Exam time

And the time of exams is here again. It is a perfect example of a bitter-sweet feeling: you are happy some of the boring classes are over, but still have to face the challenge of extra studying and preparation. Probably the stupidest exam is waiting for me on Tuesday: International Public Law . . . in Spanish! It would not be that bad, because Law always fascinates and challenges me to grow with every page I read, but this ...

what I have to learn is just plain unreal stuff: when you are reading about the responsibility of countries to protect the environment and all the law/agreements that exist and afterwards you read a news article on the pollution, or less on all those useless conferences on environment in those exotic places . . . you almost give up and see no reason to continue reading the chapter. I felt the same way while reading the chapter on the development. When I got to the word "redistribution of wealth" I closed the book.

Oh, well. So I guess my first year uni professors were right, when they used to say that as long as we are young we have to be reading all kinds of theories and ideas. As soon as we form our own opinion, we will disregard all other theories and stick to reading things that we agree with. A bit stubborn, but I see what they had in mind.
May be it is a good thing? I have formed my strong opinion that I am ready to stand for!

P.S. Unrelated:
Donostia - San Sebastian with snow. Yesterday!
