Minha primeira peça brasileira

I went to my first Brazilian play tonight! It was a comedy called A Farsa do Advogado Pathelin and I surprisingly understood a lot of it! I didn't expect to understand the least bit of the play...and I came out understanding more than half of it!! (low expectations ROCK!) I went with my padrinho, Michel who is really cool and super knowledgeable! I'm really grateful to have him as a padrinho cos he's been so helpful.

The beer party last night wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. There were A LOT of people there! For the first hour or so, Brenna and I were looking for the rest of the group because we got separated ordering drinks. I had vodka and maracuja juice--which was okay but strong. They played all sorts of weird music--from Jeannie Ortega (yeah, who knew Brazilians liked Jeannie Ortega) to classic samba music...anyway, it was just supremely crowded. More guys than girls...so there were definitely a lot of stares at us. Apparently there was a guy following me...how creepy! So we somehow all met up and just chatted for a while. This Brazilian girl we met showed me an "alternative" bathroom--which was peeing by the side of a building...yeah, not for me. She was so drunk that she didn't even care! I wasn't that drunk...! I actually haven't been super drunk since probably at Midd...

I don't know what to think of the party scene here at UFSC...but it's definitely nothing like at Midd. I don't feel as safe being drunk here because the fact is that I could be in some serious trouble for being belligerent. and that's a risk I don't want to take.

So it's Friday night. I'm going to watch the Simpsons, have snacks and go to sleep. and I'm perfectly content with this.
