Assemblies

Well, not everything is mobilizations and hoods and throngs. We also talk and discuss everything all the time in the form of assemblies. The student movement is not homogeneus, there are a lot of different thinkings and idiologies. So we all get together per Schools and decide what we're going to do about a specific matter. Then we take this decision and write a release that we later read to the assembly per Faculties, and in this we take another decision and wrtie another release. This release is read then in the General Assembly of all the students, in which the final decision is taken.

We meet every time something bad happens in the government. So... really often. Last year, in the secon semester, there was a student stike that lasted like two months. So they had to finish that semester this year, while us, the new ones, started our first semester. And when they finished the 2018-2 semester, we were in the middle of the 2019-1 one. When we finished that one, they were in the middle of the 2019-1 for  them. And we had a two-month vacations, and when they finised 2019-1 they had a two-week vacations and we all started 2019-2 together.

And we were supposed to finised 2019-2 on January 2020. But... the government messed up real good and we haven't had class in two weeks because we are in a Permanent Assembly state. Which means no classes, no midterms, no grades, no nothing, except that we still have to go there and attend every single assembly, forum or whatever there is.

The students themselves are the ones that make the other students leave the classrooms. And sometimes, los capuchos throw potato or hand grenades, to scare the teachers and administrative staff. I used to get really scared, but now it's completely normal, and I even join the other students as they cheer los capuchos up.

The end :)
