Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degrees, cold, sunny, overcast and rainy. I’m trying to get up early here, like in Brazil, but it isn’t easy. At least the last two days, I have slept well. Instead of going out for an early walk and not wanting to get confused by class times clashing with the time differences between England and Brazil, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve spent almost a week in England, including four working days of giving classes here despite the below-zero temperatures outside. Another night of sleeping badly. I think I got up at least 20 times to go to the toilet. For some reason, I couldn’t get off to sleep. I only […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I still struggle to get up as early as I would like. Last night, I didn’t sleep well. I don’t think it was due to the cold since the bed and bedroom are warm before I go to bed. Instead, I believe it stems from anxiety. I’m feeling quite anxious […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is my second day working remotely in England. It is good; there have been no hiccups until now. In the morning, I got up relatively early at about 7:00 a.m. It is not a time to Rio de Janeiro standards at 4:30 or five, but I may get there shortly. As […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is the first working day since arriving in England. I wanted to go for a walk in the morning, but it was raining. The truth is that it has been raining all day- not heavy rain, just a drizzle, which has been just enough to keep me from going out. I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I wanted to get up early, but it was impossible. I think it’s because of the trip, the time difference, and the combination of the cold and the warm bed. I got up at about 8:00 a.m., which is late for me. I had a quick wash, and I was […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. My mother had said the day before that she would like to buy me a coat, an anorak, because of the cold and rain due to the English weather. The idea was to visit the Marks and Spencer store at Merry Hill shopping centre to buy one. Maryhill is situated […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I woke up Saturday morning after a deep sleep. I’m sleeping better here in England than I did in Brazil. Unfortunately, I missed my usual wake-up time, which is, at the latest, 6:00 a.m. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference or simply the accumulated tiredness from […]
Schiphol International Airport, Amsterdam: 9 degrees, slightly sunny and with showers. Birmingham International Airport, England: 7 degrees, cold, overcast with a slight hint of sunshine. Wolverhampton, England: 3 degrees, cold and overcast. Yesterday, I was writing in the waiting room at Rio’s International Airport in Ilha do Governador. I was waiting for my flight to Schiphol International Airport in Amsterdam, […]
Rio de Janeiro: 29 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. The countdown has finished: 0 days. Today, I’m going to England, first to Amsterdam, and then taking a connecting flight to Birmingham. After that, I’ll take a train to Wolverhampton station, where my mother will meet me. I got up early and went to the Portuguese bakery for the last […]
