I'm on vacations until I get to Portugal for 4 more exams... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Today was the last one, Int'l Political Economy, I found it quite predictive because he gave us 12 possible questions and 8 were in the exam, that is, ALL!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I didn't have much time to study because yesterday I spent all day with my princess (Hyemin) and 3 other Korean girls (Suo Jin, Seronee and Haenim) in the Zoo (morning) and Botanic Garden in the afternoon, leaving the night to rest and to study an hour after chat on msn and before falling asleep. Today in the morning I studyed 2h more, had lunch and got 15min late to the exam... The exam was easy although there was one question that I didn't want to see but, in the end, I wrote a huge dissertation using my knowledge and some things I remembered from Political Analysis research paper (there's always a lot to say about environment) =) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I finish the exam after 1h, which leaves 45min with my delay... I am expecting no less than a B in the exam (fair isn't it?) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;OK... Estou de ferias ate' chegar a PT para mais uma serie de exames (4), estes foram o aquecimento...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;Hoje foi o ultimo, Internacional, achei-o previsivel tendo em conta que todas as perguntas estavam na lista que ele nos deu antes do exame!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;Nao tive grande oportunidade para estudar visto ter ido mais uma vez ao Zoo (tambem conhecido por Museu de Plastico!!), com a minha princesa (Hyemin) e 3 outras Coreanas (Suo Jin, Seronee e Haenim), e pela tarde passeio fantastico e divertido pelo Gardim Botanico (este sim vale os $7). Assim, fiquei apenas com a noite para o messenger e 1h para estudar antes de ir descancar. Hoje acordei e estudei 2h mais, almocei e cheguei 15 min atrasado (como e' habito)... O exame era facil, embora estivesse la' a pergunta que nao queria que saisse, mas no final, acabei por escrever uma dissertacao enorme fazendo uso da minha sabedoria e do trabalho que fiz para Politica sobre o ambiente. =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" &gt;Terminei o exame apos 1h, o que deixa 45min para faze-lo com o atraso... Estou a contar com nunca abaixo de B (isto para ser justo!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111593540852405484?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111593540852405484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111593540852405484&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111593540852405484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111593540852405484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/05/is-that-all-you-can-give-me.html' title='Is that all you can give me!...'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111577663744094045</id><published>2005-05-11T02:51:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-05-11T02:57:17.520+01:00</updated><title type='text'>AND THE WINNER IS...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CONGRATS Roidinhas!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My visitor n. &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

I experienced for the first time an exam at 7h45am, yeah... it's true!, and later in the afternoon other, this time was Spanish. The professor was extremely happy to see me there after almost a month missing classes. The exam as usual was easy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In the morning was the Political Analysis exam, this came a bit harder this time, with some definitions and my zero minute study didn't helped much, still good enough to get more than 70% and end with another B. I already got one B in Computer class. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now I only need to concentrate in study at least something for thursday International Political Economy exam, the only I need to study and then vacations... well, not really, I have to take a quick look to the driving license manual to get an American Driving License for $20, 25 questions and I can miss 5, and a 5 minute driving with a borrowed automatic transmission car, as easy as it gets!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111570121970045456?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111570121970045456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111570121970045456&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111570121970045456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111570121970045456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/05/3-done-1-to-go.html' title='3 done.. 1 to go!'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111557688438047425</id><published>2005-05-08T19:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-05-08T19:49:20.800+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Zoo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/640/DSC06338.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/320/DSC06338.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yesterday I went to Forest Park visit the 2 Museums and the Zoo...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I was told that this Zoo is one of the best and biggest in the US, it came in big surprise when I saw only a few species represented and this marvelous &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FAKE alligator&lt;/span&gt;, I have to confess it tricked me for a few seconds and got me scared knowing that what separated me from him was just a 1 meter tall fence. But then I took a better look to it... no movements (even when I called it &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;pussygator&lt;/span&gt;!), very strange, don't you think?!&lt;br /&gt;Some of the Penguins were also very&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;static&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and there was a window that said Python but the only thing I saw there was a guy painting the wall (Is he so dangerous?), along with other funny situations such as the Gazelles, the Gazelles I saw there looked very human, more similar to 2 women!!

Another evidence why Americans history knowledge is extremely poor... I feel sorry for Americans, the only thing they probably know is Columbus discovered America (even if there is a controversial issue about that, because Portuguese have documents showing they arrived in Brazilian coast line years before Columbus arrived in Central America, that's why Tordesillas Treaty included a slice of today's Brazil...

To get an idea I was certainly one of the best players in the team if not the best which made me play the triple of the others during 2 games of 40min each! In the end it wasn't such a bad result because the Euroteam won the world tournament defeating African team. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The Korean team had a second match and win over Indians by 5-4, a tough match between losers!! They were even worse than Koreans... ehheheh, one of them left me a souvernir on my leg, 2cm high by 4cm wide and a scratch of 2.5cm, a well executed job! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, after a late lunch and a 30min dive in my bath, I finished one of the 3 assignments for beginning of next week, 2 more to go, I hope I'll finish another today... I think you can guess which one I'll leave for last... yep, it's the Political Analysis research paper with no less than 1.5 months delay...eheheheh &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Como esperado aliei-me aos fracos Coreanos no torneio de fotebol, tao fracos que perdemos 13-0 contra os Europeus, apesar de estarmos em minoria 7 contra 8 e eles serem largamente mais dotados... Para terem uma ideia eu era provavelmente o melhor jogador na equipa levando a um esforco extra que praticamente me matou [2 jogos de 40min cada!, nunca tinha jogado tempo seguido]. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;O resultado acabou por nao se tornar tao negativo tendo em conta que eles foram os vencedores do torneio derrotando a Africa na final. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ainda tivemos oportunidade de fazer um outro jogo o qual saimos vencedores sobre os Indianos, desgracados nao viam nadinha de bola, ganhamos por 5-4, um jogo renhido entre perdedores!! Um deles nao satisfeito com o resultado ou simplesmente falta de jeito deixou-me uma lembranca de 2cm de altura por 4 de diametro na canela alem de um arranhao de 2.5cm, colocadissimo o "biqueiro"! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Agora, apos um almoco tardio e um banho de imersao de 30m, acabei um dos 3 trabalhos para o inicio desta semana que vem, 2 ainda para vir, espero ainda acabar outro hoje......nao, ja' nao vou acabar, a Anna e a Ilaria ligaram-me agora a convidar para mais uma festa...Ai a minha vida! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Bem ca vou eu adiar os outros e ja sabem qual vou deixar para ultimo... sim, o de Politica que so' esta 1,5 meses atrasado...ehehehheh &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111422337215757848?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111422337215757848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111422337215757848&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111422337215757848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111422337215757848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/04/no-surprises.html' title='No Surprises'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111418927924873331</id><published>2005-04-22T17:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-04-22T18:01:19.250+01:00</updated><title type='text'>YEAH...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My day is starting to be awesome right from the moment I woke up... my IPod is arriving today in the afternoon and especially the 91.5% I got in International Political Economy, yes that one I copied a LOT!

