2 more weeks

I have only 2 weeks left at the Hospital. After that I´m heading back to regular classes for my 2nd semester (no vacations at all). It has been an amazing experience at the hospital, I´ve really learned a lot about the health department in my city. I´m also getting done with the english classes I´m teaching and hoping to start new courses pretty soon.

Cuando se pierde la direccion

¿Y qué se hace cuando la indiferencia golpea tan fuerte que la realidad decide tornarse opaca? Tierra, mi tierra hasta ahora sufre. Gente, mi gente incluso mañana llora. “No hay como la ausencia para sentir la querencia…” dice una bella canción, tampoco como la presencia para cauterizar la misma. ¿Cómo se recupera el rumbo cuando la brújula se niega a mostrarnos el camino a seguir? El que está en la luz se burla del que anda a tientas, no por méritos, sino porque sus circunstancias son mejores. Pero pasado un rato, el de la oscuridad ve más claro que el que está en la luz pero ya es muy tarde para querer guiar al de la luz, por vergüenza… no, creo que es por orgullo, y orgullo de ambos.

Well, my job at the newspaper didn't last long. Actually, I'm really glad it didn't. I had to travel for like 2 hours back and foward to my job every day... EXHAUSTING... But that wasn't the worst part. I was simply measuring some publicity from the most representative newspapers ALL DAY LONG. That's right, 8 hours measuring squares...

I'm doing my practice now at the local hospital, and I'm loving it. It has a more flexible schedule and I don't HAVE TO TRAVEL!!! It's actually like 2 blocks from my house. I do get some real work and I'm learning a lot there. But also, since I don't have to travel I was able to accept a job teaching english on my free time, and though the pay is not fantastic, hey, it's a new experience, I like teaching, and I get paid for it. So that's me right now.

Ese aviso en Miami lo dice todo no? Comence esta semana a trabajar en el periodico, la verdad, estoy bastante desubicado y perdido pero poco a poco va mejorando. Estoy dispuesto a pasar por este periodo de ubicacion y parece una muy buena empresa en la cual trabajar. Nada como esa sensacion de saber que estas haciendo para comenzar a sentirte valioso en lo que estas haciendo, no? Bueno, este periodo va a pasar tambien.

A los que no lo han leido les recomiendo un libro espectacular del premio nobel colombiano Gabo Marquez: "100 an'os de soledad" lo estoy leyendo otra vez y es espectacular. Altamente recomendado.... 

FINALLY...

Well, for those who don't know, my semester at college is divided in 2. The first 3 months I attend classes and the other 3 months I get to go to a company to do a practice in a real enviroment. So, I'm done with the first part and in one week I'm leaving to another city not really far, which is called Pereira and is much bigger than my hometown. I'm doing my practice in a local newspaper and honestly I'm really excited about it. We'll see where this leads me. I'm also getting training to teach english but is not certain yet when I'm gonna get to start. Starting yesterday, my father moved back into the house, he got a good job here and I'm happy for my mother specially. I think I'm gonna have more time off so I'll write more eventually.
