NOTHING BUT THE DOCTOR

NOTHING BUT THE DOCTOR

Now is 16:36 pm. I just read 30 pages of the book "Nada" by Carmen Laforet. This book is horrible, with all my respect Carmen chose a bad topic and unpleasant way to write (too complicated). But surely this book had made me write in this blog.

 
The protagonist of the book is a girl "Andrea" that is in Barcelona to study philosophy and philology. What she finds in Barcelona is not pretty: some crazy relatives and a pitiful city. It is curious that the government make us read this book: it is discouraging me. Maybe is not profitable to pay out the university to young people so the government is trying to cut costs.

Hence little longer I'll be in college and I do not know how the university is. I want to study far away but I'm afraid not find anyone or to have nostalgia. 18 years are not enough to go quietly home.

 
I imagined a thousand times when I would go to college and, of course, I always imagined college as "paradise." But, what would happen if it is not a paradise?

If I have something very clear is that be a university student will change my life: I will go out more often… Maybe I will do things that I never imagined... I’m afraid that being in a city and be 100% free, can make me lose control and leave out important things. I hate studying and therefore I fear that if anyone forces me to study, I would not consider. I say all this because I heard that the university professors do not look if you've done your homework, do not make individualized tutoring...

I guess everyone in the class is a bit anxious (like me) but I also see that most people have a very rigorous method, most people study hard and do not need any kind of "control."

On the other hand I must say that I’m fascinated for study what makes me excited (Biology). Thing that I won’t study math and physics is rewarding but ... what about philosophy and history ... I cannot believe that I’m scared to lose subjects. Is it real?

If I learned one thing doing the exams to get the A1 license, is that all the things I like never suppose me an effort (even the opposite).

Well, I guess I made it clear that I was born in 1993. How can I believe that the screen is a psychologist or a priest willing to listen to me? Well, maybe I will go crazy if I continue thinking about such nonsense. In addition, in short time the “selectivitat” will arrive and it’s necessary to possess a clear head to get good grade.

IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE OPTOMETRIST.

IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE OPTOMETRIST.

Already a few weeks ago, North Africa is experiencing an historic moment. I think it is a good time to think about the African question…

Often I find people (nasty) that criticizes Moroccans and often their comments have no quality "people from Morocco is invading our country" or "all Muslims are terrorists" ... Let us with Libya: If one thing I liked about Gaddaffi (Libyan dictator) is that he put the blame, about the revolt, on Al-quaeda .In fact, even the dictator has detracted the terrorist group to attract supporters. Although for anyone who lives in Libya it would seem a reasonable electoral method, there are many people here that still believes that all Arabs want “Westerners” to die.

On the other hand I like to emphasize how the Arab world is connected. The revolt in Tunisia destroyed the dictatorship and then the same thing happened in Egypt, Libya has started now and we can see some movement in Morocco. I wonder what would happen if there was any revolution in Italy, it would come to Spain with the same speed...? Maybe Europe should inspire his project looking at North Africa.

I really like to think that Islam is wishing a change. In fact, I not only like it but wish (and want) it because I think if the rebellion triumphs Spain would be a better place to live and it would make possible that the stupid people (like Josep Anglada) lose their irrational reasons to justify a xenophobe policy.

I must say that Spain has many Arab roots so we should be interested in our neighbors to come into democracy. And, I have no doubt that (religion aside) I feel as close to North Africa than, for example, in English culture.

 
I hope that Europe, one day, will set aside oil’s preoccupations and will be decided to help the rebellion. In the same way, I wish Spanish people to be astonished because this demonstration of courage, desire for change and freedom that our neighbors had showed us. I say this because I don’t want nobody to comment the rebellion as Bisbal did ... In short, it's a good time to look at Islam through different eyes and change, a little, our distorted view.
