Kind of like in Bridesmaids when they're in the plane and Annie is drunk and says, "It's time to parrrrtaaayyy". She annoys everyone on the flight to the point where they're miserable.
The huelgas are kind of like that, except without being funny.
All joking aside, today was the national huelga - the national strike. And while the normal strikes are annoying, today was especially annoying. No one went to work or to school - except for the US students who are obligated to go. So this morning as I'm getting ready to leave my family is having a nice breakfast, all still in their pjs.
"Por qué tienes que ir a la uni hoy Kari?" preguntó mi hermano. "No tenemos que ir al colegio."
Yes, thanks for reminding me, again.
This morning wasn't bad - except for the part where the train stopped for 20 minutes between two stops.
This afternoon however was another story. My train was 30 minutes late, then there were about 200 people stuffed in my car. Lovely. At least my house is only 2 stops away from school.
Let's hope all is back to normal tomorrow.
There was a three day huelga here in October and I was totally not looking forward to this one either. I'm randomly super sick, woke up with it at like 3am, and I all wanted to do was go buy drugs at the supermercado but nope, closed. Huelgas don't solve anything, people...
