    April 25th, 2007 by elenamary

    I have been tagged by one of the leaders of the revolution, Tin of Flor y Canto en Xochitl.

    Uno.
    i want a job sitting under a mango tree reading books and eating mangos.

    Dos. Ando agotada. Mi trabajo me ha dejado súper agotada. I love the word “agotada” because I don’t think the english “exhausted” describes how I really feel. Me siento agotada y cada vez que digo la palabra, agotada, me hace pensar en la canción de Maná, Estoy Agotado.
