New Project: The Iupi Survival Guide
To give this blog a breath of life, I'm writing a survival guide to my campus. A nice recollection of all my experiences there and why I don't regret a single minute of it. Each post will be in Spanish (because I plan on publishing it later here in Puerto Rico) then translated in English. I plan on covering all the bases here, from before class starts to graduation, and that includes everything. Note that:
A) THIS IS NOT BY ANYWAY SANCTIONED BY THE UPR ADMINISTRATION OR AFFLIATES. This is merely a retelling of all tricks one picks up along the way.
B) THERE WILL BE CURSING. A LOT. You will understand why.
The Blog is right here: The Iupi Survival Guide | La Guia para Sobrevivir la Iupi

LOLWAT.
Wow, since October. Goddamn. Tumblr is one hell of a drug.
All the updates are either there, Plurk, or Twitter. But I am le pissed at Twitter for shutting down Twidroid on my eReader. I'm missing it already. Dammit.
Updates:
* Passed the last semester with flying As. I haven't seen something so glorious since my first year.
* I finally filled out my graduation form. I am officially graduating in May/June/WHENEVER.
* I've reached a point of my life that I can achieve balance between classes, social life (friends, parties, MOVIES), entertainment (drawing, writing, rp-ing,)
* Still don't have a job but I keep on looking~
* Still able to apply to Law School! Will do so before March 25!
Will update later or just check out the links above...currently constructing a

And the last 2 months have been possibly the most miserable in the last few years. I have a freaking F on Audit, it's been one month since my uncle's death, and I can't find a job. Then I had another car accident because it slid down a slippery road. What pisses me off is how fast my step-grandmother started badmouthing me to my other grandmother. I realized something: somehow in the last 4 years, I became my little's sisters' babysitter, tutor, and driver. I did it all out of being a good daughter and as favor to severely overworked parents. But something happens and, no matter what it is...it becomes my fault. Fuck this, I'm 21 credits away from graduating; I don't need this.
I'm just really scared that I won't graduate and get into the law school I want because I fucked up in one miserable class. I'm already an expense to my parents, I lost family members, my car and now this on my last fucking year. I know life goes on but GODDAMN I NEED TO BREAK SOME PLATES.

Ever had your body just sleep on you while your body's still awake? Yeah that happened this Tuesday while I was pulling my last Business English report out of my ass. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me? I still have a MORNING (because 10 am is still morning for me with a side of lunch) mentality and then my body decides "Fuck that, we're watching the Adult Swim reruns and maybe even catch Married with Children at 5am just to be safe...Better yet! Don't sleep at all! And while you're at it, drive 25 minutes to college and pretend I don't weigh 12 tons when you get to the class..."
...I have a comically adversarial relationship with the sleep part of my hypothalamus. Most notably during ANY break from class.
Speaking of which...
I cannot stress this enough, after two years of surviving accounting classes (excluding the basics I took on 1st year) Next semester is just gravy, leaving me more time to sleep, less hair to pull out, and more time for whatever...

As of Monday, June 21, 2010, the nearly 60-day system-wide strike of the University of Puerto Rico has come to an official close, and Dia is cautiously happy. So why am I cautiously happy? Various reasons listed here:
01. The administration, particularly the President of Trustees (Presidenta de Sindicos) has acted in such a manner that makes people perceive she is a sore loser. The conditions imposed by her had no standing or favor with students, parents and professors (100% Credit Price increase, the possibility of criminal charges against the students participating, ect).
02. The dates chosen to resume classes. My twin's campus is the host for the Central American Games so there might be an inconsistency in resuming their finals. Meanwhile, I'll be back in class on July 5 so here's me enjoying the last of this break. On the plus side, there's a chance I can recover my Audit (CONT4017) grade and finals and [DRUMROLL PLEZ] I don't have to wake up early!
03. Not related to the Strike directly (or is it?), Shawn's body will be updated and the arc hopefully before Psych resumes their 5th Season (Yay!) Still, as much fun as drawing the strip is, it's an exhausting labor of love and thank you guys for being so damn patient!

01. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, 53 DAY ALL CAMPUS UPR STRIKE... But it's almost done and it's back to class...for two weeks :|||||
02. LSAT is done! That was excruciating 6 HOURS of test sections and fuck my life, I hope I get more than 150 to get into UPR Law School.
03. Who got a BlackBerry after 3 years of prodding and bitching?
04. Yes, I have too much time to waste but I almost found a job selling knives to bored housewives....Yeah, that's accessory to involuntary penile removal. Shawn's body will be updated soon enough!
05. Summer cleaning...I think an old shirt of mine became an ecosystem...
06. Good news everyone, my braces are off! Bad news, my doctor wants me to get my nose operated T^T This is my grandmother's nose okay? And it worked great for her! Rest in peace Abuela Grace.
07. I have found myself between flirting with guys and keeping them away with a 6-ft pole...reasons? I didn't know how much I missed the single life.
Well, that's a pretty good summary to my life for the last 6 months and here's hoping for less drama and more fun!
