Back to what happened at the Fiscalia. The guy was incredibly rude to us. We were there for, maybe, 30 seconds.

"Quien la mato'?"

"No sabemos" blah blah blah.

Very rude to us. When we told him we knew she didn't kill herself, he said "Eso ya sabemos" and closed the door. Real nice guy. I'm starting to get the feeling we may never know what happened to her. My students from the fiscalia tell me that, yes, it's being investigated. But, for some reason, I don't think this guy could care less. I do understand how he needs to be detatched from it, but so fucking rude! We went to see Dona Elena later that day, and she said he's basically treated her the same way. It isn't so important how he treats us, but she just lost her daughter for God's sake! Another thing Stella (the fiscalia student) said was if they feel they can't solve it, they just move on to something that is "easier." Can you believe that? Amazing. Just thinking about it now makes me angry. When Alex and I went that day, we practically couldn't speak to each other. Speechless. I don't know if I've been like that in a long time.

Probably not since my Mom told me about her and Jack, now that I think about it.

But, today, has been good, too. Alex had her interview at the embassy today. She got her visa! We leave on Nov. 21 and return on Jan. 10. Awesome. I'm definitely ready for a vacation.

Looks like I have to record this weekend. Possibly 6 hours. Combined with the four we did last Sunday, I should get 90,000 pesos (before tax). I figure I should probably clear at least 70. All that $$ goes straight to bills. But, at least I'm slowly moving out of debt. Finally.

Wow, haven't visited here in awhile. Everything sucks now. In 6-8 (6b) and my students are shits today. Went to the fiscalia and that sucked too. More about that later. I'm reminded of a song:

Life is Shit
Life is Shit
The World is Shit
The World is shiiiiiittt

This is life as I know it ...

Was just talking to one of my students and she told me about what my AD, Alfonso, was saying about me yesterday. Apparently something along the lines of, "Oh you're with This?!". This makes me angrier than I was yesterday. I don't know exactly what it was that he said, but now that I do, I will definitely clear it up. First, I'm talking to Tina and/or Patty. Then, he will be spoken to. Sometimes I am completely amazed at the bullshit that goes on here. Veronica, my student, was like, "he thinks he has dominio over the Colombo and everything." She went on to talk about how he humiliated her in class and this other shit. FUCK THIS GUY. I would kill him, but then I would be classified as the Bad Guy. I'll just have to tell him what an asshole he is and leave it at that. I won't stoop down to his level, however. I'm not going to run around talking shit, then I would be turning into what I'm despising most ... a chismoso.

In other news, we ordered TV Cable yesterday. Hopefully it'll be in by this weekend, just in time for the beginning of Football. I'm a bit concerned about the Gators. The QB depth looks bad (if Wuerffel goes down, Schottenheimer? 12 completions in 3 years?). Sept 21 in Tennessee will be the test. In the pros, the Redskins are supposedly much improved, but we'll see. I always have my doubts about that. Playoffs? Maybe?
