What a day

I woke up and found out that most likely, the wire went through. Then I got an email about a transaction I wasn't happy about. That took up most of my day, skyping in A10 where we all hang out at the school. They have ethernet cables in there. I missed dinner cause I was on Skype with the bank til about 9. Afterwards, I was hungry and wanted to eat something quick in Syntagma. I went to an Alpha Bank which is my bank here in Athens. My mind was mush so I forgot my card pin number for the Greek credit card. I entered the number three times into the ATM incorrectly and then I realized that the machine was hungrier than I was! It ate my card.

That's ok though cause I don't need the card anymore. I need to withdraw all my money from Alpha Bank anyway and I might as well go in tomorrow and tell them what happened. It should be fine.

It's just funny how much bank trouble I've had in the past few days: the Wire that Couldn't, the Mysterious Subscription and the Card Monster.

At least our Greek teacher said to the class, "You'll have to write a song about this..." referencing a topic in Greek. Someone in the class said, "Stoddy wrote a song," so our teacher asked me to play it. I did! It went well and she was wide mouthed, holding her cell phone to tape as much as she could of it half way through.

It's amazing how one problem dissolves once another comes along. It really is all relative.
