Well, I guess I survived yesterday after all. I spent all night long writing an analysis paper on Francis Fukuyama's "America at the Crossroads" and by the time it was 7 o'clock in the morning, I still had three pages to write. All I wanted to do was ignore the fact that this final paper was due today and go to sleep...But of course I didn't.

Today was the last day of my International Relations class, and I can't express how sad I felt as I left the classroom. It may sound foolishly dramatic, but having to face the fact that I won't be coming back next week to be taught by the best professor I've ever had is going to be harder than I thought. I realized it the moment I began to feel nostalgic for sleepless nights of paper-writing. Mind you, I was doing this just last night!

I guess all I can do is be really thankful for having had the opportunity to take two mind-blowing classes with such a great instructor; and when I say he is great, I'm not just referring to his ability to teach, his outstanding academic credentials, his vast knowledge, his humbleness - he is one of the key persons whose genuine belief in my potential made a significant difference at a time I was not sure I could strive for the best.

Oh, I love that:"I'm grateful for my state of gratefulness". PS: sem querer ser chata, nao seria gratitude? talvez gratefulness exista, mas eu to com preguica de olhar... Being grateful is the best thing that can happen to anyone.
Teachers can be fantastic. People can be fantastic. Inspiring people is something to be very grateful for.
Don't worry! You're gonna find other great classes to attend. Just keep that "esprit inquisiteur" and you will make the class interesting yourself.
Bjos!!!
And I'm SO pround of you Ca.
Actually, you're a such example!
And I hope feel like that in the end of sumer or fall :*
