One or Two Things

Que hay? Honestly, I do not know. In an attempt to figure myself out, what goes on may be mundane but general, or exciting but particular. Pero asi es la vida, no?

Packed my life into 2 suitcases when I came here so I can travel comfortably. Little by little, things have been added into it and that number turned into 4, plus a large storage box. I no longer have the ability to pick-up everything and just leave - I have lost that convenience. Yet digging through the 3 years, every bit that I get to call my collection makes me feel glad to have encountered.

¿Qué rapidamente pasa el tiempo, eh? Sin duda, dentro de un mes voy a estar lastimando por no haberme hecho más durante el año. De hecho, ¿qué recuerdos tengo de estos ultimos siete meses?

Empezó el año con el exito de Orientation week. Primero ha sido lo de balonmano si no me equivoco, y luego lo de TEDx. Después, durante las primeras semanas parecia que estaba muy occupado, todo el tiempo. Entre entrenando el nuevo equipo femenino y los novatos, mi propio entrenamiento, y dando unos veinte entrevistas para elegir mi Marketing Team, he conocido a un monton de gente. Tambien, tuvé un entrenamiento de arbitraje, una prueba de competencia (pasando la primera ronda) y gané el Tournamento de Baloncesto UV. 

Pero, mientras tanto, perdí un poco de concentracion sobre los estudios. Me gusto mucho lo de Logic II, Origins of mind, y Foucault, sobre todo, pero parecia que he gastado una cantidad de esfuerzo desproporcionante hacía cosas que no tienen nada que ver con los libros. Aún estaba en un estado de desquilibrio por el incidente de congee, y buscar una nueva alternative era imperativo. 

Pero cuando has convencido a ti mismo que estas atareado hasta el limite, empiezas a perder el sentido de direccion que, a su vez, resulto que la productividad ha disminuido en varias lugares. 

Sin embargo, era muy importante en varios respectos. He conocido a una amiga que al final me ayudó a encontrar lo que puedo a hacer despues de graduacion. Ayer he acceptado la oferta para estudiar mi Masters dentro de cinco meses. Tal vez no todo era tan gris. Pero si hay que dar precaucion para el futuro. Esta bien intentar muchas muchas cosas a la vez, pero nunca se debe perder la direccion.

y... fin.

Back to a blog. This is my diary, my trail of stupid and pointless emotions, moments of creativity, feelings of genius and the lack of thereof; all in one.

1- The “Anonymous Mask”, as it is commonly known, is actually the “Guy Fawkes Mask”. It was used in the late 18th century on Guy Fawkes’ effigies which were then burnt at night. In popular culture, the Mask has been used for the comic, and subsequently the film, “V for Vendetta”. Since then, it...

Truth is emotional, it’s fluid, and above all, it’s human. No matter how quick we get with computers, no matter how much information we have, you’ll never be able to remove the human from the truth-seeking exercise.— Markham Nolan

Private Parts by Sarah Kay

The first love of my life never saw me naked - there was always a parent coming home in half an hour - always a little brother in the next room. Always too much body and not enough time for me to show it. Instead, I gave him my shoulder, my elbow, the bend of my knee - I lent him my corners, my edges, the parts of me I could afford to offer - the parts I had long since given up trying to hide. He never asked for more. He gave me back his eyelashes, the back of his neck, his palms - we held each piece we were given like it was a nectarine that could bruise if we weren’t careful. We collected them like we were trying to build an orchid. And the spaces that he never saw, the ones my parents half labeled “private parts” when I was