Hyemin and other Koreans wanted to show me a nice buffet restaurant of Asian food from Korea, China and Japan, all you can eat for $12, I couldn't say no... I finished eating at 5pm! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Sunday, I went with Yohann to Grand Blv. to watch Gospel in a church, I can't remember the last time I've been inside one, but I also know why..., 15min of Gospel and almost an hour of bla, bla, bla... and we left before the priest finished! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Maybe because of that, I got EXTREMELY lucky today, yesterday I study until 3am for today's midterm because I went for a Volleyball tournament in the afternoon (4th place, not bad!) til 9pm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Today I was very worried with my lack of study for the midterm, but as I was walking throughout the tunnel to get to class I see the fat guy from my class who warned me the class was canceled...EHEHHEHE... I felt so good and relieved. The hand of GOD, probably thanking me for going to church. LOL &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Sinto-me extremamente relaxado... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Passados uns dias ausente eis que estou de volta, festas, cinema, almocos, mas tambem um pouco de trabalho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A festa de 6a em casa do Deepak foi sem duvida uma das mais "estranhas" ate agora, isto esta a descambar... e mais nao digo! Antes fui jantar com a patroa a um restaurante japones ($47 o total, baratinho!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Sabado fui obrigado a aceitar um convite para ir a um restaurante buffet de comida Asiatica (Japao, Coreia e China) tudo por $12, isto apos 30min depois de terminar o meu almoco (2pm)... Terminei de comer as 5pm!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Domingo (com 3 horas de sono) fui com o Yohann a uma igreja na Grand Blv. para assistir canticos de Gospel, ja nao me recorda a ultima vez que tinha ido a missa mas sei a razao..., apos 15min de Gospel o padre estava todo entusiamado e espirituoso e ja ia em quase 1h de bla, bla, bla... ate nos pormos a andar de la' antes dele terminar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Talvez por isso hoje fui EXTREMAMENTE felizardo, ontem estudei ate as 3am para o exame de hoje porque 'a tarde fui jogar Volleyball num torneio (4o lugar, nao e' mau!) ate' as 9pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hoje estava receoso devido ao pouco estudo, mas a medida que me dirigia para a aula, no tunel o gordo da minha turma alerta-me para o cancelamento da aula...EHEHEH... Senti-me muito aliviado. Certamente a mao de dEUXX, como forma de agradecimento por ter ido fazer-lhe uma visita a "casa" DELE.

