Today was a quite interesting day. I went to the planning meeting at Microbotix and met a whole bunch of new people. I will be giving courses at The Irish School along with Sergio and Jimena. I met Sergio, he's a nice guy. Jimena, well she didn't go to the meeting, but i talked to her on the phone, she sounded very nice. I'll meet her on Tuesday when we go teach the first robotics class of the semester.
I'm really excited about teaching, this is the first time in my life that i will be doing so. Well, without counting the tutoring I've given at school. I really don't know what impression i can leave on kids, i can maybe try to make a difference by teaching them something different than just the course materials. :)
I will be going to the main office this week, to discuss with the general director about the translating and redesigning of the robotics course. It seems to me that i will have quite a blast in this job.
Today i met one of the pretties girls i've seen while i've been in Mexico. Her name is Rebecca, she is old though, she's around 22, 23. I didn't really ask her. She's a cute redhead that studies psychology and the Ibero-American University. I think its cool how she has some interest in robotics, even though her field is way off. But anyway. I just think she's cute. I don't really like her. For me to like someone, more than looks is needed. I would have to have known her a little bit for me to decide. That's what i've learned over the last few months. And its really good i think that way now.
We finished the meeting at 2:00 and i was given a case with robots and lots of materials for class giving. I will be the Case Guardian, as they call the person who carries it around, for i am the one who has a car. Good thing i will get a bonus for that.
I Finally finished reading Dracula by Bram Stocker. I absolutely Loved it. One of my favorites so far; even though i would say it is a draw between Dracula and Frankenstein.
And i leave you with a poem inspired by the book that i liked very much.
The vampire by Rudyard Kipling
A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you or I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair,
(We called her the woman who did not care),
But the fool he called her his lady fair--
(Even as you or I!)
Oh, the years we waste and the tears we waste,
And the work of our head and hand
Belong to the woman who did not know
(And now we know that she never could know)
And did not understand!
A fool there was and his goods he spent,
(Even as you or I!)
Honour and faith and a sure intent
(And it wasn't the least what the lady meant),
But a fool must follow his natural bent
(Even as you or I!)
Oh, the toil we lost and the spoil we lost
And the excellent things we planned
Belong to the woman who didn't know why
(And now we know that she never knew why)
And did not understand!
The fool was stripped to his foolish hide,
(Even as you or I!)
Which she might have seen when she threw him aside--
(But it isn't on record the lady tried)
So some of him lived but the most of him died--
(Even as you or I!)
``And it isn't the shame and it isn't the blame
That stings like a white-hot brand--
It's coming to know that she never knew why
(Seeing, at last, she could never know why)
And never could understand!''
