Ugh. What a day. A day after the elections - I can't say I was completely satisfied with the outcome, but we'll see what the new president will do in the next four years - make or break our lil' country. There were some outcries in the town, but luckily, after the two in the afternoon, it was calm again. Really, gotta love out folks.
However the warning still stands.
President -
Panem et Circenses.(Latin for) Bread and games.
We are fed up with games.
We want bread.
The masses in my country are getting restless with the politics, and this particular election was an upset if there ever was one. First round of elections, we had thought we would have gotten a new president in one wave, but apparently there was too few people that actually decided to go out and put their voices for the good cause. Which is ironic, as most of the people go to church every Sunday almost religiously, but when it comes to the future of our country, they ignore it as if that wasn't their problem to begin with - and then, when the president is elected, the self same people moan, groan and complain about the person elected. Sad, but true. Well, the second round finally garnered enough of electors to get the president approved and although I am a little unhappy the opposition had won, I still have tentative hopes that the new president will smoothed out the social and monetary problems enough to get our country and people out of the crunch that had been caused by the financial crisis in America. As I am not a devout follower of politics, don't ask me which one or what had happened. If you are interested, look it up for yourself.
Ahem. /Clears throat/. Today was a mini-madness for me in the shape of scouring the shops for the gifts for my little family - I once again found out that I know the habits and likes of my brother and father woefully bad, so I had to improvise. The cause, you ask? Why, St. Nicolaus! In Europa, it's a pseudo - holiday for Christians, but even if you are not a Christian, it's a good chance to celebrate it. Just hope there won't be any devils along this time /mumbles/. I vividly remember that one evening when mum said that there were devils, and I in all of my innocent (ha!) glory, looked through the window, and promptly shrieked with fear at the sight of two red eyes. Lately, I found out hat it was my cousin with some of other boys, but the damage had been done . I was deathly afraid and swore to be good ever since. And of course, get some holy water to protect the house. The next year, I did use the holy water, and to my surprise, it worked...well, in a way, as that year the guys didn't rattle around our house with their chains. (The bastards.) Anyway, got the gifts, just have to wrap them up.
And then, off to the classes. Or better to two exams and classes afterwards. As I maybe told you already, I was panicking about the self same exams, as I had insufficient notes for one of them, but it turned out that this particular exam was... Whaaa?
But really. When I got the question I thought I was maybe in other universe. Surely they were joking? I had listened to the lecture on safety and so on with barely half an ear, and there you go, some dratted questions I never, ever heard the answers for. Right. Time to improvise. I just count my lucky stars that I love to read, otherwise i would have been goner on that front. And you know what is the most pathetic thing out of this? I had prepared for this exam, but everything I've learned.... I Did Not Use.
Fuck it. Education is batshit insane thing like this anyway.
Second exam was Communications and let's hold the fingers crossed I did well on this one too.
As for classes, we finished the Anatomy - yay - and now I have to learn all the material. Drat it. I just can't win here.
At home I was pleasantly - or maybe not - surprised by my dearest brother in the shape of one of his smoothies. And this time, I am undecided on whether it was good enough or bad enough to merit the repetition. Well, the recipe still found it's way on here.
HERETIC - yes, this is the name of this smoothie. Deal with it. Or rather, do it and then tell me what your taste buds say.
Ingredients :
2 bananas
1 middle-sized pineapple
milk
plain yogurt
Preparation:
Peel the bananas and cut them in the pieces. Peel the pineapple and also cut it in the pieces about the size of bananas' ones. Throw it into the blender, add milk - one latte cup and plain yogurt - also one latte cup and mix it. When it's smooth, it's done, so you just pour it in the latte cups and go torment - ahem, spoil yout taste buts with it.
We - my brother and me - used the ingredients from the fridge, so the drink was pleasantly cool. In my opinion, it's more suitable for hot summer days, when you really want something to quench the heat but not so sweet it would make your sugar blow sky high. The taste is.... well, heretic. However, the taste can be better if you use really ripe pineapple, and maybe add a little bit less of yogurt. If you really want something sweet, you can add honey or fructose, but that can quickly make the drink a tasteless mush - well, at least for my tastes, it would. As for yours, experiment and report.
Bon Appetit.
As for my writings... uh - what writings? Lately, I was preocupied with exams, so I have an excuse this time. Also, MHB will lag behind because of the school, so new chapters would be updated after 13-th.
