Y COMIENZA LA SEMANA- I started this week at HCC, again. It went pretty routine register online, stress out about parking, you know the norm. Turned out not so norm. I ended up looking for my first class for about 5 minutes running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Finally I realized that this room number didn't exist. Went downstairs and asked for some guidance, the lady said the room number was 316. I go back upstairs and there is a note on the door that the class for that day had been canceled. I sign the note on the door and then notice the class number is different, again i go downstairs and the lady swears up and down that it is indeed that room number. So i decided to just come home and go back for my next class. I get there and that room number is wrong on my schedule as well. Finally got into my correct class and then I could not log into the computer with my birthday or my HCC password. I was just so damn disappointed that my first day of classes went so horribly wrong.
AYER- It totally smelled like burnt hair and beans at work yesterday. Apparently someone left the coffee pot on with not a lot of coffee in it. It was pretty dang gross! My boyfriend told me about all his previous crushes. So cute!
NUEVODIA- Went back to HCC today for classes it went surprisingly smooth. I enjoyed it very much. I have like 3 essays to write. =D
Tlatelolco located in Mexico was the scene of a very disturbing event which took place on October 02, 1968. Only 10 days before the Summer 1968 Olympics. Students gathered in a peaceful protest where they where shot to death. The amount of deaths is said to be around 300+.
I am in the process of finding out more about this massacre. I just received one of many books about the subject, La noche de Tlatelolco published in 1971. Obviously it is written in Spanish. The title translates to The night of Tlatelolco. Also rumors about a movie due out this year staring Ryan Phillipe have got me so very excited! Hope it does justice to this tragic event.
Check out this vid/song by Banda Bostik of course about Tlatelolco.
Lyrics
Spanish: Hace ya tiempo que la historia pasó, la gente no lo puede olvidar en Tlatelolco la sangre corrió de letrados que sabían la verdad. Esa injusticia al pais sacudió pero nadie lo pudo evitar las fuerzas armadas el gobiernó mando con orden directa de tirar a matar.
Eran letrados y pedian justicia todos peleaban por un ideal pero el gobierno siempre a sido injusto por protestar los mando a asesinar.
Tres luces rojas cruzaron el cielo pero llevaban la muerte por detras con guantes blancos cubrieron sus manos para distinguirse al empezar a matar.
Masacre fué lo que pasó en Tlatelolco hombres y mujeres el gobierno mato, mató ilusiones y esperanzas del hombre en vano fué y su ideal se perdió.
Eran letrados y pedían justicia todos peleaban por un ideal pero el gobierno siempre ha sido injusto por protestar los mandó a asesinar.
I will attempt to translate.
English: Its been a while that story happened but the people can not forget in Tlatelolco the blood ran of students who knew the truth. This injustice shook the country but no one could avoid it the armed forces the goverment sent with orders to shoot to kill.
They were students and they asked for justice they all fought for an ideal but the goverment has always been injust and for protesting it sent for them to be killed
Three red lights cross the sky but they have death behind with white gloves they covered their hands to disguise themselves and begin to kill.
Massacre was what happend in Tlatelolco men and women the goverment killed it killed illusions and hope of man and the ideal lost.
They were students and they asked for justice they all fought for an ideal but the goverment has always been injust and for protesting it sent for them to be killed
