crisis

All my deepest fears came true and we follow the path of poverty..Not only us, but whole Europe is ready to collapse.
We are not alone any more and Europeans have come to realize that there is a faulty bank system that leads to our hardships.
A lot of people face a lot of serious problems. Mentally, sentimentally, problems of survival.
My customers don't pay the fees regularly, and as a result, I am at a worrying situation.
The students, don't study, as usual, unaware of all these problems.
I am in the classroom looking at them, while they are having a test, and I am thinking of their future..
What is the future holding for them?
How dramatically their life will be effected?
Are they raised to withstand to all the eminent turmoil ?

Crisis has a lot of faces...Which of them will we face in the near future?

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!

This is a very significant day. This is a gloomy day for Greece and I am very afraid that a lot of other countries will follow.
You, friends, from other countries, you have to think, that it is impossible so many million people from so many countries to be lazy bones and corrupted. Of course Greeks have made a lot of mistakes and our public services can really be stiff and at times, yes, corrupted at its some sectors, but is this enough to reach at the point of bunkrupty? No.
I am deeply sorry and afraid of the future.

2010 wishes

I wish all a happy new year, full of health, success, and dreams.
Time flies and carries on its wings our time, our existence and our feelings.
Nothing stays the same, thus it doesn't stale...As long as we are healthy and we have the basics to survive, we can think positively and love ourselves and the world.
It is difficult but nothing beautiful comes easily.
Have a great new year, despite all the difficulties, we are here to stay !

today......

Today I woke up really early. I saw the orange sky and the first light of the sun. The mist was hanging and loitering over the braches and a dampness was covering the low grass.
I was waiting for a nurse to come and take samples of our blood and urins. It was time to examine our health and for my son to know if everything is all right to start an acne treatment.
No sooner we finish the teeth treatment by an orthodotics we have to start another. In few years he will be a handsome young man and all thanks to his discipline to follow the treatments.
My younger son follows the same steps. There are some lucky people who do not need any of this.
There  is so much  time and money consuming and since the treatment last for many years, that it is a little tedious but we can't just leave it as it is.

I try to be very careful with my money. It is so little now that makes feel a little depressed.
Everybody expects to be in a better financial condition after working for so many years, but living in such difficult years, we can't hope for something better.
I don't think that I would have a problem if my sons choose to live in another country..As long as they have a job and live a decent life.
If I am lucky in a few years I will have been retired and at least I will have something to live on.
I may be able to do a job at the same time..Who knows...
Things are really bad in Greece but I still hope for a better future..

a disgrace!

This is a disgrace! The weather is hot and humid. The sun is bright and the sky full of puffy clouds,,
What kind of winter is this? Will we light the hearth in the fireplace,or will we unpack our summer clothes? Phww!
Anyway...I am down in the dumps...I have some financial problems which I can't share with you, of course...Internet is not the right place for such kind of confessions.. Apart from that, and the fact that nobody studies at home, o.k. almost nobody, or is interested in English, everything is fine...
As long as we are healthy and out of jail, as an old friend used to say...
I am thinking of running for the school elections..You know, to represent parents...Junior high is a tricky business and there are a lot in stake, you can't just stay cool and watch the school running only by teachers..They need help and guidance and tolerance and patience....but it is a little difficult to show all these when at the same time you have to pay loads of money in afternoon lessons...Anyway, I wonder if there is another working class for which we can say the same thing..
Not only nobody shows any sign of the slightest sympathy but also EVERYBODY is quite harsh with you, to say the least....

If I was younger I could study to be a chef....Every day I try new things, I mix,and I fry, or boil, or simmer....whatever comes in my mind...It is very exhilarating ...

That's all folks! Talk to you later...or...later...

Complain.........

I am quite pissed off!
There are not  qualified teachers at my son's school . Moreover, some of them behave as they really hate their  students. In two years they are supposed to enter university. How is it possiple ?
I don't know. Of course everybody goes to organised group lessons, or private ones, but ....we spend a lot of money for something which is supposed to be free...We pay so many taxes..for what?
It is a pity.

Rain..rain...and more water!

Water everywhere! It is falling from the sky, it is flowing in the streets, it is singing on the panes.
Water, water, everywhere!
It has been raining for the last 5 hours, I think, and now that it is getting darker, it seems a little spooky to see so much water ...
The only happy creatures must be the trees and the animals..At least those which are protected in a way.
Since I am not a tree or an animal, not the kind I mean, of course, I think that it would be a good idea to stop.
My hair is curly and if water falls on it, all the hard work to make it straight, disappears.
We, people, and especially women are so vain! We think of our shoes and hair instead of the benefit that a good rain can bring to nature.
It seems that long ago we took our decision to separate ourselves from nature and to be left alone.....
I think that we are like movie stars. The moment they realize that they are old,lonely and peniless,it is too late to change things..
