*Watches fire*

Posted by Choco at 08:05 PM on March 3, 2004.

Wow, I haven't updated this in over a month! Time just flies so fast. College has kept me incredibly busy, thankfully this semester is over.

I've been on a break since friday and it'll last three weeks until I have to start my next semester, so right now I'm bored out of my mind. Since I'm on vacation the logical thing for me to do would be going to the beach or the mountains or something, apparently fate has decided that it's not going to happen.

Things where I live have been getting pretty bad, the violence has escalated to incredibly dangerous amounts. There have been news going around about how things are getting ugly in Venezuela, sadly it's all true and a lot worse, it's depressing seeing pictures and reading things like these: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=589&ncid=734&e=5&u=/ap/20040303/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/venezuela_protests

So many people are getting hurt and killed because one moron who just won't give up because he's power hungry. I've been stuck in my house all these days because people outside are burning trash, tires, matresses, parts of old cars, etc. as a protest against everything that has been going on these past few days. I took a few pictures but they're blurry because things started happening at night and I didn't have my tripod with me:

Those pictures are from yesterday night and some from today. It's terrifying to know that you can't get out of your own appartment because it's surrounded by fire everywhere.

I'm sick of having to run away from tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets. I'm getting scared seeing people walk around with stones and Molotov cocktails in their hands, I just want this whole thing to be over once and for all.

Of course, while I'm writing this there's a big bonfire going on out there. My house is black right now because of all the smoke..... again......

Being healthy is good :)

Thankfully, I'm feeling much better now than I did a few days ago. Mid-terms are over too so that's one less reason to worry. Hopefully things will stay peaceful for a while.

Being sick is no fun

Posted by Choco at 07:38 PM on January 26, 2004.

So, I'm really sick today. I think this is the strongest flu I've ever gotten. I was supposed to go to college today to talk to a teacher but I had a killer headache, fever and I was incredibly dizzy... not a good combo. I guess the stress of these past few weeks finally caught up to me.

Thank God for Atamel and Coricidin though, those are miracle medicines. I don't know what I would do without them. I just looked in the mirror and I look almost dead >_< I hope to feel better by tomorrow, I have a pretty big math test and i just can't miss it.

Some free time... finally!

Posted by Choco at 09:59 PM on January 23, 2004.

I haven't updated in a while, things have been kinda busy for me this past week, college is once again taking up most of my time.

On Monday and Tuesday I had to get together with a few of my classmates to do a project, both days we started at 3:00 in the afternoon and ended up leaving the library at 11:00 PM. I got so sleep those days.

On Wednesday I had to get up extra early to study for my Ethics final since I didn't have a chance to do so the past two days. Once again: no sleep whatsoever.

Yesterday we had to hand another project to a teacher that never bothered to show up which bothered me even more. Thankfully today was a lot more relaxed but still... it's at moments like this when I miss high school.

On a happier note my dad got my old computer chair fixed, it's all cushiony and soft now not like before, I used to feel like I was sitting on a piece of wood

Procrastinating.....

Posted by Choco at 10:20 AM on January 12, 2004.

Procrastinating, procrastinating, procrastinating... I think it's quite obvious that I'm procrastinating right now. Tomorrow I have a Calculus midterm, what would a normal person do? Study. What do I do? Wonder if I should start making a new layout instead.

Thankfully one of our teachers didn't come today so I have two extra hours for "studying". I know I really should start soon because the exam is pretty long but still....*sigh* Can anyone give me some motivation?

What can I say? Mondays suck
Currently feeling: lazy
