Marlon’s World

Let’s make this short, sweet and quick. I’m stressed out to the max and I feel so helpless these days because…

1. My computer is broken… for the fifth time!!! I really am pissed now because I had it fixed for various problems and have paid around 160 euros already for all the repairs. I have spent enough time agonizing over the dough (RE: precious vacation money) so I decided to put an end to my misery. I applied for a new program for university students in Spain wherein a third of the price of the computer will be shouldered by the Provincial Government of Castilla y León and the University of Valladolid. In short, I have 450 euros payable in one year, or 37.50 euros per month.
2. Corollarily, I can’t continue writing my thesis because of technical difficulties. I have a meeting with my adviser within 10 days. I have everything swirling in my head, but — alas! — ours is a world that places more weight on what’s written rather on what’s learned.   
3. I am supposed to present my paper on historical morphology and language pedagogy in an international conference in Barcelona but after all the hooplah, I am more inclined now to just submit my study and forget about attending the meet-and-greet part. Why?, you asked. Let’s just say that of all the things I hate, it is the lack of organization that really bugs me.    

So there. I wanted to write something about the UP tuition increase (as did Florian), but I have to get my wares fixed first before I bitch big time.
