What Summer Looks Like From May
Semester is ending, and the fact that I haven’t posted here regularly has been nagging me like a tiny fly in the back of my mind. Some would say that school is to blame for the lack of blogging, but in my case, I think it may be Twitter.:-/ Microblogging killed regular blogging. Sad.
I have 2 final exams to contend with: I’m not quite ready for either, and being sick (again!) hasn’t helped much. I’ve missed more classes these past few weeks than I did the rest of the semester. Bad move on my part, but I couldn’t help it. However, I’m confident I’ll be able to pull through and pass both courses with good grades.
Another time-consumer has been Fotutos y Cuchufletes: my latest project – I’d say my first organized and money-making project. It’s been slow on the takeoff, but I’ve received great feedback mostly. On Monday, I’ll be taking the merch out for a spin at an artisan’s faire in the Hospital del Maestro in Hato Rey. We’ll see if that can help me gather up enough funds to pay for the car and the marbete this month.
There’s also the arrival of the cat, Gallifrey. Two weeks and a half ago, a kitten crossed my path, quite literally, to results very similar to Caprica’s. He had his eyes entirely covered with secretions due to conjunctivitis and couldn’t see where he was going, so he ended up crawling up a truck’s tire. He could have died, but instead he burst into my life with his toilet-paper-wasting ways. He’s much better now (conjunctivitis is gone, his respiratory tract infection is still being taken care of, and stomach parasites have been erradicated!), and making our lives more … interesting.
So, summer is arriving and it looks promising, to say the least. Possibilities of a summer job have arised, let’s see if they materialize. If they do, I’ll have the strangest job in my life yet, and it will most probably be fun too. No more details until I know for sure.
