Since I had to wake up at 6AM to be at the Receita de Policia Federal at 7, I was tired by noon. I took a wonderful nap, woke up and had cereal for lunch. I'm going to miss my honey nut cheerios once it's gone!! I can't believe they don't have honey nut cheerios here! I guess I'll have to find a Brazilian cereal to be nuts about. so yeah--because I took a nap in the afternoon, I'm having a hard time falling asleep. I'm so restless. I could study some Portuguese--I could write--I could read the news--but I'm just not in the mood to. I'm also worried about S. I wish I could do something to help but I'm so far away and honestly, I don't know what else to do but to hope that everything will be okay in the end. everything will be okay in the end, right?
My family seems to be doing well. I never thought I'd actually enjoy Skyping with my mom, but it's actually a lot of fun. I think the technology amuses her as well. She brushes her hair and makes sure that she's wearing a nice shirt before she video chats with me and makes a fuss that she's on camera--it's so cute, I miss my mom!!
What else? I went on Orkut to find this girl who was in my class before I dropped it when I realized that Midd probably wouldn't give me credit for a social service course...and I had no idea how Orkut works. It's supposed to be the Brazilian version of facebook, but it's so confusing to navigate...and I also discovered that it keeps track of who's been to your profile. So when I sign in, I can see a list of people that have been on my profile! yea--imagine if facebook did that...it would be the end of facebook stalking! (or maybe not. but it'd be interesting to see who's been to your profile) Anyways, I found her on Orkut--and she's my first Brazilian friend on Orkut (yay!) It'd be great to make more Brazilian friends. Speaking of Brazilian friends, I talked with Felipe and Aline (who are my padrinho's Brazilian friends) for 4 hours straight on Saturday at this pizzeria. It was so amazing! I was seriously on a high from the conversation! I think at some point Portuguese was on automatic in my brain because I didn't realize I could talk in Portuguese for 4 hours straight!
Anyways, I think I'll try to get some sleep now...it's Tuesday.

- What makes life so interesting are the risks you take and the people you meet. I've lived the majority of my life fearing the consequences of risks. Well, that's what the twenties are for! I am going to write about my trials and tribulations of being a twentysomething year old in this big world, trying to figure it all out. It's going to be a topsy turvy ride, but that's what being in your twenties is all about.
The part about you Skyping with your mom made my heart smile. :)
