New Year 2011!

We welcomed the New Year in a very unusual way this year. We were with Abuelo, Ocarina, and their fellow ucevistas protesting the new insane laws for universities. The good news is that so far it seems to have worked, as they have not been implemented. It was moving to see that so many people had chosen to go to a protest to save the autonomy of their university instead of celebrating with their friends and families. I think it proves the level of rage and despair, even though the environment was very festive, and Isabel enjoyed the fireworks tremendously.
Too bad they didn't call some ucabistas to proofread their signs before they put them up, as, it seems, ucevistas are not taught how to spell. Maybe Chávez has a point after all?

Por respeto a la gramatica no sacaremos a pasear esa banderola.
