Yerba Buena
aqui tienen la yerva buena. una plantita que cura muchas cosas
y que sabe muy bien en te. (disculpen que no escriba acentos,
aun me estoy enseñando). bueno, esta es mi primer entrada para mi diario
(que no va a ser a diario, mas bien, mi "vez-en-cuando." i'm kind of stress right now cuz i
have a research paper due monday for my central american people class. is interesting, but
it has a lot of reading.

i wish i had some mint tea. i heard is good for your memory.
memory, maybe we should make mint tea as a mandatory part of our diet.
in that way, we won't forget about the past and our connection to the rest of the world.
if the pinche gov. drank mint tea every session of congress, maybe they would remember
all the desmadre they have caused all over the globe.
they would remember Nicaragua for example, and the people that died as a result
of the contra war
they would also remember that the u.s. supported ben laden during
the russian-afganistan war.
pero bueno, que se puede hacer.
i'm right here at the library without my journal, so i can't work on my thoughts.
and since i need to write down what i think to feel more sane/calm
i'm writing it right here.
mañana es viernes. tengo que estar preparado for the mexa meeting at willard jr. high
esos ni #241;os me hacen mucho bien. they help me heal.
well, hay los wacho.
p.s. alejandra, sorry for not being good company right now, i'm just stress.
you need to relax too. see you later my love.
