I guess you could think that's an easy question to answer.
So, let's think about it together!
Here I am, having passed to a university out of my city (Way out of my city, in a totally different department, in an island, with sea having to pass, and very expensive airport tickets!) and having met a bunch of new people, I like a lot.
I'm happy, most of the time. At least, when homesickness doesn't kick in!
I'm having a good time!
There are times I've felt so alive and happy! (My nameday definitely included)
I have the advantage of a TOTALLY new beginning! (Even one person I've met that comes from the same area as me, I have neer seen him before coming in Rethymno!)
I can give everyone the impression of the person I'd want to be, although I prefer being honest. Because I know from experience that when you pretend only bad results can come out of it.
So, answer to me this question.
Of course, I haven't completely adjusted to my new lifestyle, and definitely I'm still stressed not only by the fact that my life has taken an unimaginable turn, but also because of all the tests and quizzes we have to study for, something students of faculties of the same or other universities don't have to live through. And I didn't even mention all the projects our professors have assigned us.
But, how would you explain the happiness I got from a simple chat exchange on Facebook?
From the way my perspective changed in the way I view some of the comments made by people I despised until very recently?
And, I still get mad (mostly at myself) because I had decided to leave all these things rest in peace in my past.
I had decided to leave my past behind.
But, you know what?
For a long time I've believed that our past is important to all of us.
It's a (for some big, for others small) part of who we are...
The people we have met and the experiences we had have made us develop to the unique human beings we are today.
Because even twins are born with a predisposition to be the same, but their environment helps them develop their (mostly) different characters.
So, I guess, that's why I'm moved and touched by some things I had sworn I'd leave behind.
And with that, I'll just keep living and see where life goes me!
That's what I'd advise you all to do.
If you have a different opinion, I'd be more than glad to hear and discuss it!
It's something that still disturbs me...
I haven't even checked whether or not I've posted anything this month! :/
Anyway, it doesn't matter! I'm here, now!
Something was wrong with my tv, which suddenly just turned off by itself. After much hour of surfing on the net I decided to go check it out. And realised that it wouldn't open, no matter what!
So, after checking the laptop that's not charging I decided that we're having a power failure!
Which means that I can't continue with my housework. AND, more importantly I can't cook... :/ What am I going to eat?? I'll improvise, I guess. Thankfully, I'm not hungry, yet!
But, I'm afraid I will be, soon!
You know, when you know you can't do something that's exactly when you want to do it the most!
Another point, I'd like to comment on, is that two days ago was my NAMEDAY!
Here in Greece the majority of people are Christian Orthodoxes, so, as we learned in the subject of Clinical Psychology (imagine me drooling just with the mere reference to this class *.*), everybody here takes it for granted to wish to everyone a happy nameday, when that day comes!
So, my name, coming from Saint Catherine, is celebrated on November 25th.
And that was an exceptional day for me! For the first time after many many years!
And not because it was my nameday! I think that was only a small advantage!
The fact that I had a "pajama party" with one of my friends, also helped a lot!
So, yeah!
Oooh, and of course the fact that the previous day I had received some messages on Facebook chat...
But I'm gonna talk about that in the next post.
Here, I just want to add a song I like very much! One of my favorites, actually!
And it is related to this post's second sentence ;D
Today I've been studying Neurobiology all day long!! :O From noon to 9:55pm! With 2 1-hour breaks, of course, but still... It wasn't as tiring as I expecting it, thankfully!
Soo, I've been meaning to look for some ways to wear my scarves! And that's it! I found this amazing video, without even looking for it!
Check it out!! :D
Wow, awsomness!
I liked this video's editing sooo much! So creative, and all! Phew... Congrats! And the styling of the scarves?? Awesome!!
Well, well, well...
Yesterday the date was 11/11/11!
Cool, huh?
A horror movie even came out for this particular day!
Isn't that really cool??
Another cool date will also be 20.11.2011
So, watch out for it, too! :D
The next awsome day will be 12.12.12, but until then who knows what happens!
And some days later we'll have 20.12.2012
For some people this will be the next-to-last day of our earth.
Do you really believe the world will come to an end on this date???
I don't think so...
My teacher used to tell us last year that 21.12.2012, that Mayas predicted would be the end of the world, has already passed for them!
Their year 2012 has come and passed for the Mayas.
Because, OBVIOUSLY, they didn't count like us!
2000 B.C. [Before Christ] and 2000 A.D. [Anno Domini]
If that was the case, they'd have predicted that Christ would come to the earth, and that the nations that would decent them would count differently.
Also, what about all those nations that count in a different way than us???
The world will end for them later??? Or sooner???
Some people also believe that there will be a certain hour when everything ends.
Will it be on GMT +0, or what??
How can anyone else count???
I don't know. I just think it's ridiculous.
I personally think that the world is gonna end only when humanity reaches the lowest point we can master!
Or, when an especially big discovery happens!
Or, when we'll be very very developed. Yes, like it's shown in the movies!
But, anyway!
All those people that believe our world is gonna end in 1 year share a belief!
And, I'm gonna respect that!
I'm just saying that in 1 year 1 month and some hours in the future, I'll try and be here (I hope)!
I'm gonna post before and after the end of the world!
Let's share this experience together!
