I know you all missed me writing on this blog but I had a really busy week. I was planning to write this post from the Chicago hotel last night but the wireless internet was not doing the job for me. Let's start
21 and Counting
Last Saturday we decided with Molly to make the big step and go to Sports Kilroys bar. To all of you who probably don't know Sports is the bar where...well it is "The Bar". The place where you can get drunk, the place where the most 21year old go, the place to be. So we just wanted to feel like 21 again and we took the chance. We decided to make a smooth transition by going to Yogi's for some drinks first and within a couple of hours we found ourselves in the queue waiting. Behind us were three girls with their little tiny skirts, when I heard the following statement from one of them:
"My vagina is freezing".
I thought that this might be the new language that young people talk. I certainly hoped that vagina was slang for something else, or even hoping that I didn't hear well. Unfortunately I verified with Molly and I immediately understood that I might be too old for the bar. This was probably the highlight of our night. I felt good and young and cute when a girl grabbed my ass and I also felt good with guys hitting on Molly everytime I went to the bathroom. At least I know that my girlfriend is still beautiful..not that I had any doubt. There is one thing for sure. For now on, I am hanging out with people my age.
Chicago Trip
As part of our Business Academy week we drove to Chicago on Wednesday to visit Dannaher Corporation and stayed until Thursday when we visited Grainger.
The 5-hour drive to Chicago was fascinating. I am amazed by the world knowledge of the people who decided to name the Indiana cities. Here are some of the names that I came across:
Lebanon
Morocco
Delphi
Frankfort (I am not sure if there were copyright issues with Frankfurt Germany and deliberately mispelled this one).
I am pretty sure the barrista at Starbucks Lebanon was the first time in her life that had to deal with so many foreign names in so little time. This was our first pit stop and I am sure they thought that we were a multinational organization.
Highlight of the drive to Chicago is always Gary, Indiana. The city where Michael Jackson was born and raised is famous in the U.S. Not because of Michael but because is the city with the highest crime rate per capita in the U.S. Definitely a place to avoid filling your gas.
The visits to the companies were informative but I was really amazed with Grainger. They distribute 350,000 different product lines and they complete 99.8% of their orders within the next day of the order placement. They miss only one small city, I believe in Idaho or Iowa..can't recall. Their distribution center is 1.1 million square feet. That is about 100,000 square meters. Or about 20 football or soccer fields. Quite impressive. That would be a company to work for.
Trip back to Bloomington was long and tiring, but here I am now sitting on my couch like I dreamed all day, writing this blog.
Until the next post..take care

The $26 car-ride and Valentine's Day
Molly was driving me to class the other day and right before she turned to the business school and after a couple of minutes of silence from both of us, she spoke:
"Your blog is boring".
I wouldn't really be surprised if that statement came from any other person in the world who does not know how I spend my days, but Molly should know pretty well why I do not have much to say in this blog. I do love her however and I am going to pay her back through this blog.
Let's start:
Valentine's Day: As I already mentioned my favorite day of the year. One of the reasons I love it so much is because the discussion of what we are going to do on Valentine's day starts around mid-January. At least this year, after my proposal, we mutually agreed that it is not worth going out to a restaurant where we will be overcharged for food, sitting half a meter away from another couple who will be able to hear our conversations, and having a waitress trying to be polite because the only thing she cares about is her tip while at the same time she is probably swearing at us back in the kitchen. Let me just make add a little point here before I go on..we always tip well because Molly always likes everybody:).
Anyway, so after we decided that we are not going to a restaurant we started (and by we, I mean my lovely girlfriend) discussing of what we should cook. I was probably asked about 15 times If I am OK with lasagna or steak and I ALWAYS responded yes. A week prior to V-day I realized that it falls on a Thursday..the day that I play soccer. The lovely boyfriend I am, I asked permission to go play, but I did not fight the initial refusal, since I got my way out of a restaurant.
So V-Day comes and I get back from school at 5pm. Molly decides that we should sleep for a while so that we are fresh. I don't really want to sleep but I lay in bed. Molly sleeps from about 6 to 8pm. By the way, my soccer game was at 6.30 and I would be done by 7.30 and it wouldn't make a difference to Valentine if I played or not. We ended up ordering pizza for the night despite all the preparations for cooking, and watching a movie. I have to say, I enjoyed not doing much and according to Molly, I got an A+ for the day.
The $26 car ride: Molly picked me up from school yesterday and on the way back she said the usual "We need milk and bread". And whenever she says that, I know that this really means "We need milk and bread and I want fruit and stuff for sandwiches and lean cuisine and some cinnamon rolls, maybe some chocolate, oh and shampoo and conditioner and probably a bunch of other things".
So if you guessed correctly by the title, that is how much milk and bread cost us yesterday. To be fair, the 7 dollars were my red-bulls and to be honest I am glad that it was only $26. Usually "milk and bread" ranges from $20-80 depending on how hungry we are at the time.
That is it for today. I am sure Molly will be glad to read this post but that is a lesson to learn before calling my blog "boring" again:)

