I'm doing 26 things
Arrgh… Today I’m coming to my translation class prepared for the test in banking and what should I get but a test not merely in banking material but in all the stuff we’ve covered in the past term!!! Boy did I see red!!! I returned the answer sheet completely blank and while everybody around me was sweatblooding over the test I bit into Toni Morrison’s Playing in the Dark. Good thing I did, cuz she was just talking about my favorite Hemingway and the way he uses black Africanist presence in His fiction… nothing better than reading about a book you have actually read. Plus… Nobody did especially good in the test and we’re retaking it in two weeks’ time :) Conclusion: read whenever you can :)

After reading “For whom the bell tolls”, besides falling in love with Hemingway, I got this crazy idea I wanted to get my hair shaven just like Maria had hers. And I did, eventually. I loved it and kept cutting it for two years, and now I’m back to the standard medium length. It’s great fun playing with your image. Just do it.
you people are lucky… I’ve one more year to go and then I’m LEAVING… to start new studies!!! (that is IF I get the scholarship… but I simply must get it. There can be no other option :)
