Still Adapting....

Hmmm the thing is easy....
One friend told me that she didn't understood shit in this blog, because her spanish is pretty basic and another reason is might be because in my country, we have a damn "lingo". Probably that's why other countries have a hard time trying to understand Chileans (and I'm not talking about the son of political refugee that you assume as a regular Chilean). So that's why this post is in english... (also because I cant write in french ! LOL)

I've been always pretty organized and structured in my life and shit. Keeping my characteristics, before my return home after a year of graduate studies, I couldn't stop thinking about WHY THE FUCK I WAS COMING BACK. In South America the scientific and technology development and their related research (my interest areas) is almost null, meaning that I will have to sell cell phones or insurances to live here anyways.... The situation sucks ass

Even the beautiful summer, with all the parties and the girls with short clothes couldn't cheer me up. I haven't really tried with all my effort to get a job, because I know that if I do so, I'll be chained to a fucking middle range, fat-dumb-bitch-ruled country, with a huge pack of underachievers that are 150% self compliant... (easy when you compare yourself with the quasi-Neanderthals of the neighborhood)

The final report for my MSc. in MEMS program was fun. I kept working on it for 2 months after I left Paris to come back home, and besides the fact that I had a lot of troubles studying an unknown topic for me, it was challenging. Yesterday I sent my last and probably final calculations for the design and I realize that it was the moment when I have to forget all the hi-tech stuff.... bullshit asides, it was pretty sad.

But life has his funny ways to present your ass the obvious things. I love my family, my country and all the details that you will find only in it. From feeling like god damn Charlie Brown because my soccer team will never win shit, but I still support them hoping for a championship, to the all day long family barbecues... After sending my last version of the report, I received a phone call, it was my aunt telling me that my mom's side grandfather is sick... and it's not a flu-bullshit kinda sickness...

It's all about balance & options, I rather stay here with low chances of getting a cool job or good money and be with my loved ones, than to be gone with all the good expectations that could bring. Some would say that it is a stupid decision, I believe that is just not the easy way to do things... who knows...
I'll find my path :P
