I am finally back from my 2-week holidays in Thessaloniki. I won't go into details.. I had a great time with my friends up there, and I hope I'll visit them soon again.

Now I'm back to reality (I always hate that, but who doesnt? ) and I've got to study for the university exams. I wish I could manage to study.. and generally focus on things that matter.. I feel I've completely lost that ability the last months... But well, you could say that it is only a matter of will.. everything's just in my mind.. and if I really really want to , I should be able to control it.

I am pretty sure most of you have heard about the fires in my country, Greece. Hundreds of fires have burnt down forests and homes, and more than 60 people died. Before I returned from Thessaloniki to Rhodos, I spent one day in Athens, and I couldn't believe my eyes. As the bus was approaching the city of Athens, I could see a brown/red cloud covering most part of the sky.. Apart from that, when I went out of the bus, I realised that it was snowing ashes! The atmosphere was suffocative. I couldn't breathe well.

The consequences are disastrous and I really don't know what we could wish for after this. Condolences to the families that have suffered from the fires.. and as someone special to me said.. "the countdown has begun.."