Procrastination
Sometimes I am amazed with how many things I find to do when I have to study for two exams. Here is how it goes..I woke up this morning and I set a goal to start studying at 3pm for my exams. Here is how it went..3 to 4.45 I watched Champions League soccer, then I surfed a little bit, then watched Two and a Half Men, then Friends, then another episode of two and a half men and now I am watching college Basketball while studying. And of course now I am taking a break to write in my blog and to eat. In a couple of hours I will realize that I MUST study. That is when the Red Bull kicks off. To my defense however I did find that there is a negative correlation between class attendance and study time. And since I have not missed a class yet this semester, I can study less for the two exams. I wish I could say the same for my Accounting class but that one starts at 9.30am and even though I made all of the classes sometimes I was not concentrated.
Weather is still yucky here with temperature ranging somewhere between 10F-30F. I really can't wait for Spring and some warmth in this town. It might change the mood a little bit.
Food is here..I need to eat and study!
Take care

And the vote goes to...
I bet that in 5 years, the presidential elections in Cyprus will be 'the most crucial for the island's history to end the fourth(by then) - decade division'. Like they were today, like they were in 2003, like they were in 1998, like they were in 1993. Cypriots will flood the streets honking their horns, singing, waving Cyprus and Greek flags celebrating the victory of the candidate they voted for. The next day, everybody will go to their work and they will talk about the elections and within a week everything will be back in the normal routine. Politicians will keep on fighting, we will have to listen to them, and then in 3 years we will have the most crucial Parliamentary elections and in 5 years the most crucial Presidential elections. It is a cycle and it keeps going and going and going...
Congratulations to Casoulides and Christofias for getting to the second round of the elections. Now the fun part starts. The two candidates will try to approach the person they were accusing the last 8+ months. They will try to make his voters feeling good by emphasizing their patriotism and we will probably see a cooperation of two parties that have cooperated in the past but it didn't work out. Actually the schmoozing started at around 6.30 pm (Cyprus time) when Papadopoulos was officially third in the run. What will happen, we will know within the next week...but please allow me to make a prediction. I believe that the new President of the Republic of Cyprus will be Dr. Ioannis Casoulides. I guess we will find out in about 160 hours.
By that time, I will be done with 4 more classes, 3 final exams and a final project. I will wake up, I will connect to the radio and I will listen to the radio. I will laugh with stupid comments, I will try to explain to Molly what is going on, and I will retreat to watch Panathinaikos. Life will go on. The Republic of Cyprus will exist and will manage equally well whether the new President is Demetris Christofias or Ioannis Casoulides. I have faith in both of them.
Taking the opportunity of Manchester United's win against Arsenal with 4-0, I will leave you today with a video that I love watching. It is a Rooney goal against Arsenal some years ago. Just forward to the 0.30 and listen to Andy Gray's amazing Scottish accent..
Until Cyprus elects its new president, take care!

