First classes

Buenos dias!

There are many things happening here. The classes are not light. Many of the people here are from the USA. Most of them study at UCLA, I guess Berkeley. I'm not.

But there are also some other people from other places. Canada, Italy, Portugal, Spain... They are here because of their Masters, for their PhD program. I'm not.

Some of them do extensive research in ethnic studies, or in gender studies, or in sexuality studies, or something else. I don't.

They are dying coping, studying, rereading stuff. Well... I'm not as much.

I'm here to learn to think in a different way. I'm taking some nice lessons and ideas back home.

I intend to go for Masters next year. I intend to develop a research based on the ideas raised here. But I do not intend to go for Berkeley, nor Texas, nor Barcelona. I teach children now, and I intend to do that for a while. I like... I'd better say... I love what I do, and that makes me think twice (or more) in leaving them behind to lock myself in academia.

Besides, Tarragona is such a beautiful city! I'm also enjoying my time here. I'll post some pictures later.

Cheers!
