School starts soon, and I'm taking amazing stuff:
- The Amazon Rain Forest
- Global Sustainable Development
- Intro to Data Analysis

What else am I doing then? Well, I'm working 10 hours a week as an International Section Editor at the leftist school newspaper (The Rearguard), and 10 hours a week as a private Spanish tutor (5 paid, 5 volunteering). I'm going to be very, very busy, and as I already knew that I've taken a lot of pictures to compensate

Other than this, this Summer I've been addicted to documentaries. Is that too weird? Does anyone else have this addiction and want to give me suggestions? I've probably watched 2 to 5 docs a week for like 2 months... and it's time to stop now again. My top 10 picks of the summer:

1. LAST TRAIN HOME (Migration from rural China to find work - AMAZINGLY DONE)



2. HYPE (Seattle music scene in the 90s more well-known as Grunge. I can't recommend this documentary enough)



3. OUR BRAND IS CRISIS (Bolivia's motives for Evo Morales from an American Corp perspective. Probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen)



4. CRUDE (Oil spill on Ecuador's Amazon area)



5. THE PANAMA DECEPTION (1989 US invasion of Panama. Please see this???)



6. IRAQ in fragments (Iraq after the US arrival)



7. THE CORPORATION (just that, everything about it)



8. THE END OF POVERTY? (too broad, but pretty eye-opening for those who've never seen anything like it)



9. THE END OF AMERICA (Oh, Bush. You did a lot to this country)



10. DECLINING BY DEGREES (Frontline special about US higher education today)




I couldn't enjoy watching these enough. I know it's very depressing most of the time, but there are a lot of things to take from this and to do right after you've watched it. I'd love to meet at least one person to discuss about this! ARRR!!!

And as last year, my account expires in less than two weeks, and I can't come back for a while... and maybe I won't at all. I've been for months without posting, but I do absolutely love the conversations that come from these posts... even though I don't look at any of the naked front page anymore, but oh well... we'll see how it goes. I love you all, you miao!!