I'm going to work and study for real. Yesterday I was terribly frighten because the Int'l Pol Ecn professor didn't answer my mail where I desperately showed him that I haven't been able to study due to exams and other assignments, but thankfully I reached him before class and once again I managed to revert things &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;in favor to me&lt;/span&gt;. So, the midterm will be placed next Tuesday after class and no more excuses accepted! I was really relieved, I'd probably get an F-... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Meanwhile, in class it continues to happen astonishing weird things: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Int'l Pol Ecn&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Ignorance! Is this normal? I don't think so... maybe among the americans! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Not knowing what is an oligopoly or inelastic demand in a economic class &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* As we were in class with the door open some guy in the corridor goes by and a huge noise echoes... it was a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;belch&lt;/span&gt;! You &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;animal&lt;/span&gt;!! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PIG&lt;/span&gt;!!... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* The smart fat guy from class asks a question and as the prof starts to answer he gets up and goes out to buy a Coke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* The same guy brings the new fashion tendencies for this Spring/Summer collection: a terrible combination of clothes that I can only explain in Portuguese (sorry!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* It made me feel bad about this, the prof was so nice to let me take the exam next week but I had to confront him. He was giving Brazil as an example of a colony in the trading relations between colonies and LDCs and Developed countries in the begining of 20th century and I denied, I'm not an expert in history but I know that Brazil become independent from Portugal in 1822, so it wasn't a good example... He &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;swallowed and shut up&lt;/span&gt; and every time he was giving an example he looked at me to make sure I agreed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* One thing I liked was the attack he directed to Foreign American Policy when it comes to trade with LDCs such as China and Cuba. With communist China there is trade although they can be a military and economic threat but Cuba there cannot be trade at all. Hypocrisy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Spanish&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* The professor shows a big smile as I entered the classroom yesterday for another exam, HE didn't lay his eyes on my since the last exam, 2 weeks missing classes. By the way, the exam was easy again... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Computer Info Sys&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* It happened last Monday's, a really &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HUGE FAT BLACK&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;woman&lt;/span&gt; was seating in my row to my left 4 seats away, suddenly she fells asleep and starts to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;snore&lt;/span&gt; extremely laud, everyone was laughing nonstop except for the prof who didn't say a word. It lasted for 20min... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Political Analysis&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Tuesday midterm, the prof gives the exam and goes to the board writing how to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;calculate percentages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Are americans that dumb?!&lt;/span&gt; Unbelievable... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* A guy by my side is always playing &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FreeCell&lt;/span&gt; in class but is not a big player, not at all, I never saw him finish a single game in 4 classes! Poor american guy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A small comment to something I saw yesterday at Cicero's: first the HUGE &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1 pound burger&lt;/span&gt; Jordan (UK) ate, second the wonderfull things of brand competition, Camel was giving 2 packs of cigars for everyone that had american ID or driving license.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;E' 6a e FDS de novo, mas desta feita vai ser diferente do habitual, porque'? Porque vou trabalhar e estudar a serio. Ontem estava com as calcinhas na mao, receoso devido 'a falta de resposta ao meu pedido desesperado por mail ao prof de Internacional para fazer o exame noutro dia devido 'a enorme carga de trabalhos e exames que estava a ter, felizmente ele compreendeu quando no inicio da aula lhe "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;supliquei&lt;/span&gt;" e reverti de novo as coisas a meu favor =D&lt;br /&gt;Assim, o exame sera na 3a mas desta feita nao da' para adiar mais..., ainda bem que ele aceitou ou certamente teria uma nota merdosa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Entretanto continuam-se a vislumbrar situacoes &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;caricatas&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;surreais&lt;/span&gt; para um jovem pacato portugues:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Econ. Internacional&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Ignorancia! Estupidez! Sera' normal? Nao me parece... talvez entre os americanos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nao saber o que e' um Oligopolio ou Procura Inelastica numa aula de economia e' grave e vergonhoso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Enquanto estavamos na aula eis que passa um jovem no corredor e ouve-se o ecoar de um BRUTAL &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;arroto&lt;/span&gt;! Sua &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BESTA, ANIMAL... PORCO&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* O gordo espetalhao da aula coloca uma questao ate pertinente mas assim que o prof inicia a explicacao eis que ele se levanta e sai da sala para comprar uma CocaCola e falha a exposicao do prof!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Este mesmo gordo volta a mostrar as novas tendencias, desta feita para a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Primavera/Verao&lt;/span&gt; do seculo passado, ao apresentar-se com calca bombazine &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;mostarda&lt;/span&gt;, camisa verde escura xadrez pavorosa, sapatilha com &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;meia branca&lt;/span&gt; a condizer e bone' Ferrari na "mona". Lindo de se ver... que inveja!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Apesar de me ter feito sentir mal pelo facto de o prof ter sido benevolente para comigo ao permitir que faca o exame apos 2 semanas de sucessivos adiamentos, nao podia deixar de o confrontar e entalar quando usou o Brasil como exemplo de uma colonia no inicio do sec.XX no que respeita a trocas comerciais entre Paises Desenvolvidos e em Vias de Desenvolvimento, ao que eu &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;neguei&lt;/span&gt;! Apesar de nao ser grande entendido no que toca a Historia sei certamente que a independencia do Brasil se comecou a processar no dia 7 de Setembro de 1822 (Grito do Ipiranga). Apenas posso dizer que nao foi o melhor dos exemplos... Ele engoliu em seco e calou-se apos dizer que eu certamente sabia mais de Historia da America do Sul do que ele e que nao ia discordar. A partir daquele momento sempre que usava um exemplo olhava para mim como que a confirmar se eu acatava o que ele dizia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Uma coisa gostei, foi o facto de ele ter "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;desancado&lt;/span&gt;" na Pol. Externa dos EUA para com determinados paises e a hipocrisia latente. Veja-se o exemplo da China Comunista, potencia militar e possivelmente num futuro proximo economica tambem, e de Cuba Comunista, com a China os EUA procuram estreitar relacoes comerciais mas com a pobre Cuba nem por sombras. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BUSH es uma BESTA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;...ahahahah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Espanhol&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* O prof demonstra um sorriso de agradecimento ao ver-me entrar na sala de aula apos nao por a vista em cima desde o ultimo exame (so' vou aos exames agora!) ja' la' vao duas semanas sem la' por as &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"solas"&lt;/span&gt;... O exame foi novamente de caras!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Sist. Informaticos&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* Aconteceu na ultima 2a, uma &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;monstruosidade PRETA E GORDA&lt;/span&gt; sentada 4 lugares 'a minha esquerda, repentinamente adormece e inicia o seu caloroso e &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ensurdecedor ronco&lt;/span&gt;, toda a aula ria incessantemente 'a excepcao do desgracado do prof que tentava continuar a sua aula sem proferir uma unica palavra relativa ao que se estava a suceder. Durou 20 minutos...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Politica&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* No exame de 3a, o prof apos distribuir os exames dirige-se ao quadro e inicia uma demostracao matematica elaborada de como &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;calcular uma simples percentagem&lt;/span&gt;!!! Sao os americanos assim tao &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;quadrados&lt;/span&gt;?! Inacreditavel...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;* O meu parceiro diverte-se aula apos aula a jogar &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FreeCell&lt;/span&gt; no computador, pena...pena e' de ao fim de 4 aulas ainda nao ter conseguido terminar um unico jogo! Desgracado, ele bem tenta...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Um pequeno comentario a algo que vi ontem no nosso habitual jantar no Cicero's: 1o o &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ENORME&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hamburger&lt;/span&gt; de quase &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;500g e 20cm de diametro&lt;/span&gt; que o Jordan (UK) devorou; 2o as maravilhas da concorrencia de marcas de tabaco, desta vez foi a Camel a distribuir 2 macos de tabaco a quem tivesse um BI ou Carta de Conducao americana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111299127463803712?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111299127463803712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111299127463803712&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111299127463803712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111299127463803712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/04/mestre-guimas-rules.html' title='mEstrE gUImaS RULES'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111280740971622191</id><published>2005-04-06T17:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-04-06T18:13:14.620+01:00</updated><title type='text'>You'll have a HAPPY life if you do the things you LIKE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ...always the same!&lt;br /&gt;Monday, I continued my excellent day in the afternoon, Seronee (KR) invited me among some other Koreans to her father's Han Gook (means Korean) Restaurant for dinner. In the end we went to a lake nearby (17 celcius at night) to relax. When I got home I wrote a mail to International Economics professor asking to take the midterm this Thursday, he said OK.&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday I started in a bad mood due to a mail I received but after lunch I was back on business, I did a lot of "sports", chat on MSN and before dinner I went to the Library to do Monday's Lab Assignment of Political Analysis. Late at night I went for a walk with Hyemin and then sat on the balcony for a couple of hours of small talk (20 celcius). At midnight I went upstairs and started... my chat on MSN with Liina (EE) and Mia Pegado (PT) who's in Goa (India) on vacations until Hyemin came upstairs at 2am to bring me a sandwich (so sweet) and made me start studying finally for today's Midterm of Political Analysis, I felt asleep at 3am...&lt;br /&gt;I just finished the midterm, extremely easy! Why did I lose 1h of my sleep to study for this?!&lt;br /&gt;Life goes on... Carpe Diem&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De 2a a Domingo, ...sempre a mesma coisa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2a, continuei o meu fantastico dia pela tarde fora, Seronee (KR) convidou-me para ir jantar ao restaurante do pai, Han Gook (significa Coreano). Apos o manjar fomos ate um lago aqui nas redondesas relaxar (17 graus 'a noite). Quando cheguei a casa fui enviar 1 mail ao prof de Internacional para adiar o exame para esta 5a, que ele acatou o pedido. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3a, comecei irritado o dia mas so' durou ate' ao almoco, tudo por causa de um mail, de tarde fiz uns "exercicios fisicos", MSN na conversa e antes de jantar fui para a biblio fazer o trabalho de Politica de 2a. 'A noite foi dar um passeio com a Hyemin e depois ficamos 'a conversa ate' 'a meia noite na varanda (20 graus de temperatura exterior).

