I guess I just can’t keep promises; well…I can…but not these kinds of promises. My life lately is full of random events that I am unaware of; sometimes they are pleasant, sometimes they interfere with my academic success, sometimes they get on my nerves, you get the point. Summer is coming along anyways, and when I say summer I really mean summer in two ways: one being that the summer vacations are almost here (I must say that summer isn’t actually summer when there’s school) and the summer season is starting to be felt lately since the temperature is getting warmer and warmer. Okay, I’m stopping here with summer since I said it to much…

I’m such a procrastinator it’s impossible, I do everything at the very last minutes and it’s seriously starting to affect my life (okay maybe not that bad). I don’t know if you recall me talking about this propaganda campaign project that we need to present in class, which is an interdisciplinary project putting in context mathematics as well as English, that project. Turns out it’s due for Monday and we hadn’t even started yet, and I’m saying this as if we were Saturday. So of course we needed to work on the project during the week end…but because of my unpredictable life there were some tiny (HUGE) constraints. I was supposed to do a short video on Friday with my brother, let’s just say that he wasn’t really up to it. In my mind it wasn’t a big deal since we always had Saturday…NOT! My mom tells me that we’re heading to my cousins’ (okay that I knew…I just temporarily forgot). How am I going to film now? There wasn’t any other option…I needed to film at my cousins’. When you think about it it’s a bit rude…but knowing my cousins they just don’t mind (they’re the ones with whom I did the Pokerface Spoof Video Clip). I was right, my cousins’ gladly contributed to the making of the video and it’s actually good. I just didn’t want the whole filming process to consume all of our quality time as family and in the end it wasn’t the case. We had time to do other stuff…like crazy stuff. We took a walk to the video store and we acted like kids…or mentally retarded people (I’m not always up for that kind of behaviour but it doesn’t hurt once in a while). My brother, my younger cousin and a friend were constantly stopping on the side to hug random trees while my cousin and I were pretending we were those “intersection volunteer people”, you know the ones with the stop signs and the whistle. When we got close to the video store my brother found a lonely shopping cart. He putted it to good use; my cousin’s friend volunteered to be the crash test dummy in the cart. When she was well positioned my brother started running around, jumping of sidewalks and causing an uproar in the street; an uproar that included our laughter.

When we finally got back at their house we crashed in the backyard. We started random discussions and the subject of Harry Potter vs. Twilight popped up. It was quite interesting, my cousin has quite a strong opinion (she tripped out on me when she read my blog…the part where I said that the Twilight movie was actually not bad…). In the end Harry Potter obviously won…he always does.
When we left my cousin’s that night I was really late…can’t really remember. The only thing I recall is that I was editing the video at 1 in the morning and then I was in bed.
What do you know, it’s Saturday and I haven’t started the written part of my project. But my day was already planned that morning, and I made sure to get rid of all of the unpredictable events. It was clear, I get to Em’s at 10…and I leave then when I’m done…if I ever get the damn thing done. Time went by quickly…next thing you know it’s 3 o’clock and Em needs to head to the dance studio to get her pictures taken. I tagged along, I couldn’t go in the room with her (obviously) so I sat instead in a waiting room, which was super tiny, and I waited. It’s crazy how some people have loud conversations when you’re around them, and as soon as you glance they freak out (at least I think) as if you’re eavesdropping on their conversation. They were two girls a few steps away from me and one of them was reading some dirty text that she got from a guy out loud, laughing her head off in the process. After that she looks at her friend (at least I think she was) and starts telling her how one day she’ll end up being a lesbian whatsoever. I kind of tried to ignore them, but they were really loud, so I listened…I mean if I didn’t I wouldn’t be writing this right? Anyways, I finished the project at 8 that night…and I had some finishing touches to bring to the video once I got home. I didn’t go to bed so late…it was only (I wish I could say only) 11.

I seriously need to stop writing these huge posts; they’re a complete waste of time. I don’t really feel like writing something about school…I told myself that I would stop…it’s long, repetitive, demoralizing…I need to stop. The only actual fun part was that…WE DIDN’T GET TO PRESENT TODAY! I’m so happy, there was 10 minutes left to the period (last period of the day) and we were up next. When the team before us finished the teacher figured that we didn’t have enough time to present. More time means more stuff to add to the presentation. Right now I’m working on the project and my task consists on finding some pictures of celebrities that can give a testimonial of our mathematician. Some pictures are really suggestive…like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Angelina Jolie. Surprisingly Lady Gaga had some decent pictures. I really like Lady Gaga, I mean she might be this weird chick but I find her stage persona so intriguing and original, and her music is really good…beat wise. I’ll talk about that in another post.
I’m going back to work now, I should be finished soon. I’ve been looking at other people’s blogs lately and I have noticed that at the end of some peoples’ posts they suggest songs that you should listen to. I think I should start doing that to. Got to go now…don’t want to procrastinate no more.
