India

I've always wanted to go India. I think it's the most beautiful place in this world. Although, I must recognize that today, the ideas associated with this country are the child famine, the VIH, poor distribution of wealth and the growing empire of technology. But, I'm talking of another India. My India begins in my childhood, when secretly I read Arabian Nights, full version. It has scenes about wonderful landscapes when the caravans were able to leave the desert. There were luscious fruits, delicious delicacies and very special women.
Then, in my adolescence India was a place where had been planned the noblest of religions, Hinduism. Searching in the human task, looking the things that really exist and we used to ignore. There are images in my mind, of a rest in a thick vegetation, with incense-scented, sweaty skin and flies everywhere. I think there must be many kind of teas and that the odors of their boils permeate places.
If I go to India, I would not return. I would be isolated in a monastery and live this culture for ever.

Schadenfreude



If you think about some TV series whose plot are doctors or lawyers, there must be a time when the medicine cases or law cases are exhausted and the plot of the TV series is heading for the private lives of the characters or a kind of philosophy of human behavior. I prefer the second option. For example, "Doctor House" was a very popular TV serie meanwhile its protagonist was a surly old man, who had not life of his own. It was very exciting seen how Dr. House used to destroy the life of his patients, from the premise "Everybody lies". Of course, one would say the whole truth of its most   shameful things if you are about to die by hiding them.

By the other hand, I really enjoy TV series about law firms with political intrigues, like Boston Legal or The Good Wife. Human behavior facing morals complexities, it’s fascinating. I always remember a chapter of the serie Boston Legal, which developed the theme about the Schadenfreude. It’s a German word that means, the feeling of joy to other's suffering. I never believed before that when one laughs at the misfortune of someone is by, one has chosen the right path. It’s a feeling that arises from natural selection.

New and Strange Semester


Hello. It is a relief to have English classes, even in midsummer. Of course go to classes with precious days knowing that I could be on the beach partying is a sacrifice, but I need to enlarge my curriculum. And I should be happy becasue my faculty almost didn't give me this class.

In addition, all national politics, the student strike has merit on its own, and I must live up to my ideals. That is to say, if I have political opinion, I must be up to them and not be miserable for my own convenience, what would be if I vote against students strike. The other hand, I must be picky about my aspirations and I set out from last year, learn English. Therefore, the consequence is that I have to attend classes in summer by my own principles.

In general, I actually do a full semester, so I have six subjects of the law career. I am also swimming in the selection of my faculty. It takes me a lot of time of training.
Regards.
