wow its hard to believe ive been here for a week already! ive been so busy its hard to find time to blog.. (so im terribly sorry chris for not posting everyday) :) haha well my first weekend here in brasil was so much fun! after school on friday i went shopping with patty and thomas. i bought a cell phone and a notebook for school. ahh saturday i slept until 12:30 (so nothing has changed, im still lazy and i love my sleep) then i had lunch and hung out with thomas and noah durning the day. then at 6 i went to the cinemas (movies) with my friends from school. we saw "going the distance" thank god it was in english!!! there were portuguese subtitles though! that is another helpful thing, being able to hear it in english but read it in portuguese. i was able to actually recognize some words! :) the brasilian movie theater is about the same as ours there wasnt anything different that stood out to me.. besides it all being in portuguese. after the movies we all went to a pizza resaurant called "varanda" it was so good! doesnt come close to bianchis though.. then on sunday at about 12 i went over to my friend rodrigos with everybody from the movies + some. we had chinese food for lunch and ice cream. we played games, watched a movie, went outside and played soccer! all in all, it was a great weekend! So much fun with so many good people. i couldnt have asked for a better experience! today i had school. School is definately something i look forward to.. (never thought i would be saying that!) after school i went to the english school and met with the teacher there. i am getting free portuguese lessons every tuesday from 2-3. I will beinfit from this sooo much! maybe in a few weeks i will actually be able to understand some of the things people are saying instead of looking at them like im crazy and waiting for someone to translate for me...but its all part of being in a foriegn country! Today was awesome though! for the first time at school someone said something to me and i knew what they said! it was an exciting time for me! haha the excitment went away quickly though, because after the first sentence they said, i was back to looking at them like i was crazy.. next thing i did today was go to the gym! felix, my trainer offered me free training at the gym as long as i helped him with his english!.. sounds pretty fair to me! all ive been doing here is eat eat eat eat eat.. the gym is now a top priority.. although it felt weird to sweat again, havent done that in awhile (goes to show just how lazy i really am) and the about ends my day.. i came home talked with the fam for a little bit. and now im here, writing in my blog. (grandmas orders!) this is going to be another insanely busy week so im not sure when i will write again.. tuesday (amanha) i have portuguese and have to get my school uniform(thank god! im running out of clothes to wear) wednesday theres a soccer game im going to, thursday.... i cant remember but i know i have something going on.. friday i wont go to school because we are going to the federal police to get my temp. stay license. but thats just the highlights! im not sure i realized how fast the days would go by... so much to do but so little time!!!!
goodnight u.s.a!
boa noite brasil!
