Some news.

It's been two days since I don't update. And I swear it seems like a whole eternity. I think that my life is finally back on it's normal track.

My first two days of classes have been great. I have about 6 new teachers. And from 10 teachers, 7 are men! I do prefer men tutors. I think that I pay more attention. Don't know why, though. Speaking of attention, Lis has told me so much that I am a nerd that I actually became one. I have offically found out that I love to learn, I love school, I love classes. New and fresh knowledge is something most apreciatted by me. I really must have an academic career. I know I'm not brilliant, but I can give it a shot, can't I?

My geography class was not that brilliant. My teacher is a new one. I think my old one was sacked for incompetence.I believe I've lost a whole year last term when it came to geography. I think this year we are going to have kenesyasim and neo-liberalism, and, honestly? I'm tired of it already. I've had too much of liberalism, capitalism crises and cold war already.

The next one was history. Another new teacher. I kiled hima lot. He seems like a theacer that can make the class enthusiastic about something. I really admire a theacer like that. Het a bunch of lazy teenagers to work is definetly not easy. We are studying on the first semester the State of Minas and it's gold mines on the XVIII century. Also see the French Revolution! YAY!

Literature class was definetly the best I've had so far and it was an introduction! We are seeing romantism this year, and my techar is brilliant! I'm finally going to read my first Machado de Assis *Hides from stones* and have good grammar classes. I will seriously talk to him about translation and university.

History of Art was great. This year we will study the Renacentism. Da Vinci, Michellangelo, Botticheli... I like modern art (impressionism, expressionism, dadaisim, surrealism...) but I just love the Renaissance. I think I will really like it.

My last class on the first day was biology. I already don't like it, and didn't like that gay teacher at all. He picks on me. >< Did I ever mention how much I hate to study cells? I hate natural science. Really do. Anyway... I hope that it was just a first impresion.

A very bad change was that they have mixed uo the classes. I have some of my friends on my class still, like Ana Maria, Bianca, Mel and Maiana. But that is about it. The good thing, though, is that I may pay more attention this year. And if I want to go to USP, I will need it. The problem is that there are some girls and boys that I just can't get along with there. One they I'll kill them. ><

After school I went to Vika's house, and Kill too. We had to celebrate Valentine's! When I left his house, me and him climbed Augusta Street to buy the two books I would need this trimester for literatue (Noite na Taverna, Álvares de Azevedo and Senhora, José de Alencar). The day was perfect... Until the night, when I got home.

I've got some news that weren't good at all. I was really desperate, and thought I would really fall down and don't ever get up again. But I have no idea how, I managed to calm down and put myself togheter. I think is was Hers and His hand that put me to bed and didn't let me cry to sleep, but have sweet dreams. When I woke up I realized I had to just go to class and not think of any of it. Not now. And wait to see what would come next. That is what I will do. And I will need strenght.

Today my first lesson was philosophy. This year promises to be much better than the last one. We had a very good discussion today about the fact that people just tend to take sientists for granted and the whole Church X Science dispute for the truth.

I had chemistry on the second class. I missed Divino. Boring leeson, though. As I said before, I have never liked natural science. At all. ><

Mathematics this year seems to be good. We have our old teacher, Inês, thank God. Everyone was very aprehensive about getting the most strict teacher in the whole school. We have postponed it an year, though! ^^

And finally... My project class. Two classes a week, followed, on the same day: Tuesday. Alll classes are divided in three areas: Natural Science, Human Science and Language. Thank God I was in Human Science. We have to write an essay on the topic about work and urbanization. And there are three subtopics, one with each teacher from the area you are in. The fisrt one was industrializaton and the city. The second one, the time and the city. And the third... The religion and the professions. Of course, I had to choose the last one. And I already had a good idea for the second one, but, fuck it.

I will be having my headmaster tutor me on the sub-topic. As a sub-topic form the sub-topic I've decided to choose the evangelic church and it's influences on people's jobs and lives, the good and the bad. I think I will go for the "Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus", but I'm not sure yet. I may take the baptists, since I have more sources on that area. Anyway... I may go to evangelic churches for the next months to really experience this and know how and why it influences someone. Who knows? I may surprise myself. I hope so, at least.

I left school and had lunch with Bianca and Vika on Habib's. I had my usual Beirute and Banana Split! Then me and Vika had to upfdate our student buss passes for this year. Before getting to SP Trans we stopped by an used CD/DVD store and I bought "Cruel Intentions"! I missed that movie. And hadn't seen the DVD in a long time. Pure luck.

One hour at the line of SP Trans and we finally left the place exausted. I took a bus home, stopped by the shoe fixer to get my tennis (they look gorgeous! *____*) and came home. I'm too bloody tired. And still have a lot of homework to do! ><

Kill, happy Valentine's again! A post for you here.

Logging off.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
