Wise Madness or Foolish Sanity?

Structure of Subjectivity midterm - done. I think I did well. And the questions where I wasn't exactly sure what the professor was looking for, I wrote a ton of information and just hoped that the answer was in there somewhere. State and Religion midterm - done. This one did not go as well. I did not have enough time to study for it and it was too much information. I focused on certain parts and knew them really well, but of course the parts that I did not focus on were the ones that showed up. Life goes on. Probably. Two more parciales (exams) coming up. Am I studying? No, I am writing a blog entry.

After Wednesday when my other two midterms are done, I really need to get out more. Other than trips, I have not been out on the week-ends in a long time. I also want to do more cultural things like going to plays and fútbol games. I was just reading one of my psychology packets and it quoted Miguel Cervantes's Don Quijote: "¿Qué escogéis: la locura sabia o la cordura necia?" Translation: Which do you choose: wise madness or foolish sanity? Good question. On this entry, I added more Calafate pictures from the day we went to the lagoon. An hour ago, the power in my apartment went out and this gave me poetic inspiration. I decided to write something half in English and half in Spanish to reflect my feelings of cultural integration.

Power outage y pensamientos

Las luces se apagaron
while in my house alone.
No puedo ver mi mate,
just my illuminated phone.

But you I see more clearly
ya que existís en mi mente.
The weeks when we’re not us
son demasiadas frecuentes.

La llama de mi vela
plays with the jaunty breeze.
Me amenaza con desaparecer
with the sunlight and the trees.

The wax melts and coagulates,
mi luz acaba de dejarme.
In the darkness I can only hope
no vayas a abandonarme.
