59. A new me... hopefully

I've been giving it a lot of thought to my life since I turned 29. Like I said last year, I'm not anywhere near I thought I'd be by the time I'd be this old. So, there's like a ton of things to reconsider now.

I haven't finished my dissertation. I haven't even handed or gotten my research project approved. And yet, I keep telling my parents I'll be graduated by December. Yeah, I'm a big fat liar, that's what I am. I just can't seem to find the strength or motivation in me to read and fix everything that needs to be fixed.

I shall do it, though... Sooner or later /bricked

However, I have a lot of plans as well. I want to continue with my dance cover videos, because they made me super happy and I'm in serious need of some physical activity. It's true what Yoko once said, the closer you are to being 30, the harder it is to lose weight and stay fit. Just some months ago I was super duper skinny (so much that my whole family was worried sick) and now some of my pants don't fit anymore :/

Because of that I started taking aerial silks lessons with one of my friends (Pao-nyan) since last week. It's just so funny because she was one of my worst-coordinated friends ever and now she's teaching me to do all kinds of figures in silks. So sometimes I'm not even sure I can trust her xD But she's been training for a year now, and she's very good at it... My body is aching a little bit, but I'm not all that rusty as I thought, so this should be fun... Maybe I'll post some pics once I can do something more than just getting on the silks xD

I've also been writing lately. There's a multichapter I want to post and I have it up to  5 complete chapters and 1 prologue... But since I don't have a beta reader, I'm  not confident enough to post it. I mean, it's been months (maybe more than a year even o.O) since I last posted a fic, so yeah... I'm not confident anybody would want to read it, so I'm waiting for a beta to kick my butt and help me finish it...

As for classes, I spend all week teaching English in the mornings and I give private lessons to a guy in the afternoons. Those private lessons have given me a break, since he pays in cash, so I don't have to go to the bank evey day. Seriously, the situation of cash in Venezuela is so hard to deal with and to even believe... But I'm happy I can cooperate in the house with some cash, since my FUNDAIDIOMAS paycheck would help literally for nothing .-.

I don't want to start a rant about the situation of the country. I want to keep this journal positive and with good vibes, so I can continue improving things every day. However, yesterday we had the governor elections and 17 states are now governed by the PSUV (the Chavistas that are in the power right now). I'm sort of happy because Mérida is not one of those states, but Maturín is and so I can't help thinking about my family there. But anyway...

See just how horrible this map looks? It's giving me the creeps, to tell you the truth...

I don't want to end my first post in months with such a saddening fact, but I really ran out of things to update. I'll try my best to share more happy things next time...

And you, have anything happy/exciting/interesting you wanna share with me? ;)
