Is that a new post? O.o

Hello people (Who am I talking to, I bet this is all alone). It has been a ver long time since the last time I wrote here. I think it was something about taking care of a friend who had an accident. Well, he has recovered now, and he doesn’t have to visit the doctor until February again. He’s still having some little problems while walking, but it’s nothing major.

About University, I’m about to finish semester again. This one I took 7 courses but cancelled 2 (Sujeto and Intro to French Literature), so I was let with 5 instead. I have already finished 2 which I approved, and now I’m prepparing myself for the final exams on the remaining 3. It’s not going to be so easy since certain bad teacher (*coughclaracough*) didn’t plan out the class correctly, and now we have to make 80% in 2 weeks. However, I think I can do it.

About Job everything is going alright after that little crisis which almost stopped me from being a teacher. I gave up on children and I’m only teaching to adults now. It’s way better, and I have less stress since it’s less people to care about. Less stress = less money but I can take that as long as I don’t feel so pressed to do things.

Since las time I posted I have gotten a girlfriend. Yes, you read right, a girlfriend. She’s called Nadia and she’s 22. She studies with me at the University and I love her so much. We have been together almost 4 months now, and I’m happy about it.

About forums, HMC died finally and I decided to erase it completely so I wouln’t bring it back as I always do. People didn’t want it to happen, but I just did it and took a big weight out of me. I saved the two pages discussion about the closure, as a memory for me.

About Music, I bought a new MP4 player: 2GB, FM Radio, Text, pictures, records and reproduces voice. I really like it, and I hope it doesn’t get stolen this time, as my Nintendo DS was. I haven been listening to Radio Activa once again, and I have gotten really nice music from there. I downloaded it, since now It’s legal in my country to download music as long as you use it for yourslef and you don’t sell it to make profit.

And Games… Flyff has been filling my free time a lot lately. I finally got my Acro to Ranger, and it’s currently lvl 62. I love AOEing with it, it’s really nice. I’m planning on spending 25 bucks on buying him a CS suit so he doesn’t look like Robin Hood. Also, my FS Assist is now lvl 52 and I already got the money for his first lvl 60 RM set. I don’t plan to take him any further than that; it’s only for the looks.

Well, I guess that’s all for today. I also guess you’ll have to wait another 4 or 5 months for an update, just don’t staw away too long.

P.S.: If you’re reading this I hope you’re not just a bot

University Life once again?

Well, I finally finished my 4th semester 2 weeks ago, and I did well. I had an inconvenient with 2 subjects I had to cancel because the teacher resigned, and that pulled me back; I’ll be on 5th semester now. I had to be in 6th now, but because of this and other inconvenients I have had, I’m just in 5th, but it’s ok.

This semester I’ll have to take 7 subjects, but one of them consist of only 6 classes, which is  “Formación Cuidadana” (Something to do with law). I will also take the 2 subjects I had to cancel last semester (Oral-Written French and Introduction to French Literature). Also, I will take Principles of Language Acquisition L2/L3 (In English and French), Contrastive Grammar L2, “SMN El Educando” and “Sujeto y Educación”.

I’m really excited about these subjects, but I won’t start the new semester until April the 2nd.

Being a nurse

Did I ever thing of being a nurse? Actually no, but I have been one for 25 days now. Pablo, one of my old friends from high-school had an accident in his motorcycle in February the 10th, and thought I didn’t think it would be that way, I was really impacted by that.

I have been with him every single day since the day I knew about the accident,  one week at the hospital and the rest of the days at his house, taking care of him 23 hours a day. It has been a difficult task, and very strength demanding, but it feels really rewarding when I see him progressing and getting better.

Now he has started his therapies and he’s doing well, which feels really good, but it means it’s time for me to let go of him, since he needs to recover his normal life.

Silkroad Online

Silkroad Online (Also knows as SRO) is a free MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that is set in China; much of the background of the game is based on the historical Silk Road. The game is based around a triangular conflict between traders, thieves and hunters. Traders, as it name says, trade goods form one city to another. Thieves attack Traders, and steal their goods. Hunters fight Thieves and protect Traders. It’s very well known by its entertaining game system and the excellent graphics it has.

