Well that's how I'm feeling right now. I spent the weekend a little more relaxed than usual. It was election day on Sunday, so there was practically nothing else to do for anyone but thinking who'd they vote to rule our country for the next four years.
I honestly don't like talking about politics. First of all, I'm underage, so any opinion I have is worthless since I have no right to vote. Second, politics conversations always end up in fights and people screaming at the top of their lungs why they think their candidate is the best and the other person's is a humongous retard who will ruin our country. Third, it's always underage people talking about politics. Why do they do that? Aside form the fact that they probably don't understand what they are so passionately screaming about, no one cares about what they have to say because they can't vote yet!
On Friday, I asked a girl who was trying to convince me to like Mockus and make my parents vote for him, why she was doing that?
"Well, it's my country anyway, so I have the power to change it." No you don't because you aren't 18 yet.
"Well I have changed the ideals of many people, telling them how Mockus' political campaign is so great." Yeah, I'm sure a lot of voters were convinced by a fifteen year old who doesn't even know what the campaign she's referring to is really about.
I just thought it was pathetic, especially because she was so sure she had convinced me to make my parents vote for that sick, retarded and pathetic clown.
Anyway, after seeing Santos smash Mockus on the first round, and dropping that subject until June 20, I realized I had so many things to do! This week we are going to Medellin for the National Inter-league Swimming Championship and we are missing some days at school. Because of this, we have to get ahead before we go, and later catch up when we come back. The teachers have taken the care to give us a fairly big amount of work. What's worse is that Final Exams are closing in fast. All our teachers are starting to make plans, prepare us, or simply just get on our nerves. I even have to finish the Basic Computers Project before I go on Thursday!
There's just so much to do, and so little time.
To make our huge dilemma even worse, there's the competition itself. All the nerves are building up and adding to the school stress. It's the most important championship of the season, and I've been training for it since January. Now that it is only a few days away, I feel I'm not prepared for it. All the effort and sacrifice will come down to one single moment that will last less than a minute, and will declare what the effort was really worth.
Yes, there's a lot of pressure.
