I'm on the train on my way to my first day of prac. This is my first prac of the year but definitely going to be the most challenging since my first prac I did two years ago. The last two pracs I did through uni were in mental health wards, not that they are easier but I just happened to be placed in the least troublesome wards. I was lucky. Now, back to an actual hospital with physically ill patients...bleh.
Getting to sleep was really hard last night. All I wanted was to be close to someone, Tim or even my mum but no one was around. It just reminded me of how much my relationship with my mum has changed. I miss the way we used to be. I'm so needy =.= It makes me wish I was stronger like most of my friends. I feel like I'm the only one who needs a security blanket (in the form of people). Beh.
I don't feel any better. Thinking psyches me out even more. I hate these feelings. Every prac is always so scary and nothing anyone says ever helps.
So uhmm...
I guess I haven't bothered blogging because I've either been busy or too jdndixnskeix to blog and not produce something more emo than this stupid post lol. I've been trying to keep busy just because this prac was looming and they tend to be draining. Getting up early, stressing out, going to bed early. I think getting to sleep early is the hardest. It ties in too much to this stupid idea that has always been stuck in my head: it's lame to go to bed early. It's some weird stigma lol. Being tired and stressed, with only a small window of opportunity to hang out with Tim makes me sad and feel lonely.
Beh.
Another reason I haven't blogged is because I hate seeing posts without pictures and I have a few for each little thing I've done over the last two weeks or so. I don't want the writing and pics to be separate.
Blerg....I want Tim to hug meeeee.
I'm going to listen to some more Jay and Silent Bob get old and try to forget.
So one day I was hanging out with Kurt and we realised that there are some pretty wacky sayings in the spanish language.
Each Spanish speaking country has their own sayings, metaphors and similies but these are a few that I have collected over the last year or so.
Every time I hear my mum or grandma say a new one I text Kurt XD It has become somewhat of a little tradition for me now =]
Saying: La negrita astuta vende fruta.
Direct Translation: The (Astute, cunning, sly, crafty, fraudulent) cute/little black girl sells fruit.
Meaning: This saying is said as a sort of warning that you are/someone else is a cocktease
Saying: No calientes el agua (si no vas a tomar té)
Direct Translation: Don't heat the water if you're not going to drink tea
Meaning: This is also a sort of warning to someone who is being a cocktease. Kind of like, don't flirt and lead someone on if you have no intention of hooking up with them. It is also a play on words because in Spanish (Chilean at least) the word calentar (to heat) is also used informally as a way to say 'make horny'. So 'estoy caliente' = I'm hot BUT it means I'm horny. If you wanted to say I'm hot (because of the weather) you would say 'tengo calor'
Tongue Twister: Tres tristes tigres trigo trillaron tranquilos tragaron
Translation: Three sad tigers, wheat they threshed (To separate the grain from the straw or husks by mechanical beating), calmly they swallowed.
Tongue Twister:Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira pobre pintor portugués pinta paisajes por poca plata para pasar por París
Translation: Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira poor Portugese painter paints landscapes for little money to pass through Paris.
Saying:Buscarle la quinta pata al gato
Direct Translation:To look for the 5th leg of the cat
Meaning: Looking for problems when there clearly aren't any in that situation, so you're over thinking it and overcomplicating yourself.
Saying: Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas
Direct Translation: To be beautiful you have to see stars
Meaning: I'm guessing this is a fairly old saying because my grandad said it to me once, I kind of fell in love with this little rhyme/mantra. It means that no pain is too great to endure in order to look your best, this particularly refers to women having to wear painful shoes (stilettos) because it makes their legs look hot, wearing tight clothing to show off curves, waxing, plucking, dying hair, and I suppose nowadays you could extend that into getting cosmetic surgery. Just to clarify, my grandad wasn't a dick, I remember the saying coming up because we were watching a show with really attractive women and I was in awe of them and he explained that constructed superficial beauty comes at a price =) Oh and if you don't get the imagery, it's based on seeing "stars" when you hit your head/get dizzy, like if you've ever seen the cartoon representation of stars around the head when they get hit.
*To be continued
