Day 9 - January 9th

Today I had a good day, I started well. I woke up 6am, eat a papaya and went running. I started my running listening a posdcast which I discovered from the site of my english tutor Kallan. It was about a lot of possibilities to use the word "nerve", there are a lot of expression to use it. 

It was a good day at work also. I like when there are a lot of people in the office, and there is meeting up with all the team. I wish that our manager could do it more frequently... it is the type of action that doesn't cost, doesn't spend much time and keep us more engaged with the team and also is a type of feedback for all the team. Is the time that the manager show us, the employers, what is his priorities which are the priorities of the company. 

I also enjoyed work day because I was trying to solve a structural problem, I like to do it, even I know that I need to be more fast doing it... but is just something I can achieve with practice and focus.

During my free time, at luch time, I had good time with my coworkers, that one who are also my friends, but we also discussed about what makes their nerves out: The future changing in our sector. Currently, our department keeps employers living in Belo Horizonte and others living here in Ipatinga, like me. But our management want to change it because he believes that everyone needs to live here in Ipatinga, where is located the steel plant, and where are the site works. I agree with him but I understand that is difficult to my collegues accept that new situation. Most of them are already married and their wifes have already good jobs in Belo Horizonte or just don't want to live here. After that time with my collegues I could also do some grammatical exercises. Im back to elementar grammar because I'm doing a lot of erros that is accepted just for beginners... So I noticed that I have to practice more. 

I left my work at 5.30pm and came to home, took a shower and started an english informal class at 6pm with a tutor from UK. He is really nice and as always, I've spoken a lot.

After the class I didn't do as I had planned, my planning was start my report for finish my post-graduate. But sure I didn't do it. I keep on the internet and started (again) about the possibilities of my future. I was looking for a master which I would enjoy to do. I discovered one in Australia and another in Netherlands that fits my interesting... but is so much expensive!!! To do it I would spend all the money I have in my life. But why I was looking for that? I need to discover which qualification I have to achieve if I keep a planning do start a master. But I also discovered that I could have another problem: my grades. When I did my graduation, I wasn't worried about that... just want to pass with 60% in some subjects. So my total average is 64%. I think that I have to discard this option to do a Master abroad country. 

When I was having dinner (a stroganoff which I brought frozen when I was in my parent’s home -  the best!) I started to watch the chapter 8 of season 2 from show Reign. But I didn’t finish because my roommate arrived. She arrived today from her trip with her family and we had to talk some time to update each other about everything...

I also answered some emails from workwayers who want to stay in my home in Belo Horizonte. Probably I will host a girl from New Zealand in March... I've never known someone from there.

So, even I was tired, I decided to write my day in English, I'm trying to keep it as an habit.
