A hectic Wednesday

Hello dear all! How was your day?

The day has passed very fast! When I looked at the clock it was 5.00pm.
The company that I work is implementing a new line production, therefore I have to collect samples and analyse them in intervals of 30 minutes, and of course, apart from that I have to cope with my day by day tasks.

Anyway, here I am again, and when I opened the student blog page I had in front of my eyes the delightful post of Anita to read :-). Wow! I love books. Moreover, I´m a bookworm indeed. Last Sunday, after the movie I went to visit the bookstore in São Paulo that I buy books on the Internet. Oh boy, I was in heaven :-). The virtual bookstore is great, but it´s by far better you go there and browse the shelves, touch the books and feel their smell. I love the smell of new books :-).

Nowadays I´m reading books only in English, because reading it´s also important for the FCE exam. Just like Anita, I´ve start reading rewritten books for English learners, and now I´m reading the original versions, written in English. In the beggining I couldn´t understand much, but I kept trying. My dream was to read the Jane Austen and Charles Dickens novels in English, and I´ve fulfiled this dream. If you like reading, I highly recommend you give a shot and reading a book in English. Believe me, you won´t regret :-).

In answer to your question Anita, I´ve just started reading I Am The Messeger written by an Aussie author called Markus Susak. I became a fan of his after reading The Book Thief ( a great book!). I Am The Messenger has words that I haven´t heard before, therefore I enjoy reading it very much :-).

Naheed! I do all the poses you´ve showed us in my BodyBalance classes. One of my favourites is the warrior pose II. Here we call this pose 'guerreiro do sol' ( sun warrior). Anyway, nice to hear more of the yoga benefits. :-)

Hi James. So you´ve tried to learn Japanese. It´s a difficult language, isn´t it? I´ve read your report. It´s very interesting.

Well, I´m off for today.

All the best,

Ana Paula.