Yesterday I was a bit wasted (Hyemim looked at me and says: "You are drunk??!", you should see her face...) due to Smirnoff w/ lemonade vodka, so the study might not go as well as it should... Exams on tuesday and wednesday, a lab assignment monday and probably another exam thursday (spanish, still have to confirm). This week is probably gonna be the worst since I got here. The research paper is still to start, I need to speak with the professor about that, I can't find data for it (also my fault, I don't spend much time searching too!), maybe I'll have to start another one (easier). I hope everything turns out to be easy, I really need to get these courses done! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND TO BEGIN!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Amanha e' 2a, aulas, exames e trabalhos para fazer, muita coisa para estudar e comecar; hoje e dia de estudo na biblio. Ontem estava um bocadinho "alegre" (a Hyemin olha pra mim quando chego a casa dela e diz: "Estas bebado??!", devia ver a cara dela...) tudo devido 'a Smirnoff c/ sumo de limao, por isso o estudo hoje talvez nao corra tao bem como deveria... Exames na 3a e 4a, um teste na 2a e provavelmente um outro exame na 5a (espanhol, ainda por confirmar). Esta semana avizinha-se como a mais complicada desde que ca cheguei. O trabalho para Politica ainda esta por comecar, preciso falar com o prof acerca dele, nao consigo encontrar dados para analizar (em grande medida por minha culpa, tambem nao dispendo muito tempo a procurar!), quem sabe nao va ter de iniciar um novo (mais acessivel). Espero que tudo corra pelo melhor sem grandes dificuldades, eu preciso mesmo de fazer estas cadeiras!

Desde transportes gratuitos dentro e fora do campus em St Louis, a linha de fibra optica que serve de base 'a internet mais rapida que existe (T3), as aulas em que temos um computador por pessoa e todas com retroprojector e projector tipo TV de tecto, o arcondicionado em todo o lado, tudo optimo excepto pelo facto de apenas haver um restaurante self-service e geralmente variar entre o fraco e o pessimo!

Ai, dos carros alegoricos atiram as "beads", uns colares plasticos do genero dos que vinham nos pacotes de batatas fritas Matutano (passe publicidade). No final do cortejo e quando elas ja' comecam a beber mais do que aguemtam, ficam com os calores, mostrando os seios em troca dos colares. Para podermos disfrutar desta paisagem natural apenas necessitamos de nos dirigirmos para os bairros perto do desfile onde elas da janela comecam o ritual que mais pela noite passa tambem ele para as ruas (bonito de se apreciar principalmente pela brisa que se fazia sentir naquele dia apesar de quente).

As festas que la' se fazem sao do mais estranho e inimaginavel que vos possa passar pela "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mona&lt;/span&gt;"!! Nos fundos as paredes sao pretas e a cave e' transformada em disco, onde apenas se ouve RAP, R&amp;B ou Hip Hop. As americanas a dancar, nem a danca do ventre consegue ser provocante ao pe' do modo como as americanas se "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;esfregam&lt;/span&gt;" e agarram ao companheiro de danca seja la' quem for (tipo lapa). No R/C fazem-se jogos marados e, no andar de cima sao os quartos (esta' tudo dito...). Quanto a bebidas cada um leva para si. Ja' agora vou contar apenas uns detalhes de uma das festas que se realizaram na SigmaPi ainda antes da minha chegada (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;proibido a menores de 18 e pessoas "facilmente" impressionaveis&lt;/span&gt;): Chamava-se &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sexy Legs&lt;/span&gt; a dita festa, havia um palco, duas dancarinas faziam um strip, comecam a "comer-se", acabam a fazer &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sexo oral&lt;/span&gt; perante uma plateia de mais de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;200&lt;/span&gt; pessoas.

Interessante o meu Blog para as Forcas Aerias, questiono-me porque?

