First day of 2011. Comment ça va ? It's been a while, and when I'm saying a while I'm talking about at least six months, even more, not sure. A quick update:

1. A month ago, I was at university and just in front of me there was a big picture/poster, and a calendar too, in which you can see the whole structure of Translation Studies for each language ( Read more... )

1) I don't remember the date; let's say a few days ago, I was translating at work. Suddenly, my boss asked me: "Hey, Sebas, when was the last time that you visited France?" So, I answered him: Never, actually. He thought a little bit and finally said: "Oh, really? I thought you had already been there two or three times in the past ( Read more... )

It's been ages (15 days) since I've written anything here. Why? Basically, I've been completely focused on my studies and I have to say that I'm more than satisfied with my results because I achieved my goals for this year ^^ I'm not going to tell every single detail of my last days of exams, let's say: It's over! At least, for two months...

She's sleeping now. She looks so lovely, so beautiful to me. I love her.

Last night I was having a break of Madame Bovary, so I went to the kitchen, ate some cookies, drank a tea and turned on the tv. I have to say that I don't have a tv in my bedroom since I've turned 10 or 11 years old. In fact, I rarely watch tv. Although, I do watch tv series like House MD, True Blood, Californication or The office, but not on tv. ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a maniac day since I've been doing a freaking global warming translation... It was a tough job, but it's over now. In fact, after this whole translation issue, I was completely exhausted and, at the same time, I was all tense. So I listened to music, a little bit of Peter Gabriel, Queen, Simply Red and I finally felt more relaxed ( Read more... )

We had a lovely saturday and as I don't have free time to tell the whole story or to make a huge description about all we've seen, I've uploaded two little videos: we were at Centro Cultural Recoleta in a Cárlos(Charles) Thays exposition (El jardinero francés de Buenos Aires). Maybe after exams and all that stuff, i'll be able to update more ( Read more... )

Presently, i'm reading L'amant de Marguerite Duras, which is a good and a hard novel to read. In fact, i strongly recommend it. If you'd like to know why i'm saying this, you'll need to check the plot of the book, which i'm not going to explain here because i'm running out of time to do it. (Ok, i'll say something: It's far away from being a ( Read more... )

Waiting
In the calm of desolation
Wanting to break
From this circle of confusion

Sleeping
In the depths of isolation
Trying to wake
From this daydream of illusion

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really ( Read more... )

Let's talk about my whole translator wannabe situation. First of all, in february 2008, i passed three university entrance exams of French language: oral and writing stuff; Spanish writing too. In fact, i got better results in French writing than in Spanish writing. My French oral was a 28,50/30. It was a nice first step (technically is the second ( Read more... )
