On one hand, this piece of news makes me feel extremely giddy because they seem to be an awesome couple, Jensen deserves to be happy and I think that marriage is great. On the other hand, I feel a little bit discomfited because this means I'll be drooling after a married man and that makes me feel a little bit guilty. Even though I'm perfectly aware of the fact that nothing will ever happen and that I'm not hurting anyone by it. You could say I have an extremely scrupulous conscience. Nothing I can do about it.

I hope they have a happy and lasting marriage and I wish the best to the happy couple.

There are times in which I regret deeply choosing to major in English Literature. Mainly because of times like now in which I can barely keep my eyes open and my head upright. Then, there are those times in which I'm in the middle of studying or researching for a project and I come across essays with names like Intuitive versus Rational Judgment and the Role of Stereotyping in the Human Condition: Kirk or Spock? and I can't help but think that my major is the most awesome thing in the world.

Woo! Last day of the Happiness meme. I think I've never updated for a whole week straight. This is all thanks to house_of_lantis who posted this in her journal.

I haven't been posting much lately, so,to remedy that, I'll be doing a meme I found in house_of_lantis' journal.

( Day 1 )

Having a test, midterm or exam pushed forward almost a week is awesome unless it is pushed forward to a day in which you have another test, midterm or exam, or the reason it is being pushed forward is because your teacher has had an accident. Well, the Phonetics and Phonology midterm I was supposed to sit tomorrow has been pushed forward because our professor fell and cracked her skull open.

On one hand I'm happy because I have more time to study, on the other I feel terribly guilty for wishing with all my heart something would happen so I wouldn't have to sit the test tomorrow. My professor, although obsessed with her course, is a sweet old lady who just wants and expects the best for/from us and I doubt any of her students wanted something like this to happen. Even though many of us wished pretty hard for an excuse not to sit the test.

I hope she recovers, and soon, otherwise I'll feel guilty for the rest of my days.

Supernatural needs to stop making me pout. Seriously. Supernatural is supposed to make me squeal like a lunatic and scare my friends, not make me want to slap both boys over the head and flail in frustration. I depend on this show to make up for the hard weeks I have at university.

I'm loving the season so far, don't get me wrong, but I get really frustrated when the boys are not being all buddy buddy with each other. Also, try as I might I can't like Castiel. His name is lame. I can't get past that for some reason. And I'm afraid he may take Sam's place in Dean's life, which is always a big no-no.

I can't wait for it to be thursday, as usual.

Can it be September 10th now please? I miss my show.

Title: Russian Roulette.
Prompt: Dark Humor.
Rating/Word count: R / 49.
A/N: This one's pretty short, I wanted to try my hand at micro fiction. The prompt was given at the Creative Writing course I took last semester.

Either this is a really bad translation or I'm not as bilingual as I thought. I had to read T.W. Adorno's The Essay as Form for tomorrow and I understood almost nothing of it. Every time I tried to make sense of this essay my brain recoiled in horror and refused to cooperate. I think it's the first time that my mind has been boggled by complicated vocabulary. Usually big words don't present a problem for me, but apparently, big words juxtaposed together and accompanied by complicated grammar render my reading comprehension abilities useless.

I HATE it when authors talk about simple stuff and make it extremely complicated just because they don't know how to write. Someone should have shot them in the head before they had a chance to grab a pencil. It's like reading Kant all over again!

The worst thing is that I, defeated, looked for a summary and the summary was just as confusing as the essay. I'm doomed.

Although tanning, shopping and swimming in the sea is not really my cup of tea, I have to admit that I had fun in this trip. We visited Labadee in Haiti, Ocho Ríos in Jamaica, Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands and Cozumel in Mexico. I made friends with a russian guy, parasailed and managed to screw my back while ice skating. All in all, my cruise experience was awesome and the ship was so big that I didn't even notice we were at sea.

On other news, my dog is finally home. I'm surprised at how thin he is and I'm worried because he has trouble sitting down, but both may be fixed with time. After all, it hasn't been that much since he had his surgery. It is also clear that he missed us dearly. When I went to hug him and pet him, he made everything he could so I stayed longer with him, he even tried to climb onto my lap and tried to bury his face inside my hoodie. I'm so glad he's finally back and I'm hoping with all my heart he'll be loping around soon just like he used to before the accident.

Duque's surgery has been pushed to Tuesday, that's why I haven't updated on his condition. He had a skin infection in the area the surgery would be done and the doctors didn't want to risk it. I went to see him on Friday and the vet allowed me to pet him so I climbed into his crate with him and cuddled him for a little bit. It broke my heart. My dog is in a really bad condition. I know the doctors at the clinic are taking care of him and doing their best, but Duque has lost so much weight since the accident and he had such a sad face that it was clear my baby was hurting badly.

I think the worst part of all this situation is that I live for the states next week and my dog will be at the vet clinic alone. I won't get to see him until the beginning of August and I'm afraid something may happen to him while I'm out of the country.

If the he had already gone through the surgery I would be feeling calmer, but he hasn't and its tearing me apart.

The vet must be bored of me already. I've called on and off to know about my dog since he was admitted. They've told me that Duque has no internal damage, but my dad managed to fracture his hip pretty badly, so they'll practice a surgery on him this friday. They'll practice a Femoral Head Ostectomy on him, which means they are going to remove the head of the affected femur so my dog has a chance to walk again. I'm a little bit worried about this because it means that my dog'll have a shorter leg after the surgery. Otherwise, I'm glad that I'll be getting him back soon. The vet said that Duque would be back home by tuesday if everything goes okay.

My dad ran over one of the dogs again, so Duque is now at the veterinarian clinic because he had blood on his mouth and I thought he might be hemorrhaging. Duque was breathing normally by the time we got him to the clinic, but he couldn't stand on his hind legs. Apparently my dad hit his hips and his spinal cord might've been compromised. We're not sure yet.

Duque's been there since this morning and I called in the evening to know how he has been doing. The vet said that he was wagging his tail and that he was standing on his own. Also, he has had no convulsions, so the possibilities of internal trauma are being ruled out. I'm still worried about him though. I'd feel better if I had more news about him.

I have to call again tomorrow and hopefully they'll let me visit him.

The semester has ended and I'm done with all my courses, which means I'm on vacations. It's been three days and I'm already bored though. There's not much to tell either, other than I have lots of things to crochet and that I'll be working as a T.A. for about two weeks.

For those who have been waiting for the amigurumi I've been working on for almost 3 months, it is almost done. I just need to finish crocheting its sweater, attach the legs and style the hair. After I'm done with that I've got to start working on a Jayne hat for a friend, crochet a dolphin for one of my teachers who commissioned me, and work on the Maranie doll Emilio wants for his desk. Also, I have to work on thousands of fingerless gloves that can be turned into mittens for several people, so better get to work.

Too bad it takes a lot of motivation for me to start doing something.
