Dear Reader,
I had returned from skating in the afternoon when Maggie called me and asked whether I was in the mood for going with her and with one of her friends to the cinema in Springfield. We saw the new film of Hilary Swank, Amelia.
Sunday I was in the Hult Center at a concert of the Oregon Mozart Players. The performance’s title was South of the Border, and the repertoire were set up from symphonies of contemporary Mexican, Brazilian and Argentinean composers.
On Tuesday I got up early in the morning, because I went with Jen and Cassie to Salem to a public hearing of a bill. On the way Jen was talking about the grounds of Oregon’s legislative process and about the bill, which would allow individuals to put solar panels on their roofs, generate electricity and sell it to the local utility at a fair price.
The hearing took two hours from 8:00 am. According to the committee’s agenda some other measures had been introduced and referred until the public hearing of the mentioned bill began. I was listening to all the testimonies, but sometimes it was not too easy to understand everything. We arrived in Eugene 30 minutes before my class, so I had to hurry to the university.
I have English classes from 10:00 (or 11:00) am until 16:50 (or 17:30) pm with a break in early afternoon, that’s why weekday evenings I rarely attend facultative programs. This week I also chose elective classes (academic vocabulary), thus I will have plus three lessons.
Wednesday morning I met Mark and Meche again. This meeting became a weekly discussion which aims to strengthen scientific arguments of our cases. That morning we were talking about the harmful effects of noise.
To discover the countryside of Eugene, Cassie, her friend and ex-roommate (whose name – I am sorry! - I cannot spell) and me were hiking today (Saturday) morning in the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum near to Springfield.
I uploaded some pictures to illustrate my blog, hopefully the homepage I have chosen to publish my photos will be available:
