Así es la Vida
One of my favourite songs in Spanish goes:
Así es la vida de caprichosa
A veces negra, a veces rosa
Así es la vida, jacarandosa
Que te quita, te pone
Te sube, te baja
Y a veces te lo da.
It’s about how life gives you things and takes things away from you. I don’t know if it’s obvious that I’ve been feeling blue lately, but yes… I am feeling blue. Everything is going well, but I still feel sad sometimes, I can’t help it, divorce is harder than anyone can imagine and I certainly don’t wish it to anyone.
So yes, life is hard sometimes, but it also gives you reasons to be happy. I got wonderful news today: The University of Quebec gave me all the credits I asked for, and as of now I’m a 3rd year student who will hopefully graduate in May 2007. My previous studies (and good grades) allowed me to jump from 1st year and now all I have left is a few courses and my research project, which I chose this session and will start working on during Summer.
I’m definitely doing what I have to do and I feel proud of myself, especially because it isn’t easy when I’m all alone. Now I realize I have dreams and ambitions, I just didn’t have someone to give me full support and who decided it was better to judge me and to blame me for his own lack of commitment and his cowardliness. He sure lost more than I did, he lost me.
