Am I enjoying myself? Well, I think I'm starting to. I mean, it's not like it's been all partying and having fun, but I feel getting used to the city and its lovely from-all-over-the-world inhabitants. Plus, so far the school has been quite exciting, and I really feel I'm learning loads of things, most of them very useful for my future. These week while hearing about Avid non-linear system I was wondering how perceptive was Fernando Pessoa when he wrote: Primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se. Yes, I know he was speaking of Coca-Cola, but he also had the experience of changing from one country to another, so he knew what he was speaking. Though I never felt that an alien here. I mean, it was my dream since I was twelve, it is like I already know the city by heart (well, the most touristic areas, anyway), but apart from the strange concept of good food that they have, is quite homely around. People are nicer than one could thought about, if you keep an eye for bargains you can even spend less in food and other stuff than I would in Portugal, and the respect they have for culture and nature is quite inspiring. Going to the park just to read is not being nerd around here, it's being NORMAL. And I love to feel normal once in a while, thank you a lot. :D
