Faculty*

Today I’m going to talk about my current faculty’s situation. Well, there is something that since I’ve got here it drives me crazy: the library. I really hate the FACSO’s library, because it is so tiny and it hasn’t enough books (that is madness considering that we are one of the faculties that most read in the campus and maybe in the university. In fact, engineering has more history and literature’s books than us! I know it because a friend went to engineering to bring a history book one time, and she saw it a lot of it, and in FACSO had just one).

I know that maybe it couldn’t be something too current but, it is important and fundamental in the university. We can’t work correctly if we hadn’t the material to do it. So I propose that as faculty we organized some activities or something like that to get some money to buy new books and redesign the physical place, for example an open-air theater, parties, sell things (food, clothes, etc).

That could be a solution because I don’t think that rector or anyone on charge make some “movements” to bring books and documents here from other faculties where they are useless.
But It could be a little problematic because of the time and the class and many people could be not interested on the project because they just don’t care about it. At least, in my case, I’d be really excited for it, because it’d be a request to do something for faculty. It wouldn’t be just for us, it would be for anyone that in the future could need it.

The benefits would be: more space to work and to read, better state of mind of everyone (students, teachers and librarians) because there are less noise (more people in the library are reading and not talking) and better infrastructure.

So that is my propose, I expect you like it !

Japan <3

Today I’m going to write about the country that I would like to visit: Japan. I chose it, because I’m a biggest fan of Japanese culture, particularly the samurai culture, I love it because I practice martial arts.

I used to practice taekwondo but now, I’m practicing aikido, that is a Japanese martial art and I can say that it is the best thing that I ever tried. I think that if I travel to Japan I could learn so much more about the discipline, the founder -O’sensei-, the philosophy and the history of aikido. Maybe I will visit museums or something like that, places where I could find more information about it. Also I chose it, because I adore the typical pictures of the traditional Japanese parks with a lake, the cherry-tree’s flower, the little bridge on the lake and the peace’s feeling moving around. So, I want to be there and experiment that feeling.

Also, I would like to visit a Buddhist temple and stay in there for a long time, maybe all my vacations. I will enjoy the silence, just the sound of the wind… and meditate all day. This is for me, the perfect day ever. And, of course, I would like to training aikido with a real Japanese master, in the central dojo of Japan. That would be something really exciting to tell to my friends, my family and my child (when I have it).

I expect to make it happen some day =)
