Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel prize for literature this year. It’s on the news but being one of my favorite writers makes me so happy. He’s an amazing writer and thank God I discovered him in a period of my life when his work could inspire me and shape me up as a human being. Same with Jose Saramago but unfortunately he passed away. These are writers anyone should read. Some of my friends consider Saramago a difficult writer to read but v time I read his books, I feel I’m inside his characters’ minds. It’s such an amazing feeling, I don’t recall any reading experience that could lead you to such sensation.

Anyway, great to be in school. Got tons of reading, tons of unknown words, tons of heavy books. But, hey, this is all about learning. Yesterday we had the first seminar for the second course this term and we got involved in such amazing discussions with our professor…great feeling to be a student!

Keep you posted. I have been writing a material on self esteem and being fat but it’s so “unpopular” and I won’t publish it. People tend to react extremely harsh when touching such sensitive topics….