Yesterday the doctor said I could only water and nothing else, I ate white rice and a banana besides water. Today I should continue to drink lots of fluids and eat nodles or rice but just that. When you are sick and usually eat a lot like I do that is not enough at all, so I had to eat that white rice again but I put a small peace of meat too for the rice to get some flavour (huge amount of rice)...Eww! The things we have to eat sometimes... It's been 2h since I finished lunch (or whatever you may want to call it) and I feel HUNGRY, very HUNGRY, somebody get me real food please!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Odeio estar doente, mas acima de tudo quando tenho algo como agora problemas gastricos e nao so' nao podemos comer o que queremos como tambem nao podemos abusar na quantidade. Ontem a medica disse-me para beber apenas agua o dia todo e nada mais, comi um pouco de arroz branco e uma banana. Hoje deveria continuar a beber bastante agua e comer uma massa ou arroz branco sem acompanhamento nenhum. Quando estamos doentes e principalmente se costumas comer imenso como eu a comida nao da para satisfazer a fome de Leao, assim fiz imenso arroz e coloquei um pedaco de carne junto para dar um pouco de sabor ao arroz...Eww! Como sofremos. As coisas que somos obrigados a comer por vezes... Passaram-se 2h desde o almoco e ja estou com FOME, muita FOME, alguem me traga comida a serio (um leitao ou cabrito se nao for pedir muito, inteiro!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111222176107649391?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111222176107649391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111222176107649391&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111222176107649391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111222176107649391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/meal-plan-water.html' title='Meal Plan: WATER!'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111221058458538912</id><published>2005-03-30T20:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:38:02.910+01:00</updated><title type='text'>First victims</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Me and Matheus returning from a fabulous 4day weekend in NY(still drunk and with no sleep aftercoming from a after-hours illegal bar going for check in...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/640/NYcity%20%28305%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/320/NYcity%20%28305%29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The first two are gone...

