Un Examen
El jueves próximo, tengo un
examen de estadísticas. Me pongo nerviosa porque tengo que pasar este examen
para inscribirme en una clase necesaria. Si yo no pase este examen, voy a tener
dos clases cada semana de 7:20 pm - 10 pm. Es demasiado tarde para me. Me gusta
acostarme a las 10 o má temprano. Pues, no, no me gusta dormir muy temprano,
pero empiezo el trabajo a las 7 por la mañana y por eso quiero dormir a las 10.
He estudiado un poco por el examen, pero hoy no siento preparado. Tengo 5 días más para estudiar. No sería difícil excepto que es el fin del semestre y hay otras tareas que necesito terminar.

Una Clase, una Teoría
Es otoño en Virginia. Cuando fui a la universidad hoy, vi muchas hojas por el suelo. Podía oler muchas hojas y el odor me hizo estornudar.
Tuve una clase sobre la política americana. Hablabamos sobre la teoría de la elección racional. Aunque me gusta mucho la ciencia política, no me interesía este tema. Me aparece el sentido común. Necesitamos esta teoría de las acciones de individuos para usar el método científico para aprender de las ciencias sociales. Pero admitio que el subjeto es importante. Tenemos que discutirlo. La idea incluye dos supuestos principales. Primero, la gente tiene preferencias. Segundo, la gente va a hacer lo que puede para conseguir sus preferencias. Aunque muchos eruditos critican este teoría, no veo una idea mejor. Como ha dicho mi profesor, la teoría es una herramienta que podemos usar en nuestras investigaciones.

A Return
Guao! No he escrito en este blog
desde hace dos años. Pero voy a empezar de nuevo. Leí un blog en que el autor
explicó que necesito escribir cien palabras todos los días y cometer más
errores. Sé que aprendo más cuando no tengo miedo de equivocarme, pero es muy
difícil.
He pensado que tengo este blog y puedo usarlo para mejorar el español. Quiero escribir cien palabras cada día. Como ves, es muy difícil porque no tengo un vocabulario muy grande. Voy a intentar leer sobre unos temas interesantes, crear una lista de palabras nuevas, y escribir un redacto.
Tengo la tarea y el trabajo, entonces no sé cuanto éxito voy a tener. Mis clases terminan en dos semanas. Pero después de esas clases, tengo que empezar leer para mi clase acerca de México.

Obama: «EE.UU. seguirá protegiendo a sus ciudadanos»
Artículo Original
Rough Translation
The United States is not intimidated by the decapitation of journalist James Foley and will continue attacking jihadists of ISIS, Barack Obama has advised this Wednesday. Again interrupting his vacation, Obama has appeared in front of television cameras to repudiate the latest act of the terrorists.
"The entire world is horrified by this brutal murder," said the American president. His death "has shocked the conscience of the world, and we all have broken hearts," said Obama, with sombre face and tone. After expressing his condolences toward the family and friends [of the journalist], Obama warned the jihadists that they will lose this war. "People who act this way lose in the end," he affirmed. According to the president, "The United State will continue protecting its citizens, remain vigilante and without rest; we will continue to confront ISIS." He requested a "global force," including the Arab countries, because "a group like this has no place in the 21st century." Obama promised to continue the fight against this type of terrorism, to honor the people who, like James Foley, did what was possible to report through their journalism.
During his talk, he mentioned some of the atrocities committed by the militants of ISIS. "They attack women and children; kill Muslims by the thousands; persecute Christians and other religious minorities. Religion never teaches that, no just God is for what they did yesterday. Their ideology is not appropriate for any human being," he declared.

Estados Unidos no se arredra por la decapitación del periodista James Foley y
seguirá atacando a los yihadistas del Estado Islámico de Irak y
Levante, según ha advertido Barack Obama este miércoles. Interrumpiendo
de nuevo sus vacaciones, Obama ha comparecido ante las cámaras de televisión para repudiar la última acción de los terroristas.
«El mundo entero está horrorizado por este brutal asesinato»,
dijo el presidente estadounidense. Su muerte «ha sacudido la conciencia
del mundo, y todos tenemos el corazón roto», dijo un Obama con rostro y
tono sombríos. Después de expresar sus condolencias hacia familiares y
amigos, Obama advirtió a los yihadistas que perderán esta guerra. «Gente
que se comporta así al final pierde», afirmó.
Según el presidente, «Estados Unidos seguirá protegiendo a sus ciudadanos, seguirá vigilante y sin descanso; seguiremos confrontando al Estado Islámico
de Irak y Levante». Pidió un «esfuerzo global», también entre los
países árabes, porque «un grupo así no tiene sitio en el siglo XXI».
Obama prometió continuar la lucha contra este tipo de
terrorismo, como un homenaje también a personas que como James Foley
hicieron lo posible para denunciar sus hechos mediante su trabajo
periodístico.
Durante su intervención, mencionó algunas de las
atrocidades cometidas por los militantes del Estado Islámico. «Atacan a
mujeres y niños; matan a musulmanes por miles; persiguen a cristianos y
otras minorías religiosas. Ninguna religión enseña eso, ningún Dios
justo está por lo que ellos hicieron ayer. Su ideología no es propia de ningún ser humano», declaró.

