I started my spring break last Friday, here in Mexico, they have spring break during Holy week.
I haven't done much on my break, lets see. On Friday, i got out of school at 11:30, however i talked to Kelli during my numerical methods class and a little after i got out of classes, i walked out to the small outside cafeteria and tried to show it to her, however, for some reason, my stupid computer doesn't work well with video when it is not plugged to the power. I brought it with me to the library so that i could try to Skype with her, we did for a while, but then i lost her. She doesn't have much reception in her room, she was sitting on Lauren's bed, just to get the most of it. I hope she gets better soon, for she sprained her ankle a few days ago, it must be horrible to walk with crutches. I've never had to, but when i hurt my neck, the neck thing i had to use was so uncomfortable..., plus knowing Kelli, she likes to be running and jumping around. :) once i lost her i was bored for a while, for everyone still had class, walked around, said hi to a few people. Oh btw, it was really funny, for when i was Skyping and talking out loud, everyone was giving me this weirdo look; i could imagine them inside their heads saying: "Why is that guy talking to himself, or to his computer, he must be nuts or something" ha ha.
At 12, R told me she would meet me at the Cafe at 2 pm, so i waited in "Las Quesadillas" ( a little food shop close to the engineering labs) and had myself a torta de milanesa with fries on the side. I met my friend Arturo there, he was about to eat too, we talked and stuff and he passed some movies and TV series onto my computer. Arturo is a really weird guy, he's very nice, but he's weird big time, he's really quiet most of the time, and he says he's got no friends, just mates. But i don't care i know we all who hang out together with him are all his friends.
At 2, i went to the cafe and waited for R, i realized that it was really hot and sunny outside, and i just hate to get sunburned. so i decided to wait in front of the water font in a table with an umbrella. I saw her as she was walking towards the cafe, i was gonna walk up to her there, but then i thought of the Hot sun, and i just yelled her name out. She came and sat next to me, its really funny for she was dressed in green. Ever since i told her i liked how green looked on her, she has dressed in it twice, and i have seen her 3 times ever since then. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, i just think its funny. I think it's weird, for the color green has had a lot of influence on my life lately, just a lot of stuff that are close to me are green or have something to do with it. I think i should make up a story or a poem about green.
Later on a group of friends and me went to the movies and saw "How to train your Dragon", it was a really good movie, i liked it a lot. We hung out at Starbucks for a while and then i came back to school, where my friend Carlos went to pick me up, we were about to play Night Gotcha.
It was about the second time that i played Gotcha in my life, none the less at night, it was really fun, i got hit about a dozen times and many of them on my mask, you can see how the paint hits, some of them were on my legs and i got bruises. It was all worth it though, i had lots of fun.
Saturday and Sunday i did nothing... Today, i'm going to call a few friends to see if they wanna go play Basketball, and maybe i'll start out on the green story or poem.
This week was really full of events. I got my grade, which were surprisingly awesome, with exception of Dynamics, i got a 75, it it weren't for that, i would have got a higher average. Right now i have got a 92 average, which is good, but i know i can do better. People call me "Nionio" ni, standing for the letter enie, i don't have it in my keyboard, you know the n with the little ~ on top. "nionio" means Nerd, they don't say it in a mean way however, its just that i always get good marks, and i always want to get higher marks, for me a b is unacceptable, it feels as though i failed.
This week, Tec de Monterrey was dressed in black, two students died in between a shooting outside of school in the Monterrey campus. It's a shame on how some innocent people are killed because of the narcotics traffic and the war between the army and the organized crime. According to the Dean's version, the students walked out of school, they were confused with hitm hit-men en and they were shot by the police. They were hidden at the morgue for two days, and the police was trying to hide their identities, until the university kept pushing for them and the families recognized the bodies. Lately, the cartels and the police have got more violent against each other, for President Calderon is really cornering them, and when any animal is cornered, it tends to be more aggressive and attack. Unfortunately, us innocent regular people, when caught in between, also pay the consequences. I was planning on attending the Monterrey campus, i really wanted to be there, for i would be closer to home, Houston is only 6 hours away. I'd be able to visit every 2 weeks or so, from here, it takes 20 hours by car to get there. However, even though i really want to go there, i won't for now, my mom would get really worried about me if i did. And when my mom gets worried, she tends to get sick. I don't want that. My dad called me really worried, the day following the shooting, asking me not to live in Monterrey, or to just move back home. My family is currently in a bad economical situation, which is why i left in the first place. He was telling me that we'd find a way, and to be honest it sounds really tempting, to go back home and be with my family and friends over there. I pray only that my dad is able to get the job that he wants, it would make our lives way easier.
I sigh when i think of my story, I've passed through so many things you'd never imagine.
I still don't know what i'll do, and while i give it a thought, i'll pass the time caught up in Physics, Differential Equations, Greek letters and my dreams that stand before me.
