My almost worried week

This week wasn't a big deal, to be honest it was the same routine as usual, but the good thing is that I have a little time left to do other activities like:

1. Reading books: this week I finished reading two books that I'd been reading for a week, and I started reading a book that Professor Oscar recommended me called Tales of Terror by H.P. Lovecraft; so far I think it's very cool; 2. English exams: On Thursday while I was taking the unit 8 exam, I accidentally hit the option to finish the test and I missed some points to solve and correct, so I got a low grade. I wrote to the teacher Oscar and he very kindly told me that I could raise the grade by doing an activity on unit 9, which I was flabbergasted, but nothing to do; 3. Series: As most people know I love anime, especially BNHA and AOT among others. But lately I've a little question about AOT, since they haven't released another episode for a long time and I'm worried that the series has been cancelled. The truth is that I think this anime is very good since the anime follows almost perfectly the manga, and therefore I hope it has not been canceled; Weekend: This weekend was very relaxing for me, since I didn't have a lot of work to do (almost). On the other hand it was also great because I met a very cool person, we even made a video call and everything; I like him very much because he is very sweet and has a great voice. I just hope we can keep talking and get to know each other more.

My wonderful week

Hi all of ya! I hope you had a great weekend.

First of all as you know I'm a very studious person, where my routine is based on: U classes in the mornings, doing work in the afternoons, studying with courses or other extracurricular things and sleeping at 12 AM. In my concept, study  a lot and learning new things is something satisfying for me, but to sit in front of the laptop and write in the blog very technical things like "The Sun does not turn off if there's no oxygen simply 'cause it works as a nuclear reactor. The pressure and temperature inside the Sun help the different hydrogen atoms that make up the Sun to join together to produce a chemical element called helium". It's very interesting for me to talk about this kind of things but for some of you it's not and it becomes boring, besides the sense of this blog is more than everything to talk about experiences that don't become purely academic, but also in our social life. That's why I've decided that from now on I'll write my blog on Sunday nights, since weekends and holidays are the days when quite "informal" situations happen, so to speak. That said I'm gonna start with my blog today, LET'S GET STARTED!

First of all I want to start by talking about a situation that has been making me and my internship partner uncomfortable on the basis of a student. What happens is that a few days ago this student told us that she had her grandfather in the hospital and blah blah blah, and as good teachers we told her not to worry and that everything was going to be fine and that's all; but during this week my partner and I have been sending messages and audios almost crying sometimes at 11 PM, saying something like: "Professor my grandfather is very sick I do not know what to do" and things like that, practically when I checked my cell phone already had 15 messages; Not to be mean, but to date I haven’t yet answered his messages, even delete the chat. I understand that as a teacher we must be close to our students and be understanding, but this situation has become a little uncomfortable, I know it’ll sound ugly what I'm going to say but she’s forgetting her place passing the line that we’ve raised from the beginning of a purely teacher and student relationship; as I said before I understand that a teacher should be close to his students where he promotes a horizontal relationship, but within that there are limits. The truth is that we don't know what to do, because we don't want him to feel bad, but we also don't know how to act in this situation.

On the other hand, today, Sunday April 25th was my birthday, and it was a very nice day in spite of being locked up. Today I woke up thanks to my mom and my little sister, who came into my room with birthday music and singing to me (especially my little sister, she looked so cute :3). After that I got dressed up for the occasion, and at the same time several relatives called me to congratulate me; others wrote me on facebook and whatsapp. My mom prepared her famous BBQ pork ribs, which I love a lot, and then two of my stepfather's relatives arrived (two nephews), who came to talk to him. I ate so much that I almost had no room left for the food, there was no dessert since I almost don't like to eat cake (but desserts like leche asada, tiramisu etc.. yes). After that my mom, my stepfather and one of his nephews stayed in the living room talking, while I played with my little sister and my stepfather's nephew in my room (I even started to give him a cell biology class about mitosis hahaha).

Practically that was all I did today on my birthday, I know it's not much but what do you expect we’re in mandatory quarantine. Have a happy week, bye.

My Holy Week

Hello everyone, I hope you are very well!

I apologize for not posting anything here for a while. To be honest I'm still not used to write on this page, I know I should do it but my mind says "no, you can do it tomorrow" tomorrow comes and I don't do anything hahahahahah. I really like to write in Notion, which is an application for both mobile and pc that allows me to write texts, lists, checkboxes or bullets, and organize this information in tables, databases, wikis or entries.  There I organize everything I have to do in front of the university, and I also have a personalized space as a diary where I write mostly summaries, concerns, assumptions etc... about: books and manga I read; anime or series I watch; personal reflections and more. I know what you're thinking - "And why don't you do that on Tumblr?"- I honestly don't like it because I'm shy on one hand, and the other is that they are very, very personal things.

But anyway, getting to the point, I'll tell you how was my holy week, make yourselves comfortable and let's get started.

