During the last week of October, I would say that quite a lot of different things happened and I learnt many new things. On Monday, October 26th, they celebrated St Demetrios. I learnt that he is one of the most important saints in the Greek Orthodox Church and that he is also the patron saint of Thessaloniki.

As the title says I will be going through how to tell somebody bad news but in a way that is more effective and positive than just telling it straight. Doing it well is a sign of high emotional intelligence and leadership. I will also be going through the psychology of why it is hard to hear bad news but also why it can be equally as hard to tell the news to someone. It is impossible to make bad news “feel” good.

And I will tell you all about that but I will also tell you about an erasmus party event/orginized club thing that I saw an ad on facebook and went to, here in the city of Thessaloniki.

Im having a real struggle trying to figure out what to write because nothing too exciting happened so this will be really short. Ok so the first week of october was pretty uneventful just the regular-degular work. The only pretty cool thing was that I saw flamingos and ate some octopus at a cozy taverna close by. It was a pretty gloomy day with some rain during some moments. I enjoyed that day because I went alone and just took in the entire weather and the quiet. I dont thin

I'm writing this during the last week of september. Which means that I have been here in Thessaloniki, Greece for a month now. And during these couple of days after the on arrival training has been very informative when it comes to my work and special events that I have to work.
