Excerpts from
All I Can Do Is Write About It,
by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Did you ever see she-gator protect her young,
or a fish in a river, swimming free?

Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina,
or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee?

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowing?
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog?

Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air you’re breathing?

If we think of the Spirit as software and the Body as hardware,
it’s clear in Spiritism that God makes portable software.

The last weeks as an undergraduate student have been really hard-working.

• My final paper took plenty of time to accomplish;
  Say June, 9am to 9pm, weekends included.
• Put it together with an admission exam for the master’s degree program, scheduled between final paper’s deadline and it’s presentation date;
  Some study at one or two nights.
• After presentation, suggestions and corrections came up;
  Give it one more week and weekend.
• Then, last item, internship report;
  Another week (and weekend, of course).

You may notice it was somewhat tiring.
But far from a complaint, I was very happy with (and finishing) all that work.

Me, presenting my final paper.

Most of the time, things were fun.
I love what I do, and I’m circled of good people.
To work hard on something like that was a real gift. I learned so much.

I learned some lessons, from hard work and people involved:

• Continous effort makes things happen;
• Although rushes of solutions often come when you are relaxed.
• Some people will always help you, despite how busy they are;
  There you know those who care about you and your work.
  Thank you Enzo, Thaty and Edmilson — friends and teachers.

Me and Enzo (my advisor)

• You should have fun every now and then;
  People must relax, laugh and get together.
  Thank you John, Walbon, Yudi & Piru — fraternity members and holy friends.
  Thank you Arsinoé & Douglas — for all the rapport, laughing and life talking.

Friends: Arsinoé, Me, John, Douglas & Yudi

• Care about those who care about you;
  Respecting your own priorities and schedule.
  Thank you Rogério, Juraci, Vinícius, Marina & Simba — my family, I owe you so much.
  Thank you Bruna — you’re an amazing girl. I’m glad to know you.
  Thank you Juuh — for being so friendly and keeping my gloves and kisses.

Grandma, Me, Mom, dear Brother, Grandpa

For all those who missed me in this while,
Thanks for your comprehension and good wishes.
Be sure I missed to spend time with you; we’ll get together.

Now I’m close to becoming a computer engineer,
Finishing a 4-and-a-half-year period of good living and learning.

–
This was college. ;-)
Good living, good learning: befriended.

Hi =)

It’s nice to be around again.
After a while of work on my graduation from college, I’m back on blogging.

Things will be different this time.
Jokes are fine, but I’ve got more than those to tell you of.

Knowledge, wisdom.. fun stuff too, after all.
Those things are what I’m in Earth for; things I endeavour to share.

I would like to say thanks.
You make it possible.

Thanks,
Maurício =)
