Hey, what's up, guys?
Greetings to everyone!
Today, Friday, I had to attend my class because, as I mentioned before, I'm taking a course—pardon the repetition—on hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons.
That’s right, guys—as you just read, I’m studying hydrocarbons, and today was the final class of Module 3. We’re really stepping up the difficulty now, since we’re starting with some math problems that used to be simple or that we learned in school, but which we’ve obviously forgotten due to a lack of practice and consistency. It’s something we have to learn all over again, and honestly, sometimes there are problems that are actually pretty tough .
That’s why there’s nothing to fear; I’m very happy to continue taking this course and with the progress I’ve made, both personally and as part of the group, since here we’ve formed groups of people with whom we carry out various group activities related to the subject we’re studying.
These facilities are in a somewhat old building, yet they’re in very good condition, although power outages leave us in the dark.
I think that, in general, power rationing is being fully implemented throughout Venezuela, which has caused widespread discontent among the population, since this affects the daily lives of each of us, but even more so for merchants and workers—those entrepreneurs who run businesses, such as copy shops or ice cream vendors—for whom it has become extremely difficult to carry out their work due to these blackouts.
I know that right now I don’t have a stable job and that I struggle daily just to eat, but I can also put myself in the shoes of these people whose only livelihood comes from these small businesses and ventures. When they can’t work, it’s impossible to make a profit, and without a profit, it’s impossible to feed a family. This is something we shouldn’t overlook and something we must take into account, because we are all human.
