I've been really busy lately hanging out with my extended family. My relatives from England came to visit for two weeks and everybody in my family had been bringing them out to dinner, to places of interest, etc. We don't get to see them often (the last time was four years ago) so we were all so very excited to see them.

We had our last lesson on Comparative Politics on Thursday, during which I got pregnant 11 times, found out that I was married to my classmate Terrence whom my prof nicknamed 'Bakumba', and who would prefer that I remain uneducated so that all I'd do is have sex, get pregnant and give birth.

It's the song of the week because I'll probably be listening to it over and over again for the whole of this week. And maybe the next. And the week after the next. Unfortunately, this is the only song by Carlos Baute that I like. He also sang a duet version of the same song with Marta Sánchez that is really lovely, but ( Read more... )

I don't understand Comparative Politics, I really don't. It's one thing to be an opinionated person, but it's an entirely different thing altogether to be able to form opinions on Politics.

The life of a full-time undergraduate is supposed to be extremely fulfilling. You go to school, hang out with friends, participate in numerous activities and just basically enjoy having tons and tons of sheer-good fun.

I've been wanting to purchase a paid Livejournal account for a while now, so a couple of hours ago I decided that it's time I did, and went ahead with the transaction.
I wanted to explore the new perks that came with the paid account and started clicking around right after I paid for it. But then I realised something, the username reflected at the ( Read more... )

I must rave about Joshua Bell.

My sister and I went to watch him perform with the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields, and they completely blew me away. Even my sister, who was so sure that she would fall asleep during the concert said that "it was really amazing."
They performed Mozart's Overture: Marriage of Figaro K492, Beethoven's Violin ( Read more... )
