Today we joined in order to celebrate Bia's and Paulo's achievements: their doctoral titles.
It was celebrated at Fazenda Ipanema, a very calm and beautiful place, where children can play, we can rest and find some peace having our friends as company.
It was a very special moment, kind of magical, which we could enjoy together, talk to very gentle and intelligent people, and laugh a lot, which was what some of us needed, in order to relieve all the tension of these last days.
It was an opportunity to straiten the ties of friendship betweeen people who sometimes don't have time to know each other, and to change the idea that sometimes we make about them.
The barbecue was excellent, Bia's children ( how cute they are) and her supportive husband Claudio, Paulo and his friendly and pretty mother, and brother, sister, niece and nephews, all of them, plus all of us (their students), turned it in a very special day, to be remembered forever.

Dr.Beatriz Gama Rodrigues' defense
Last time I talked to you, my reader (which means, myself, at least), I told you about Paulo Edson's Doctoral thesis defense.
At this moment, full of joy, I turn here to talk about the same topic. But, this time to talk about Bia's.
If I mentioned all the excitement I felt at that occasion, you can triple it. It was wonderful to see our beloved teacher talking with all the passion that we know she has, and defending her ideas in front of a group of people who were there looking for any fault she could have had.
There was nothing they could consider as a point to be rethought. Only some adjustment, normal in a work like this.
On the contrary, they complimented her, for her effort in order to make it come true, in this little period of time.
It was really moving the moment that Dr.Cellani commented all the pressure Bia was constantly submitted (thing that all of us knew about), and the surprise and joyment they felt when they eventually had the thesis on their hands, and could admire the quality and recognize that she really overcome all the problems.
We know exactly (it's a lie, only you know...never mind...) what you passed throught.
But even considering that you, Bia, are not entirely conscious of what happened (at least, not today), tomorrow the day will be different for you, with a different bright, and full of new opportunities.
Be sure we're very proud of you, and please, don't consider the idea of changing the way you are.
Tomorrow we'll be together in order to celebrate these two especial achievements.
So, again, congratulations on both of you, Bia and Paulo!!!
See you tomorrow.

Congratulations Dr.Paulo Edson Alves
Yesterday I went to USP with Bia and other students from fifth semester, in order to see Paulo
Edson's doctoral thesis defense and I have to admit, it was very exciting!!
Of course who knows Paulo Edson with his unease, would find it a little bit strange to see him there, sit and answering the questions asked by the examinators, who looked like pop stars with all the lights on them.I don't think they were too much cruel to him. It must be because the research is very well based and written. For sure, it'll be better after the changes recommended by the examinators, in order to be published.
Paula was there and sent hugs and kisses to all of us, and she said she misses us, and I think she was being sincere. She remembers us and mentions curious facts related to us. She is really impressive. She was one of the gods and goddesses who evaluated Paulo's thesis. It's true!! It looks like they are in the Olympus and the others are ordinary, mortal people.
But, what is really important is that Paulo overcame the most difficult part in his career, and is ready to enjoy the glory he finally achieved. He deserves it .
Good luck for him!!!
Now, talking about doctoral thesis defense, Bia is the next.
I'm sure she is going to do very well, she is very well prepared, and there is nothing to worry about, isn't it true, Bia?
Bia, please, don't worry about the "bonfire of vanity"!! Keep your focus, go there and do what you know you are very good at. We are all supporting you, and cheering wildly.
We'll be there, with you, as we know that you are always there for us. Count on us, ok!!!
