Ok, so it is almost 2AM. Unlike many of you, this is not an usual hour to see me awake - I am a nice wake-up-at-8, sleep-at-12 guy. But this last couple of weeks have been hectic, and this is the culmination of the fscking process. Shit, no, it’s not yet the culmination… Tomorrow I’ll have to make a quick space to do some UPN work, which I have left aside for most of the week… At UNAM, things are going well.
