Wow,
I hadn't realized it's been so long since I last updated this thing!
Things have been moving so fast here and everybody in Greece has been following oh o closely everything that has been going on with Troika and the European conventions regarding Greece's economic condition and stuff.

The cuts have been so austere you wouldn't believe it.
Monthly salaries for those entering the job market have been lowered to like 460 euros for those working 8-9 hours a day every day. Pensions are a tragedy and unemployment is so severe that there are advertisements that state they are going to pay you like the basic salary and you will have to work 10 hours a day! It's a disgrace.

Other than that it is wonderful! lol
The weather has bettered so much, it actually feels like spring at last!
I have a lot of free time and I have reconnected with so many friends of the past, plus I see some of my regular friends more often which is superb and really lightens my day!
We do go out for coffee but we also meet at each other's places, because it's cheaper and we can do whatever we like, eat, drink. play, watch tv...

I exercise a lot - when I am not bored! lol
I have been studying Spanish since October and now I know all the tenses - minus el conjuntivo, el condicional and such...and I love it!!!
But it's so much harder than I initially thought....
I love the sounds and the culture and everything, but wow....why do Italian and Spanish people make their lives harder with conjuntivo and congiuntivo? I'll never understand!
And they say the Greek language is hard! :P lol

Oh, and to my Spanish friends: I'm watching Toledo now and I ADORE it! what a brilliant show!
Jaime Olias is amazing again and I adore the whole Sancho/Diana thing... I'm a sucker for doomed romances! <3
I also started watching Aguila Roja, but it already has 4 seasons, so I will watch Toledo first and then watch AR.

Anyways, despite everything, since I'm normally prudent I do manage to buy the things I need and then some, so I have bought clothes and purses and pants....Cosmetics...
Generally I feel good! lol

And I really miss talking to you.
I know I have missed a lot of stuff, Birthdays being one of them (one of the most important things) but during the days to come I will be catching up and greeting each and every one of you!!

Hope you are alright! <3

Dee, I heard what happened in Belgium and I was so shocked. All those children. My God! How horrible.
Have they found out why they lost control of the bus like that?
Amaya, wheee! I so want to skype you right now ans talk to you in Spanish so you can laugh at my accent and my loss for words! I still suck at it, but I'm getting better. :P
Susi, Theri....I will catch up with you soon!
And everybody else!! Stay safe and have fun!!

kelly is back