I started to play this game 3 days ago, and I’m already in love with it. I had played other MMORPGs before, such as Ragnarok Online, but they didn’t fill my expectations. This game is an amazing 3D world where you can do as much as you want to. Quests is one thing I have just discovered and I love, just like Guilds and Academies. However, there are still many things in the game I don’t understand because I’m way too new and I0m at a really low level, but I’ll learn with time.

Overall this game is really nice, though most people get bored because leveling up takes a lot of time, and the real fun begins from lvl 20 and up (I’m 13 as of now). From lvl 20 on you have as much things to do as you want, but some people don’t even reach lvl 10. Something I do is SP farming, which I won’t explain; it makes the process of leveling up slower, but it makes me stronger in the end.

With no more delays, my username in the game is Dyegov; feel free to contact me if you need any help or just want to make friends on the game. The web page where you can register and download the free client from is SilkRoad Online.

P.S: Sorry if it doesn’t make sense. It’s midnight and I’m off to bed.

MELICET - Michigan English Language Institute College English Test

The day has come, the day has passed. Yesterday I did the exam, and to be honest, I thought it would be more of a challenge. We arrived at time to the place where we would take the exam, and they gave it to us. The place had cameras and all of that, so we didn’t cheat. I thought it was a little exaggerated, but hey! That’s how they work.

The first part of the test was Listening. We had around 4 listening exercise, with conversations about random things about people. I have to admit I screwed up in one of them, but the other ones were fairly easy. Then the grammar part came to play. We had 90 minutes to finish it; I did in 40. C’mon, although there were some words I didn’t know, it was kind of disappointing. It all finished fast and then the interview came. I was really nervous for that one. However, they just asked me stupid things exactly like they do in a job interview.

Having finished all really fast–like 1:40 hours for a 2:30 hours exam–I came home, thinking about that test. Right now I say it was really easy, but it’s better to wait for the results, since I could have screwed it all up, we never know. The results will be available in 8 days; I’ll let you know them.

End of administration days

I have closed and deleted most of my sites as of now. Why you ask? Well, I grew tired of owning sites, and feeling pressed to have them updated and to please everybody. I’m more of a community person, a moderator; that’s a job I enjoy!

Well, I don’t have a whole lot to say about it. For all Evanatics visitors, you’re seeing this blog because I redirected the domain to it, since I’m going to keep it. Evanatics is also gone for good; thanks to all of you for visiting

Gutsy Life

I don’t know where to start. It has been a really long time since the last time I posted. Well, firstly, I finally started to work. I’m working as a Administrative Assistant at the central library of my University. I’ve been there for around 2 months, and I’m loving it. I have to organize books, help people; you know, library’s work. My partners and boss are really nice, and that helps to lessen the workload. Talking about University, I started my 4th semester 2 weeks ago. This far it has been nice, though I already have a lot of homework to do. Worst thing ever is that I have to take 2 classes with Maluja, worst teacher ever in the whole world. She’s so childish, and she grades you because of your face; if she likes you, then you win, if not, sorry for you. She doesn’t listen to anyone either!!! But let’s let her behind. I was informed last week that I have to present Melicet exam in November I’m really scared, though it’s only a diagnostic exam . . .

Well, now about my friends. I have started to hang out more with them since I started to wor, obviously because now I have more money to spend. We’ve been partying a lot and we have programmed a lot of activities for almost every weekend until December, which is awesome! Today we’re going to eat some pizza together

And finally, Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon is out!!! I downloaded it patiently, and wasted  2 cds trying to burn it. It was a waste because I didn’t long 1 day with Linux, as always. This time it has been improved a lot: It installed out of the box, easily fixed my everlasting resolution problem, and installed restricted things such as mp3 support. However, it lacked again to keep my refresh rate preference; it was hurting my eyes! Other thing I hated were the fonts: all fonts look ugly in Ubuntu, and I don’t want to stand that So I uninstalled it, went back to XP, and now I took the opportunity to only install Open Source/Free software, and I’m happy with it so far

English Frustration

It gets really frustrating when one thinks one manages a knowledge, and then one comes to realize it’s not true. Sometimes we are sure we had mastered something easily, and we continue to believe it for some time, but then we realize we had been wrong and it frustrates us. Is that one’s fault?

