ok, this is elsa. a bit drunk, very drunk, looking at every tecla of of the keyboard because she cannot write faster than a something that writes fast. i learned mecanografia when i was in college or secundaria, we call it secudaria, it seems so retro though, who learns mecanografia now? I guess I'm lucky because I can write without looking at the keyboard, and I use all my fingers, also the meñique (la ñ la escribo con ALT+164). OK, I'm drunk, should I not wxhibit myself in my own blog?--look at me, i even try to keep my spelling intact. Tonight it was Alice's birthday, it was like wonderland and I had fun; and it is tuesday and we drank so much in a night in which St Andrews doesn't drink. Everything closes early and i'm not wearing my glasses, and everything moves. I had more than one draught. I like draught and that's one of the things i will miss from St andrews, though St Andrews wont be missed too much. It has its missable things but they are not many. I...

Ayer Mr. Lodge llevó vino a la clase para celebrar que era el último día. Mientras tomaba y medio me emborrachaba me imaginaba si habrá sido guapo de joven. Concluí que sí. Y me enamoré (en mi borrachez) Ayer me acordé de una conversación que tuve con el hermano Juan sobre la forma en la que los mexicanos nos despedimos y de todo lo que nos tardamos en hacerlo. Me dio mucha risa otra vez Hoy es la linea muerta para mi ensayo. Después de reescribirlo y reempezar dos veces no he podido terminar, es como una pesadilla. Y me pregunto (me pregunto, me pregunto) Qué me pasa si yo no era así? lo juro, yo no era así Hoy me desperté cantando: "when i wake up early in the morning (lalalala) I'm still yawning" de los beatles Y ya

Bueno, yo, antes de leer el libro le dije a la maestra que creia que lo podia aplicar a algo de latinoamerica y le encantó la idea, me preguntó: tu a qué tipo de tipo de análisis estas acostumbrada? literario? político? YO: (expresión de no mames, a ninguno) ...mmm, literaria? AH perfecto, pues analiza un texto latinoamericano y trata de encontrar un paralelo con lo que Said dice. -------------- Cual texto? (me pregunta) YO: mmmm No lo he pensado, le digo mañana? YO: (mañana- o sea la semana pasada) Mejor analizo nomas el libro (JAJAJA, bueno, lo adorné un poquito) Ella: No, no quiero que me hagas un reporte del libro, compa...
