I went to the library and I caught this two books:

1° Angústia - Graciliano Ramos : a Brazilian author that I like more, so I'm very interested for read this book! And it's required reading for my entrance exam.

2° The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood : a dystopian novel that I'm very excited for reading, to read dystopian is very good to thing about the systems around the world and develop critical sense.

I also studied math. But I like more to read. Sorry person that like de exact science.

Fui à biblioteca e peguei esses dois livros:

1° Angústia - Graciliano Ramos : É um escritor brasileiro que eu gosto muito, então estou muito interessada pra ler esse livro! E é uma das obras obrigatorias da Fuvest ( o vestibular da USP ).

2° O conto da Aia - Margaret Atwood : um romance distópico que eu estou muito animada pra ler, ler distopias é muito bom para pensar sobre os sistemas ao redor do mundo e desenvolver senso crítico.

Eu também estudei matemática. Mas eu gostou muito mais de ler. Desculpe pessoas de exatas.

DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.

Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:

THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.

PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!

edit: I’m sorry if it sounded like I’m blaming Europe. I’m not. It’s our own government’s fault (Bolsonaro merged the agriculture and environmental ministries when he was elected, for God’s sake) and I’m really sorry if I offended anyone, I was just angry. Please don’t let that be the only thing you take away from this post.

edit 2: a lot of people have been mad at me about the half sentence I made about Trump. I’m sorry for it not being clear enough, but I never intended to put the blame on him also. I merely used him as an exemple of a politician who does not do much for the environment in general. In fact, since Bolsonaro is constantly sucking up to him, he offered to help, wich I am very grateful for. Again, I ask of you to not let this be the only thing you take away from the post.

Update: GUYS FRANCE JUST CALLED FOR AN EMERGENCY G7 MEETING TO RESOLVE THIS. I’M SO GLAD!! Let’s hope they get together to like punch our president or something...

This days it's so hard to me now, I'm nervous and unprepared for this exam, it's like everything I do is not enough to pass this year, I don't want to go to class anymore and I want to study more at home. I'm not separating more time to play my violin, although practiced today and it was wonderful. I'm trying survive this week.

Ps.: This place is a coffee inside the college. I like to study there when I want to go out.

Esses dias tem sido difíceis pra mim, eu estou nervosa e me sentindo despreparada pro vestibular, é como se tudo que eu tivesse feito não fosse o suficiente para passar esse ano. Eu não estou querendo mais ir às aulas e quero estudar em casa. Eu não estou separando tempo para tocar violino também, apesar de eu ter praticado hoje e ter sido maravilhoso. É, eu estou tentando sobreviver.

Ps.: Esse lugar é um café que fica dentro do cursinho ( na faculdade ) eu estudo lá quando quero espairecer.

Hoje foi um dia bem agitado, eu quase morri fazendo uma redação, e quando eu vi estava ficando atrasada pra aula de resolução da prova antiga que eu fiz, eu realmente gosto do meu professor de texto! Eu fechei o dia com aulas de biologia, gramática, física e filosofia.

Ps.: Hoje eu recebi um dos últimos kits de materiais a serem entregues, o que significa que está acabando! Isso me deixou nervosa.
