Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This week has been exhausting to say the least. On Thursday I saw my girls in the "The Scribbling of Women" Estacion Literaria VII held in Borders and was very proud of all of them. I still can't believe that Stella dared talk about her boobs in public (which by now are quite famous) and that Thea sang about her vagina (those janitors sure had the time of their lives hearing about that!). Yalitza sang her little heart out and Keyla and me could barely control our tears (you people have turned me into such a wuss). Keyla as always was her strong self and read her thought provoking and heartfelt poetry (me parecia ayer que la llevaba al colegio gateando! LOL) Some professors also read their poetry and were surprinsingly god. It takes me aback sometimes to hear them read their poetry because I think that poetry is like looking into a person's soul somehow. And it is this reason I only show my poetry to my boobies.
After Estacion Literaria I went to Nova Ley with the grad students to hang out. I wasn't in a drinking mood and had to wake up early for a class the next day to be observed in by one of my professors. The uneasiness didn't let me sleep so of course once I got home I had to sleep early and didn't wake up today until really late. I needed the rest. Tomorrow I plan to be correcting essays all day and to read for my Monday class, Materials and Testing... urgh. Seven days of class before the semester is officially done with. My dad was asking me when we need to present grades so that we can have a little family vacation before Rubencito goes to Purdue for the summer. I'm gonna miss him so damn much! I won't have anyone to bug and tease. :(
On good news my friend Mirta is going to be an auntie and is extremely happy about it. So if you read this Mirta Congrats. I haven't been online that much this week because of work and sheer exhaustion. It seems summer heat is early this year because I've been getting frequent migraines. I hope I can get them under control if I get the summer job. I was so bumbed that I can't take Irizarry's summer class INGL 6058: Borderland Hybrids, Clowns, Tricksters, and Spirits. Hopefully I can speak with him later to see if he'll let me take it as an "oyente." Since its only four weeks I will have the other four weeks to work on my thesis. I only need 4 movies to have all of the ones I need. No I will not be using all 9 movies but I want to see which ones will be more relevants for my discussion on the novel and all the research I have gathered. It might seem weird but I am actually really looking foward to having the oportunity to work on my thesis this summer. I still can't believe that this year has gone by this fast and I'm near the end. It was just a few months ago that I graduated from my Bachellors and now I'm almost at the end of the Master's. Time is running too damn fast for comfort (even though I hate the program I'm in). Its not the finishing of the Master's that has me reflecting on time, but the end of another phase of life. Damn this is depressing. I know Keyla and Stella, your about to hit me with something for thinking about it, but its inevitable. I think Viv would agree with me (since she is graduating in a few weeks) that the future is scary but at the same time kinda exciting. I mean look at all time has brought to us: relationships, heartache, love, friendships, knowledge, trials and tribulations, wisdom, and my favorite... sisters. Sure there will be bad stuff, but it only makes all the good stuff seem more wonderful, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I know you are surprised by my glass half full ending. Don't get acostumbed to it. It rarely happens and no I am not drunk. That was last night. LOL. You people have been a bad influence on my outlook on life, you got me thinking that it might be worth while after all. Bad boobies. *Grinning* Since today has been raining all day in Mayaguez... I think the song really is true. "I'm Only Happy When It Rains." :)
