High School reunion

On Saturday night I went to my High School reunion. It was held at an 80's club near Varkiza which was awesome. For weeks prior to this event, I changed my mind at least 20 times. Why you may ask? Well many things went through my head:Have I aged a lot? Will they think I'm successful enough?Will they judge me or feel sorry for me because I'm still single? I know you may think it's silly but these issues bothered me. I finally decided to go and I don't regret it. It was fantastic. I saw friends that I hadn't seen in a very long time, reconnected with people I had lost contact with and actually made friends with people with whom I never thought I'd have anything in common with. All in all, a very pleasant evening of catching up and dancing. Now I can't wait for our next one:-)

THe ultimate adventure film of the summer:WANTED

On Saturday night, some friends and I decided to go to a lovely outdoor cinema theatre and enjoy a film it the cool breeze. We went to AIGLI Tellas in Zappeio. This is a fantastic theatre surrounded by the National Gardens in downtown Athens. It's awesome because you have the opportunity to enjoy a film in a very greek way:Eating a souvlaki with a cold beer or glass of wine.
We decided to watch WANTED starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvory(cute)and the very talented Morgan Freeman. The film is about a young man named Wesley who feels like he hasn't accomplished anything in his life until he meets Fox and he is inducted into a fraternity of elite assassins of fate with superhuman abilities to kill . They can pull off Matrix-style stunts such as shoot their target as their car is flipping upside down and curve bullets so they can hit their targets with precision. The odd thing is that they get their orders from a loom. Yes you heard me correctly, Fate decides who has to die so as others can live.
This film is visually exciting and the actors are very persuasive in their roles but the plot was a bit confusing while some scenes where quite gruesome. If you are a fan of adventure and violence then you'll love it otherwise go watch Mama Mia:-)

The end of Summer

Every September is the same. It creeps up on you and you dread going back to the routine and pressure of work. That's how I feel this year. I can't believe the summer is over. I can't complain though as I had a full 6 weeks 0f holiday this year and 4 weeks of working part-time. Despite this I still avoid some of my students calls. I keep thinking to myself"Just a few days more and I'll be ready to face them again" :-) Don't get me wrong, I love my job but it can get too much at times.

Yesterday I went to a lovely cafe-bar near the seaside called Agnanti. It's absolutely lovely. There was a gorgeous breeze and I had one of those summer drinks.

It was marvellous. The one great thing about living in Greece is that you have the oppotunity to do this almost all year round.

So enjoy the last remnants of summer and recharge your batteries for a productive and satisfying winter. KALO XEIMONA everyone.
