Into the Light [2]

Second semester was probably one of the most interesting ones, I won't lie, it was filled with easy courses (due to the professors), but it was fun.

For that semester, there were three groups, the groups were assigned depending on our average. I was on the "best" group, so that helped, everyone was more calmed now, and the group was relatively small, which helped me relate to other people more. I got some friends there, Rubén and Maricela, we didn't talked much (yet), but we did hung together at tines. We mostly started talking because we wanted to switch into the morning groups (I can't remember exactly why).

The most notable teacher I met in that semester was my teacher from "Laboratory equipment usage", she was nice and made the class fun with her constant jokes. Overall, everyone enjoyed the course with her.

That semester also happened to be the best that I had (I think), with an average of 8.9.

Into the Light [1]

High shool started, I was really nervous on my first day. It was the first time I was going to take classes in the afernoon only. I think my schedule was from 1:20PM - 7:40PM the whole week.

While CECyTEM was still a public school, it still had a much different demographic in it compared to my Junior High school. 

The first day, I arrived slightly late, and I really didn't know anyone in the class, which was bad, because all of them knew each other, but I can't rememer exactly why, but I think someone mentioned something about Ozzy Osbourne and I replied back saying he was pretty cool, and then we started talking about him. It was a guy named Ricardo, he can pretty much be considered my first friend from High School. He was nice, but we were really really opposite things, so we didn't talk for long in the semester. Actually, that was a huge problem, all of my classmates were so not like me. They loved to drink a lot, skip classes and such. I was not any close to that, so I didn't fit well in the class, which acted as an advantage, because since I was not their friend, I was not forced to be with them when they skipped class and they were fine with that. And, honestly, I would like to be friends with people that prioritize alcohol over their study.

My parents didn't had much faith on me, and I promised to myself to get better grades in high school. I don't know how, but I managed to pass all my courses with relatively good grades. I got an average of 8.7 on my first semester. I remember I was the only one who passed the Algebra course, mainly because I at least tried to do the homework.

I met a teacher that I really appreciated on that semester, she is named Marta Ortega, and gave me the course of "Reading, writing and oral expression I". She really trusted on me and she was really nice with the whole class. Imagine my surpirse when I found her in a classroom at the FESC when I was in first semester, it turns out she also teaches in UNAM. When she saw me there, she said: "I knew you were going to reach this far.", it really made me smile.

Due to me grades, I was offered to switch to my schedule for second semester to the morning groups, but I declined it, the afternoon classes weren't that bad, everything felt more relaxed, and I liked it that way.

Overall, first semester of High School was good, I found out that there was still hope left for me and what was even better, it was just the beggining!

Colorful dark blue

Tonight will be the night.

Grab my hand and sit tight.

Because our hearts will mark the flight.

Let the borders be our lights.

It’s time to achieve something we won’t forget.

My heart will not reset.

This dream is not over yet.

Nor my will to feel your lips.

Feeling crazy, thinking hazy, occasion…amazing.

Let our minds connect through our eyes.

This ride may not be for the wise.

But I'm sure it is worth the prize.

Infinite, endless, let our love be restless.

Surround me with your arms and let’s fly.

The end might be nearby.

May our souls forever shine.

I wrote this thinking of an scenario like this one: 

Boring

This day has been very boring. Pharmacology was terribly boring. We lost one hour of the class because there was no light on the school.

Physical Chemistry was sadly boring too, the professor is going really slowly, we should be close to halfway through the course now, yet, we're still on the very first stuff from the course.

There was a test for Immunology. I really had no idea that there was, so I didn't studied, but I think I did good, we'll see.

After that it was just physical chemistry and phytochemistry the rest of the day an night. There's a test of Analytical chemistry today, but I doubt I'll even pass the test.

Day 12/13: Results

Yesterday was really slow. We had a special dinner because of Saul's graduation. I played The Sims 3 on the morning and then brawl and kart with my cousins on the evening and...that was pretty much it.

Today was pretty much the same, though I only played Warioware and The Sims 3. My aunt from Acapulco left today.

Day 11: Lazy

Today I woke up early so I could go to my cousin's graduation ceremony in his elementary school. It lasted aproximately 3 hours or so. It was boring, really. But my cousin was happy and he was the second best student in his class, I feel proud of him.

I returned home just to have breakfast and I slept for 3 hours after that. I woke up and my grandma had the lunch ready...really early. I ate and stayed some minutes talking to one of my aunts and my grandmother. I then went to the roof and sit there for an our or so. Jorge went upstairs too, but he got bored and went downstairs again. It was also raining and the wind was really strong, I like it, it was relaxing. Though, I think there's a big storm coming. I stayed there listening to music and then decided to go downstairs. My cousins were playing Brawl, so I joined them. They're really starting to get good at it, except Jorge, I think he is the worst player between us.

