Week 5: August 12th - August 16th

This week was good. It was kind of half good half bad. I had so many homework that I didn't do. But I didn't want to have a bad week because of bad sleeping. So I did sleep but I didn't do all of the things I needed. Now, I'm in class, feeling as bad as I can feel, but well, shit happens.

Doing all the things I need to do in a week is overwhelming. I've been studying technics to organize my time, to do everything, but I've learned that I'm really slow on doing things. On Monday, or Tuesday, I don't remember, I woke up at 4 a.m. Is the first time I can do it. But the other days I couldn't do it. But crying over the spilled milk is not going to solve anyone's problem.

There is this technic that I used a lot when I was studying at UdeA bioengineering. It's the Pomodoro technic, in which you study for 25 minutes and then you stop for 5 minutes, yo take a break to stand up, going to the bathroom, drink some water. The idea is to change the activity because our brain loses attention every 25 minutes. Of course, there are many people that have an attention span larger than the usual. But the technic applies for everyone.

At my workplace, it was regularly good. As I said, I didn't do some things because I didn't want to have this bad feeling, even tho I had it in a different way. I have this kid, daughter from a Famous guy, and she is so problematic. This is the girl who says the bad words, who treats bad to the other kids, she is so bossy and annoying. The worst part is that she is not honest, she lies every single time we confront her, and after aking her a lot of times, is when she accepts what she has done.

I'm really worried about how to teach these simple values to my students. Is that something that must come from home? Is it something teachable? Am I able, capable, allowed to teach those things?

Something really, really AMAZING, was that I started to train roller derby. This epic sport is about going on a track with a team, one person (the jammer) is the one who has to pass the other team, and her team (yeah, is something for women) must avoid that the opponent jammer pass. It's a contact sport, so there is a lot of energy flowing in between the people. Pitifully, I can go to the training on Sunday because I'll be with a friend on Copacabana, chilling and sharing with my family.

This is our motto. For me, this means sorority.

Well, I think that's enough for today. Thanks a lot for reading.