Pela 1a vez na sua longa vida de 24 anos eis que ele chega 7min atrasado (Oliver, claro)&lt;br /&gt;. Pela 1a vez na sua vida Oliver dorme na mesma cama com um homem, eu! Este Oliver deve ter sofrido na infancia sempre isolado!&lt;br /&gt;. Pela 1a vez na sua vida Oliver entra num Casino, mas contra a sua vontade porque tinha receio de transportar um saco na mao e a sua mochila dando a aparencia de um turista... who cares!!&lt;br /&gt;. Oliver da-se ao trabalho de atravessar uma auto-estrada para ir comprar a uma estacao de servico uma sande do SubWay apesar de chover torrencialmente (os unicos 15 min de chuva em toda a viagem). Tudo porque no Mac nao havia o gelado que queria (maquina avariada)&lt;br /&gt;. Oliver o "piloto de F1" nunca passou dos 75mph (120km/h) visto o limite ser 70mph (112km/h), dai se ter "passado" quando eu conduzi o carro na volta e vinha um pouco acima dos 80mph (130km/h) enquanto ele estava acordado...ehehe&lt;br /&gt;Pediu-me para nao passar dos 80mph por achar demasiado!! Ele nao tem limite de velocidade na maior parte das autoestradas alemas, o gajo nao existe!!&lt;br /&gt;. Oliver demorou 4h a fazer 250milhas de dia, eu demorei 6h a fazer quase 500milhas com duas paragens(15m pra casa de banho e outros 15 de "small-talk" com o Sheriff de Illinois) de noite, chegamos as 4am de 5a feira&lt;br /&gt;. Apos adormecer (Oliver), eu calmemente passei a rondar os 90-95mph (145-153km/h), dai a policia me ter dito que ia a 87mph (140km/h) quando me mandaram encostar.&lt;br /&gt;. Era de noite, so' havia camioes (todos eles ultrapassavam o Oliver) e um ou dois carros. A policia era sempre o carro mais rapido a circular, dai eu abrandava quando via um carro no retrovisor o que me safou de uma brutal multa de $250&lt;br /&gt;. O pequeno carro (Toyota) e' sem duvida extremamente desconfortavel e nada aconselhavel para longas viagens, coitadas das meninas que iam atras principalmente a que ia no meio...ahahah&lt;br /&gt;. Em ambos os hoteis dormimos os 5 no mesmo quarto, quarto este que ate' a &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Biblia&lt;/span&gt; trazia incluido no package!!&lt;br /&gt;. A Ilaria (IT) usou por duas vezes a casa de banho masculina e a Cindy uma vez tambem&lt;br /&gt;. Oliver para facilitar a integracao de Cindy que nenhum dos outros conhecia ate' 'a data fazia questao de falar &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;SEMPRE&lt;/span&gt; em alemao apesar de ela dominar o ingles&lt;br /&gt;. Foram percorridos mais de 1500 milhas (2400km) no total do percurso&lt;br /&gt;. Em New Orleans havia no minimo umas 10 casas de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;strip&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;alterne&lt;/span&gt;, duma delas sairam dois mulheroes que a Ilaria, Oliver e a Cindy ficaram boqueabertos mas que tanto para mim como para a Marita embora com duvidas diziamos que eram homens (devo admitir que eram melhores que grande parte das americanas!!)&lt;br /&gt;. Na Bourbon St em New Orleans, na 2a noite deparamo-nos com um amontuado de "cotas" em redor de um brutal &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cruz branca&lt;/span&gt; (3m altura) na qual tinha um painel electronico (modernices da Igreja) que apregoava o renascer para a vida, para abandonarmos aquele antro de perdicao, para queimarmos os filmes porno, nao 'a imoralidade, bla'...bla'...bla'...&lt;br /&gt;. No &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Art Museum&lt;/span&gt; em New Orleans deixei um memorando no livro de visitantes com os meus dados e na caixa das observacoes escrevi algo diferente do que a Marita escreveu (Lovely), eu escrevi: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I HATE AMERICANS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;. Na Beale St em Memphis ainda na ressaca do St Patrick's Day ainda se viam uns quantos pares de mamas apenas cobertos com as merdosas "beads", uns colares de plastico foleiros, eles adoram estes colares, chegam a pagar $3-5 pelos mais baratos para depois os atirarem fora ou aproveitar para usa-los num lindo pescoco que antecede um belo par de seios 'a mostra (bem mais inteligente).&lt;br /&gt;. Na Bourbon St encontrei a promocao do ano num caixote de lixo onde publicitavam &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;dentes de ouro&lt;/span&gt; com especial relevo para a duzia por apenas $450...&lt;br /&gt;. Paguei $4 por um miseravel e horrivel cafe' expresso na esperanca que fosse bom, mas no final tive de lhe adicionar leite...&lt;br /&gt;. Como de resto ja' e' habito (detesto isto) somos "obrigados" a deixar 10-15% de tip/gratuity (gorjeta) em todos os lugares mesmo os mais estranhos que possam imaginar como num hotel. Pelo menos nao se paga nada pelas entradas (pao e manteiga) e as bebidas so se pagam uma vez (free refills) podemos beber o que quisermos excepto as alcoolicas, a agua e' sempre gratis...&lt;br /&gt;. No ultimo dia fomos tomar o B&amp;Lunch e o Oliver (nao e' perseguicao acreditem, podem confirmar com a Ilaria e a Marita) comeu apenas um bolito, "nao tenho fome" disse, mas apos uns minutos eis que se apercebe do manjar que o esperava... free refills de pao e geleia :)))&lt;br /&gt;O animal deve ter comido umas 10 fatias de pao com geleia...&lt;br /&gt;. Entrei pela 1a vez na &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Victoria's Secret&lt;/span&gt; (women underwear), fui com a Ilaria ajuda-la a escolher um conjunto muito sexy por sinal, azul com uma pequena flor no underbra e outra a condizer no fio dental na parte frontal :P (devia engordar uns kilinhos ela, mas a vista e' agradavel)&lt;br /&gt;. Ah!! Quase me esquecia... Oliver de novo! Nao e' que quando nos dirigiamos para visitar uma plantacao (uma daquelas casas dos filmes, neste caso a mesma do "Entrevista com o Vampiro" e outros, da epoca da escravatura) e ele esquece-se de por combustivel no carro! Nos no meio do nada porque tudo fica longe nos states, mas felizmente eis que surge como miragem uma Phillips 66 a estacao de combustivel que O safou de uma longa caminhada, sim porque eu e' que nao ia andar por causa duma estupidez do gajo. O ponteiro do combustivel do carro assinalava &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ABAIXO&lt;/span&gt; de vazio!!&lt;br /&gt;. Na bomba estava uma pick-up com um guarda prisional encostado 'a carrinha a sorrir para o outro preto, o prisioneiro que abastecia uns bidons de gasoleo...&lt;br /&gt;. Entretanto o guarda prisional vai pagar deixando o prisioneiro a carregar os bidons para a parte de tras da carrinha, e nos os unicos na bomba para alem dele 'a merce de um qualquer assassino. E eu a ter de aturar as meninas apavoradas com a situacao enquanto tirava umas fotos do prisioneiro alegremente... ehehe (para mais tarde recordar!)&lt;br /&gt;. Oliver passou todo o tempo em New Orleans de roteiro turistico na mao a ler e reler, engracado e' que nao deixava ninguem pega-lo por mais do que 1 misero minuto e por outro lado nunca sabia para onde havia de ir.&lt;br /&gt;. O mais antigo e famoso bar de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jazz&lt;/span&gt; em New Orleans "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Preservation Hall&lt;/span&gt;" tem um aspecto "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ranhoso&lt;/span&gt;" tanto no exterior como no interior mas nao deixa de ter a sua piada, parece uma casa abandonada&lt;br /&gt;. Na casa da plantacao era proibido tirar fotos no interior, adivinhem quem titou fotos?!!&lt;br /&gt;Se entretanto me lembrar de mais situacoes venho ca' acrescentar...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111220798165748941?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111220798165748941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111220798165748941&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111220798165748941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111220798165748941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/road-trip-details-see-also-road-trip.html' title='Road Trip details (see also road trip) &quot;reloaded&quot;'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111211724662528066</id><published>2005-03-29T18:12:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:40:47.030+01:00</updated><title type='text'>NOT MY DAY...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;United Airlines just called me saying they found my bag after almost 3 months, #@$*.....&lt;br /&gt;I was expecting to get money first and before I return to Portugal I only needed to go to the Chicago O'Hare Airport because I was sure my bag was there, but now the assholes lost some 5min searching for it and finally found it. If I want to be refunded I will have to wait for my complain to get to Claim Services and continue to wait, that is, probably I will never see any kind of money...&lt;br /&gt;At least the International Political Analysis professor understood my problem and is going to let me take the exam another day! Once again mAstEr gUImaS gets away with it...eheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acabo de receber uma chamada que vem estragar ainda mais o meu ja' de si mau dia, muito azar para um dia so'!!

Agora se quiser ser reembolsado terei de esperar novamente, para que a minha queixa va' para o Claim Services e permanecer 'a espera, ou seja, estou mesmo a ver que nao vou ver um centimo sequer...

