When we arrived at École Polytechnique there were a little bit of snow in the ground of the last week yet and it was pretty cool because I've never seen the snow, so it was really exciting. There are many differences from X and from other Brazilian universities like UNICAMP. I think that one of the biggest differences between the two universities is that since from the very start the french people tell us the honor to study in this university and our responsibilities with the tradition and the name of the school what I think that it is really necessary for new students start to understand what means to be in this university and what they should do to keep the tradition of the school. Other difference is that X is proud of being X like you can see in the following picture that was taken in the main hall
I think that universities in Brazil should have this love and proud for themselves and teach the new students to be proud of the university and keep its traditions.
This week I also saw the 850 years of Notre Dame what was really beautiful and cool because the organ was playing and they played all the bells and sang on Latin so it was really beautiful.
Changing a little bit of subject now I would like to say that I meet new people from other countries like China, India, Vietnam, Chile and Peru and they are really cool and my studies here will be different with different people and it is really exciting.
Well, to finish this post I would like to say that all my effort for being here was worth it and that this university has a really good curriculum and students and I'm glad for studding here.
Now I have to go to the welcome barbecue, a bientôt !
