moi

I got up early to go into my history class. When I found it I saw only one student. I was thinking that I was in the wrong class. I started talking to the lady and she was mentioning she has another friend who went to Spain and speak a very decent Spanish. I get really happy when I find people who speak my modern language. In this class the professor introduce herself since she is knew to the University and it will be her first time teaching. She mention to us, students, ways to be greater and how we can learn more. There was this big discussion between the students. I rather would of like the professor to choice how she wants to great us. In the class, I was asked to work with the lady that speak Spanish and enlgish since it will be better for me, I agree. After, I went with them to walk around, and asked them about what they think of their own country and the president.
They mention, Lula did not help the poor instead was creating more. As their point of view, he was giving help to those who have more kids. The people would do that. They mention, in Brazil is hard to have things of your own, like a car since a car is like having a family. They mention, in Brazil for just small things you have to do a lot of paper work. Its bureaucracy they mention, Brazil is full of that and is getting rich by that. They do not think that new president is doing what she promises. They see her as the reincarnation of Lula, she is just the face as she says but that once who do all is those behind her. I thought of this as a good point. They just did not like LuLa, at all. But at side from that, they mention how in the south side of Brazil, there is a lot of Argentineans since the water, is so clear that you can see your own body even well the water level is close to your neck.
Actually this students are in their last period, they invited to taste some ====. I was well treated; I think I ate too much at this girl’s house. She kept offering food and I did not want to say no. The other person went to her Italian class, and return. The other girl was talking about her mom, how she work as a policy and works on defending her country, and her dad is a doctor. Later, I went with them to meet their friends who already graduated. I was talking to them and I was asking them, what some sign means and some words that I hear but do not know. I was told to not do those sign or say those words. Good to know or else, I maybe I could off got into trouble.
There are just different ways of communicating like signs, gestures and slang words. I am expose to a new life a new way to work things and new way of thinking. I interested way of viewing things. I was not expecting this. I thought I would do what I always do, think of what I came for. Learn the language, gain more confidence, work harder and chao chao. I did not expect of just learning how just thinks are different outside the academic side.
