Drunk Driving
My sister was hit by a drunk driver and is going to the hospital. I'm so glad that she is ok. He hit her going 75mph in a 45mph zone. Just thinking of what could of happened makes me cry.

I'm worried about my sister. I hope she doesn't have long term problems. She is hurting a lot from the collision, but at least she is alive. I can't believe this, I just saw her. Things are rough right now between her and my mom and It's scary how close we came to losing her. Maybe now their relationship will get better knowing that at any moment one of us could be gone.

jason - 10/24/07 18:36
I'm so sorry, Libertad. That is tough to deal with, no doubt, but look at how you already have come up with a possible silver lining. That's really good. Obviously, we hope things turn out great for your sister. Hang in there, bud.

I hope everyone likes my costume for halloween. (e:paul) suggested I go as my twin and since money is tight and so is my ass (just kidding) I'll be going as a porn-star bent over a locker room bench.
james - 10/24/07 14:20
you look like that every time I see you in the locker room.

One time you had dropped your keys and were just picking them up.

Another time you were stretching your back.

But now I know, you were just posing for the camera.
joshua - 10/24/07 08:56
oh ho ho!
ladycroft - 10/24/07 04:09

paul - 10/24/07 00:07

Herman Badillo. Español
Category: español
Hace quatro meses desde que hice mis observaciones en la escuela por la calle Elmwood que se llama Herman Badillo. Me encantó esta escuela bilingüe. La única cosa que yo hice fue ayudar a los estudiantes leer el inglés. Todos eran respetuosos aun los que no tenían ganas de leer.

Una de los estudiantes míos era puertorriqueña y ella me enseño una palabra de español. Bochinchera. Significa según ella, una que le gusta platicar los negocios de los demás con otras personas.

¡No sea una bochinchera! Ni una jamona como se dice de las mujeres que quedan solas todas sus vidas. El peor de todas sería una bochinchera jamona ;) ¡No sean bochincheras jamonas nunca!

La escuela Herman Badillo sufría de una mala nota del estado el año pasado. La política de No Child Left Behind es la política de capitalistas que no piensan en el futuro de nuestros jóvenes. Gracias a Bush por este horror y por crear un sistema que es aun más peor. Un regalito a la industria de libros estudiantiles y los que hacen los exámenes.
Parecía a mi que quatro años anteriores que todo el mundo estaba opuesto a la opinión mía y que esta política ayudaría a los pobres y minoridades mejorar sus notas y cortar la distancia entre las clases. No se puede juzgar la política por los títulos superficiales de los políticos.

Vean mi diario anterior si quiere compartir sus pensamientos con nosotros.

This is cool, because I can practice my Spanish comprehension. I have to say though, I've never really read a reference to Americans like "capitalistas" before.
joshua - 10/18/07 11:54
MUERTA EL CHE!
tinypliny - 10/18/07 00:38
I am not quite sure I understand this well. But are you saying that the bilingual school that you volunteered in, shut down because of some debatable state policy? What could possibly be right about a policy which shuts down neighbourhood schools??