Around 10PM dinner was ready, my aunt made molletes, though, I wasn't hungry at all, so I didn't ate much. I was going to wash the dishes, but my grandmother didn't want me to do that, so she asked for my three cousins to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. And that was pretty much it.

Oh, my aunt gave me some money for me, but I don't know what to do with it, I saw some good games for cheap, but I don't know if I should buy one of those cheap games or save it for one of the (many) upcoming releases...

Tomorrow we'll have a small party for my cousin, so it won't be as relaxing as today was, I think. 

Day 10: Reversal

Today was simple, I went to the church and then returned home, where I passed the rest of the day.

I didn't do much today. I just washed the dishes, ate and played Brawl with my cousins. I also took care of my sick cousin in the day and talked to my grandmother on the night. I finally found something that I have in common with my grandfather, my grandma says that the two of us hate to be touched in the belly.

It's weird, everytime I come here I kinda forget of all the things that worries me, or some thoughts that bother me. I also like to come to the chruch from here. I wish I could stay here longer...

My other grandma was burried today, my mother told me that, as expected, everyone was asking: "Where is my grandma's favorite?". I kinda feel bad, but my mother told me that there was a lot of people there, so I really don't feel bad for being absent.

My cousin is insisting me more and more that we should box soon, it's funny, because when I had his age, I was the one insisting and he was the one that didn't want to...

Día 9: Viviendo la vida en tercera dimensión

Hoy falleció mi abuela por parte de mi papá. No me siento mal, de hecho me siento feliz, pues ahora sí descansará, cosa que mi padre y mis tíos fracasaron en proveerle. Lo único por lo que me siento mal es por no estar en su funeral a pesar que yo era "el favorito", pero como mi madre dijo, si voy para allá no sería a verla, sino a ver a los demás.

Hoy fuimos a comer a un bonito restaurante para festejar el cumpleaños de mi tía. Comí una hamburguesa muy buena a decir verdad, lástima que sus precios eran exageradamente caros.

Estuve casi todo el día cuidando a mi prima con síndrome de down porque mis tías y primos no podían hacerlo (sarcasm alert!). No me molesta...mucho. He de confesar que alrededor de la hora 4 me comencé a hartar de cuidarla, pues repite muchas preguntas tontas intencionalmente, pero logré aguantarla por 6 horas.

Vi un montón de juegos baratos por allá, pero no le pedi ni uno a mis tías, pues sentí que sería un abuso, digo, me pagaron el boleto de venida y regreso del autobus para las vacaciones.

Regresé a la casa para andar un rato en la computadora y después bajé a cenar. Volvi a subir para bañarme y dormir. Por cierto, mi primo encontró un alacrán, me dan demasiado miedo esas cosas, espero no toparme con uno de nuevo.

Mañana entierran a mi abuela, espero que todo salga bien.

Day 8: Twisted luck

Today was sort of slow again, I went downstairs around 10PM, I ate two ham sandwiches and played Monkey Ball the whole morning, I finally beat the Expert stages. I stopped playing around 2PM, just in time for getting lunch, we got fried cheese quesadillas, they were great, no one ate a lot of them though...

We returned to the park that I showed before, it was pretty full, there was a soccer tourney going on. Jorge actually participated and won his match, he will play again tomorrow the semi-finals, I'm sure he will win tomorrow. We returned to the house around 8PM, my aunt made...more ham sandwiches! Though, she didn't know I had that for breakfast. They were pretty good anyways. I played New Mario Bros with my cousins for a while, I got bored very quickly. 

After insisting a lot, I gave my Golden Eye disc and my phone to my aunt in exchange of her phone. It isn't that great, but certainly better and more expensive than both, the game and my phone combined. I still feel a little bit guilty...but well, she insisted...

Tomorrow my cousin and her son are leaving to Taxco, that's good, because that kid was starting to annoy me. Mainly because her mother barely takes care of him and my other cousins seem to think that he is a toy. Plus, he pees all over the house. .___.

I kinda want to go to the beach...I don't know if I actually want to go swim or just take pictures...but I won't let my family know, I don't want them to spend more money on me, since they're not letting me pay anything...

Day 7: All together alone

Today was sort of boring. I woke up early, but I stayed on the computer 'till 11AM, when I got downstairs my aunt asked me to go with her to pick up Saul from his school. I said yes, I was kinda hungry though...luckily she stopped at a tacos stall and bought some tacos to bring to the house. The potato taco was nice.

My cousins played the Wii the whole day, I just watched, since they were playing one player games only, like Zelda. I was on the computer till 6PM; I went upstairs to the roof to enjoy the view by myself. I sure enjoyed it. I wonder if I'll ever be able to have some time to enjoy the view and relax when I become older....

This is were I sat

The view was quite nice

A ship left the dock, and they let the horn sound, I forgot about that and couldn't record it. I also saw like 3 balloons that were floating around, I'm sure one was a UFO though. :p
But it probably was a balloon since elementary schools are having their events (ceremonies?) for the 6th graders. I stayed up there until 8PM.

