Time to face the future

I'm just filled with dread! I don't know if I'm excited, scared, happy or terrified, but the time to choose a university has come! I want to go to the University of Alberta, since it is FAR away form MX City, but still on the same continent. However, my father refuses to pay for it! It is not that he couldn't afford it, it's more like since he paied his university working as a waiter in the UK, he want me to do the same! One of the notes in getting a study permit in Canada, is you MUST be able to pay the whole duration of the program, you must NOT rely on working to maintain yourself there. If I don't het him to agree, I'll end up in the UNAM here in MX. By itself, it is a great place, I'd be studing in Cuernavaca, but I'm not entirely convinced by it... I want to go somewhere else... I could go to Europe, having the French Baccaleaureat (?) I could get into a CPrèpa (if I improved my grades) or a regular University in the UE unifed......

Happy Whatever!

I don't care what religion suits you, this is the time we should all celebrate family and friends, we should gorge ourselves on good food and spend quality time with our loved ones. If your a muslim, jewish, or other, just be happy! Exchange gifts and have good wishes, that is what we should all celebrate, not someone's supposed birth... X-mas is more that just a chrisitan tradition, it has become a global event (who doesn't have a Chisrmas tree?), and I think most self-proclaimed christians do not remember the christ so much these days... Oh well, religion has sparked too many a conflict, gifts are more friendly.

In other news, I took a one week vacation to Acapulco, the beach was nice and the weather good. I ate more that I thought I could (Applebee's, Hard Rock Café, Planet Hollywood, Sushi Itto....) and lazyied around the pool sunbathing. Great break from the daily routine of school.

Speaking of the devil, this is my final......

So long ago...

Between school and school, I haven't had the time to update this blog. I opened another one on Spaces Live, so I'm kind of unsure about which will get the most attention. At present, I'm thinking about making one a personal blog (me, myself and I basically) and the other a narrative, a short story of sorts... I'd prefer keeping this one as the personal one as I can get some safe anonimity amongst the community, but the I prefer this one for long texts... Stay tuned, and if you're interested, I'd appreciate ideas!

I still hate school

I just read in Newsweek en Espa?ol that Nicolas Sarkozy, the french president, has implemented some pro-american policies. About time, France has always critized everything the US do, yet they reluctantly agree with them. I mean, they keep thinking, and pondring, and evaluating, and calculating, yet when it comes to action, it is always "je doute, donc je pense, donc je suis". There isn't a "je fait" included. It would appear Sarkozy (Sarko l'américain comme on dit...) has finally broken centuries old dogma. Good for you!

On another note, I've decided to rebuild my LEGO collection. I had no idea I had some sets, but I'm still building them. So far I've got 5 ships, 2 vehicles, and an outpost. Quite a small collection, but I guess I was not all that pempered when little...

Il me faut coucher t?t, à la prochaine!

I hate school

So I haven't been posting for a few weeks, well school has taken up much of my time. That's why I hate it...

What's new? Well I accidentally rammed a street pole (you know, the one's filled with concrete?) that wrecked my car's front. It was 6AM, I was drowsy and my front lights decided to turn off. I'm getting those blasted lights fixed...

I downloaded BitComet's eMule plugin (a must have!), has been working great, til now. BC claims it isn't installed... I'll check the forums later on.

On another note, I've finally got the first season of Farscape. By far, my favorite SciFi series of all time!

Finally, it appears my carnivourous plant (dioneae MUSCIPULLA) is finally getting over that hidious fungus. Believe it or not, the fungus came from a desert plant, a zotolín (native to the southern mexican desert). How it managed to survive in a marsh plant, I have no idea... Fungi are weird...

So happy together

I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR!

I'm still having trouble with the clutch, but I'm getting the hang of it. Sitll, to avoid the 7 AM traffic jams, I'm arriving at school at 6AM, that means getting up at quarter to 5AM. I'm the first student to arrive! Classes start at 8AM, so I have plenty of time to catch up on homework. I've yet to do any work at home :D Of course I'm virutally alone 'til around 7:30, but I'm comfortable alone. Right now you must be thinking I'm crazy, but you've got no idea how hellish mexican trafic jams can be... Anyhow, I'm the envy of all my car-less friends (and even some owners...) and I've got no homework what so ever.

I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR!

I'm walking on sunshine!

The End IS Coming

As soon as I wrote Al Gore in last post, the sky bursted and hail came pourring down. At first, it was a usual storm, I mean this is Mexico City, it rains. But then, hail became bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until I was deafened by it hitting my ceiling.

Please don't let there be a frog in this...

I ran to get the pets indoors, and was struck dumb by what I saw. Before Mexico City was rebuilt by civilized conquistadores, this was the Great Tenochtitlan, built over a LAKE. I was beggining to picture canals instead of streets. On one corner, a foot high stack of hail; on the other, a cluged up sewer drain.

In this corner, the heavyweight champion...

Not Good. My bathroom, being indoors, has air ventilation on the roof; well it too got hailed. My garden, or more suiting what reamined of what once was a garden, was drowned it freezing water, covered by hail.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

The only other time this much hail has blasted the surface with it's fury was 1998, Al Gore'......

Promotion, return to the roots

Today I made Second Lieutenant. Guess I'm still going up! (to where?...)

I went back to Morrowind today. Such a game,incrediblemusic, great gameplay, terrific in almost every way. I got Oblivion, but it's kind of borring: too monotonous. Everywhere you look there are forests, forests, mountaing WITH forests, and lake-side forests. I expected to see the beginings of the Else Where dessert (or desert? think sand), perhaps the great swamps of Argonia, the massive trees of Valenwood, the ashlands of Morrowind (or what remains of them...), but no, the unimaginative at Bethesda went with forests as far as the eye can see... And the main quest didn't help, so repetitive... Even if Shivering Isles compensates for everything (great expansion, WOW, a must have), it is still the only expansion (sorry Knights, you're more of a plugin) available, and frankly,Morrowind was considrably better exploited. However, Morrowind is limiting... Without the script-spell function (finally someone thought ......

To roam or not to roam...

What car should I get, a '99 Sunfire, a 2002 Ka, or a 2000 Neon... I'd like the Sunfire, but my friends say it would be a difficult car due to it's age. The Ka is too little of a car, I'm not sure I like it. The Neon is just too big, I'll spend a fortune on gas... I could keep searching, or I could buy nothing at all, but I need a car... The great drama of my life, atleast for now. Classes start wednesaday, I don't want to go !

Well this is new....

I just saw today that BitComet has extended itself onto MySpace-ish community. Good for us! Atleast we do something productive with our time: share information. I saw today I rank as a "Staff Sargeant", don't know how high I'm in the chain, but is sounds good! This is progressively becoming less and less of a Beta. First with passport, then rank, now a blog! This only needs a forum and voila! Good for BitComet!
