CONFESSIONS OF A STUDENT WHO FAILED TO FAIL AT WRITING AN ESSAY.

Abstract

This text consists of two accounts by an undergraduate student in the humanities who participated in an exchange program, moving from the University of São Paulo to the University of Buenos Aires. It has no theoretical scope nor does it claim to be a form of autoethnography—or perhaps at some point it did have that ambition—but ultimately it is nothing more than the confession of a student who wants to survive university, who wants to help create a university where one can begin to think.
