I found this topic difficult to tackle, both in terms of finding the right song and connecting with it after all the turmoil I’m currently going through. The coordinator has already told me that I’ve failed and am therefore out of this graduate program, but I’m holding onto a glimmer of hope. She asked us to meet on Monday, and my friend—who’s in the same situation as me—will be there too.

Hola gente linda de la comunidad de HIVE OPEN MIC por acá Hive account@eudarcabello y esta vez para participar en la semana 321 que se titula The one. No quise dejar este post para último momento, siempre haciendo el maximo esfuerzo para mantenerme posteando a tiempo en la semana, esta vez paso y no quise fallar, espero mantenerme puntual de ahora en más, de verdad. Las evaluaciones del postgrado siguen con fuerza, esto me lleva loco de verdad, tambien con el trabajo de grado, sigo medio perezoso. Recordando que me dieron la oportunidad de continuar con este postgrado de Biología Marina, así que toca seguir dando más, despues de todo si quiero lograr este titulo de magister y capaz ahora si logre enamorarme del area Marina. La canción seleccionada creo que terminó yéndose al area romantica, la verdad nunca me dedique a aprendermela, pero es ahora cuando leí y me di cuenta que no era tan complicada de aprender su letra, como que siempre estuvo en mi cabeza, la canción es de las más bonitas del cantante puertoriqueño Luis Fonsi y titula "Imaginame sin ti". No quise seguir pensando a ver si se me ocurria otra canción, conforme de como resulto mi elección para esta semana, sin dudas necesitaba hacerla, capaz es dedicada a mi la biología así que me pareció oportuno.

Hello everyone in the HIVE OPEN MIC community! It’s Hive account@eudarcabello here, and this time I’m participating in Week 321, titled “The One.” I didn’t want to leave this post until the last minute; I always try my hardest to post on time each week, but this time I slipped up and didn’t want to let you down. I hope to stay on schedule from now on—I really do. Graduate school exams are still in full swing—this is really driving me crazy—and I’m still a bit lazy when it comes to my thesis. I’m reminded that I was given the opportunity to continue this graduate program in Marine Biology, so I need to keep pushing myself. After all, I want to earn this master’s degree, and maybe now I’ll finally fall in love with the marine field. I think the song I chose ended up leaning toward the romantic side. To be honest, I never really made an effort to learn it, but it wasn’t until now, when I read the lyrics, that I realized they weren’t that hard to learn—it’s as if they’d always been in my head. The song is one of the most beautiful by the Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, and it’s titled “Imagine me without you.” I didn’t want to keep thinking about whether another song might come to mind; I’m happy with how my choice turned out for this week. I definitely needed to do this—maybe biology is meant for me, so it seemed like the right thing to do.
