Meanwhile..

It's been a long while but I've finished my bachelor's degree. It pleases me to say I was the best student in my class with an average of 15 out of 20 and the first to have completed this phase.

I recognize it could have been a lot better but I also have to admit I didn't make my best during these 3 years.

Fortunately for me I believe I have gathered some knowledge of the economic world and the desire I had before - knowing how things work - regarding the mechanisms of everything are now less blur.

What follows? I've been accepted in a master's degree of Monetary and Financial Economics in a nice University nearby and during the next two years I have to - really - do my best.

Still uncertain about what the future will be like but I have my own goals to try to achieve.

Will I achieve them? I'm 100% sure I will do my best, at the very least!

Myself

Hello.

My name is Fábio Pinto and I'm 24 years old. I currently reside in Cascais, Portugal. For those who don't know Cascais, it's a beautiful village near the capital city, Lisbon.

I haven't travelled much in my life, I hope to do so in the future but I like living here. It can be a quite peaceful environment but still with many people on the streets, malls and beaches during the summer season. It's a very nice place to visit if you're planning on coming to Portugal.

I'm studying Economics at the moment, in Universidade Lusíada, in Lisbon and I'm enjoying it quite a while. Too bad it's a private institution, because every month I'm paying a little fortune to keep myself closer to my dream of becoming a successful person (and closer to being broke as well).

I don't want to be successful only in my professional career. I want to be successful on everything. I want to have a family, be healthy, enjoy life but in order to do so I must work towards that goal. Nothing comes easy in this life and I'm not hoping this will be any different.

So far, I think I'm doing a good job, but I know I have potential and will try to be the best!

I love playing football (even though I'm a lousy player, I enjoy it so much), I love cats and other felines (I have one awesome and beautiful siamese cat named Nemesis), Fortunately I've been around very nice people and it makes me glad.

I can be stubborn at times, I can be joyful, I can be boring and annoying, I can be responsible and a whole lot of other qualities and flaws every human has, so that makes me a normal person, I guess.
