Let's go!

Ola!

So, tomorrow, very early, I will be getting on a plane and flying to Belo Horizonte! Yea! I can't wait! I will be going on a twenty day bus trip that goes to Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and several other cities! It is going to be so much fun. I'll still be posting but the company has a blog for the trip. Here's the link: http://northeastdec2012.blogspot.com.br/

I am really looking forward to having a great trip!

Eu amo voces!

Can you say...

Give me a C! Give me an H! Give me a... What am I thinking? I don't have time for this. I was going to spell chaos because that describes my week but I'm not evil (most of the time heheheh, why did I write that? Now everyone knows my super secret plot to take over the world and ban all rice krispies. What? I never said I was sane and after the week I had...). Moving on... My week has been crazy, from exploding pens that make you miss an important announcement (long story) to missing a test because my host mother turned off her cell phone (again long story but don't worry, I have a make up test sceduled).

And after all that, happy Thanksgiving! I am in another country and I still remember! Yea!

Anyways, I hope you American types all have an awesome holiday and don't eat too much!

Paz!

Rotary Orientation

Ola!

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet, but thanks for asking.

So it has been a long week, I have been going crazy getting together the paperwork and other stuff that I need to go on a tour in December. I'm really looking forward to it! On top of that insanity, this weekend was also the Rotary Orientation. I had a blast! On Friday we walked around the historic district of São Luís and then went to a restaurant to eat. On Saturday, we woke up early and had breakfast before going over Rotary rules. Then we had lunch at another restaurant. After lunch we all walked to the beach and played in the water. We were taking pictures as a group, standing in the water, when a wave came up behind us, that photo showed all of us with very shocked expressions on our faces, sadly it wasn't my camera. After lunch we all talked to David about how our exchange has been so far, I know this may be hard to believe but one of the students only got here two days before! Talk about cutting it close! We then were driven back to the beach where we proceeded to go crazy with pictures starring the Brazilian flag. That night we went to dinner at the Rotary building and they had a DJ! I was voted 'Dancing Queen' of the night because I out danced even the Brazilians! I really hope they send me the photos because I don't have any from the dance onwards. This morning, after getting back really early that morning, we were supposed to go to the beach but no one could drag their butts out of bed, I'm still recovering from last night, I have blisters from my shoes!

Well, now you know all about the weekend. I'll leave you with an onslaught of pictures. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Olá!

Happy Halloween one day late! I had a very busy day yesterday that involved getting up early, going to school to take some tests (inglês, filosofia, física e literatura or English, philosophy, physics and literature). I may not have gotten a ten, the grading system goes from one to ten, ten being the highest, but I think I did fairly well. After I finished my tests, I went back to the house and had lunch. Then I went back to school for class. As I said, it was a long day but I had a lot of fun.

I would now like to take the time to offer my wishes of safety for those who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. It is on the news even here and I, along with the rest of my host family, are hoping that everyone in the storms path comes out safely.

Paz e amor!

PS I realized that I forgot about my challenges! Here's the answer to last week's challenge:
In the United States, the lakes are very cold.

And the challenge for this week:
O mar aqui é não frio.
