Out of all the weeks I get to spend in Greece’s paradise, this is the one I most looked forward to. My family has finally arrived for their visit, and I couldn’t be more elated. I underestimated how hard it would be to be away from home for so long, but they are a breath of fresh air that will power me through the last month of my studies. It’s hard to describe what it feels like to show them my current home in this foreign country. I’ve created a routine here that hasn’t included them, other than the occasional phone call, and I can only hope that they are proud of what I have accomplished. I know this week will go by faster than I want it to, but I’m certainly grasping onto every second with them.
