What a day today!
I started classes at school, woke up at six for the first time since December (except for a couple of days in February), met my students, oh, new paragraph.
The first group, 14 and 15 years old, inspiring group. Love at first sight. But that deserves its own post, not just its own paragraph.
Second group, a challenge. Not now, please.
I forgot to say it’s been raining since I got up. The rain revealed a leak in my son’s bedroom!
Well, I left school, went to psychoanalysis session, that’s something we do here in Buenos Aires, came back home, worked on a project, chatted with Daniel, couldn’t talk, his mic? my headphones? his connection? my connection? his computer? my computer? this country? who knows?, electricity cut off. Yes, just like like. It was raining, I told you. When it rains I don’t know what it is that gets flooded and the electricity suddenly disappears. I cooked, candlelight. Romantic? No, undeveloped.
Clap, clap, electricity is back. I turn on my PC. Yes , no mobile, no laptop. A comment to moderate . An ex student, well, a student. She blogged with my class in 2007. She’s back. On her own.
I forget about the rain. About the leak. About the electricity. About living in the third world. I even forget about the things the institutions stubbornly deny.
Welcome, Renata .
(Ah, the title, should I have said consumer? Citizen is quite a dated word, I think.)
Update (a couple of seconds after posting and re reading). Mind you, I’ll not forget forever.
