I stayed up all night last night. I slept about 40 minutes. The project I was working on isn't due until tomorrow, but I get really stressed out trying to do something the night before. It's weird. I would have had enough time and I would have been this tired tomorrow, but I would have been in far worse spirits. I guess I don't like time pressure? Anyways, I can go to sleep now and know that my project is ready to be turned in tomorrow :)
So, as usual, I met Sofia for coffee and crepes this morning (we have gotten in the habit of getting breakfast every tuesday). Today her friend Jacinto came along. He's too hilarious. He doesn't speak any English, but he loves making fun of how Americans talk. It's quite entertaining. I just turn around and make fun of how the Murcians (like him) talk. He coincidentally wanted to spend the day studying at Espinardo, so he gave me a ride there! It was awesome. I went to class (lame and pointless). At 2pm, I met for lunch with my friend Carmen. She just found out she's studying in the US next year so she wanted to practice English with me. It was very cute / fun. Then we went to class and worked on our drawings. From class, I went to the Psychology building to finish an evaluation for a group project. Afterwards, Jacinto picked me up and drove me back to Murcia (yeah! I got out of taking the bus both ways!) Then we met up with Sofia and we walked to Madre de Dios where a large group of us got dinner together. Our friend, Sarah's parents are in town so we all went out to eat to celebrate. Then I left early so I could put some final touches on my sociology project and NOW I'M OFF TO BED.
I got a splinter this afternoon. I didn't have tweezers. Stupid piece of wood.

An N.C. State Grad student made this car out of and all wood weave for his Graduate Degree project it is utterly amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it.
Mean people sawed down a tree, and this was the pattern that was left.
I've been told this looks like a cityscape, and I have to agree.
you birthed me with splinters under my skin.
every time i move, i prick my hands
seeping blood, turns from blue to red,
whisper to my shaky limbs, i'll never win

The first historical records on Aalst date from the 9th century, when it was described as the villa Alost, a dependency of the Abbey of Lobbes. During the Middle Ages, a town and port grew at this strategic point, where the road from Bruges to Cologne crossed the Dender. While it was within the Holy Roman Empire it was considered the capital of the province of Flanders. In 1046, Aalst was transferred to the Countship of Imperial Flanders, and absorbed a portion of Brabant, and in 1173 it was united with the remainder of the Flanders province. Its frontier position on the border of the Holy Roman Empire allowed the town to keep a certain degree of independence. Its relation with Brabant has been preserved in the city's white and red coat of arms, the colours of Lotharingia.
Construction of the town hall began in the middle of the 12th century, making it the oldest surviving town hall in Belgium. Several manuscripts from this period still survive in the town archives. During the Hundred Years War the town of Aalst allied themselves with Louis de Male against Philip van Artevelde and sent troops in the victorious Battle of Roosebeke. The town hall, and the city itself, were almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1360. The town was soon rebuilt and a new belfry in gothic style was built in the 15th century. This was a time of great prosperity for the city, dominated by the powerful weavers' guild. It is also at that time that Dirk Martens, a local citizen, became the Southern Netherlands’ first printer, founding a printing shop in 1473 that published books by various authors including Christopher Columbus; Martens would later become a professor at the Old University of Leuven, and he was laid to rest in the Saint Martin's Church (Aalst) [nl].
Aalst suffered considerably under the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648). It was later taken by the French Marshal Turenne in the War of Devolution of 1667, then occupied by France until 1706, when it became independent once more following the Battle of Ramillies, along with Southern Flanders in general. The textile-based economy flourished under the French. In the 18th century, the Austrians controlled the region. 1830 saw Belgium gain independence and Aalst became part of the country, this ended a long period, starting in 1056, of foreign control, by such as the Spanish, German, French, and the Dutch. The 19th century was marked by social crises engendered by the Industrial Revolution, with Father Adolf Daens and his Christene Volkspartij emerging as the local defender of workers' rights. This was in response to Rerum novarum, which established worker rights. However Daens felt this did not do enough. Eventually, he was made to pay for his "splinter movement".[how?] In the Pre-World War II years, the fascist movement in the Low Countries gained momentum, with the collaborationist Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond (Flemish National Union) putting down roots in the region. Aalst, along with Brussels and Antwerp were the strongest subscribers to this line of thought.The 20th century was marked by bombardment and occupation by the Germans during both world wars.

Master Splinter - In the original comics, Splinter was the pet rat of a ninja named Hamato Yoshi in Japan. Intelligent for his species, Splinter was able to learn his master's art by mimicking his movements while he practiced.
Yoshi became embroiled in a dispute with a fellow ninja by the name of Oroku Nagi and was eventually murdered.
Years later Oroku Saki, the brother of the man he had killed came to the city to start and founded a branch of the Foot Clan and in his new disguise, the Shredder tracked down and killed both Yoshi and Shen (wife) in cold blood.
Additionally in the 1990 film, Splinter escapes from his cage during the murder, and attacked Saki, clawing at his face, while Saki sliced his ear off. It is suggested this mutilation is the reason Saki took the Shredder disguise to hide the scars.
Without a home, Splinter was forced to run away and live in the New York City sewers.
Due to a traffic accident, four baby turtles and a canister of radioactive ooze were sent down into the sewer, where the ooze mutated both Splinter and the turtles.
He awoke the next morning to the see that both he and the turtles had doubled in size, all of them were also growing intellect soon learning to walk upright. The turtles followed him everywhere except to the surface but one day he received a shock, one of the turtles spoke the word "Splinter" and in doing so named him. In turn, out of battered renaissance art book he found in a storm drain, Master Splinter gave them the names Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.
He decided to train the turtles in the art of Ninjitsu with the intention of one day charging them with the mission to avenge his master's death.
When the turtles were old enough Splinter told his sons of his master Yoshi and of their true origin. Now that he was old and believed not long for the world he asked that the turtles track down and kill the Shredder.

Hamato was given the nickname "Splinter" by his students, due to his proficiency at breaking wooden boards. On one occasion Donatello was able to use the remnants of the ooze that transformed them to restore Yoshi's human self, but the process was only temporary and soon wore off; however, Splinter, having seen how humans could treat each other at times, concluded that he preferred his new state, particularly due to the relationship he had with his students. Master Splinter doesn't hold a father/son relationship with the turtles, as the Mirage Studios, Movie, and 2k3 stories suggested, but more of a teacher/student bond. This version of Splinter never calls the turtles "my sons" and the turtles never call him father. In fact in Turtles Forever the old toon turtles are surprised when the 4kids turtles call Splinter father. However, in an episode called The Old Switcheroo, Splinter showed a glimpse of fatherly concern for Leonardo when he's slightly injured by one of Donatello's contraptions. Splinter also mentions in the series (episode; Snakes Alive!) that Leonardo is his most gifted student. Master Splinter even gets the chance to be human once more in an episode Splinter No More, but realizes he much more prefers being with the turtles. Master Splinter is always there for the turtles to give a wise/ungrasping quote or speech to try to ease the turtles' troubles. He'll also show a little ninja action just in the nick of time when it seems the turtles are in for impending doom that is inescapable.
