Final exams!

Finally!!! We are ALMOST done! Guys, don't worry too much. It's nice to study to be prepared, but I think we already did everything we could, pretty much... now, is just try to relax and do the best we can and wait for the result. As Scott told us, nobody is going to fail. That's a good sign, which means that we are all working hard and doing what we can do! Doing the writing exam is not hell! For those who need to do, you just have to think that's another essay you have to do, but the difference now is that you already know how to do it! Structure, thesis statement, conjuctions, academic format... probably, we all getting sick of it!!! hahahahahahaahah do not be mad, Scott, I mean it in a good way :) It's adequate to say that we are getting tired of doing it, we need a brake! Ok, now it's better... About EAP, it is really impresive how I improved my writing skills since the beggining of the course. If someone read my first and my last essay, they might think that 2 different people wrote those. That's pretty amazing!!! I'm sure it happened to many of us... Anyway, digressing a LITTLE BIT now, I'd like to use this space to invite all for a little celebration downtown. I don't know how many of you are going to read this... bu I'll try! HEY GUYS, LET'S ALL GO TO A SHISHA BAR AFTER THE FINALS ON TUESDAY????? Scott, you are also invited!!! Come on!!! So, good luck all now and then!

Plans for the future!!!

The year is almost gone... this three months have just flown by. Sometimes I have a strange feeling that I arrived just a month ago! Differently from last spring, this time I want to go back to Brazil! I miss my family, my friends, some silly things like watching a soccer game or driving my car, that I hope it is still waiting for me. hahahahahah I'm sure it is still there! In spite of that, I feel content because I know I did the best I could and also learned a lot from all that. I'm writing better, speaking fluently and also more mature. I've already made some plans for the future that, for now, is still in Brazil. Maybe within 7 years I can come back here or even go to Europe or another country. The only bad thing about leaving Canada is that I can end up forgetting the English. Anticipating it, I bought some interesting books to keep in touch with the language. Another plan is to apply for conversation classes in order to keep using it and do not forget it. So, I think that nowadays I'm much more prepared than many people in Brazil when looking for a job because of the English and other things. Talking about my plans, for sure, I have many and if I am able to acomplish them I'll be happy and satisfied. I have 2 more years of college until I finish it and as a International Relations student I intend to know at least 3 languages besides my native language, Portuguese. Thus, I can become a diplomat. I'm aware that the English is the most important one due to many reasons we studied along the course. I intend to learn Spanish because it's close to Portuguese and can be used in the entire South America, but Brazil. My goal is to go to Buenos Aires and take a summer course there. I also want to learn French because it is a classic language and also can be used in Canada. I expect to find a good inturn job to make some money and get work experience, hopefully, doing something related to my area. Another plan is to get some piano classes. I already play keyboard that there are similarities to piano; however, they are not the same thing. Another activity I intend to keep doing is working out. Particulary, I don't like it, but the girls do. So, let's do it for them... hahahahahahhahaha. That's all for today. Ahhh, another goal is to have 12 blogs by friday. See you!

Why am I like that?

Today I'm going to write about one of my bad qualities... I am a really forgetful person!!! If I am like that nowadays, what might happen when I am old??? It's better not to think about that right now, at least, I still have time to fix it... I hope. If I stop to think about all the things I've lost until today, it is pretty intriguing. For sure, I can say that I lost more than 200 dollars. I think I'm not a materialistic person but to keep losing things is not good at all. Friday, at lunch time, I went to MacEwan Hall with Inna. I decided to eat at Baker cheaf. However, when I opened my wallet to get my credit card, I just realized it was not there anymore. It was pretty shocking!!! What a hell did I do with it? Have I lost it? Yeah, as usual... The problem is, someone could have found it and used it. I called my mom and told her what have happened so that she could cancel it and avoid that something worse happen. I was still hopeful about finding so I decided to check at Chapters, the last pace I used it. Fortunately I found it but usually I lose things and I don't recover them, afterwards. Probably it happens because I'm almost never focused on what I am performing. Consequently, I drop things or put them in a different place without realizing it. I'm also really, really clumsy! Here in Canada, I've already lost many things: shorts, two pairs of gloves and a sweter. I really want to change it but i don't know how... How can I stop being like that???
