In PAE we were looking for bugs around school, when I was walking back to class I went past Henrique and Riba, who tripped me. In Science I was drawing but even then I got 1 point answering a question. The History teacher booked a test for Thursday. During the break we stayed at our usual place. When I was walking back Riba hit me with his shoulder and I turned around quickly and stuck my foot out to trip him, and he did nearly fall! Portuguese class was the usual. During free period Natacha and I just left as I wanted to revise for the English test this afternoon.
Got a lift to English with Lu. Just to give an idea what estate the world is in: In Lebanon 4 car bombs exploded in 3 days. One on Saturday, two on Monday and one today. This killed 132 people and injured 300. Worse still, in South Africa, the land of prejudice, where, for the last month the police and the black people are fighting almost daily, where lots of people die. And then during the burials, more conflict, more deaths. The discrimination in there is so awful and disgusting that Brazil is about to cut diplomatic ties with it. The white government made some proposals for change, but no one liked them.
