Of this and that

Little Oedipus told me:

Mum, I love you so much, that I can't really explain it.

One,
Two,
Three,

All together now:

A A W W W!

Todays poet is Rilke, .
Rainer Maria Rilke

We are the driving ones.
Ah, but the step of time:
think of it as a dream
in what forever remains.

All that is hurrying
soon will be over with;
only what lasts can bring
us to the truth.

Young men, don't put your trust
into the trials of flight,
into the hot and quick.

All things already rest:
darkness and morning light,
flower and book.

Yesterday I met dreadful_dolly and Matt;

They are a lovely couple, sweet and fun at the same time. I love to see my city through their eyes, a lot of things that I'm totally used about are extrange for them. I like that.

I had planned to made them a reality tour adventuring to th poorest zone of the city, through an avenue that encircle all of our capital. But instead, we found our self in awfull trafic jam, cut streets and all kind of hellish things. Add an awfull heat AND we had pollution Alert, and we went to one of the most polluted part.

We end really tired, hungry and dehidrated.
Poor Matt even get car sickness (Silver beetle could be cool, but is not a good experience for the ones in the back seat).

The silly thing is that every chilean I told what I did screams in horror: WHAT!, everyone nows that avenue is a living hell right now, everyone except me, it seems.

We will need to do a walking tour to repair the damage ;)

I also meet Pepe (http://www.savepepe.com/) which should be called Pepa because is a female lovebird. She is as cute as it looks.

As for fan fiction,pandora_nervosa rec a Snape /Bill ficlet, http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/josan/hp/curse.html; Snape is sort of Pawn to queen one, but I love it, just a piece:

He wrapped his arms around himself, a gesture that seemed so part of him Bill only now noticed that, without the long sleeves of his teaching robe, the gesture was more one of self-protection than arrogant disdain.


I want to start writing again. I'm in need of angst things. It will help me vent. I'm starting to fall into pieces after all March stuff, today a friend ask me how I was, and I just start crying with no apparent reason. Not like me. Definetly not, at least not at this time of the month, PMS is far away.

4 funerals and a wedding, sent my attempts to dreawn in angst far away, this is hilarious


In a weird note: For the last two weeks I had find my self longing for a glass of coke at nights. This is a craving as if my body needs it. I never drink it, I'm not a coke fan.

And no, I'm not pregnant, thank you.

Good luck with your PSU, life does not depend on that, even if social presure make it look as that. Besides, there are always oportunities, just need to luck for them. What are you planning to study?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_smashing_mona_/]

PSU sucks, the fact that you have to give a test to show what you're able to do with your life sucks heh and yeah, there're always oportunities ^^ I wanna study Medicine, I know I ain't got the BEST grades, but still I'm in 3º Medio and I have 2 years to make my best to get what I want, and also I wanna be an artist *sighs*
But I don't wanna study arts first cuz I'll need money so I need a support first and also I love Medicine (L):)!!

Actually, PSU doesn't grade *you*, but take a photo of your current comprehensionals skills.
Educational research shows that if someone with bad PSU get remedial aids, in the next four semester he/she could be at the same level than someone with a higher grade of PSU.
I'm an university proffesor and I could tell you that I felt that reading could help you a lot. Appart from prepearing the test, and study for school (lot of work those two), try to read, and read, and read. What ever you want.

My students lack of good comprehensional skills, their vocabulary is poor, and that - believe it or not - affect their critical thinking capacity. I ran a little survey in a class, and only 3 out of 30 read a book that wasnt given by the tacher last year. 5 went to the teather, none to a concert. So their Cultural Capital is poor, and that affect their whole intelectual develpoment. If you like art and sience, start reading and going out to art related performances, there are lot of free stuff you could try.

Good luck in your preparation.

Thank you for the tips!
Yeah, I'm reading in English and Spanish,
I was reading a book "Night" I don't remember the author, but he won the Nobel Prize for Literature on 1989 I think and it's kool..and I have to read two books per month at school..
What do you think about pre-colleges, do they really help you?

[nocturnus33]

Night by Elie Wiesel?

It seems that you already have an intelectual curiousity, thats is tons more than others that the schools system has smash their brain in thoise 12 years ;)

pre-colleges

Good question, they could help if they are taken seriously, but be carefull not to over do it, these are nice years for you.

Enjoy them
