Rui

How can I describe myself? Well. I am 29 years old. I was born and raised in Lisbon. About three years ago I moved to Ramada, just outside Lisbon. Some of my hobbies are: going to the cinema, watching TV, swimming ( at least once a week), hang out with friends, and ballroom dancing classes, twice a week. I also work at the Portuguese Blood Institute which is in the health park in Alvalade. I don´t work there everyday. Most of the times, I have to go and work outside the Institute and I have to travel far away from Lisbon. I work most of the weekends and holidays, and Ihave to get up very early. My job is to organize blood collections outside the Institute. I organize blood collections in schools, companies, institutes, and universities. I work with lots of students. I am also responsible for organizing the blood collection that is held in our faculty. I´ve been doing it for about 4 years now. The next one is going to be on the 26th October, from 9 am to 7 pm in the 7th floor. I love my work. I consider myself lucky for beeing able to do a thing that I like. In someway it is very rewarding becauseIsense that I am helping people. I consider myself to be a happy person, and a positive one. I like good challenges. In a way the course of translation is going to be a challenge for me. The reason I applied for this course was because for me this was the right moment to take a degree, andIalways liked the career posssibilities that a translation course might give us. It can also be a second job for me.I´m liking the course so far. It´s a little stressful but I´ll manage ( I hope :-))) ) I wish you a nice weekend, and I´m looking forward to seeing the blog running. Goodbye
