Hi everybody,
I'm Ana Claudia and I'm 21. My course is L.L.C. - English and American studies. I live in the suburbs of Lisbon (near Loures) but I've always studied and worked in Lisbon. I live with my parents, my brother and my two beloved cats. Here you can take a look at one of them. ->
Besides studying I also work part-time at H&M. Tomorrow will be the inventory, which means working till 3 a.m.!

I spend a lot of time reading and am keen on cinema. My favourite author so far is Carson McCullers, I find her work very touching.
I'm also very curious about other cultures. I'm always trying to discover new perspectives and different points of view, but I do think that besides all the differences between cultures there's something in common. Ultimately, that's what makes all of us humans.

As far as cinema is concerned, my tastes are quite extensive. I'm fond of funny kids movies from the 80's (like The Goonies) as equally as more intellectual nouvelle vague movies (like Godard's Contempt). I also like Japanese cinema.

I've got to admit that writing about me and my tastes is not one of my favourite things. So...that's all for now!
See you next monday :)

Ana Claudia
Welcome. Tell us more about your love for Carson McCullers. I do not know any works by this author. Can you help out?

Hope your work at H&M fits your life comfortably. Good to see a working student. It is the real world!
All the best
Allyson
