On the continuing saga of the funny shit hitting the fan of my life, I went to the department to enroll in the last courses for the **bullhorn, please** Bachelor in Mathematics,Computer Sciences minor degree. I asked the counselor to check my courses in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises next December.
"Operating Systems - check"
"Linear Algebra - check"
"Abstract Math - check"
"Undergraduate Seminar - check"
"English..."
"What?"
"English. As in second year English. You are missing one English course."
"Pardon my ENGLISH but, WHAT THE FUCK??!!"

Even though I was pissed, it is only an English course, could have been worse, could have been Phys Ed. I proceed to look for courses to select:
Creative Writing - not an option, I need six credits in English Lit AND the English Dept. blessing.
Writing for the Media - no spaces available.
Technical Writing - no spaces available.
Themes in Cinema - of course, no spaces available.
American novel from 1850's to now - no spaces available.

So I had to settle for English literature from 1798 to Modern Age with L's favorite professor: Nandita.

Hilarious.

P.D. I just noticed that during summer there is space available for the course: Writing for the Media. I enrolled in it and I really hope being able to ditch the Literature one. Why should I not be able? The fact is I study at the government's university and it is a possibility that they will close for the summer for lack of funds. Fuck politicians, again!

It is that time of the semester just before finals where all the work heaps up. Been working a lot and finally told officemax that I am leaving. Whoo-hoo!

The attention whore I have for a boyfriend is celebrating his birthday party on May 18. All the details have been immortalized in a flyer. He truly is a fucking diva:




Amongst all the crisis and hysteria going on around here, shit is getting weirder and funnier by the minute. I've been saying WTF? at about 10 mph.
-A legislator called for a press conference to discuss a West Wing episode, and denounce the way the governor had stolen an idea from the show. When asked about the ending where the crisis of the plot is solved, she said she had not seen the whole episode. WTF?? (This is the same braindead zombie who confused Puerto Rican novelist Enrique Laguerre for a soap opera script writer, insisting she loved his TV works. I mean, she is so dumb she cannot even comprehend TV.)
-If I criticize other parties, I won't hesitate to criticize independentists either. Especially when their solution to the national debt is to reform the tax law ... and make it retroactive to last year. Funny shit, I am telling you. On a similar train of thought, keeping our tax returns to pay for this has also been suggested.
-Riot police, schools closed, I must say that in practice we are a very badly planned republic. The United States has not formally acknowledged the situation and the clowns we have for leaders are making things worse.
