Usually I just bring along my MP4 and listen to music the whole time, but if it's a reaaaaaaaaally long trip I end up reading a little bit. It's not different, though, I just get the book I'm reading at the moment and that's it.

Here in Brazil we have this test called Enem, right, and it's supposed to help you getting into college. But here's the thing: someone stole the test. Oh yeah. Someone
stole the test! I mean, two guys, actually, but c'mon! They simply stole it and then tried to sell it to one of the most famous newspapers of São Paulo. Seriously?! If you're gonna do it, sell it to some student or something like that. Like the paper's gonna buy it and publish it, yeah, right. :)
Anyhoo, now they selected different questions for the test and there'll be a different date, of course. Guess what? They chose December 6th. That's when I have the test to try and get into Cásper Líbero (one of the colleges I wanna get into)! But it's ok, right? Because Cásper changed their test to December 13th.
...Except that December 13th is Ufscar's test, another college I wanna get into. I mean, seriously, God doesn't want me to get into college, is that it? They should freaking cancel Enem. Because USP and Unicamp, two of Brazil's most important colleges are
NOT going to use it! So it's not gonna help at all. And the main purpose of Enem is to help, so if it's not helping...why bother? It's only getting in the way.
Y'know, I'm glad Brazil was chosen to host 2016's Olympics, but let's think about it for a second: they cannot take care of
a pile of paper. Two guys stole it and walked away with the test inside their underwear! How the hell can we possibly host the Olympics? It's just so... frustrating.
