My day Today I was supposed to wake up at 6:50 but I couldn't because I was too tired. Actually I was tired and feeling too lazy. So I woke up at 7 o'clock, had breakfast, took a shower, dressed I went to the bus stop. I had to take a ticket to ride the bus until the train station. Then I took the train and got off at the airport station. After that I took another bus until Av. Ipiranga and finally took other bus until my destination, the Federal Police station. I went to the Federal Police station not because I'm in trouble with the police but because I needed to take my passport. It's been two weeks since my passport is ready, but just today I had the time to take it. At the police station it took about 20 minutes until they had called my name and I could have my passport. After that I went on foot to the nearest bus stop and took the bus until the railway station, went to São Leopoldo by train and finally got to work by bus. Oh, before start working I had lunch. I was really hungry.

What happened today Today the things were pretty calm at my job, nothing special happened. So about my english studies, I have setted up a study planning as follows: - 1 hour of listenning per day (ESL Podcast); - write a text (preferable a diary) to post on Italki; - talk to an american weekly to improve my conversation habilities. I intend to follow this planning for a week and after that check out if this planning improved my english skills. By the way, anyone out there would talk a few minutes with me someday this week?

Dreams... Today was a kind of depressive day. After a few days of studying English in a hardly way I realized that I will not going to master this language soon enough. I said soon enough because I had a plan. A plan that isn't going to come true if the things stay as they are. Why am I saying that? Well, after a bit of grumbling I know the reader deserve an explanation. I'm a 26 old developer-guy trying to desperately take a trip to USA. I have a job but I feel something missing in my life. The last 4 years of my life were dedicated to the university and I'm proud of it. Actually, I was awarded with 2 prizes in my graduation: distinguished student and best final work. So, as I was saying I have a job. However, I feel underutilized. My job is so easy and I don't feel motivation to go forward. I need a project that makes me feel live. A project that is unique, challenging, exhilarating and that brings me knowledge. I have a great desire to work together with the gurus of my area. At least for a while. An 3 month interview is enough for me. Just to quench my thirst.

My day (diary) Dear diary, Today I woke up ta 07:00 when my cellphone started whistling . I was too lazy to get up so I got a nap until 07:35 am (when my alarm clock started with that annoying noise again). I went to work and another nice day started. After that I went to home, talked to my girlfriend on Skype, studied English and now I'm going to bed. I don't know why, but I'm feeling I must make the most of my time. Bye.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself My name is Fabio and I'm learning english. I have born in a little city at the interior of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. I have born in a little farm of that town. My native language is portuguese but I have learned italian dialect too. My ancestry came from Italy a long time ago. I want learn english because many reasons. First, because I work with IT and I would love to go to conferences around the world attend to presentations. Secondly, because I would love to watch moovies and TV series from USA without needing legends. And finally, because I want travel abroad and make many friends. I enjoy watch moovies, read books, study and go out on the weekend. So I think that is! Thanks!
