If you've been following my words, thanks a lot. I really appreciated writing Historias da Lawrence University and I definitely learned a lot. Now let me introduce you to my new blog: Rebecca Carvalho. I hope I'll see you there.

Capitulo 36 -- ...and I am so busy this year!


Dear friends, how are you? I am sorry it's been a while since my last post, but it is my Senior year at Lawrence University and that literally means that my life is... crazy! I see lots of homework assignments piling up every day and on top of that I am juggling with both the writing of my last novel and my honors project on alternative journalism.

I had to find time, though, to say how I am doing and to hear from you. In general I think I am fine and I am positive I will survive this academic year. I can't wait to be done with school and the very nature of being stressfully busy means that time is flying! It is already October! Very soon Christmas will be here and then, when I least expect, it will be warm again and time to wear a graduation gown.

The sad part, though, is that I find myself being recently somewhat detached from society. When I am not working, I'm in my room writing as much as I can and trying to catch up with my reading. It's been somewhat lonely, but thanks to my boyfriend I've got a few precious opportunities to hang out and see that there's a world out there. I have to make sure I don't end up neglecting the friend I've made here -- I am not sure they need me, but I do need them!

That's all I have to say for now... and, Jeez, it is already late. I should probably start getting ready to go to bed. Tomorrow I've got lots to do! See you soon -- hopefully -- and don't let school take over your life, OK?. I'm looking forward to my Winter break and by then, who knows, I'll be a lot closer to making my dream of becoming a published author come true. Fingers crossed!
