Today marks one week since the start of my break. I think that vacations should be titled "world's best creation" for their greatness. Till now I managed to go to the gym several times, game more, play my accordion, go cycling and, ofc, stay at home and not worry about anything. A lot of people use their break to sleep more, but I don't like taking too many naps and waking up late because I think it's a total waste of time -- I avoid waking up after 9am because of that, so that i can have more time before having to cook lunch. Even so, i'm not crazy to wake up at 6.
I plan to keep studying a bit every day, to get ahead on the lessons. But studying is tiring as heeeelll. Some days I just say damn it and go gaming. With that said, I hope this week goes by very slowly. I hate the feeling us students get on sunday night when there's class the next day.

Hi friends!! Sadly, break's over. Looking back, I can safely say that the only things I did well were finish Digital Devil Saga, Terraria, Dom Casmurro (a book) and sleep. I'm not very good at using my time efficiently...
Besides that, this weekend i went to a little city with hotsprings in Santa Catarina (Saint Catherine?). Pretty cool trip! Below there's some pictures I took on saturday (26):

It's august already... The year is 62% finished. Have you realized that it is going to end soon?
Anyways, I've been traveling, again, these past few days: this time it's my fourth trip to Gramado, Southern Brazil. The city's pretty cool. There's a sudden increase in tourism on winter, when the penguin people come to see snow and turn into ice cubes (I go through that everyday without even leaving the city), so there were a lot of tourists, even some coming from far away like the northeast and even Chile.
One thing that bothers me about touristic cities, besides the crowds, are the price increases. Almost everything gets at least a 25% price increase! Goddamnit, 8 reals for a water bottle?? I'm going to go bankrupt!!
The hotel was fancy, it had a gas fireplace in the hall, card system to open the rooms' doors (didn't work properly though) and even something called "bidet shower" in the bathroom (who uses those?). The beds were really comfy and I slept great on our first day. The second day didn't go the same way because my brother snored through the whole night.
We went shopping and I got some clothes. On saturday we went to a pirate-themed pizzeria and it was Awesome, all the employees wore pirate attires and they even had a breakdancing show in the end. Wow, that's rad.

Here's some pictures:

A small little breakdown, bear with me. There's no way I spent a whole week studying for this term's finals and when I got there, on saturday, turns out it's easy as hell. I thought I was going to get my ass whooped so I was absorbing the books' knowledge like this kid here but in the end that was just unnecessary despair...

The subjects were this year's hardest ones: zoology, geometric optics, eletrochemistry and thermochemistry, combinatorial analysis (!!), probability and plane geometry... Studying for biology was difficult because our teacher, Doc baldness Luciano, doesn't know how to teach! He's great as a biologist but he's not made for teaching: he started the lessons, divided the class in groups and assigned each a phylum to research about, presentate and that's it. I managed to learn about Porifera (my group) and had to rely on online classes to learn the others in ONE week, therefore I didn't go to the gym or attended my other classes during that. Physics and chemistry were ok, but I hate probability and plane geometry and my grades are generally bad because of them (7) so I studied a lot as well.

My studying schedule (for other things) was in hold this week so now I have to catch up.

If I had written this post before the test, rivers of tears would be flowing out and I would be begging for thoughts and prayers. But alas, I didn't have the time for it.

Ok that's it. Bye bye, bye bye
