Times like these..

I don't know why,but lately I've been thinking about my childhood a little more than I usually do.How I thought things would turn out at the time and age I'm at now,who would be in my life,what my life would be like,how I would be like.Things are a whole lot different from personal experience.So yeah,this is me and my twin sister when we were four(I think..?).My mom used to dress us up in similar clothes and everything.I miss those lego-building,choco crisps-eating,ed edd n eddy-watching days.

Stayed at home today due to the fact of my awaking with head,throat and stomach pain.Went on msn and talked to a couple of people.Had a great talk with one of them.She’s inspiring.

Studied physics,chemistry and some ancient Greek.Talked to a friend of mine who lives in a town nearby.We laughed so much.

Today was the last day of school.Exams start on the 18th.Ancient Greek is my first exam.I hope to do well on it.I’m more of an algebra,geometry,physics,chemistry person.Although,my favorite lesson is literature.

Went walking at 2 pm for two hours.It was amazing and relaxing.I was walking uphill and these men were saddling up some of their horses(which reminded me of this movie I saw on Monday at school called ‘The White Horse’.It’s 1953 production,I think).One of the men told me to be careful because there were these Albanian men further up the hill.I was like..o.O and said okay.When I was returning I talked to him about his horses and then came to the fact about those Albanian men.That not all Albanian men are dangerous or bad;that not all Greeks are good and kindhearted;he agreed and just told me to be more aware.I thanked him for his concern.I just felt really weird and didn’t want his statement to be left at air.I’ve been constantly hearing,over the past few years of my stay in Greece,that Albanians are this and that.Not all of it is true though.Most Greeks just choose to refer the inconvenient traits of Albanian people and coax about how they’re not anything like them.We all should look at ourselves as equal citizens and most of all,as human beings.*ends rant*

So yeah,walked loads.I cleared my mind.Thought about lots of things.I like walking by myself and seeing things.

Had a lesson from 4-5(physics and chemistry) and then an essay lesson from 5:10 till 6:45.It went well.

I love this song.It's just ahh.Lovely.
It's mother's day today.Called mom on Skype about four times.She wasn't answering.She and dad called in the afternoon while me and my twin sister were watching 'Dear John'.That movie was pretty good.I was also watching a movie called '10 Things I Hate About You' with Heath Ledger and this other actress who stars in 'The Mona Lisa Smile'(great movie by the way).
Had an interesting yet sad conversation with my grandma today which started with me casually wishing her a happy mother's day.I really love her and I appreciate everything she's ever done for me and for my whole family.She's a fighter.She's one of the people I have great respect for.
I studied algebra,physics,chemistry,geometry,history and economics today.I feel so relieved for doing so because they were important obligations I had to complete.Umm,I feel exceptionally relieved yet tired for completing those obligations(logical,but still haha).
School finished on Wednesday.Exams are coming up.Woohoo!I think I'll do well in my exams.Except for ancient Greek,that is.I have no idea how I'm going to do in that lesson.Time will tell,I guess.

Do you think that all this vandalism gets you anywhere?

Do you think that you gain your rights this way?

Enacting barbarically,like animals without any form of logic or emotion?

4 people are dead.Not three.Four.One of the women were pregnant.Do you care?The answer is no.You don’t.

You have the right to protest.You do.It’s a democratic right.Why can’t you protest peacefully though?What’s the gain in a peaceful protest you ask?No deaths,no destruction of public property or injury of the mass.That’s the gain.With your offensive,selfish,out of control protest all you’ve managed to do is cause pain and loss.

Today was a very tiring,busy day.Nevertheless,it was quite creative!
My mom is visiting my dad so our means of transport are a bit limited.Walked so much today.I've walked the equivalent of two hours.It was good exercise though!
Watched a bit of 'FRIENDS' with my twin sister and ate this lovely dinner which consisted of yogurt,tomato-cucumber salad and a cheese sandwich!
I've been thinking of asking my parents to go to the Placebo concert that will-hopefully-take place in Thessalonikh this September.I really want to go!The first 1000 tickets will cost 30 euros.
My guitar lesson went really well today.Started learning the intro of 'Over The Hills' by Nightwish(I think that's what the name of the song is called,anyway).Been working on 'Chamber Of Lies' by Running Wild.It's a bit difficult but definitely satisfying to play.
Off to take a shower and complete some chemistry revision.
Nightt!

Amazing,amazing,amazing day.Every 1st of May,people from my town go and celebrate the fact that workers fought for their right to an eight hour profession.So,today,the park by my house was filled with people.It was very interesting and fun to see all these people and cars;all the energy was rejuvenating.

I went walking to town to meet up with a friend of mine-Eva-and to make our way up to my house.Turns out that we came up to my house by her parents’ car.Eva’s brother is so adorable.I really like her family;they’re very kind and welcoming.

Me and Eva made our way into the house after saying hello to my grandpa and two of my cats.She really liked my home;the garden mostly.I love my garden.She saw my twin sister,they talked and afterward we were watching the movie ‘Greta’ starring Hilary Duff.We both then suggested to go for a walk in the park.We did and it was very nice yet relaxing.When we returned from our walk in the park,I took this yard blanket and lay it on the grass.There,we sat and conversed about many,many things whilst watching the sky and the stars.My cats were there too.One of them constantly kept rubbing himself on us.It was cute!I really love Eva.She’s one of my closest friends and I’m very glad to have met her when I did.

These past few days have been going wonderfully well.I keep on wondering if I’m dreaming.I’ve come to realize that times like these,moments like these,shouldn’t be expected or planned.They just happen.Also,people can have memorable moments if they just relax and look at things from a different point of view;a more optimistic point of view.Sometimes,life throws things at you that you only have the power to interpret positively.

Today was one of the best days I’ve had in ages.

Went on a field trip with my year to this place called Kastoria.Went to some tourist attractions.I saw these representation of ancient neolithic houses.Had a good laugh when people started goofing around with some tools in the houses.Saw this cave with stalactites and stalagmites.Some people told us there were bats in there and basically most of the girls in my year freaked out.It was quite funny.Went to this church too.The eyes of the painted saints had been scratched off by the Turks.It was a bit shocking but,nevertheless,very interesting to witness.

Went to the city of Kastoria and stayed there for a good four hours.Ate with friends at this tavern.The food was delicious!Had a chocolate drink afterward.Took loads of pictures.I got to know some people better too.

At one point during our drive back home,we got stopped due to this strike some people of the city were having.Instead of getting all grumpy we just got off our buses,started dancing,singing,playing hand games and did the infamous ‘ALELE’!

Came back at nine o’clock and went straight to the park to see some friends.There was supposed to be a concert but it didn’t happen.The bass player from the band told me it was supposed to happen tonight but it didn’t.Weird haha.Me and my friend Eva went out with this guy friend of mine called Stratos.We all had fun and joked around about lots of things.

Today was a day I’ll definitely remember and smile about [:
