This is the last one, this is the last one...
This is very likely my last post this semester and for this reason this text is the cherry of my cake. Reviewing all I’ve done on the blog until now I think it all worth it I really believe that I’ve got more committed to my writing process which must say it’s my weak point I do have a problem to put my thoughts on paper and I also feel that of course I didn’t repair all the lettering troubles but I could at least realize them and could also count with my colleagues’ help. And I truly need to thank all of you fellows for pointing out my mistakes, most times it really helped me and of course I didn’t get angry to that it is just the opposite I need to specially thank Nairana who showed herself very worried to lend a hand to all of us not just to me. But now let me start.
I don’t remember when exactly I got to know the book I’m about to talk but I remember it took me a long time to save money to buy it. In fact my brother has bought it although he doesn’t know this small detail. Well I also don’t know when I posted a video from Nirvana – Seasons in the Sun – but someday during this endless term I did post it. And I remember I promised to write a text around that and now here is it.
In 2006 book’s fair I’ve bought Heavier than Heaven a Kurt Cobain’s biography written by Charles R. Cross. You cannot imagine how anxious I was to read it. Well I took me only two days to finish my reading of almost 500 pages. At that time I was a huge Nirvana’s fan I was one of the thousands of orphans that Cobain left when he died. And after reading I didn’t get disappointed Cross’ book is really amazing it reports Kurt’s life since his first day until the tragic moment when he took his life away. Important points from his trajectory like Kurt Cobain’s parents divorce or his health problems with gastritis were not forgotten by the author.
While we are doing the reading seems that we are into KC’s mind there are 24 chapters with several interviews with old friends from the non famous part of his existence and his with his family also which gives us veracity. This biography is considered to be the best one from Nirvana’s lead singer. And I do agree to this point of view. My advice is don’t lose time and start reading right now – or at least at the end of the semester.
To conclude just a funny thing: the book is called Heavier than Heaven because this was the way of how Nirvana English tour was called by the promoters in 1989. And some how this title matches to Kurt Cobain’s days.

Clarice Lispector and her work of art.
Felicidade Clandestina was one of our obligatory readings this semester and as we are about to do a test I decided to share some info with you guys.
First it is very important to know that Lispector had a project which she followed to get answers for her life. This purpose is what makes her books literature in fact because it has to do with our reality it is not only a story about a horse for instance. The plot is not relevant what really matters is where the author wants to get and which questions he or she wants to make.
One other significant point is that books do not give us responses they interrogate us. So we must put the meaning in every book we must be compromised with our reading. We cannot be naïve.
But which questions does Clarice Lispector make? Her questions go around human issues. They are based on essential problems.
Who am I?
Why am here?
What am I doing?
Is it enough to get throw the writing process?
What it means to exist?

Nobody is perfect

Today in my post I decided to talk about my bad adjectives. Now I know that all you are question yourselves to know why I'm doing that. Saturday I had a discussion with my grandma, and I was in my room thinking what I'm doing wrong, so I decided to start with my bad qualyties.
First I need to say that I hate fight with somebody in my family, but I have my own opinion and they need to understand it. Now I'm going to reflect about me, I'm very nervous and all you just know that, I can't stand waiting for a long time, I'm very impacient too, everything needs to happen at the time that I want and I know that I need to fix it.
Once my mother told me that I have my father's genious, and now all the time that we discuss she says that to me and this makes me feel sad and very ungry, but I think that is true because my mother isn't like me in this case, so I look like him. And to finish this, I'm very emotional and this is complicated, because I need to control myself more because of the College.
I know that I have my problems, but everybody has it and I promiss to fix that, because I think that my future and my life is going to be better if I do this. I hope that my family and friends help me with this too, because I know that I need them, in my opinion alone I can't to result this problem.
# And you.. Does you have problems like me? Say it. :)

What's teacher's role?
What’s teacher’s role?
On this Tuesday we watched a movie that stills on my mind and it seems to me very important to have a little chat around its subject with all classmates. And this place is the appropriated one to have it.
For the ones who were not there or don’t even know what I’m talking about here’s my brief explanation: our Psychology teacher brought us to watch and reflect a film about different Brazilians schools where of course things were quite diverse and at the same time things were quite similar. What in my point of view is a bit funny.
As I and as well most of you didn’t make any comment at that time because we were perhaps shocked to the reality we faced or maybe shy to speak in front of colleagues I decided to “hear your voices”.
To me the most appalling part was when Celsa which is one of the teachers that were interviewed said : “A gente estuda e chega na sala de aula e o aluno te manda tomar naquele lugar” I know I should use English but I don’t want to change any word of her speech and I also know that my translation wouldn’t be as faithful as I wish. So I’m sorry.
This made me wonder about what’s our role as teacher? Is it only to go to the classroom? Are we going to fell just like Celsa? And specially now that we have so many deadlines to accomplish and we really need to hurry to do all we must do to be approved I ask you: Does it worth to be here? To be there?
Please people help me to find an answer!

Information about 2 parties

Today my post is an information for people who like parties. So I have decided to talk about two parties that are going to happen in this days.
The first party is Alexandre Pires's Concert. It is going to be realized on July seventeenth, next weekend in Centro de Eventos, Fenadoce. This concert is a great opportunity for people who like Pagode, the singer is lauching his new DVD which is very good he will sing his old and new songs. So if you like Pagode/Samba go see this concert. I have already seen Alexandre's concert once and it is great.
The second party is going to happen just in August, August fifteenth more precisely, the party Double Beer in DC Eventos. It has two ambients, the first with people who like psy with Djs Manolas, Flame, Lucas and Anderson Lisboa and the second with people who like Pagode with the bands Agora é pra Valer, PontuGê and the best pagode's band of the Rio Grande do Sul Pura Cadência. So the Double Beer is like that, you arrive at the party around 23:00 pm and you buy a beer and win another that at the 2:00 am and there is other information, boys receive a bracelet of neon color and girls receive it too, but with different colors and in the middle of the party there is a Blackout and NOBODY BELONGS TO NOBODY.
So come to one of them, you select a party and have fun with your frind and boyfriend, or if you want go in both, but the fun is guaranteed. I am going to go on the second one how about you?
