London Days 14&15: Spring Break = Officially Planned!

So Monday morning I started my work-study job in the Office of Student Life. I can already that I'm going to really like it there. All of the ladies in the office are really nice, and I have my own desk and computer. If they don't have any jobs for me, I get to do homework or play on the computer. Best job ever.

After work I grabbed lunch and did some reading before my class. After class I had a work meeting (free pizza!) where they talked about all the responsibilities of the job, and I also picked up an additional three hours a week - hooray!

Once I got out of the meeting, Christine and Claire came over and we started planning Spring Break. Alex came over after his group meeting, and we managed to book all of our flights, ferries, and hostels for the week! Here is the itinerary:

March 12 - fly from London to Athens, Greece
March 12, 13, 14 - Athens, Greece
March 14 - catch the ferry from Athens to Santorini, Greece
March 14, 15, 16, 17 - Santorini!!
March 17 - ferry from Santorini to Kos, Greece
March 17, 18, 19, 20 - Kos!
March 20 - ferry from Kos to Athens
March 20, 21 - Athens
March 21 - fly from Athens back to London

The ferry rides are going to be excruciatingly long (9 hours to Santorini, 4 to Kos, 13 back to Athens), but I know we'll make the best of it. Also, some of the hostels that we are staying in sound so cute. I'm really really excited.

By the time we planned Spring Break, it was almost midnight (it took about 3 hours to plan) so we parted ways. Tuesday morning I had class early, and afterwards I went out to lunch with Christine at Caffe Nero. We planned out some stuff for upcoming birthdays and then went home to do work. I ended up mostly doing reading all day, and I also went grocery shopping with Claire later in the day to break up the monotony. I managed to get to bed relatively early, which was nice too.
