19th march 2011

Guess who's back. Did you miss me? :) I know I have been away from writting LJ's for a long time, but I can explain!

It all begun when I was told to start doing just one Lj entry per week so that I would have more to write in just one, instead of rambling about something in two. But that was ok... I didn't mind, but because of that I was always delaying until last week, which I was going to do my Learning Journal entry but my pc crashed! I don't really know what truly happened to it, but it's really slow, and sometimes it blocks or something... so now the only way that I can go to the internet is by accessing my mom's computer which ,unfortunately, I can't be on it 24/7 as I am used to, so it gives me a lot of time to do nothing :) :)

Now that I've explained myself, I am going to write about our class of 17 march, thursday. In this class, we started by talking about three dilemas that were given to us on the previous lesson, and we were also to be giving our opinion but i kinda felt like no-one wanted or liked my opinion on the dilema thas was given to me and Rodrigo. The dilema was about a really good painter named Craft ( the best in the region) that applys to a programme ,which Connie is the head of the foundation which organises it, that brings artists to teach in middle-schools. Connie received a lot of applications but she knows she's going to accept Craft because, of course, he is the best painter in the region and as a national reputation. She thinks that, until she knows that he doesn't hold a PHD because when she knows she gets all worried about, and even confronts him. Craft than explains the situation, that he had to join the army but he had atended to every class. He then, out of knowhere, blackmails her into accept him, saying that he will sue her if she denies his application just because of a misprint. Finnaly there is a question, if Connie should accept or decline his application... And here is where no-one understands my point, but I am now going to explain why did I said that she should accept him.

First of all, he is the best-known artist of the region, which means that he would bring, almost better than anyone, knoweldge and talent, and those should be the characteristics of futfiling his job!

Second of all, does anyone know why did he blackmailed her? Maybe he felt threat and he really wanted to participate on the programme. Besides she would put so many people to jeopardize his talent just because he does not hold a PHD.

And finally, everyone makes mistakes. Criminals are released and given a second chance every day, why can't we give a second chance to him as well? I really enjoy how everyone was giving a second chance to the girl who plagiarized but when it comes to the guy who threats sueing someone it's totally diferent! How can it be that different? They are both two human beings who made a mistake, like normal human beings! So I am on Craft's side and so what? Sue me! See ya.

This week, it starts the handover of all of the tests we did till now, the 1st round, as I like to call it, of tests has now finished and it will be delivered. I feel like I should call the tests by they, instead of it, but I'm not sure what way is correct... Anyway, yesterday I finally received my test of Geography that hadn't gone well, and that I was hoping for a 12 but instead I had 14,3 so I'm really happy about my result because it leaves me with hopes to get a better grade at the next one, and therefore to have a 14 at least as my last grade of this term at Geography. Then, today I, along with the rest of my colleagues, received my English test which I had 18, which leads me to my track again. I say this because last term I had a deep fall from 18 ( last year ) and 15 that I had last term, so this way I can go back to my 18 hopefully. Next term I'm going to try harder, to see if I can reach the 19 because that would be something that I would really like, of course, and something that has been my goal for a long time, and that's the main reason of why I do so many learning journal entries, so that I can train my English more often therefore leading to a smaller amount of mistakes that I make on the test.

We were also, supposedly, to be have in our posession now, the test of Portuguese, but the teacher didn't had correct them yet, so she will hand over tomorrow. I think I'm going to have a good gradee but I don't want to augur xD Thursday I will talk about the rest of the test! See ya.
