This is going to be one of the most boring (and paranoid) weeks ever. There’s a swine flu outbreak in my city so everything’s paralyzed. No college, no movie theaters. Malls are completely out of the question because we’re “strongly advised” not to go.
Some people are so stupid and start with their conspiracy theories: “oh, it must be the aliens”, “the government’s to blame”, “it’s just an attack from the right/left wing”…. IF there’s a conspiracy theory, I bet they started the virus aimed to idiots like them and many others

Growing up I was such an overprotected kid. My mother and grandmother were a bit too much on the religious side (still are, but I don’t pay attention anymore). I attended an all-girls catholic elementary school until 5th grade; sleepovers were NOT part of my social activities… well, you can imagine how fun my childhood was. Of course, if you ask my mom she will deny it… as many mothers do…. hi mom!
Anyway, never complained about it because that was the only way I knew. I had never been away from home without my parents or any other relative. By the time I started highschool, I wasn’t that goody-two-shoes girl I used to be. Some of those changes were quite stupid and pointless, but it was improving already. My first run in with liberty was a weekend camp, I might talk about it some other day.
I was lucky enough to study in private schools, although some of my problems can be tracked from those times. Yes, I admit I tend to dislike certain persons based on their looks or preferences. Why? Because they use(d) to dislike me as well, based on the same values, so it’s mutual.
Nevermind, my highschool had great international programs so I convinced my parents to spend some time abroad… in Spain. I wasn’t going to be alone since it was a group of 20 students and 2 teachers… but I was thrilled.
After I crossed the security checkpoint, it dawned on me that I was ON MY OWN. Yeah, the other persons wouldn’t take care of me so everything was up to ME. It wasn’t my first flight but it was way longer than the ones I had previously taken. Things were alright until we arrived in Madrid-Barajas airport: my bag was nowhere to be seen.
So there I was, in a “weird” country I had never set foot in. All tired and sweaty… and no clean undies. To make things worse, it was Sunday and most big stores were closed or would close soon. There was no way I could make it on time, since we were 1 hour away from the city (they had told us it was 10 minutes… suuuure) in the middle of nowhere. I felt completely hopeless and wanted to go home with mommy…. blah, kids.

I’ve been feeling sick-sleepy all day. Haven’t worked on my project at all… just spent the day looking at funny images and articles on Encyclopedia Dramatica and some other sites. Sigh, hope I won’t regret it tomorrow.

… Is my birthday. Didn’t do much, just went out to eat…had cake and all. I’ve had better birthdays but can’t complain about this. Hope I get what I want. Since I’m too sleepy to think, I’ll call it a night. See you.

Hey, the assigment went alright. As usual, it needs changes but it’s going to be fine. As for my exam, it was postponed to next Thursday because time was up and we got some problems with the render.
Tomorrow is my birthday. Got absolutely no plans to celebrate it, but I’m sure something will come up… or maybe not. I’m feeling a bit down anyway.
