2012!
It is the year 2012. It is cold outside but not yet snowy. Sniffles abound and it’s hard to concentrate. I am alone- but not for long: tomorrow or the day after that, a roommate will appear. Soon, my second-to-last semester at college will begin.
Let’s see how I do.

Decemberly Updates
I finished my last final exam yesterday. School is, for the most part, over for the year. I was disturbingly sick throughout the whole semester, and came pretty close to dragging myself to a hospital, but everything’s better now. My stomach doesn’t hurt and I’m taking it easy. I’m enjoying a week or two of solitude before my new roommate arrives. I moved my PC to the living...

Nada como estar muy enferma para apreciar la vida
Hoy me desperte llorando por segundo dia consecutivo, convencida de que me estoy muriendo
Edit: pero no me estoy muriendo. EN TU CARA, MUERTE! Muerte: ;_;
Whoops
I get back home and eagerly run for the mailbox: I ordered a package from China and I can’t wait to receive it. And—what’s that? It’s a package! It finally arrived! Right on time too!
Wait a second— I recognize this package. I SENT THIS PACKAGE. WHY IS THIS PACKAGE HERE AND NOT IN ARGENTINA? WHAT ARE YOU DOING PACKAGE GO BACK H- oh. Insufficient postage huh.
FUCK...

I just sent this text message to the subject
Yo yo this is my rap. I will bust your ass if you don’t say it’s whack. I work for a nazi day in day out. Bitch my minimum wage is eight bucks an hour. I like nuggets and I like baths. If that’s not gangsta then fuck your cat. Thanks for the florals and have a nice day. If they ask who you’re dating tell them I’m dr. dre. Peace outttt.
ALSO:
I will restart school soon. And I am sick but I must somehow recover by tomorrow. And I’m dangerously fond of the subject.
Awkward Moment #574
Hearing one of the new neighbors from the flood above me having sex (she seemed to be really enjoying it but it was over pretty quick!).

– Ender’s Game (1977). Finished this book yesterday. It was magnificent, and the quote does it no justice. I hope everyone will read this book at least once, because I am in love.

WORST SATURDAY EVER
1 million people in the streets = panic attack from which I am still trying to recover. I don’t really know what’s up but my ability to handle and deal with people in general is going down the shitter at an alarming rate. I had to spend about an hour trembling like a sick puppy and weeping my eyes off while the subject hugged me and I’m still feeling a bit fucked. I need a...
SHE LIVES!
Am in Boston. Kicking names and taking asses.

Tomorrow: Final Destination (Doctor Edition)
In other news, I’m still alive and seem to have managed to snag a summer job! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy (in fact, it will likely be hell), but at least it’s $10/hour for 40 hours/week. Paying rent, fuck yeah.
I Have This Growing Fear That I Need to Share
I’m pretty scared of suddenly dying soon. I started feeling a sharp pain in my left leg today and I remembered the doctor in Boston warning me/scaring me about blood clots before she prescribed me the pill. I have managed to be extremely sedentary, not drink water and be around a smoker since my return. I hate getting these (hopefully, again) paranoid batches of senseless fear. I’m...
El Sujeto
Ya no me cae tan bien como antes.
The Other Woman
Starring Natalie Portman. Bad movie but really enjoyed it, tearfully so.
And speaking of Natalie Portman,
That bitch is hot, like whoa.
Haha Oh Wow
I’ve already cried over this. And I will only have cried about this once. I’m pretty prepared for rejection already. Still, I find this hilarious.

Conversational Introductory Notes
Jon: I have a Chinese name, it's (ChineseSoundingName). It means 'He Who Rules Over Kings.'
Me: Cool. My name is Marina. It means 'there wherein boats are parked.'
Jon: Oh... cool... in what language?
Me: English.
I would go get drunk to forget about this, but my...
I ran for President of the Honors Council. My platform was based on:
Establishing a dialogue with the academic departments to increase the offer of Honors Classes.
Modifying the honors contract to better suit the needs and responsibilities of honors students.
Creating an optional Honors Peer Mentorship Program to get incoming honors freshmen connected to honors upperclassmen to help ease the...
The Icing on the Cake
Based on the information provided, the Entry HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED for further processing for the 2012 Electronic Diversity Visa program.
Aahh, I’ve been crying a lot this year. So far, none of them have been tears of happiness. That’s fine though. Whatever is thrown at me is thrown at me because I can take it. I hope.

Text Messaging doesn't help solve anything. Ever.
Lina: Ben has your debit card
Marina: Sorry to bother but could I please have Ben's numero?
Lina: (number)
Marina: Gracias :)
Marina: Hey, it's marina! Whenever you have the time tomorrow i would love to get my card back. It misses me and gets lonely at night.
Ben: I think you texted the wrong person lol
Marina: If you're not ben and you didn't confiscate my debit card for failing to finish a beer, then yes. I suppose it is the wrong person. Sorry and have a nice life!
Ben: Lmaoo its ben I didn't confiscate your debit card though. I didn't have the number saved my bad loll
Marina: But lina texted me to tell me you have it!
Ben: When was this? Maybe there's another Ben? Lmao I don't have anyone elses debit card.
Marina: Uh. Sorry for all the trouble, maybe lina gave me the wrong ben. Are you asian ben with a crazy long last name?
Ben: Lmaoooo she definitely gave you the wrong Ben. Its all good. I would give it to you if I had it! Haha
Marina: God bless you, wrong ben. God bless you.
Marina: Okay sorry to bother you yet again but i think you gave me some other ben's number. I am looking for asian dancing ben's number. God speed.

I need to get monies and buy food soon. My stomach is killing me. Argh.
I should be asleep now! But I'm not!
…because I’ve been having a shit-ton of nightmares lately, so why quicken the scary scenes? I’ve had my teeth fall off in at least three dreams. I have been chased by zombies at least twice. And yesterday I woke up, sweaty and terrified, after dreaming that I was trapped in a torture facility. What really did it in for me- and forced me to wake up- was when she grabbed the very...

Early Morning Breakfast
Wake up to text message a little before 8am. It is Alex, apologizing for waking me up and asking if he can stop by before I go to work. Give him the go ahead, confused and surprised. He shows up at my door with two croissants and an apology: “I wanted to bring you a flower too, but all the shops were closed since it’s too early!”
I lost a precious hour of sleep (and I’m...
