Fox: beautiful, astute, fast, elegant, sleek, crafty animal...intelligent and full of tactics to caught a prey Hedgehog: chubby, wanders around for lunch, small, ugly...with only one tactic!! The fox remains silent in one corner, hiding behind a tree, waiting for the hedgehog to approach: 'Aha, got you now!! I am going to eat you!'. The little chubby hedgehog looks up and says 'Hmm...Here we go again, when are you going to learn?' and suddenly reduces himself to a little ball of sharp spikes. Day after day the fox tries one of his tactics to eat the hedgehog. Day after day the one day tactic of the little spiky works. Apparently, there are two kind of people....the hedgehogs and the foxes.

"Communism, aha, sharing it all". Hum... "interesting, but does not work in reality" I think it is this thought that brought me to study Political Science. Is this the origin of my slavophilia!? Maybe. The truth is that lately I have been thinking in which hobbies I have. Some people paint, others sign, others play theatre, some surf, play chess or collect sugar bags from all over the world. I don't do those things, at least not as a hobby (I sign in the shower, I paint flowers on the corners of my notebooks during class, I play the theatre of life and I dont eat sugar but sweetener). What do I do apart from fulfilling my impulsive need to know places, peoples, languages and facts? Nothing. That's my hobby. My paleness makes me think that I might have Siberian ancestry. My psycho is oftentimes more Russian than Mediterranean. What's wrong with me? Where does it come all this slavicness? No idea yet, but I love it. I get emotional with music, films, books...

Nothing more, nothing less. My friend E. just called with good news that warmed me up. Her wedding.

In a period of a month I have witnessed how my friends or relatives brought to the world 5 little creatures. Hector, Tristan and Gerard are already here. 2 more (second cousins) will come by August. Rosa's baby, Violetinha, soon will take a plane and visit me in Boston! (well, first she needs to start walking) I also have a couple of weddings this year. Only 4 years ago nobody invited me to weddings or sent me websites of delightful little babies. ERGO...yeas, I getting old. (at least I can say that I am student ;-P...what is more I can party, live, feel like one!)
