The infinite land with olive groves; the country washed by three seas; the country with magnificent architecture and rich cultural heritage; the country that gave the birth of the most famous philosophers; and of course the country that formed the basis of modern European civilization when the Ancient Greece myths had appeared.

I still have nightmares about being unprepared for school tests. Would dream analysts interpret that as meaning I don’t feel in control of my life or that I have a fear of failure? Maybe I just need to be better prepared for blood tests and eye tests.

I went to an all girls’ school - white blouses, blue skirts and brown oxfords. The only time I got away with makeup was for missed tests.
