			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="en">Remember when I mentioned the <a href="http://doce.ginpu.us/lang/en/2012/01/09/pl118">PL118</a>? Well, it&#8217;s still alive and kicking, but now we&#8217;re getting brand new declarations! Yees, somebody decided all the fuzz on the internets is nothing but whining from people who just can&#8217;t understand how hard it is to be an author in this world filled with content sharing.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">As far as I&#8217;m concerned, nothing againts authors. I don&#8217;t care if they&#8217;re doing well or not, although I hope they&#8217;re fine. What I don&#8217;t understand, rather, what I can&#8217;t handle is that some <i>white knights</i> come to my house (figuratively, ofc) stating that the author&#8217;s rights need to be protected and the only way for that to happen is to interfere with my individual rights and with what I do in my home&#8217;s privacy. Collecting taxes from a crime I did not perform. It doens&#8217;t solve the matter at all and, frankly, I think it will only make it worse. But these <i>white knights</i>, who have no idea how privacy works, feel like they know best.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">And by the way, that little tax thing? I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s small or bearable; one cent is already too much to pay for a crime I didn&#8217;t commit.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="en">Yesterday wasn&#8217;t a fine day for science, as far as I can tell.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">For the first time in some months, my whrist decided to complain. So, right away, I put my band(age) on and went on living with slightly stiff movements as I studied for my last exam this season.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">And I studied a lot, so I was feeling pretty confident. I had a broad understanding of the concepts and I had solved the previous&#8217; years exams pretty well. Yesterday&#8217;s exam couldn&#8217;t be all that different.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">The thing is, it as. This is a problem because the course&#8217;s contents are so large it is almost impossible to study the whole thing through, especially if one is thinking about retaining the knowledge. I had to look at the previous&#8217; years exames for some guidance; considering they were all pretty similar, I could only <i>safely</i> assume this one would foccus on the same parts of the contents. Maybe I shouldn&#8217;t have been so confident about being able to solve those old exams. But they were my only guidance after all.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">I only needed to read the exam once to know things weren&#8217;t going to end up good. I read the questions thinking to myself &#8220;well, I sure can&#8217;t answer that one, I only know half of this, I have no idea about this thing here and I shouldn&#8217;t even try on that one&#8230;&#8221; Who hasn&#8217;t done that at least once?</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Even throwing a few questions to the &#8220;I give up&#8221; can, I still have a lot to answer to. And the answers were pretty extensive as well, but at least I could try to come up with something. And so I gave them a try. About halfway through I notice my hand wasn&#8217;t enjoying the task and I eventually had to stop writting because I just couldn&#8217;t do it anymoe. Taking rests every now and then and trying to write a little further afterwards.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">After some time, I realised there was no point in trying any further and delivered the papers so I could go home. All that&#8217;s well ends well, right? Not so right by thr time I got to the train station.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">I arrived just in time to see my sister&#8217;s car getting hit.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">If it was grave? Oh no, no. She only got the car&#8217;s door scratched. But still, enough to get the insurance into the bussiness, that&#8217;s a given. And I had to wait until she called our parents, then until they arrived (because they always take long to arrive to the station, even though we don&#8217;t live that far from it) and then more time to stand them talking to the other car&#8217;s owners. Through all of this, I could only selfishly think about how hungry I was (dinner time, anyone?) and how my hand was in pain. The only thing I wanted was to go home, have some foods and crash on my bed. But then I had to listen to my sister telling me everything about the frikken incident I actually had seen because, well, I was there.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Time for a note: by the time I got home, there was no dinner. Good thing How I met Your Mother was on TV, or my moods would&#8217;ve been on negative degrees.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">I guess this season will have to go for the <i>best</i> group by now. It&#8217;s just like everyday has something new waiting for me.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">On the other hand, you could go and say how selfish I&#8217;m being by complaining about these small problems of mine, or about making it all a big deal. Let me tell you, I&#8217;ve made bigger deals of smallers things (not that I&#8217;m proud, though). I&#8217;ll just let you know the little disclaimer, I do take somethings seriously.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Now I&#8217;ll have to deal with the Cable TV problem, which is, on itself, a whole &#8216;nother story.</span></p>
