College with Gatt - Soap Opera

Description

Please remember Latin-American catholics have different views than our US and European counterparts. These types of interactions with holy imagery are NOT considered blasphemy nor disrespectful around here, it's a cultural thing really.
This is, well, kind of a thing that happens often: I have an image of La Virgen Milagrosa (one of Virgin Mary's many, many iterations) in my room. Whenever it's late and I'm lonely and I find anything weird/upsetting/ridiculous on the internet (or in this case, doing homework), I'll just turn around and ask her if she's "seeing THIS". Does María answer? depends on how tired I am, but usually her glance is enough of an answer, you can almost hear her patient yet amused sigh...
Anyways, they forced us to see this Spanish soap opera for script-writing class: we were supposed to watch the whole thing and make an analysis on what worked and what didn't on the narrative (for those curious, it was called "El Tiempo entre Costuras"; beautifully shot, cheesy like a wheel of Gouda). But I digress. Friggin' protagonist made the greatest chain of poor decisions I've ever seen, right in the first episode! this is only the part where I kinda lost it, a small fraction of the most epic screw-up in life you could imagine. There's a reason why I never watch soap operas and novelas people, I have a solid head on my shoulders and female protagonists in these are just... ugh, María, are you seeing THIS? :'D

PD: made this at 2am in Paint. I'll most likely do more in the future, to share with you some college experiences. I regret nothing.

Hola, Gatt-chan
¡Ay sí! Yo nunca he visto "El tiempo entre costuras", pero lo que has dibujado revela que esa joven ha tomado decisiones apresuradas. Yo nunca quisiera perder mi raciocinio por amor. Solo porque se ama no significa que debamos guiarnos sólo por nuestros sentimientos y nuestras emociones. Tenemos. Una. Cabeza. Sobre. Nuestros. Hombros.  Te felicito por tener una sólida.
Por cuanto respecta la virgen María, sigue hablando con ella si eso te ayuda a desahogarte.
¡Qué bien que te quedó esta obra en Paint!
