Nao escrevi muito e’ verdade… Culpa nao totalmente minha: O ano, embora o mais comprido da minha vida, precipitou-se num abrir e fechar de olhos. Sim, o Pearson e’ o lugar para todos os paradoxos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Pearson Experience”, “International Understanding”, “Environmental Awareness”, “Peace’, “International Baccalaureate”… Tantas palavras e todas de grande complexidade. Mas qual o significado? Qual o impacto? Valeu a pena?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Pearson Experience” e’ incontornavel. Este aspecto, nao querendo ser lamechas, pelo contrario, e’ o mais espantoso. Conhecer estas pessoas mudou tudo. Mais do que tudo deu-me a bagagem para construir o que chamaria de uma “visao”: uma forma muito intima e certamente muito parcial de ler noticias, de ouvir pessoas, e de projectar o futuro; and YOU, my Dear. You were the sunshine, the moonlight, the exotic flavours, the “dazzling lights”, the adventure, the challenge, the sin and the redemption – You were all that gives existence its full meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“International Understanding”. O termo e’ bastante pomposo para definir a teia de relacoes que subtilmente o lugar vai tecendo entre nos e que nos condiciona a respeitar e aceitar. Por mais que se seja “Open Minded”, viver no campus ha de mostrar o contrario. “Open mindeness” esta para alem dos limites que se aprendem em casa... E’ viver para crer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Environmental Awareness”. No Canada e no Pearson em particular, a preocupacao com o ambiente e’ bastante mais real do que em Lisboa. (Fenomeno interessante conciderando que a floresta e os recursos naturais de Portugal sao bastante bastante mais escassos que os do Canada). Nas escolas portugueses o ambiente e’ uma piada... Vamos ver quem sera o ultimo a rir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Peace”. A pergunta sem resposta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E finalmente, o I.B....! E’ intenso e diferente. Abre portas mas fecha portas. Melhor? Aprendi muito mais nestes que em quasiquer dois anos em casa...Contudo 2 anos e’ pouco para completar um programa de 3 anos. Talvez fazendo parte do curriculum que precede os anos de diploma seja a solucao. Ainda assim, e’ sem duvida uma ferramente para continuar com mais facilidade uma educacao internacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos os caminhos sao caminhos e este nao e’ particularmente grandioso, e’ apenas mais um.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15636105-114774815692416172?l=canadajourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://canadajourney.blogspot.com/feeds/114774815692416172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15636105&amp;postID=114774815692416172' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15636105/posts/default/114774815692416172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15636105/posts/default/114774815692416172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://canadajourney.blogspot.com/2006/05/finale.html' title='FINALE'/><author><name>Sara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13538228727667506433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636105.post-113898875547731806</id><published>2006-02-03T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-03T09:53:07.130-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wish wash wish wash wish wash wish...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/172/4475/320/homeless.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/172/4475/320/homeless.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sailing the Homeless - Outside Pedder Bay (Pearson College)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/172/4475/320/homeless-homebound.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/172/4475/320/homeless-homebound.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sailing the Homeless 2 - Outside Pedder Bay (Pearson College)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15636105-113898875547731806?l=canadajourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://canadajourney.blogspot.com/feeds/113898875547731806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15636105&amp;postID=113898875547731806' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15636105/posts/default/113898875547731806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15636105/posts/default/113898875547731806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://canadajourney.blogspot.com/2006/02/wish-wash-wish-wash-wish-wash-wish.html' title='Wish wash wish wash wish wash wish...'/><author><name>Sara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13538228727667506433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636105.post-113833565774629815</id><published>2006-01-26T19:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-26T20:20:57.833-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Paz efemera</title><content type='html'>Everything is so still that I can hardly believe it. The sea stands alone in its stubborn turbulence (which we challenge all the same, hovering on the Homeless).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s a lot of work, that’s for sure: English written task, next test period approaching, stupid labs, big decisions to make and the countdown to the horrific IBs… Still, everything is being sorted out very nicely.

Mas a Caryn é um pouco louca (ela tem a parte do quarto que lhe pertence cheia de recortes de hot guys... além de um poster onde se pode medir o tamanho dos seios...). O meu quarto é muito animado quando elas estão por lá. Somos todas muito visitadas e dá para uma pessoa se sentir bastante amada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infelizmente ontem os primeiros anos foram acampar... Action week...

Ainda em Lisboa, descobri uma clausula no meu passaporte que diz "this does not allow re-entry"; depois, os ecras do aeroporto fizeram-me correr para a porta de embarque e por fim ficaram-me com os chouricos no aeroporto de vancouver. Bom... Pelo menos nao houve crise nenhuma a passar fronteiras.&lt;br /&gt;Conheci um tipo Chileno (na casa dos 50). Encontramo-nos no aeroporto, ao chegar. Ele tambem ia para Victoria e portanto dividimos o taxi e fomos juntos no ferry. Foi muito simpatico: carregou as minhas malas por todo o lado e ofereceu-me uma sandes. Fiquei com o contacto dele just in case i need something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Pearson esta um espanto, como sempre. Mas sente-se o grande vazio deixado por todos os que ja ca nao estao... Rita, Kia, Natalie, Randell... Michelle and Ian...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passamos o dia em reunioes e leadership workshops. Foi ok, interessante. Mas este jetlag mata-me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os novos housefellows sao novos e energeticos. A Liz parece ter a nossa idade. O Roger parece o Hunter. A house meeting foi fixe, embora faca muita falta a presenca e o humor da Michelle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sempre fiquei com a Swellen no quarto! E o Joel esta logo ali no piso de cima! (By the way, acho que ele nao gosta assim muito de ser Japanite). Foi lindo reencontrar toda a gente!!
