The best place ever...

The best place ever that I've visited is Switzerland. I had the opportunity to visit Europe 2 years ago on Easter holiday. I went to Paris, which place disappointed me a lot; Amsterdam, which I really liked, and Zurich, which was my favorite place ever. Swiss people are nice; the city is clean, and quiet. Switzerland is on top of my list, beside the cold weather, I loved the country. I have a Brazilian friend who lives really close of Zurich and he could hang out with my friends and me and show the things to do around Zurich and Lucerne.

I love beach cities, warm places, but I fell in love with Zurich and Lucerne and if I have the opportunity to move to Europe some day, for sure my choice would be Switzerland.

My sign is Cancer.


My personality is very hard to describe. I’m Cancerian and I can relate my personality with the descriptions of Cancerian people. I’m very deeply emotional person, very kind, generous, moody, dedicated worker, and I like helping people almost all the time. I’m careless sometimes and I don’t like to be alone. I have a great compassion and a good sense of humor.
Frequently I keep repeating the things and I know people don’t like; for example, telling about something that happen in the past, which I didn’t like or something that disappointed me. It’s hard for me to forget emotional events and I have good imagination and intuition to feel what others are feelingI’m very worried about the future, and I’m always searching for stability and guarantees. Worrying about the future makes me insecurity about the present as well.

Spring Break

The spring break is gone and I didn’t do anything beside travel last Friday, but it’s going to be written in a new post. I had last week free from school to study, to finish my Algebra graphs, and also study for midterm, but I had no expiration. I’ve been felling so tired last days, I fell without energy, and the only thing I want to do is sleep. I think I’m a little bit depressed, maybe because of this cold weather, maybe I’m missing my parents. Also, I’m worried about the summer, I won’t have job for 7 weeks, and I want to take summer class and the money is short. I don’t know what to do and this is killing me, because I spent hours of my day thinking about it. I hope I can find a job for at least 5 weeks, or I’ll be harmer.

Changes of plans.

On my last post I’ve written about a possible vacation on the end of my spring break. I was very confused where to go and about spending money, but finally, I’ve decided, and the decision is out of those plans that I had before.
I’m going to North Carolina for the weekend. My boyfriend has a friend down there, and we decided go for a short visit. I didn’t have NC on my plans, but I don’t really care about the place, I just need a vacation to relax and be out of Connecticut.
I think the weather is going to be nice and warm. This weekend was 80F and I’ve checked for the days which we going to be there and I think is going to keep on 70’s. His friend’s lives really close of the beach, and I hope we can have a chance to catch some sun.

Thinking about vacation...

Yesterday I was talking to my boss about the NCC spring break, and she gave me 2 days off, Mar 19th and 20th, also I have free weekends, then I have 4 days to take a short vacation to anywhere. I was thinking about go to Miami, but I’d traveled to Miami before and I’m not sure that I want to go there again. Then I started to see packages to Las Vegas, and I loved the idea of spending 4 days there and, also I was checking San Diego…..to be sincere…..there are many places where I want to go and is getting hard to decide.
When the plan is vacation…there are many options. I start to thinking about money as well, and I don’t want spend lots of it….then I started over my search, and finally I decided that I want to go to Atlantic City, NJ. Unhappily the weather won’t to be warm to go to the beach and catch some tan; however, I loved the idea of spending my short vacation on the casinos and just relaxing in a nice hotel beachfront.

Snowing days...

Yesterday was horrible. I hate snow, and I don’t know what is worse, snows on the weekend or weekday. I think maybe on weekdays, because on weekend you can make plans to be inside, getting together with friends, watching movies, playing cards, or whatever.
I was stuck all day long inside, couldn’t go anywhere, so slippery and cold outside. The only time that I went outside, was to get the mail, and it was enough to make me sicker of this weather. Thinking better, I’m sick of this cold since before Christmas. How the winter can be so long? It has been cold since September, and I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t wait for the sunny days, long days, even humid!!
The summer is the best part of this country, is the time where I feel happy and with more disposition to do anything. The beaches are not good, the water is freezing, dirt, and sometimes smell dead fish; however, it’s better than nothing. It’s a place to lay down under the sun and try to catch some tan, after the endless freaking cold winter!!!!!

Public health system in Brazil.

As I told on my last post, I’m going to try to explain a little bit about the health system in Brazil.
In Brazil most of people don’t have health insurance; however the public system is very good and effective. If someone needs special treatment like for cancer, AIDS, and other serious illness, the health system is able to comport this. Also the public system offers expensive medication, and birth control methods, for poor people, who don’t have money to buy it. Any time you can use the public system, and the best part you don’t have to pay for anything. If a sick person needs be at the hospital for a few days, this isn’t coast anything as well. However if the person prefers, they can have insurance, and choose the best place to be treated, and also choose nice rooms at the hospital, or their favorite doctors.
The insurance in Brazil, covers anything, and isn’t expensive as here. Also, if you are an employee, you can have it for cheaper then usually, and the same happens for dental insurance.

Health System.

My friend’s dad has been at the hospital since last Friday. He has heart problems and it got really serious after Friday afternoon. He is an American citizen and also he is over the age where Americans has Medicare from the government. He has been treated and tomorrow is going to do the exam where they insert the stuff in his shanks and goes to his hearts. The problem is…why are the professionals from the hospital waiting since Friday to do this exam? How the health system can afford pay the bill for all these days that he is being treated? Where is the money coming from? The answer is, from the citizens who pay huge amount of taxes, from the international students who pay almost three times more for the same education as an American can have. The health system in the United States needs urgent changes in the policy. On next post I’m going to write about the health system in my country, and I believe there works better then here, for many reason.
