WE CAN DO IT (AND MALES TOO...)

 

My dearest teacher and classmates,

Fortunately or unfortunately, some of you know me from last year, so I don't have to explain my chaotic mind and life...but it is not also a disaster, but an unsteady way of leaving...

So, better late than never, and just because I enjoy very much with this thing (and not focusing on the exams that are in the verge of shaking us...) and, of course, because I believe there are a great way of being immersed in the language we art trying to get "expertize" (ejem, ejem, let me use a Spanish expression...)

And, first of all, sorry for being so primitive with my computer, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurt, I have to study.

Lots of love.
