“A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief,” Bush told supporters at an airport rally (referring to Kerry’s opinion about the missing explosives in Iraq). [Yahoo! News]

And that’s exactly why he has to get OUT of the White House. Idiot.

A few months ago Old Navy opened stores here in my area, but I wasn’t curious enough to go and check. Ok, I did go one day, but I was in such a rush that I didn’t like anything I saw. Since I’m starting to shop for gifts for my family, I went to take another look today and I was really surprised and satisfied; I managed to get 4 gifts for less than $25! When the girl at the cash told me the total amount I was like “What???” and then she told me the items were 50% off, even after the sale price, isn’t that cool? Oh sure, I got a little something for me, heh! I guess I’ll go back to Old Navy really soon.

Errr… Never mind the hiatus thing. I have bad news, good news, exciting news, lots of news. I’ve been hiding from everyone, but what’s the point in that if one day I will have to come out of the shell and face the world. Ready for the rollercoaster? Ok, I’m warning you, this isn’t going to be pretty… Oh boy!

I’m chatting with my 6-year-old nephew. Someone, please, tell me when did he grow up so much? I can’t believe it! Sure, he’s taking a while to type, but I can see him there, in front of the computer, looking at the screen and smiling at me through the webcam. Oh boy…

He writes: “si klaro y creo que quiero ir a canada en un avion”, meaning he wants to come to Canada on a plane. Awwww… *Sniff*

Mid-terms madness has started. I had my first exam this morning. I’m not going to fail, but I won’t get an A+ either, that’s for sure. I’m extremely nervous, like I’ve never been before. It could be the novelty of things written in French or the stress of going back to school after 5 years, or simply I’m too afraid to fail, so I put a lot of pressure on myself and get frustrated at the end when I feel I haven’t given all that I can. I guess I have to be patient…

I’ve had enough about solar radiation and seasons for today. I think I’m going to have an herbal tea to help me calm before a nervous breakdown. I wanted to go back to school? Some things aren’t perfect, heh!

There’s nothing better than a productive weekend to help you cope with the frustration of feminine situations (c’est-a-dire le darn PMS). While Patrice stays at home being the housewife, ooops… the house-husband, doing laundry, cooking and taking care of domestic life in general, I decide to emigrate to my mother in law’s house where the peace and quiet are the perfect environment for studying. The MIL is in Paris (chanceuse !), so I’m doing good use of her office logistics to make a few documents summarizing everything I’ve learned (I can show you, if you want, they’re in French and in Word).

I’m now taking a well deserved break composed by this weblog post, some e-mail replies, a quick shower and a not very nutritious lunch (since there’s nothing in her kitchen, but coffee, milk and bread - Ah! Cheese, too). I hope your weekend went well. Mine was satisfactory.

PMS-ing women should be locked in a room, away from others, until the storm has passed. Yes, sir! I don’t like people today. Tell me just a little something you can annoy me with and you’ll experience the wrath of Bea. #@!*%! See you much later.

Notice: I’m not justifying my actions, I’m just warning you. Buahaha!

Update (16/10/04): Starting to feel better, but buried in homework and mid-terms.
Oh, the joy! Wanna come and help?

I feel like the more I’m closer to be 30, the less patience I have with people. Am I getting old or am I simply growing up? I always try to be a nice person and I let other people abuse me in the process, but not anymore… I’m telling it like it is and I feel good! Like yesterday with Mr. Jerko in the bus. A few days ago with my mother in law when she tried to criticize me because I gave one of my Subway cards (for a free sandwich) to a friend; it’s my freaking money, I said, not hers! Then today at the library when the lady at the desk was talking like a damn parrot and I told her to shut the fuck up, that there were several people trying to study.
