About me

Hey everybody! I decided once again to follow my own instructions and write 25 facts about me. Let's see what I can do.

1. I got my name from my mom. She is also Daysi. I also have a cousin called Daysi. 

2. I only have one brother. His name is Milton, like my dad. (my parents are not very original people as you can see)

3. I find myself constantly missing England. 

4. I'm an introvert. I don't feel comfortable being surrounded by lots of strangers and I prefer to keep personal things to myself. 

5. Sometimes I just hate ignorance. That kind of ignorance that hurts other people without even realizing it. 

6. I collect CDs and vinyl records. I know that modern days allow us to have access to music but I prefer buying it. 

7. Even though I'm a strong believer in kindness, I don't see respect as something that everyone deserves. You earn respect with your actions. You are not born within it.

8. I don't believe in God and I don't practice any religion.

9. I'm a terrible dancer. 

10. One of the saddest moments of my life was my dog's death. She was a rescued dog and she had been with me for two years before she died. She was my best friend and the best companion. 

11. I'm currently in love. It feels great.

12. I really don't like babies. Their faces are strange and they're always too red.

13. I don't have a favorite band but most of the songs that I listen to everyday are from The National and Arcade Fire. .

14. My favorite thing to do is teaching. I consider myself lucky because that's also my job.

15. We look younger than we feel and older than we are. -The National.

16. Teaching is such a complex activity because learning is also complex.
17. I bite my nails. I loathe this habit.
18. I wish I could sing.
19. I adore Old Hollywood cinema. I'm really fond of actresses and actors of that time. I can quote many movies that I've seen too many times.
20. It took me a long time to learn how to love myself.
21. I don't feel uncomfortable when I'm alone. A few years ago I decided that if I was going to spend the rest of my life "living" with me, I was going to build myself as somebody that I could stand. And love. So I appreciate and feel totally at ease with my own self.
22. I find teenagers fascinating.
23. One of the downsides of having a job that takes so much time of my day, is that I can't read as many books as I used to. I wish I could have 30 hours a day.
24. I'm constantly moved and inspired by my students.
25. Travelling is beautiful. I've travelled to extraordinary places. I've cried over the beauty of a sunset. I've eaten apples in a beach while freezing my guts out. I've seen my favorite bands playing. I've hugged strangers. I've walked miles alone with a starry night as my only companion. I've been happy.
