On the night of the 31st of December of 2008 I said: "This will be an interesting year" I wasn't wrong, not even a bit. So many things happened to me and to others, good and bad alike.
Were should I start?...Well lets go in order, I think that is the best way to do it.
My third year began and I went to mexico shortly after that. Even then I arrived one day late thanks to the lack of the availability of planes travelling to mexico. I took my first databases class and began working on an "intelligent music player" for another class. Eventually both classes were successful and the program worked nicely.
But that semester didn't go so smoothly, thanks to the H1N1 virus. A week before final exams the epidemic began and the campus closed completely for a week. People were a bit crazy here in mexico, everybody used masks and avoided everybody else. The city was closed, only supermarkets, pharmacy's and Hospitals were open. In my personal opinion there wasn't an epidemic of H1N1, there was an epidemic of neurosis. As a proof of that we have the example of ITESM-CEM. The put a separation of 2.5 meters between the tables at the cafeteria, all the computers were separated just as much. You had to use a mask and the teachers had to teach with that thing on. At least all that was fun and the extra week of forced vacations helped me finish all the projects.
I started and finished my first story,
Deus Ex Machina. I loved writing that story, being only 40 pages or so long I am quite pleased with the result. I also began to draw and color digitally. I found out that I am not bad at doing it. If you want to check some of my art(anthro art by the way) you can go here:

Then I went back to Bolivia just to suffer all the same things over again. But this time there was a difference, indifference from part of the government. The president Evo Morales was really calm, some people died but he didn't do anything about it. He is only a jackass, people only vote for him because all the other options are worse. But lets keep on topic. Many events with thousands of people took place, the bicentennial of the city of La Paz took place like if nothing was going on. As you can see In bolivia the opposite of Mexico took place.
Then the other semester took place, I tried a little harder to find a girlfriend. But every time I met someone I like and then I do some background checking on them I find that they are either taken or lesbian. -_- But I will find my Tomboy girl someday, I am sure of that.
I made new friends, some really good ones. I saved people in my advanced math class and got 100% in the end which is no small feat. I started working on a paper and even learned to use Latex. Now my mom and my sister are visiting me. We will have a wonderful Christmas here in Mexico.
That should be it for now. So Merry Christmas to all of you.
