Το φιτρί αγόρι (colourful life)

It’s not so late to look back and see what happened during the time I spent (and I spend) in Greece. The main difference I can name is that Erasmus period is over. Therefore my time as a student has come to an end after 5 months in the TEI of Irakleio. I’ve learned a lot of things, mostly about life, and even it can be said “I don’t regret anything I did”, I guess some things I could do them better.

About friends, I made really good friends in Ioannina in summer 2006. I still meet them from time to time (Greece is really small sometimes). And also others from Irakleio during the same summer. The latter ones I find them by chance in the streets, I go walking and you see someone you think you know and…. One of the Greek guys from the Irakleio conferences. It happened twice to me and the same friend was with me, she can ratify it :P. I hope not to loose these old friends. Some times you make new ones and you don’t give to the old ones the time they deserve. I’m sorry. Even for those from Spain, form the university or from the library: many kisses from Athens

About… life status. Well, my life has changed from student, to unemployed, to worker in a big company as a code monkey. I had been working before, but perhaps I wasn’t working in the same way as now. As a teacher you do your time, and in your free time you prepare the lessons as you want. Some days it isn’t so much time, but others you stay until late. Perhaps was that kind of freeness I liked, and now I feel a bit trapped.

As a new life comes, it doens’t come alone, it comes with responsabilities, drawbacks but some advantages. One of those “advangates” is to be able to invite you friends and no so friends to have a coffe in what I name “my place”. So visit me, because I bought teas, and coffes and I cannot finish all of them by myself!
