In English, we read this very interesting article by Evolutionary Biologist Olivia Judson, and naturally, almost no one actually read it. I strongly believe that the teacher might not have read the article herself, because she really let the entire class move in a completely different direction than the article led. She began with the [...]

Long Time Gone.
Its seems that as soon as Heroes was over I stopped blogging and then, today, one day Before Fugitive’s starts, I come back.
Well, I have a reason for that, I’ve been busy, terribly terribly busy.
My life has been yanked out of its cyclical routine and I was completely dazed and lost, and forgot to [...]

El Estudiante De Salamanca
Estoy leiendo y analizando el poema El Estudiante De Salalmanca de Jose de Espronceda.
Tuve una presentacion ayer, y fue la peor que he dado. Los otros estudiantes de la classe no estaban poniendo attencion, me ignoraron. La unica persona que si puso attancion y pregunto pregundas y pidio clarificasiones fue el profesor.
A media presentacion, todos [...]

We were talking about language, one kid, a complete idiot named William or something, said that humans were the only um, being, that used [...]

Work Is Mostly, Well, Boring.
Today was my first day working without a helper. I did perhaps a grand total of ten things. Among them was answer three calls, make copies, three times and take out the trash.
But the good things are: that the people are very friendly, nothing like where I used to work, and I get to do [...]

First Day of: Classes, Democratic Conventions and Job Hunting.
First, I have class to go to, which I have to admit right now, I have missed going to.
In ASB 102, a class I think I’m going to hate, I felt at home. Once I was in the Lecture hall and the instructor started talking, it felt like it was all good now, and I [...]
