Well, it's a small city and we were only 4000 people that night. It's a new law on education system, as for university, I totally see there's need of improvements but I don't understand how lowering financial resources could help  the act plans to cut the budgets of university and research and use them as funds to shore up banks and credit institutes.  It also allowed universities to be converted into private foundations to get funds (funny, I thought I was attending a PUBLIC university  ). The rector of our university told during a meeting on Wendsday that, in our case, cutting the budget will mean raising fees of at least 1/3. The act also allows one hiring in five vacant academic positions...my "professor" of Rational Mechanics (he's actually a researchers, although he works AS a professor and BETTER than many professors) will be delighted! I know from experience that, with a government like the one we have now, there's nothing we can do to stop that bill...it's good we're trying anyway! As for elementary school, (I know from what my aunt said me) that bill plans to reintroduce pinafores, cut the budget, of course, and go back to one-teacher class. Now there are three teachers in two classes, that begun the year I started elementary school, I used to have three teachers (four with the teachers aid, because there was a child with Down's syndrome in my class). I've also heard they want to make classes for foreigners children only, it's a very unclear point...I don't know if they're supposed to help children learning Italian and, if necessary, catching up with a different school program...or if they're intended to separate children (a scaring idea, I think). Sadly I'm afraid that this law will pass ...but we're protesting in my town and in my university as well, we have to try at least! ...that's makes me so sad I agree, we definitely have to try! |

I just made bread. It's too hot to eat yet, so I'm just impatiently waiting and trying to work on my history assignement, when all I wanna do is eat and read Wuthering Heights. Aaanyways, when I'm done eating, I'll have to spend Saturday night writing... and doing laundry. |

oh, that is really nice Lu! I should be calling a journalist and ask them some questions, but I am SO not in the mood! I don't feel like calling some random journalist and bother them with some stupid questions.. bleh.. so I think I might skip this one... I'll feel bad about it probably.. but Aargh.. so frustrating! |

Today I studied pretty much all day, then went for a long walk by the lake. I'm about to go to bed now as I have a 24 hour take home exam starting tomorrow morning. Ugh! |
