sore throat. :(



Hello again!

A few things to say...

Primarily, I'm sick! Noooooooo!
What happened was, ALL THREE of my apartments were deathly sick with some sort of severe cough, and I was perfectly fine until a few days ago, when it started getting really cold outside... At that point, they closed our apartment windows and turned on the heater, so there was no ventilation!

No fresh air + many nights sleeping and breathing the same air as them = I will get sick.

:(

It's really unfortunate, because they've been sick in turns for the past seven weeks or so and I've been perfectly fine. Until they closed the windows. :(
Now I have a sore throat and a cough. Booooo.

Anyway, moving on... You know what else I realized? When classes ended, I created this beautiful piece of pure art that I for some reason NEVER showed you guys!



This is a creation of mine called the "cakeinamug", which is essentially exactly what it's called... A cake in a mug! With frosting on top, of course. :)
I ate it after the last day of classes was over, as sort of... celebration. Haha. Cameron helped me, because it was a lot of cake. It was so delicious, I felt so fat afterwards, but so gratified! :D

So yes. Next semester I shall create many of these beauties and indulge myself after large exams and the like. I hope I don't get too fat! Haha.

Well, today I did my presentation for my Latin American class, as well as handed in the corresponding essay, which were both about the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and the group's interactions with the Colombian government. I talked about how the FARC is the cause of a LOT of unrest within the country, as well as a large part of the reason why the Colombian government is/was on bad terms with its Venezuelan, Ecuadorian, and Nicaraguan counterparts. Therefore, I talked about the fact that the FARC funds itself through drug exports and the taking of hostages, and the issues resulting from these actions.

... Well, that's all for now. At the moment I'm going to Cameron's apartment to watch The Apprentice with him, Ivanna, and a few other friends so...

Until next time!
