A little bit of news

tired.jpgWell, just a quick little post to let you know I am still alive! I am almost drowned tho between work and other situations, my mum and my uncle have gone by the operation room in these last days, I have finals to give and I am one week from finishing teaching in the Intro course of the Multimedia carreer here, so I am a bit overloaded, because to all that adds work to pay the bills heheh.

So sorry for the lack of update, new templates and links. Hopefully by the end of this week, I’ll have some free time!!!!

Lots of love to you all
