2/30 days of productivity.

Today I'm back in class, and I had to speed run in order to keep up with my class, but the teacher has been totally chill about my absence and even told me that I'm having a very good progress, so I'm happy about it. This class is also introducción a la forma, or drawing.

hey, don’t cry. one half flour one half yogurt knead into dough and fry for easy flatbread and dip in balsamic vinegar, okay?

In my country the climate is weird, we've got some cold fronts coming, so obviously with the drastic change of temperature I got a cold(in the mornings we need have a coat but during evenings you can perfectly go in tank tops), but I need to make a presentation for Thursday, so reading this is a must, when I finish I'm probably going to sleep till tomorrow evening

Things done today

- Started the wips of two of my final presentations (got all the bibliography and the started it)

- Studied for chemistry

- Started my art history presentation

Yes it is, I´m not going to wake up at 4:30 a.m to be at work at 5:45 am(my house and my work are quite far away) be there like ten/twelve hours, have to be there so early because I need to discharge trucks full of gasoline and clean the gasoline tanks, clean public bathrooms, the staff bathroom, do the money counting, attend clients, and not have anybreaks because i´m the only one at the gas station, for 400 hundred euros a month, like I work only twelve hours a week, but it´s a lot of responsability going from being a butcher, well not specifically, it was the charcutery section, but only doing half of that for six hours a day, and divided in sunday, saturday and when it was a week day with festivities i would work but if i did more hours i would either get the extra hours paid or in vacation days. Like no thanks.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

A lot of us have gotten more radicalized with this, but it's honestly terrifying how this tragedy has made so many people turn to the far-right.

Yesterday I had a huge argument with a good friend of mine because of this He's always been a leftist, but he shared a screenshot of a far-right protest and, when I told him it was organized by the far-right, he told me he would support whoever was helping Valencia and that right now it was the right and not the left. Which, alright, fair, they all suck right now, but my brother in Christ let's not forget it was the right that cut funds directed towards first responders, firefighters and EMTs to put them towards killing bulls in the name of tradition. Let's not forget it was the right that tried to shut down the AEMET because it was "useless". It was the right that wouldn't allow help from outside, too scared of having to face the consequences and the thousands - sorry, """hundreds""" of people they've killed with their incompetence and greed. It's the far right that ignored nine, NINE warnings from the AEMET, because they didn't want to lose money, but sent their own workers home early so they could evacuate.

It's the far-right that is refusing help and resources to POC and immigrants, and it's the far right that is spinning the narrative so people shout "Sánchez dimisión" instead of "Mazón asesino".

It's terrifying to see how the far-right benefits from the desperation and pain they caused directly.

THERE WOULDN'T BE MORE THAN 2 THOUSAND DEATHS IF THE FAR RIGHT REGIONAL GOVERNMENT HAD DONE ITS JOB. THERE WOULDN'T BE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MISSING PEOPLE IF THE FAR RIGHT GOVERNMENT HAD ACCEPTED THE OUTSIDE HELP AND ASKED FOR IT.

The ""leftist"" central government can't do anything if the Generalitat doesn't ask for help, because the far right made sure that the leftist central government couldn't do it during the last national crisis - the pandemic.

"Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who cut funds from public services that would've saved lives. "Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who tried to shut down the AEMET. "Don't make this about politics" but it's a far right government that is refusing help, arresting people who are shoplifting basic necessities, and telling volunteers to leave because the fucking King wants to take a stroll through the disaster zones.

"Don't make this about politics" but the far right kills. The far right is the direct responsible of thousands of deaths.

Summer is here already?!

Most of April consisted of :-

a) crying about global warming and heatwaves

b) frustration because the heat is stopping me from doing anything productive

c) being at the peak of productivity and completing all the assignments

d) being burnt out and not being able to do anything for the rest of the month

e) taking small trips and recovering from tiredness while also falling ill due to heat

honestly, it’s supposed to be spring right now! and it feels like summer near the equators.

I took a small trip to the hill yesterday, perks of living by the cost and the hills i suppose? it really helped me with me being burnt out but hey we all need break sometimes!

I hope to be more productive from now on. Plus this week consist of tests everyday! Hopefully I survive this month and the next.