I later went downstairs and played Monkey Ball, but I did worse than yesterday, so I let my cousins play it more. We unlocked a mini game, Monkey Golf...as you might guess, they didn't like it, We made it to the hole.

One of my aunts came to visit and brought more tacos for dinner, I didn't eat much since I was full, my grandmother gave me 7 enchiladas for lunch around 4PM, I was really full. 

And that's pretty much it, I talked a bit with Jorge before getting on bed...I hope tomorrow is even better than today.

Day 6: Warmth

I decided to start blogging my vacations. I already missed 5 days, but they really didn't had that much activity other than going to the church on sunday and to Coyuca on monday.

Today really started slow. I (finally) woke up early, though, there was no one awake at that time, my grandmother, aunt, cousin and her son went to the market to buy fish. So I was left alone with Jorge, he woke up later, I played Super Monkey Ball on the morning, but I was doing really bad, so I decided to do something else. Jorge stayed playing Golden Eye, they really seem to like it, I might give them my disc. I really don't play it anymore. Saul actually wants me to trade him my game for his cellphone. I said him no, since the phone is worth like 5 copies of the game.

I visit downtown with my cousins and my aunts. I really didn't find anything interesting, there was a lot of traffic and the weather was very hot. I was also feeling tired, since I was wearing sandals. I did took some pictures, my aunt bought Jorge and I some nachos, they weren't that great...

We returned home and ate "picadas" ( or sopes), basically they're like a thick tortilla with cheese, beans, onions and MOAR cheese. I really like those. I played few New Super Mario Bros. with my cousins before going upstairs to start writing this.

While I was writing this Jorge came into the room to ask me if I was going to the park with the family, I said yes since I was starting to get bored, though, I wasn't really sure if it was a good idea, since I get bored quickly. The park was nice, is relatively close to the house, it's small, but you can have fun there nevertheless. 

Jorge went to play soccer with some of his friends that he found on the park, Saul and my cousin's son went to the playground, while my aunts, my cousin (Karen) and I went to those weird exercising...things (third photo). It was nice, I was there for an hour I think. They're not that tiring at first, but they did make me sweat a lot. We might return soon. I like one were you had to sit and pull the tubes to lift yourself. It was really tiring. I did 3 series of 30, it was a bit tiring, though, my arms don't hurt. 

Also, the view from the park, and these exercising things was pretty nice!

We returned and all I wanted to do was to take a shower, but my aunts wanted to clean the small pool in the house so my cousins could get in, so I helped them there too. Though, I think that was way more tiring than exercising at the park, haha!

When we were done one of my aunts decided to do some pancakes, they were good, though, the best part was to drink really really cold milk, I love it! I stay few minutes downstairs before returning to my room, I am a little exhausted. Oh, I talked a little with my mom on dinner, she says she really misses me, but that she prefers me being here rather than being in the house alone.

Overall, today was kinda fun, I passed a good time with my family and had some fun. I wonder what we will do in the coming days? I hope we go to the aquarium, I'd like to go there, it isn't big, but it is fun.

Oh! Also, I'm finally starting to feel the hot temperature here, today the real feel was around 35-36°C, that's too much for me. Though, it was cloudy at the afternoon. The weather is really nice right now, there's some wind and the toads finally shut up. I don't know if it is because it stopped raining or because my uncle cut some of the branches where the toads were at the night.

Sunrise

A warrior must stand up if the enemy throws him to the floor...those are the words one must understand and live with in order to become the king, that is the pain that one must endure and live with in order to improve as being.

Forgotten sounds

Fake words run through the misty wind, they try to reach as far and deep as they can, but no one knows the truth nor the strength they carry. Too bad their destiny is no other but to fail and disappear in the cold, just like the rest of my thoughts.

Few things are the ones that I fear the most, especially those words…those damned words which had to resurface just when I needed them the least. Doubting of my actions and decisions, I fall, victim of a silent, yet strong enemy…my past.

Creatures from the abyss, remind me how to lie.

Broken eyes

How do you recover from a loss? What do you do when the embrace of the cold loneliness runs through your soul? Do you let go on everything you thought? Where is the limit?

A deserted future awaits. All the things that I cared the most left, all the memories of happiness and joy vanished to never return. But…what is what follows? Dissemble a smile? Struggle to retrieve a false memory? Make everybody forget about me? Tears keep flowing through my face even though they will not do anything.

Souls from beyond, teach me how to live.

The fallen warrior

He found himself in war again...shadows forced him to forget his strength, time to seal his doom. He did not wanted to, but he is there, steady, brave and ready; almost as if he does not remembers he lost his weapons during the journey...I wish you the best, my warrior. Now rest, because your time to leave this plane has arrived.
