‘Cause you reached in your pocket and pulled out a pass that says you can take me anywhere.
Yesterday was a miserably long day. Tuesdays are going to be long all
the time. I had my Spanish Lit class in the morning and my Mexican
History class right after that. I found out that Mr. Klein dropped the
class, leaving me to do my paper alone! Luckily, I have a topic in mind
and I have to turn in a proposal tomorrow. I’m writing about the 2000
election which is something that I’m supremely interested in. Mexico is
usually one of the more stable countries in L.A., and before 2000, it
was an almost-democracy but not quite. A true democracy must have
parties that rotate in and out of the government, otherwise the
government is one sided and not representative. The PRI (political
party) had been in charge of the government for forever (really).
Vicente Fox of the PAN (political party) won the 2000 election which
marked Mexico’s movement to a more true democracy. It’s completely
fascinating, eh, maybe just to me…Fiction writing was useless. A lot of people had to read their stories.
I hated the story I wrote and luckily, I was reprieved of reading duty.
It’s amazing with how different the stories people came up with were.
We had a story that was a rip off of Kill Bill (read: monologue at the
beginning from a girl wielding a kitana and getting revenge by cutting
up people)… eh, the movie was better. I have a lot of work for that
class; I was kind of hoping for just having to turn in one story a week.Casey and I went for dinner to TGIFridays. It was pretty good. We were
going to get cat stuff last night but both of us were too tired so we
just went home.I have my first official meeting today. I’m thinking that there isn’t
going to be that many people that show up because we haven’t really
advertised well at all. We have our involvement fair tomorrow and
that’s usually when we get a lot of people (eager freshmen and what
not).
