First day of my exams today. I really wish I succeed in my exams cause I sure strain much. Last few days I barely left the bedroom. I woke up in the morning and my books were waiting for me by my side on the nightstand where I left them the previous night after I had finished studying for the day. I studied on the bed, I ate on the bed, I LIVED on the bed! Lucky for me, my Boy opened the blinds to let the morning light come in, fed me, kept me company, listened to me patiently while I raised cain about almost everything and everyone, took my stress away. When it comes to exams, I’ m the worst at dealing with it. I get so frustrated by dead lines, by lack of sleep and free time, by the heavy sense of responsibility. Negative thoughts make it hard for me to focus and when it gets too much for me I am always so close to giving up. BUT whenever you are feeling disappointment and you are in resignation mode, that’ s when you know that some people in your life can really make a difference. I am so lucky I get so much support from friends and family, by giving me their helpful notes or taking care of my dog while I study. First day of the exams is hard to cope with but now that I broke the barrier of denial, I say “let the games begin”!
Let’ s pretend we are on vacation
26 JulStuck in a hot town like a bare foot in the mud? Search for summery scenery and pretend you are on a greek island. Luckily, where I live, I can make do with. Good company is always a plus! Have some “ouzo”, listen to some “bouzouki”, have a view of the sea, and there you have it. Your own, personal delusion.
Be a “cool cat”. Joe Cocker said it first: “Come on, come on and dance all night, despite the heat it will be alright” !
The Isle of Salonica
Small birds, big appetite!
Can’ t get much “greeker” than this
And last but not least, our favorite “tzitzikos”!

Your dog loves taverns as much as you do!
Friends – Family by choice, not by blood
20 JulWhat are some DNA sequences compared to coordinated silent conspiracies of heart and mind? The conspiracies you can only make with the people who accompanied you through your best and worst, whose mind is an advanced reader of your own, whose laugh is always effortless and whose look is never ambiguous. The ones you feel proud of as if they were your creations even if they lead the most inconsequential lifestyle. The ones who seem to always be beautiful in an obvious but also in an indefinably unseen way. Here’ s to my girls, no matter how near or how far away!