Whether it is or not, it’s always good to realize one’s mistakes; it happened to me last week. I have been studying English for more than 3 years now, and being at the University, I thought I had managed the language really well for a Spanish speaking person. For all this time I have practiced grammar and oral communication, and to my teachers’ eyes I’m really good at that. However, I had never tried to write a well structured essay or any official paper like that.

As a result,  I was not prepared at all to do an essay. In spite of that, I was supposed to do a well structured essay last week. I believed I could do it, since I had no problems with vocabulary or grammar, but I was wrong. We had a 30 minutes space to do the 350 words essay; I wrote 430 and was happy because of that. Eventually the teacher came to read my essay, and everything was blow away: I had 2 problems. First of all, I lost the point of the essay, and started to write about something else -related, but different-. Then the structure problem came in; topic sentence, controlling idea, supporting ideas, all of that was missing, and thus my essay was not well structured.

At the beginning I felt completely frustrated and depressed, but then the teacher offered to explain it to me, and to give me practices so I could get better  writing. Right now I’m working on another essay, and I have to say I feel happy. As I mentioned before, it’s really nice to realize one’s mistakes, and to learn how to correct them. I know it’s not going to be easy, but you can’t accomplish something if you don’t start to work on it.

Army’s seriousness

Well, I had actually forgotten about this blog. Today I came back to look at what it used to be, and I read the last entry. How could that be? The last time I posted was about getting free from army, and that was 2 months ago. Can you believe I haven’t got my military card yet? Not even the bill I have to pay to get it ¬¬

This past Friday I decided it was time to take matters on my own hands, since they hadn’t call me at all, so I called them. It took me 4 hours of dialing to get the call through, and they finally answered. What stunted me the most was their answer: “We had problems, and we’re just starting to call people how handed the papers two months ago”. Problems? What kind of problems could have delayed them 2 months when I should have received the call 15 days after I handed the papers?

Well, they didn’t tell me, but they asked me to wait 15 days more. If they haven’t called me, he asked me to go to their offices . . . again. I can’t believe this irresponsibility from them, when they make us buy that card -which is not cheap at all- or we can’t do anything in the country (not even get out of it). Well, I supposed I’ll have to wait and see; at least now I’m safe from going to war

The Beauties of Freedom

This time I won’t use a song to quote from it. I just want to say how happy I feel for being free again, of that burden that followed me everywhere. After all the fear I felt, and all the nights I couldn’t sleep, I was not taken to army.

The day finally arrived, and I had to go to the army to present myself. I had all the papers ready; they could help me to avoid that horrible future. I arrived 30 minutes early (at 5:30 am) and made the line to enter. There were a lot of men of my age, and all of them looked terrified - no one said anything. After 40 min they finally let us in, and made us wait more. After some minutes, the person in charge finally appeared, and he started saying how we should arrange our papers. In the process, many of us realized we didn’t have all the papers. I was scared, but the soldier said we could go to get them and come back at 10am.

Without thinking a second I got out of there, and went to the places I needed to go to get the missing papers, and after spending some money and riding around 6 taxis, I went back just in time. The location was empty, at least in comparison with the quantity of persons there were early in the morning. I made the line, and after waiting more, they finally received my papers. The guy classified them, and gave me one back I didn’t need (And I run a lot to get it ¬¬ ) and made me wait more.

The waiting was getting awfully nervous, but finally he came out, and told me they wouldn’t take me, that I could go home. He also said they were going to call me in 2 weeks to let me know how much I must pay for the Military Card. I was so happy that I went out of there running and screming, no matter how much people looked at me.

Now, after this experience, I feel relieved, and happy again. I’m optimistic enough again, and nothing puts me down. Thanks to all the people that supported me in this hard moment; I really appreciate it.