Since 6h30am I've been visiting the restrooms every half an hour. I also have an exam at 2pm of International Political Analysis and the appointment in the Health Office is at mid day. Seems that I am experiencing exactly what I said a month ago when I had the Political Analysis midterm but at that time it was a fake and this time is for real. On the one hand I hate being sick like everyone else but on the other hand it is actually a good thing if we look in another angle, I haven't study much and I needed more time. So I just hope the professor will understand because I lied to him too when I skip his class for one week and a half saying the same as I said the other professor. We'll see the result...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sao 9h30am e estou acordado desde as 6h30am, fui para a cama as 3am com dores de estomago. A partir das 6h30am que tenho visitado insistentemente a sanita a cada meia hora (diarreia). Para juntar'a festa tenho um exame as 2pm de Internacional e um consulta com o medico ao meio dia. Ao que parece estou a experenciar exactamente o que inventei ao prof de Politica 'a cerca de um mes atras quando lhe menti acerca de estar doente para fazer o exame mais tarde, o meu problema e' que desta vez e' mesmo a serio. Por um lado detesto estar doente como qualquer pessoa, mas por outro lado ate' calhou numa optima altura tendo em conta que estudei pouco e dava muito jeito ter mais tempo para estudar. Apenas espero que o prof compreenda visto ter-lhe mentido tambem quando faltei durante semana e meia e inventei a mesma desculpa que usei com o outro prof. Logo vejo como sair de mais uma aventura destas...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111211181913030447?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111211181913030447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111211181913030447&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111211181913030447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111211181913030447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/bad-luckvery-lucky.html' title='Bad Luck/Very Lucky'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111203018219516931</id><published>2005-03-28T18:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:45:05.866+01:00</updated><title type='text'>HOLY $HIT (nao aconselhado a catolicos crentes!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/640/memphis%20%284%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/320/memphis%20%284%29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It's unbelievable, you find HIM everywhere, even when you think you're safe just open the drawer and there it is...

That is, I'm domed, I can already feel something in my throat squeezing it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pois e', ca' estou eu de novo a lamentar a falta de responsabilidade da minha pessoa... Necessito de estudar para o exame de Internacional de 3a, comecar a escrever e arranjar dados para as 15 pag. do trabalho que tenho de entregar na 4a de manha na aula de Politica e ainda terminar o teste que trouxe para casa para amanha. Adivinham-se tempos dificeis e tempestade cerebral para os proximos dias e muito poucas horas de sono a juntar a festa. Ou seja, estou f*&amp;amp;^%$, ja' sinto a corda a apertar o meu pescocinho!

We went Hard Rock Cafe dinner and for some live Blues in one of the many bars in Beale St. Very good especially because in St. Louis the only thing you hear is Hip Hop and RAP, EWW.... I'm tired of that!&lt;br /&gt;Next day some more 7h of Oliver's driving and finely we reach paradise... the fabulous New Orleans, I wasn't expecting to be that good, the French Quarter reminds an old historical french city, it doesn't look like an American city, maybe that's why I enjoyed so much. Bourbon St. in the French Quarter and the Garden District are excellent places to walk around. You can also go for cemeteries!!, swamp or plantation tours... Great time, I wish I could stay there longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saimos no sabado de manha a caminho da 1a paragem em Memphis, terra dos Blues e Elvis (Graceland), achei estranho ele nao estar la' para me receber calculo que deva ter ido de ferias para outro mundo. Fomos jantar ao Hard Rock Cafe e depois Blues ao vivo num dos muitos bares disponiveis na Beale St, nada comparavel 'a musica que se ouve em St. Louis, so' RAP e Hip Hop principalmente porque o Nelly e' de ca'... Tou farto deste genero de musica!&lt;br /&gt;No dia seguinte rumamos ainda mais a sul e apos 7h de conducao do Oliver chegamos finalmente ao paraiso... a fabulosa New Orleans, nao esperava que fosse tao agradavel, o French Quarter relembra uma qualquer cidade francesa historica, nada se assemelha a uma cidade norteamericana, talvez por isso tenha apreciado tanto. Bourbon St no French Quarter e o Garden District sao excelentes passeios que se podem dar. Podem tambem entrar para umas visitas aos cemiterios!!, pantanos ou plantacoes... Muito bom, valeu a pena ter la' ido, pena nao dar para permanecer mais tempo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111188071978140352?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111188071978140352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111188071978140352&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111188071978140352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111188071978140352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/road-trip.html' title='Road Trip'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111113474412933436</id><published>2005-03-18T08:32:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:48:28.303+01:00</updated><title type='text'>University Meadows</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/640/DSC05277.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/320/DSC05277.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;The Meadows are in the South campus of UMSL, it's where most of international students are living.

Foi apos o habitual jantar no Cicero's a comer ate fartar lasagna atras de lasagna quando nos dirigiamos calmamente para o MetroLink de volta a casa e deparamos com uma jovem extrovertida e provavelmente bebada no lugar do pendura a exibir os seus atributos corporais, "mamas", a todos os que deambulavam pela rua, foi ai que me lembrei do dia que era e o desfile que perdi... Estes americanos conseguem ser muito estranhos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111113346956648605?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111113346956648605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111113346956648605&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111113346956648605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111113346956648605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/st-patricks-day.html' title='St. Patrick&apos;s Day'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111110047530145626</id><published>2005-03-17T22:39:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:50:24.540+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Results</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Seems like I should go now to Vegas and gamble instead of May, I got 180/200 in the Computers class midterm2, again without studying at all, I love multiple choice exams... no wonder it is so easy to get a degree arround here!

So, after saturday I'll be away for a couple of days...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje e' 5a e como ja' e' habito a 6a nao ha' aulas dai toda a gente comecar as ferias antecipadamente. Nao acredito que haja um unico estudante estrajeiro que nao va sair daqui da pasmaceira desta cidade, no meu caso vou para Memphis e New Orleans com o Oliver (alemao), Marita (finlandesa), Ilaria (italiana) e uma outra alema que nunca conheci num carro japones (pequeno!).

