I sometimes wish I had a "Cypriot-sounding" surname (which I'd have had if my parents' genders were reversed) so Cypriot students would come to me based on that. I've missed out on many Cypriot communities because of my surname and now I'm painfully homesick & it's not helping.

You were one of the first people I followed on Twitter simply because I noticed u are a scientist and had a quote written in Greek on your bio. So you’ve at least made yourself approachable to the Greek/Cypriot community online. Have u tried joining a Cypriot society at uni?

Aw, thanks! Do they accept staff? I doubt it... but I'll reach out during term time!

I don’t see why not. I used to miss home a lot during Easter or during the Αποκριες and the Greek and Cypriot society of Glashow Uni always had something on at that time and they were very welcoming