Tell me your beer and I will tell you who you support
I was doing some research the other day and quite frankly I found myself on the Reuters India website where there is an article about Cyprus. The article of course describes how the team you support in Cyprus is an indicator of the candidate you will vote for in the elections and it goes on making fun of Cypriots and how Apollon fans are supporters of Kasoulides, Apoel fans are mixed supporters of Tassos and Kasoulides and Omonia fans are hardcore supporters of communist AKEL. And of course the article wraps up with this statement: "In an island where even your taste of beer can show your political preferences". Funny huh..how we think we are the center of the world and how everybody in the world makes fun of us. By that time tomorrow we will probably know the two presidential candidates going into the second round. The candidates have wrapped up their campaigns each with their own tricks and now the power is in the hands of the voters.
Let's just travel a little bit outside Cyprus now and talk about Zimbabwe. I was amazed by what I read today. If you live in Zimbabwe and you are a worker and you get a paycheck (let's assume at 5pm on a Friday) by the time you get home (let's assume at 6pm on Friday) then you might as well throw it away because it will not worth anything. With the highest inflation rate in the world of about 66000% and with predictions saying that it could get up to 1.5million% the situation is crazy. Just imagine the price of a bottle of milk being 1 Zimbabwean dollar on January 1st 2008, with the current inflation rate it will be about 66,000 Zimbabwean dollars on January 1st 2009. Isn't that CRAZY???
Life goes on here as usual. SMESES. School, Meetings, Eat, Study, Eat, Sleep. Final exams are coming up this week for three of my classes. Then there is a week of Business Marketing Academy when we will visit companies in Chicago and then two weeks of Spring Break. And then back to school!
I am off to dinner soon and then some drinking and maybe I will get to see some of the IU basketball game. Even though I am disappointed with coach Kelvin Sampson and his cheating recruiting techniques that hurt the university's reputation, I still hope that I will live the moments of 2002 with a NCAA final. Well..maybe if they bring Bobby Knight back.
Until then, take care

The show must go on...
3 months strike..Writers lost about $260M in earning, other workers in the TV industry lost about $440M, thousands of people lost their job and broadcast television lost audience to cable. The writers strike is finally over! What does this mean for me? I can finally expect that I will watch a NEW Desperate Housewives every Sunday and that I can sit my ass down on Monday and watch Prison Break, Big Bang Theory, How I met your mother, Two and a Half men and Rules of Engagement without them being episodes that I have seen at least 3 times each. Hopefully it is not too late for the season.
On a totally different subject, there is a major reason that I love Kelley School of Business (and a reason I hate it and that is no other than the stupid coffee machine that is STILL NOT working but that is another subject for another time). Unless you are still students, close your eyes and imagine this situation...
You go to bed at 3am on Tuesday morning and you are thinking that you have to wake up at 7.30 so you can make it to your early morning Accounting class because the professor will know if you are not there. You are also thrilled that the case you are going over in class has to do with a company in Belgium that makes toilets. You wake up, you make it to class and you are ready to listen about toilets. The first question you get in class is "How do you differentiate a toilet?". I am thinking that you could get it in different colors, or with a heated seat or maybe you can get a toilet with a screen and an internet connected to it (that was just me imagining here). Hey how about a toilet that cleans you?? How about a toilet that makes you happy? A toilet that starts your day beautiful..and yes ladies and gentlemen..this is how Accounting class started on Tuesday:
http://www.washlet.com/
With a toilet that does everything for you. A toilet that senses your presence and opens the toilet lid when you get close to it...and closes it when you leave. A toilet that flashes on its own. A toilet that cleans you with water and then dries you. If you have some time, check the website. I mean if it had a computer screen and an internet connection I could live in the bathroom..
And all of a sudden, the toilet case becomes interesting, you finally wake up and you pay attention in class. All my credit to the professor for making it real!!
Weather still sucks here..we are in a winter storm right now. It is practically impossible to walk outside with slipping and falling down.
Yahoo will have to wait a little bit more before replacing "Google" in the dictionary since they denied Microsoft's offer of $44.6Billion in an attempt to secure a higher bid. Until Microsoft makes a higher bid, take care..

