From dream to dream

lu: (Thursdays)
Like I've said before, it's been a long, stupid, hard, stressful, cold week. And I didn't have any reason to think today would be any different.

Woke up shaking because of the morning chilliness, and lost track of time while dressing; it was too cold, and it took me a long while to attempt to take off my pijamas.

Left home late, remembered I'd forgotten my cell phone and my iPod while on the elevator; came back, took them, and walked as fast as I could to the bus stop.

My bus had just left.

Cursing the lack of public transports when people need them most, I waited for ten more minutes for the next one. It came, I got in. Read a little of The Grass Crown (almost missed my bus stop); walked to school. Was five minutes late already. When I got there, a friend of mine was leaving. I asked him what had happened, and he said they didn't let him in. So, instead of arguing and being sent home, I decided to just go by myself. Met my headmaster on the way and told him I was leaving because of that stupid rule.

At least I knew that, even though I'd loose my English test, there wouldn't be a lot of important things at school today.

Waited for a bus. Ten more minutes. Every single one was full. Managed to squeeze my way into one of them.

I was really bloody mad. All I wanted was to listen to music and be left alone. The iPod was obviously out of battery. Yet another mind-boggling day for a mind-numbing stupid week.

Managed to bury myself inside The grass crown on the first opportunity to sit down on. When I got to the centre, was feeling much better. Of course I got lost, looking for the building. But, in the end, I found myself on my final destination: São Paulo University's Law School.

I remember, back in a much colder city, thinking that I would never find something remotely like Oxford in Brazil (or any other place in the world). I'm not saying that it can be compared to my beloved millenar British university; but that special Oxford feeling... is more than definitely there. And absolutely everywhere.

I don't think I'll be able to describe it, and if I attempt to do so, I shall shamefully fail. So, I'll just simply say that after getting information on the subjects, walking around, stupiditly gazing at the classrooms full of not that weird students, I left San Francisco's University more decided, happier, satisfied, and fulfilled.

I don't really give a fuck if I may have to endure several weeks like this one; if that is indeed my choice, I'll study like hell, and will be accepted.

It's a bloody promise.

This just had to be a Thursday.

I'm sorry, Christy. I just fell in love with your boyfriend.


De sonho em sonho

Como eu disse antes, tem sido uma semana longa, estúpida, difícil, estressante e fria. E eu não tinha razão alguma para pensar que hoje seria diferente.

Acordei tremendo por causa da manhã gelada, e perdi a noção do tempo enquanto me vestia; estava muito frio, e demorou muito tempo até eu tentar tirar meu pijama.

Saí de casa atrasade, lembrei que eu tinha esquecido o meu celular e o iPod enquanto estava no elevador, voltei, peguei-os, e andei o mais rápido que podia até o ponto de ônibus.

O Campo Limpo tinha acabado de passar.

Xingando a falta de transporte público quando as pessoas mais de precisam dele, esperei mais dez minutos pelo próximo ônibus. Ele chegou, e eu entre. Li um pouco de A coroa de ervas (quase perdi o ponto em que eu deveria saltar); andei pra escola. Já estava cinco minutos atrasada. Quando cheguei, um amigo meu estava saindo. Eu perguntei o que havia acontecido, e ele disse que não o deixaram entrar. Então, ao invés de discutir e ser mandada pra casa, decidi ir por conta própria. Encontrei o meu diretor no caminho, e lhe disse que estava voltando por causa da regra estúpida do quarto atraso.

Pelo menos eu sabia que, mesmo perdendo o teste de inglês, não teriam coisas importantes na aula hoje.

Eu estava muito brava. Tudo que queria era ouvir música e ficar sozinha. O iPod, obviamente, ficou sem bateria. E mais um dia extremamente estúpido para uma semana mais estúpida ainda.

Consegui me enterrar na Coroa de ervas na primeira oportunidade de me sentar. Quando cheguei ao Centro, estava me sentindo muito melhor. É claro que eu me perdi, procurando o prédio. Mas, no final, me encontrei em frente ao meu destino final: A Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo.

Me lembro que há algum tempo, numa cidade muito mais fria, eu pensei que nunca acharia algo remotamente como Oxford no Brasil (ou em qualquer outro lugar do mundo). Não estou falando que possa ser comparada à minha amada universidade britânica milenar; mas aquela sensação Oxford... está mais do que definitivamente lá. E absolutamente por todos os lados.

Não acho que conseguirei descrevê-la, e, se tentar, irei vergonhosamente falhar. Então direi apenas que após pegar alguma informação sobre as matérias, andar por lá, olhar estupidamente para as salas de aula cheias de alunos não tão estranhos assim, saí da Faculdade de São Francisco mais decidida, feliz, satisfeita, e completa.

Eu não me importo em ter que aguentar várias semanas como essa. Se for realmente a minha escolha, vou estudar muito, e vou ser aceita.

E isso é uma promessa.

Tinha que ser uma quinta-feira.

Me desculpe, Christy. Estou apaixonada pelo seu namorado.

Sometimes I think I should have gone first to law school, and then to that stupid Advertisement one. Now I'll have to finish this one and study five years more to be able to work with the copyright stuff. --'...But if I do leave toMontreal I won't be doing law school...hehehehehehe xD I'm evil. not really

Bad days... everybody has one. Or two. Me, for example: I've been having bad days since I was born! --'

Luv ya.

No, but I think I fell for her long before you did. *dreamy sigh*

...We won't be with him at the same time, same place, right? (Here's to hoping dreams don't come true. *grins*)

Hey, who says so? We both fell for her a long time ago... Sorry if I'm the one she wanted to be with. *grins*

...Well--yeah.

When you say dreams it sounds like you actually want it. So weird. I know you don't. The Goddess forbid it! But it is weird.

LISTEN, you idiot, I began making eyes at her when you were ONE BLOODY YEAR OLD. So piss off, all right? Myyy territory, very much so. Says who? *shakes head* Wishful thinking!

I meant "nightmares", of course.

Oba!
Gostei de poder ler esse post e devo à tremenda atenção de traduzi-lo, quer dizer, isso foi legal.
Gostei de ler esse post, não por poder le-lo mas pelo que nele está escrito.
Garanto que você vai conseguir, tudo que quiser, ou o mais próximo disso. Você tem uma coisa que nem todo mundo tem, é determinação. (vontade todo mundo tem)
Isso me dá orgulho, muito muito orgulho de você.

Te amo viu?
E semanas melhores virão

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.