Matheus (Brazil) was the first person I met when I first arrived here although I already knew him from Orkut community, he happens to be and excellent person and a good friend too.&lt;br /&gt;This is the city that I am living until end of May. I got here on the 3rd of January with only one of my bags due to a "mistake" in Chicago airport by United Airlines, still to arrive my bag!!!!...&lt;br /&gt;It is a quiet and typical city in the middle of the US below Chicago and next to the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. As I told you before, half of St. Louis is populated by "blacks", but in the Metro the percentage goes up till 90% and on the other hand, decreases to 15% studying at UMissouri-St.Louis! Interesting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gateway Arch de seu nome, o simbolo da cidade com quase 200m de altura, e ainda estou para subir la cima...&lt;br /&gt;Embora ja' nao esteja a viver na baixa porque apenas la permaneci por 5 dias em casa do Matheus, sinto falta daquele vista logo pela manha ao acordar. Matheus (brasuca) foi a 1a pessoa que conheci desde que ca cheguei apesar de ja o conhecer do Orkut, ganhei um grande amigo e parceiro pras saidas noturnas.&lt;br /&gt;Esta e' a cidade que me acolhe ate' ao final de Maio. Cheguei ca' a 3Jan'05 apenas munido de uma das minhas malas gracas a um "engano" no aeroporto de Chicago pela United Airlines, que ainda esta por resolver dado a mala permanecer em local incerto!!!!...&lt;br /&gt;E' uma tipica e pacata cidade de interior nos EUA situada abaixo de Chicago mesmo junto aos rios Mississippi e Missouri. Como ja' tinha referido anteriormente, metade da populacao e de raca negra, esta percentagem sobe para os 90% quando nos encontramos no Metro e, baixa drasticamente para os 15% quando observamos a distribuicao dos alunos da UMissouri-St.Louis por racas! Um facto curioso, nao concordam?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111060556413956171?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111060556413956171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111060556413956171&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111060556413956171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111060556413956171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/st-louis-mo-usa.html' title='St. Louis, MO, USA'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111052576235237418</id><published>2005-03-11T07:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:57:41.276+01:00</updated><title type='text'>mean machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/640/eu2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px; width: 283px; height: 212px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/274/4046/320/eu2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Let me introduce you to the most famous car in Coimbra... the yellow Lamborghini, Twingo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111052576235237418?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111052576235237418/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111052576235237418&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111052576235237418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111052576235237418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/mean-machine.html' title='mean machine'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111052281354863750</id><published>2005-03-11T06:08:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T22:58:07.666+01:00</updated><title type='text'>HOMESICK/SAUDADE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;I was looking for pictures to post and I found myself starring to photos I brought from Portugal and made me find kind of homesick, strangely I have been handling very well things fillings.

Can anyone get me one?&lt;br /&gt;A friend just told me that i missed last monday Computer Information Systems midterm 2. I came here to try to change my behavior towards school and study but it seems like i am doing a terrible job, i need a cure for this decease...&lt;br /&gt;Now I just have to work this out once again and speak with the professor, make up some excuse and do the exam without studying as usual.&lt;br /&gt;But, what I wanted to tell you is that I am arriving from my Political Science class where we had a Lab Assignment, the funny part is: we are allowed to use anything you want and finish it at home, although he gives us all the steps you have to do to get to the results for his questions, you can only see things like this here in US, now I know why they are so dumb! Especially the president...&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting issue was brought in class by me, but I kept it for myself. We were analyzing some data of St. Louis population and it seems like half of the population living here is actually black, it makes me wonder why I can’t see this percentage of blacks studying here at UMissouri-St.Louis, maybe 10 to 15% top! Where the hell are they? Humm…&lt;br /&gt;Tell me if you have the answer.

And also as good as this, Distractions, Zero7, Simple Things (album), and many more. I recommend Stephane Pompougnac for those who like chill out music and De Phazz Godsdog album. For those who prefer world music OST from Monsoon Wedding is an excellent choice... Oh, I almost forgot Next Exit and Obstacle 1 from Interpol (Antics and Turn on the bright lights albums), a different type of music compared to the others.&lt;br /&gt;But what I need now is something that cheers me up like I See You Baby from Groove Armada or Weekend from Michael Gray and make me think in next weekend party on 511 University Meadows, Marina and Marita's place... That's more like it!&lt;br /&gt;Well for now I really need to start my assignment, which I still haven't started...Shit!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111032837718917474?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111032837718917474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111032837718917474&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111032837718917474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111032837718917474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/music.html' title='music'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111026972566681397</id><published>2005-03-08T07:55:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T23:00:46.803+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ai...Ai... a tua vida!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Isto de ter trabalhos para entregar e' aborrecido e extremamente custoso, digo eu que percebo destas coisas.&lt;br /&gt;Nao e' que devia ter entregue hoje, 2a pelas 9h30, a literature review do meu research paper de Political Analysis! O que acontece e que tinha de pesquisar na net uns artigos relacionados com o meu projecto, mas como de resto ja e' meu habito e nao estranha a ninguem, comecei a tentar comecar a pesquisar apos uma noite de festa em casa do Matheus. Muita vodka a mistura deu no resultado em que almocei pelas 6pm e nao tinha cabeca para fazer fosse o que fosse. Agora, vi-me obrigado a mais uma vez mentir ao desgracado do professor, dizendo que queria melhorar o meu trabalho e que encontrei uns artigos excelentes que queria incluir...bla'...bla'... Fiquei de lhe enviar por mail 3a, mas ainda nao comecei!&lt;br /&gt;Com o "mais uma vez" pretendia dizer que FALTEI ao exame e disse-lhe que estive com problemas de estomago, o que ate nem era totalmente falso tendo em conta que quando voltava do esplendido fim de semana em New York e ainda estava bebado quando aterrei na 2a ca em St Louis, apos ter perdido a ligacao por um misero minuto em Mineapolis/St.Paul.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusao, ha coisas que sao imutaveis para mim esteja eu onde estiver... eheheh&lt;br /&gt;Vivam os Tugas espertos! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11306696-111026972566681397?l=deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/feeds/111026972566681397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11306696&amp;postID=111026972566681397&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111026972566681397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11306696/posts/default/111026972566681397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuxxnosstates.blogspot.com/2005/03/aiai-tua-vida.html' title='Ai...Ai... a tua vida!'/><author><name>luigi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='17' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W2-Z-LVPSic/SwOa4frx4mI/AAAAAAAABGY/hmhMB4WIXKs/S220/KYOTO_me.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11306696.post-111026694646274669</id><published>2005-03-08T07:12:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-03-30T23:02:16.686+01:00</updated><title type='text'>o primeiro de muitos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Pois e', resolvi aderir a moda dos blogs...
