58. Holidays are over...
Sep. 16th, 2016 10:32 amHello, minna-san…!
I was hoping I could update this old pod of memories more often, since I'm highly compromised to fulfill my weekly posting of dance covers –only interrupted by my holidays, and only because I don't have any place to record them :/
So, anyways… our lovely holidays finally reached to an end last Monday 12th, which was the date we were supposed to come back from our little break in between our term… Seriously, sometimes I wonder what people think when they're organizing our schedules and stuff. I mean, you don't have to be a genius to figure that having a break of a month for something called "intensivos" (which I don't have the slightest idea of how to translate in English), not in the middle of the semester but almost at the end, only to come back for three more weeks to finish the semester is not the smartest idea… like, ever…
But anyways, we were supposed to come back by last Sunday to start classes (at least, me and my sister, since bro finished his internship last month and he's not taking any classes anymore), and where are we? Well, if you guessed a couple of hundred of kilometers, at the other side of the country… Then you guessed right ._. We're still in Maturin, and this time is wasn't because we couldn't catch a bus, which was the case before. We couldn't leave before because dad and I had no money. My cousins, who sometimes help us out, had no money. In conclusion, nobody had any money because any single coin that we get is to pay some meek food to sort of survive every day…
/lesigh
I'd wish to say we're somewhat better than last time I posted anything (which was 7 or 5 months ago), but that would be a fat lie… Things are getting a lot worse economically speaking. Even though our President raised the minimum wage, that still doesn't let us get food ._. Mainly because there's still not much food to get. Secondly, because the food we can actually get can either kill us or it's extremely expensive. Everything is getting imported and they pay the real dollar price for that food, not what the government says it's the dollar price, so they sell it real expensive. And I'm not even joking about the "killing us" part. A lot of bastards and assholes are mixing up shit with the food so they weight more and they can charge more, even though that could kill us (like some bastards were mixing milk in powder for little kids with calk and a lot of kids ended up dying for that, or they were selling bitter yuca which is extremely poisonous)… But anyway, I got some payment for my T.A. job at uni and I immediately gave it all to my mom, so dad has been saying that we managed to eat a couple of times thanks to me. They're really proud of me about that, but I can't help feeling like shit because I know that feels a bit embarrassed or something because he cannot support us like he used to. I don't feel proud of myself, I wish I could do even more for them. They're –we all– are going through a rough moment and I just wish there was a way to ease it out for them…
Unfortunately, I don't even earn minimum wage with my T.A. job at uni and I'm re-starting with my teaching job next week, so that means I'm not getting any money yet…
Anyways… I should be fixing my baggage for the trip to come. We're planning to take a lot of clothes and things with us, because it's kinda definitive that we're staying longer in Mérida, even though we're doing our best to graduate by December. But sister just started studying and brother might have probably gotten a job in the place he was doing his internship and I want to continue working, so we'll definitely staying longer. Mom and dad are doing their own plans to move with us because life in Mérida is a lot better than in Maturín. Because it's mostly an agricultural state, food tent to be a lot cheaper than in here. And also we're living together in the same place and my parents want to move there with us because we spent awesome days there during my birthday… However, we were supposed to go today (Thursday 15th), but were recommended to leave on Friday because today was supposed to be a political parade in Caracas. The parade is on Friday and it would be troublesome for us to be in the capital during a parade, so we changed the tickets for Saturday. It sucks because on Saturday is my friend Jairo's b-day and we won't be able to be there… But well, I can finally be in Mérida on time for starting classes in Fundaidiomas, even though I've been missing classes for uni ._.
I think I'm losing track of my thoughts in here… Evs…! I wanted to say that I'm also trying out different social media this time around. I'm planning all kinds of things and I wanted to share my progress with all of you, since they say that helps to fulfill the goals that we aim to reach. And so, I wanted to share here my different accounts and hope that you follow me or friend me or whatever you do on Youtube xD
LJ (ofc) // Twitter // Facebook // Youtube // Instagram
You can also ask for my LINE and WhatsApp ;)
Is it bad that I count them as Social Network? /bricked
Now, after the shameless advertizing, I guess I have nothing else to say… Oh, yes, I forgot! I wanted to share some cute pics with my family from my birthday. We didn't throw a party of anything, just ate a bunch of pieces of cake and talked a lot and drank Sevillana together and… well, laughed and ate and talked, what else could I have asked for?
Why having one cake when you can have 5?
And with this images, I welcomed my 28-year-old-self last July… Sometimes I still can't believe I'm actually 28 xD It kinda makes me laugh because of all the plans I had before and that changed throughout my way here xD Poor 18-year-old-me knew nothing xD
And now I think I'm really done for today… I'll try to update you guys with a special post before I reach Mérida and I'll def update you as soon as I'm there….!!
Ta da~
Let me know what you're up to as well ;)
XOXO
