It's a good thing I could check out the news early today. Otherwise I might have taken the road trip for sure.
The UCLA, as well as several other universities are calling back to resume the classes. I went to check out things today, and while there were no activities, at least the gates were opened again, and that's a good sign. That way I could finally see first hand the damage. On the bright side, the library didn't suffer any damages or permanent losses, it looked worse from the outside than it actually was in the inside. Can't say the same about the meeting place of the Student Center (equivalent of Student Council in other countries). The place was literally pitch black, and I could still feel the charred smell from the opposite side of the hallway. Not to mention that the burned cars are still in their places, they haven't moved them. It's a creepy sight, I'm telling you.
If the rampaging idiots calm down, we might still have a chance. There was a meeting today to decide when they'll resume the normal activities. I hope they reach an agreement, the sooner we go back to normal, the better. If it's for me, I'd rather finish the term before the Easter Week. We've all had enough of this, of idiots who just want to skip their classes yet end up dragging us into it, and of authorities who abuse their powers and end up shooting (that's right, SHOOTING) innocents when they can't find the true culprits.

Que bueno que pude ver las noticias hoy temprano. Sino, hubiera agarrado el viaje por carretera con toda certeza.
La UCLA, al igual que otras universidades, ya están llamando a volver a reanudar las clases. Fui a ver como estaban las cosas hoy, y aunque no hubo actividades, al menos abrieron las puertas, eso es buena señal. Así al fin pude ver de primera mano el daño. Viendo el lado positivo, la biblioteca no sufrió daños o pérdidas permanentes, se veía peor desde afuera que como estaba en el interior. No puedo decir lo mismo de la sala de reuniones del Centro de Estudiantes (equivalente al Consejo Estudiantil en otros países). El lugar estaba literalmente negro, y todavía me llegaba el olor a quemado desde el lado opuesto del pasillo. Sin mencionar que los carros quemados aún siguen allí donde estaban, no los han movido. Es escalofriante, ya les digo.
Si los idiotas alborotadores se calman un poco, puede que aún haya esperanza. Hoy hubo una reunión para decidir cuando se retomarán las actividades. Espero que se llegue a un acuerdo, entre más pronto volvamos a la normalidad, mejor. Si es por mí, yo preferiría terminar las clases antes de la Semana Santa. Ya hemos tenido suficiente de esto, de idiotas que no quieren clase y terminan arrastrándonos a nosotros, y de autoridades que abusan de su poder y les disparan (así es, DISPARAN) a inocentes si no encuentran a los culpables.

RIP Granny.../Adios abuelita...
English/Inglés I know I haven't been active on the site for quite a while, and I hate to come and post bad news, but I hope you will understand. This has just struck me and my family, so I give myself the right to vent. Today, at 4:15 pm, my dear grandma Nicolasa Baptista, due to complications related to the Covid-19, passed away. She was the last one of my grandparents, and the last one among her siblings. She was what we could call the family's matriarch since I can remember, one of the kindest and most loved people not just by us, but also by everyone living in this neighborhood. She was everything you could hope for in a grandma: kindhearted and caring to all of us, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but also scary when she was lecturing us. She was the strongest person I ever met, mainly due to her spirit, and even her age (89) didn't stop her from helping us with the cleaning and gardening tasks at thome. But in the past few weeks... well, obviously things got
Script format/formato script
English/Inglés How's it going? Okay, I hadn't had any chance to write any more venting articles, and this time around I finally found a topic to talk about. This'll be much briefer than others I've discussed, but I decided to touch it up since in the past days, some people have requested that I read their stories, but I reject them when I get the preliminary view and see they're written in script format, as if they were theatre plays. This isn't meant to offend anybody who writes or reads in that format, but beyond the typical critique of "professional writing shouldn't be this way", I'd like to explain why I don't like reading stories of this kind. Why I don't read script fics? Beforehand, and for whomever doesn't know or isn't familiar with the term, what does "script format" mean? Basically, it's that writing style where the speaking character's name precedes their dialogue, like in the script of a movie, theatre play, etc., and occassionally adding notes in parenthesis to clear
Rehashes, retellings, AUs
English/Inglés Hey again, peoples. So, after an extended period of inactivity, here I am again with another topic I've only touched superficially in several of my past venting articles, though more than venting, this time the reason to post this comes from the fact that I have plans to begin a story of this kind, and I want to avoid falling into the typical traps most writers do. You'll see soon enough what I mean. Without further ado, let's get started: * * * AUs, retellings or rehashes in fanfiction * * * I think any fan worth their salt at some point, with their favorite stories, wished that things had gone differently. The most common ones tend to be: a certain character who died in canon survives (or conversely, killing off one they dislike and/or got away from their punishment scot-free), to make official the pairing we like, to give the protagonist an "edge" that makes things a bit easier in the beginning, etc. Some have even gone further to write these stories to show what
And Eclipse is here.../Y aqui esta el Eclipse
English/Inglés So well, the Eclipse is finally here, despite all the complaining, protesting, whinning and all. The layout is a little confusing, I admit it, but... guess I'll have to eventually adapt to it. Anyway, this journal wasn't for anything in particular, just a test to see how hard it would be to write new entries. But if anybody wants to talk about something, I'll be around for a bit. See ya! /------------------------------/ Español/Spanish Y bien, el Eclipse ya está aquí, a pesar de todas las quejas, protestas, lloriqueos y todo eso. El layout es algo confuso, lo admito, pero... supongo que tendré que adaptarme a él eventualmente. Como sea, este journal no era para nada en particular, solo una prueba para ver qué tan difícil sería escribir nuevas entradas. Pero si alguien quiere hablar de algo, estaré por un rato. ¡Nos vemos!
