so much to say before the memory loss sets in

Well, let me update you onw what happened this week so far –

Monday (geeky)- okay, so I am an obsessive guy. I spent a good part of my day sleeping. (Woke up at 2 in the afternoon. What else could I do?) I basically spend the rest of the day working on some designs for the school web-site. (How ultra-geeky of me.) I have two designs made, and i gave the links to the headmaster to look at and criticize. They are at eggroll and creator1984. I sent the sites out to people to look at, and most people think creator1984 is the better looking one. Ironically, the design was rejected by the ex-headmaster, for reasons unknown. I agree. eggroll was kinda the one I made on the spur of the moment. At least both are better than the one right now. But whatever. I just want my school to look good.

Tuesday (got a tan, ready to flaunt it) - After a four-day weekend, what can you expect of me? Okay, so you think I would be well-rested or at least alert. but I wasn’t. the arrangements for Noche Puertorrique?a are gettign really hectic. And so are the plans for Forensics! Argh! Too many things! plus four articles and sumaries on local corruption were assigned in PR history to be done. Sure, I can write summaries, but it is the fact that I have to translate from spanish. I am no reader of spanish. I’ve lived here on this island for a total of 11 years, and I still can’t read or speak spanish fluently. I’ve recently heard a friend’s Oratoria (Spanish Forensics) speech. It was really intense, but the only words I understood were “Sangre” (Blood) “Sangre” (Blood), and “Dictador” (Dictator). but I think I got the message. They have their competition thsi Saturday. Maybe I will go. At least show them that I support them. *Digital camera was in my hands the whole day. Couldn’t help it, but I took pictures of the One (remember him?). Lately He’s been the fixation of many of my thoughts. Oh well. But he’s straight. And I’m not exactly the kind of guy with the looks to make staright guys change their mind, if you know what I mean.

Wednesday (it caught up with me) - Spending the night before translating articles in spanish word for word and writign sumaries is not a good thing. All those nights of staying up late and sleeping three to five hours has finally caught up with me. I caught a bug last week, which resulted in some sniffing and coughing over the weekend. And a sniffy nose during sex isn’t really nice looking. (Oh! Oh! *sniff* Oh! *snort* *sniff*) You get the picture. Not pretty. but Tuesday morning I wake up with the worse headache and sore throat I have ever experienced. I couldn’t open my eyes properly ala Thom Yorke, but i dressed and was on the way to school. i passed by the school left soem instructions, and left. I slept till 5 in the afternoon. by then I felt so much better. i think I just needed a holiday. The stress is really getting to me. but thanks to friends who can tolerate my eccentric behavior, Ithink Ican make it. I won’t ever have to suffer through ther nervous breakdown I had last year. note; Drank noodle soup and porridge. Not exactly filling.
*Ugh! I find out that the class picture that was scheduled for today was postponed because a certain LADYwho was supposed to take the picture did not show up. that woman is really driving me nuts. just another pound of worry on my wrinkled mind.

Thursday (all better, no sweat, open book) - Missing a day of school due to illness isn’t that bad. Not that much homework missed, and I guess everythign is fine. I’m really getting stressed about this Noche Puertorrique?a thing. What happens if it bombs? I mean, what will I do? I try my best, you know. Sometimes you just have to go your distance. But I am only human.
Highlights of the day:

–Taking pictures of my classmates.

–Upgrading school yearbook computer (how geeky is that?)

–Having lunch with Mike and John. ( I find out afterwards that Mike already knows my deep dark secret. I’m very glad because I totally did now know what his reaction was gonna be. And I sure didn’t want to lose a freindship. Two hours later, another clsoe friend tells me that her boyfriend told her that he knows the secret too. (The secret: I’m gay. homo. queer. in need of a boyfriend.) And more peopel may know! But it’s not an issue. Whoever you are, thanks for understanding. And if you are gay or queer too, drop me a line. I am always willing to help and listen.)

*Yippee! Finished final draft of my Forensics speech! I’ve integrated an Arnold Schwarznegger character (hasta la vista, baby!) and hick rebel son who smokes crack. very funny. Needs polishing, though.