Lima beans
So we were eating vegetable beef soup that Molly made for dinner tonight when I noticed some green things in the soup. Here is the conversation that followed:
Alkis: "Molly what are these?"
Molly: "Try them, they are good"
Alkis: "Ok..but what are they?"
Molly: "They are lima beans"
Alkis: "Ha..like the animal?"
Molly: "That is LAma"
Anyway, so being like the pamphagos I am, I gave it a try. Didn't really like them but I just ate them since they were in my plate. Turning to Molly, I notice that she herself doesn't eat them but just puts them on the side of her plate. So there is another conversation:
Alkis: "You don't eat your lima beans"
Molly: "I don't like them"
Alkis: "Then why did you tell me that they are good?"
Molly: "I wanted you to try them to see if you will like them"
Alkis: "If you don't like them and you know that I don't like green things why did you put them in there?"
Molly: "Because the recipe said so".
As you can easily imagine this was the highlight of our Sunday which went by smoothly. For the second time this year I refused to wake up to listen to the Salamina game since I decided that there is nothing in it for me. It was a quite disappointing Sunday with United losing to City, Salamina drawing to Apollonas and Olympiakos winning.
Going on to the previous day (Saturday), it was again monotonous. I did not get out of the house at all. Instead I spend most of my day doing programming and surfing on the net..mostly on Facebook. Which brings me to my next subject.
I bet that after "Google" (as a verb), the word "Facebooking" will be the new addition to the English language. It seems that everybody is using it nowadays, and companies started capitalizing on it. People instead of "googling', they are "facebooking" someone they want to learn more about. Isn't it scary?? And on top of that, we have Microsoft making a $45,000,000,000 bid to buy Yahoo and Google complaining about the monopolistic power of Microsoft and any intentions that it might have to drive Google out of the game. Then we will just have to replace the word "google" from the dictionary with the word "yahoo". Until then, take care.

Trojan Horse
Most of you are probably wondering where did this title come from. Well, I have been craving Greek food for a while now and on Friday we decided to go to 'Trojan Horse', a restaurant in Bloomington that calls itself Greek. I always wondered how they stayed in business with such a low quality of food and poor service. It wasn't long before I got my $6.00 'Greek' salad that consisted of ONE tomato, ONE cucumber, THREE olives, about 1/32th of an onion and a little feta that I got my question answered.
Of course during dinner we couldn't help but bringing on the table Molly's favorite subject. "We should open a Cyprus restaurant in Bloomington". I kind of like that discussion because I try to apply what I learned in Business school up to now and with arguments such as high operational costs, low summer season etc. try to convince Molly that it is not a good idea. I never win the argument however, I just quit arguing because I get bored.
We continued our night out at Yogi's for some beers and some chatting with MBA classmates. Nothing fancy there.
On a totally different subject, I just realised today that the Cyprus elections are coming up soon. It will be nice to see the race between the three candidates. Mr. Tassos "I work more than any other Cypriot" Papadopoulos, Mr. Demetris "I was supporting Tassos for 4 years but now I want to be President" Christofias and Mr. Ioannis "I live in my own little world" Casoulides. Good luck to all of them. I would personally vote for Outopos if I were in Cyprus.
Elections are heating up here too with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton racing for the Democrat nomination. No matter how much I tried to understand how the system works here with the primaries etc, I cannot get it. My prediction for the next U.S president....John McCain.
That's all for today..I am off to a 4-hour Panathinaikos festive now. Starting with basketball and then football (or soccer as they call it here). Until then take care

It all starts here...
Welcome to my blog everybody. I guess this is an attempt for me to communicate to you my life in Bloomington or just another excuse for me to procrastinate from studying. We will see how long it will last.
To start with..weather in Bloomington sucks. I never remember so many fluctuations in temperature when I was here before. On Tuesday it was 50F and raining and today it was 15F. And believe me, it is no fun when you have to wait for the bus...at least they are usually on time.
Another full day at school today. I at last had coffee for the first time in three days. I usually get my coffee from the coffee machine in the Business school but it was out of order on Monday and Tuesday. And here comes the question. Why doesn't one of the top schools in the U.S not have a coffee stand? Anyway, I made coffee at home today and took it with me..didn't want to take the chance.
Accounting was fun again. That extra 15 minutes from the 1hr 15mins to 1hr 30mins seem like a century. I had lunch at school (microwaveable stuff since if you want to grab something to eat the closest place you can get something is 5 minutes away, and yes that is a long walk when it is 15F outside).
In Visual Basic we learned about arrays today..or at least tried to learn because I got lost after the first half an hour.
Day proceeded with a visit to Marsh (the grocery store) to do our "small" shopping. After paying for this "small" shopping, I wondered what the "big" will be.
Thursdays are always good because they are soccer nights. After last week's defeat, the team recovered and won the undergrad School of Law team 6-1. Next Thursday is no good because it is Valentine's day..my favorite day of the year:). Somebody who is reading that now will not like that comment but I still love her.
Weekend is coming..can't wait for another weekend in Bloomington. Until then, take care