Un Dessin
On disait dans le livre: "Les serpents boas avalent leur proie toute entière, sans la mâcher. Ensuite ils ne peuvent plus bouger et ils dorment pendant les six mois de leur digestion."
J'ai alors beaucoup réfléchi sur les aventures de la jungle et, à mon tour, j'ai réussi, avec un crayon de couleur, à tracer mon premier dessin. Mon dessin numéro. Il était comme ça:
In the book, it said: "Boas swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. Then they cannot move and they sleep during the six months of digestion."
I then reflected on the adventures of the jungle and, in time, I drew my first picture with a crayon. It was like this:

The President of Venezuela Obtains Absolute Power
Original Article
Just as predicted, the National Assembly of Venezuela yesterday approved the call "Enabling Law," that grants President Maduro exceptional powers to legislate without the necessity of parliamentary oversight for one year. The successor of Hugo Chávez requested the "Enabling" from Parliament this past October 8, some special powers that he will use, he said, to "tidy up" the county and look for economic solutions. The opposition, for their part, has no doubt that the objective [of this law] is to give add a shovelful of dirt on the grave of the country's democratic system.
After the first vote in the Assembly, whose highest official already pronounced his support [in his day] for awarding the president legislative powers, Maduro attended yesterday triumphantly the headquarters of Parliament to receive the announcement, surrounded by a concentration of Chavistas.
The party hardliners have the required three-fifths majority of the votes to approve these powers thanks to the "yes" of a substitute, who assumed his seat this past Tuesday. The key vote of Maduro was obtained after removal the parliamentary privilege of an opposition MP, so that she would be put on trial for supposed previous crimes of 2010, the year she was elected.
With the law "of Enabling," Nicolás Maduro will be able to govern for a year, as requested, without the laws he considers necessary being passed through Parliament, something that will permit him, in his words, to continue the fight against corruption in a "new dimension."
After the parliamentary process of "harakiri," the president of Venezuela today intends to promulgate two laws to fight corruption and the "economic war" what, he claims, faces his government.
"They are the Law of Cost, Profit, and Protection of Just Prices, and the new Law of External Commerce to guarantee the control of imports and the promotion of Venezuelan exports. I aim Wednesday, as soon as the sun is up, for the laws to go out," said Maduro in an act of government in the state of Aragua (central).
The president announced an extreme offensive against corruption and the stock piling of luxuries [acaparamiento de cara -- I was unable to find a good translation, and when I Googled the term to see how it was used, this article was the whole first page of results.] for next January. Pre of this "offensive against the economic war imposed by the oligarchs, and that will leave prices where they need to be" are the orders for controlling various systems of applicants and the controls in toy stores, clothing stores, and car lots, that now have to sell at "fair prices," up to 70% lower.
The Venezuelan government has accused the owners of controlled stores of working with profit margins of 1,000, as fraud at the time of purchasing the preferred foreign currencies at the control of the state. [I don't... get it.]
Justifying his latest economic methods, Nicolás Maduro did not take it easy on his critics. The people "with their awareness have defeated the bad omens of the right, that are complicit with the speculators who predicted pillaging and chaos," said the Venezuelan chief of state.

Un Paragraphe de Le Petit Prince
Lorsque j'avais six ans j'ai vu, une fois, une magnifique image, dans un livre sur la Forêt Vierge qui s'appelait "Histoire Vécues." Ça représentait un serpent boa qui avalait un fauve. Voilà la copie du dessin.
When I was six years old, I saw, one time, a magnificent image, in a book about the Vierge Forest that was called "Personal Histories." It represented a boa [snake] that swallowed a wild animal. There's the copy of the picture.
