Happy Halloween!

I can’t believe it’s already Halloween! It means the semester is about to be over – we have only about one month left. In fact, it makes me happy and sad at the same time. It’s great to rest, have the opportunity to travel and read things I’ve really wanted to (but never had enough time to). Although, I am sure I will miss all these papers I am supposed to write, these classes I am supposed to go to… After all, despite my “freaking out” moments, I love my life as a university student!
Last week was so busy: I had lots of readings to do and, consequently, time went by so quickly. On Thursday I went to a lecture on “An experience of translation”, with a man who had the opportunity to translate a book by “Borges”, a very famous and important writer. It was really interesting – since the audience had the opportunity to talk to him, asking questions, making comments, exchanging points of view, etc.
On Friday we discussed about the event we are organizing for the end of November. It’s going to be about “Literature and Childhood” – there will be three lecturers and we (“Children’s Literature students) will have to present our research papers. As I have already said, I am going to write about “A Series of Unfortunate Events”! I think it’s going to be really interesting! (At least I hope so!)
That’s all for now. I gotta go – my books are waiting. And since it’s a beautiful sunny day (which has been rare here in Florianópolis), I intend to go out today. After this busy week, I deserve it, don’t I?
