home my mother was waiting for me at the train station and we went to print out my ticket for tomorrow to fly back to Belgium. Then we got home and I had some dinner and was talking longly about my trip and my adventures and most of the things that happend. Now I'm about to sleep an hour before I get to the airport again.

Calm <-> crowded Athens

We started the day at around 11 am with Marianna, but first we were just chilling and talking. Then we went out to visit Marianna's neighbourhood, which is a quite calm part of Athens, it's the suburban part, I liked it very much. :) We also get in to a near mall to have our lunch, some pizza, no more souvlaki for now!

Afterwards I wanted to buy some suvenirs so we went to the center, the metro was really crowded, that was my loss. As I bought the suvenirs and was about to get back to the hostel with the metro when we arrived I couldn't fins my wallet... That's the crowded part of Athens, mostly in the weekend, coz the metro's are coming only every 5 minutes and they're all full. So I lost my loved brown leather Lumberjack wallet with more than a 100 euros cash in it, my monthly passes for Budapest public transport, my 2 student cards, my press card and my credit card which I blocked immediately as I found out it's stolen.
After we spent the rest time in my room, chilling and trying to get rid of the bad thing that happend...

Μαρεσει να ειμαι μαζι σου κοντα στη θάλασσα

I slept so long, however I had some breaks between, we met around noon again with Marianna and we went to the beach in Athens.

We were chilling and sunbathing, and we weren't careful enough, coz we didn't have any sun cream with us, so we both got burned...

We didn't done anything else just walking around and chilling, we couldn't even do more here and we had a really nice weather. We had only a short time together since she promised to her sister that they'll go to the gym tonight, so she went home early to get ready for that and have some rest.

Visiting museums

We needed some rest from the day before, so we just met at noon with Marianna and Kostas. First we get in a museum, which is a new one full of ancient stuff and it has a modern look from outside. After we got to the Acropolis and visited the Phanteon on the top of it, there was a nice view, however some part of the building was under renovation. As we finihed there Kostas went home, coz he feel tired while me and Marianna visited the ancient market, inside of it there were some exhibition with various old coins and potteries.

Afterwards we had some lunch and took some rest, talking about our possibilities for the upcoming days and more... Around 8 pm Marianna went home and as I was walking back to my hostel I saw some part of the demonstration what she mentioned before why the buses are not in work.
