$$$$$$$$

You know, I'll just say one thing: Money.

Money buys everything: Better or more teachers, infrastructure improovements, books, computers, microscopes, animals, trees, people, life, happiness, and the list goes on and on.

Even though the environment inside our faculty is really great, like a big family where everyone knows everyone, and the spreading areas include a very large terrain, with trees, grass and everything... we still have some problems:

First, teachers. A classmate talked recently about lack of balance between some departments in this matter: Some areas have a lot of professors, some areas just one or two. So that represents a big'o problem when, for example, we need to study in our Anatomy practices: Coordinator splits time in half for every group, which is not enough sometimes.

Now, infraestructure. The need of building up more places to study, a more comfortable and effective library, bigger indoor entertainment/rest facilities for rainy, cold days, a gym, etc, is urgent if you ask me.

Well.. the gym, the pool, the sportive/relaxing activities will not be fully used if we don't have time.. And there's another obstacle: Curriculum. Ours is getting tighter every year. Sometimes we can't attend to one class, because we are already taking another at the same time.

Let's talk about something I would enjoy a lot: Living inside the university.
It takes me too much time to get there (1,5 hours), and having a dorm room in the faculty would make everything easier: I could use those 3 hours to read or sleep, I wouldn't worry if it gets late when the party (or the reading, of course) turns wild ('cause my bed would be right there), the $400 I spend daily would buy me a snack in the class breaks, or some copies of any paper or whatever.

Anyway, the only way (or the easier) to make this possible would be to have a truck full of green pieces of paper with Benjamin Franklin's face painted over them.
