... waiting for my university-ID to be issued (meanwhile I can't eat in the university restaurant, use the internet with an own sign or buy the cheaper transportation tickets)
... waiting for the visa to be legalized
... waiting for the prof to come
... waiting for the students to come
... waiting for the class to start
... waiting...
My mum would be very proud of me, because I am actually learning just to sit around, contemplating my surroundings not beeing stressed by university work or anything else. I'm becoming patient... bit by bit.
But wanted to tell you shortly about university:
seems to be a BIG BIG park! Hosts about 60.000 students, if I got it right, studying either morning, afternoon or night. Every day one lesson (which takes 4hours by the way). For me the next four months will look as follows:
Monday, 14-18h: Sociedade Multiracial Brasileira - o Segmento Negro (the multiracial society of Brasil - the negroe segment)
Tuesday, 14-18h: Pensamento Politico Brasilieiro (Political Thinking in Brasil)
Wednesday 14-18h: Institucões Politicas Brasileiras (Political Institutions in Brasil)
Thursday 14-18h: Relacões Sociais de Genero (Social Relationship of Gender)
Friday 14-18h: Topicos da Moralidade Politica (Themes of political moralty)
All teachers are very friendly and helpfull and most of the students seem to be as well. But the first week was only presenting the program and the mandatory reading, so I haven't had any proper 4hours-class yet. In about 1,5 hour I'll have the first one. We'll see if my attention gets through such a long time...
Oh, and by the way: today winter actually arrived. Temperatures dropped!!! to 15C during daytime. But hopefully it will only take two or three days until the sky clears up again returning to its usual 25C bluishness.
Beijos!