It all started the Sunday before Easter, we left around 10 am with my mom, my little sister, my stepfather and my stepfather's niece who was her first time to go (my relatives were very fond of her) to Saldaña - Tolima, my mom's hometown. We arrived to the town and the first thing I did was to do some work (those teachers have no heart and do not respect the holy week haha). We stayed at my grandparents' house in the countryside which is about 30 minutes away from the town, you may say that it is a long way, but the truth is that you feel that time goes by fast.

During Monday until Wednesday I tried to do as much work as possible, since during Thursday until Holy Sunday I do nothing, especially on Friday. During those days we were eating fish, chicken etc... since it is forbidden to eat red meat until after Good Friday. I spent a lot of time at my aunt's house in town talking and messing around with my cousins, all 3 of us being college students. On Tuesday I think it was, we were talking and bothering my stepfather's niece, to the point that one of my cousins touched a little adult topics, but still we laughed; at the same time another cousin arrived who is younger than me, with whom we do not talk much, but still when my mom goes she tells them to stay with us.

The days passed and the week was ending, what made me laugh is that my younger cousin fell in love with a neighbor and got all intense, to the point of giving her money, and as the girl was not going to receive money hahaha. He was so intense that I had to put him in his place by telling him to stop because he was becoming very annoying. I ground cocoa and different beans, to make the arina of the famous chucula which is a handmade chocolate made with all the beans.

Day in the park

Last Sunday I went to Simon Bolivar Park with my family for a picnic when my mom made BBQ pork ribs, a magician salad with a special sauce, potato salad, rice, and soda. We ate everything and left nothing behind hahaha; then we went to play volleyball for quite a while with penance which consisted of whoever dropped the ball had to do penance, where the first victim was my stepfather's niece who I made dance in front of everyone (she was the only one who did penance since my mom and stepfather refused to do it). Then my mom, my little sister, my stepfather and your niece went to play the children's games while I lay on the grass listening to a video about cell biology and neuroscience.

While they were playing on the playground which took almost an hour, I started to dig through my mom's suitcase to see if there was anything to eat since I was hungry, and I found a bag full of chocolate colombinas which I ate 3 of them hehehehe. While I was waiting for the challenge to arrive, I could see just 4 meters away a camping tent that was moving a lot, where thanks to the rays of the sun that pierced the tent I could see two shadows of people having sex. At that moment I was amazed, and it wasn't only me who noticed it but also a couple that was next to me hahahahah, and after a few minutes the guards arrived as someone had notified them. The guards shook the tent making these people stop, which took a long time to get out because thanks to the shadows you could see these two people getting dressed quickly. After about 15 minutes, a couple came out of the tent, and the guards asked them to dismantle the tent and leave; the guards did not leave until the couple finished gathering their things and left.

I and the people in front of me looked at each other with astonished faces. Ten minutes later all my family returned to where I was, where I then told them what had happened, ending this story.

A Scary Experience.

Hi everyone, I hope your doing well. 

Today in English class, my classmates and I were talking about scary and paranormal experiences, I wanted to participated but I dunno what’s wrong with me, I get very nervous and I prefer to be quiet. but now I’d like to do it here. 

I've only had one experience that really scared me. At that time I was still at school, the math teacher had given us an activity about do surveys (I don't really remember what they were for). With a friend we'd agreed that in the afternoon we're gonna go to survey people at the Gran Plaza, the new shopping mall that had just opened.

Everything was planned but there was one little thing missing, asking my mom if I may. She wasn't at home and to spice things up my cell phone was broken, so I'd nothing to call her with. So I magically found $1.000 pesos and went out to call her at a phone booth. Literally, I called her like twenty thousand times and she didn't answer (I got mad 'cause what about a real emergency and neither my stepfather nor my mom doesn't answer, and to be honest I've never gone out without telling her) at that moment my friend arrived and told me that there was no problem in case something happened so we called them there and we left.

From my house to the mall was half an hour, during the way we talked, laughed and I almost fell for being clueless hehehe. When we arrived at the place I called my mom again, it was 3 o'clock and she didn't answer yet, so no way, we went in and started to do the surveys which we finished almost at half past five. When we left it was a little dark and I got scared, I started to have that feeling that my mother had already arrived at the house and as she didn't answer I hurried to get there as soon as possible.

My friend accompanied me to the house and we went inside; there was my mom waiting for me in the living room about to scold me but when she saw my friend she restrained herself, just said hello and went to her room. My friend only gestured to me from the living room that she was gonna hit me, I could only think of my eminent death hahahaha. I tried to delay giving him something, I didn't want to stay alone with my mom, and when it was time for him to leave I was even more scared.

I went to my room, my mom didn't say anything; I went to the terrace and my mom didn't say anything. When an hour passed I thought it was all a false alarm but I was wrong, my mom called me with a single scream, I was cold, I didn't know what to do. When I went my mom was angry and started to scold me that I supposedly had not called her, I told her that I had. she didn't listen to reason and in the end she hit me, end of history.
