- Last weekend, I went to a costume party...and hands down, it was the most enjoyable party that I've been to in Brasil. I mean, it has to do more with people than the actual party. and all it takes is just one person... I was dressed as a gypsy and Cat was dressed as Cleopatra!
- I have a new favorite place in Florianópolis--the ecological park in Córrego Grande...it's amazing and I love jogging there! I went jogging with Patrick yesterday and it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen...he was jogging with one hand in his pocket to secure his iPod and using his other arm to pump for energy...guess those cigarettes really got to him..haha!
- So November is going to be a shit-show month. I have so much work to do because as usual, I've put it off...and plus the professors just started cramping down on homework as well cos the end of the semester is coming!! Funny enough, according to Cat, there is no word in Portuguese for Procrastination...only postpone...how funny! perhaps procrastination doesn't exist in Brasil...only "starting your work late" (a.k.a partying too much).
- Our little midd group has become a fun group! Yesterday, we all went out to eat at an Arabic restaurant and it was so much fun! I love how we're all building our inside jokes and just playing with the duality of our language abilities! Last Thursday we went to a Mexican restaurant, just us girls because Patrick was in Buenos Aires. And it was such a great girl bonding session...which I've missed so much!
- As I was walking home yesterday, I just felt so happy and appreciative to be here in Brasil. I admit it was really rough in the beginning, but life is good now. I just wanted to take some time out now to reflect how incredible my past 3 months here have been. I've matured, gained 10 pounds and can speak português mais ou menos now. and there's only more to come. This is just the beginning for me in terms of the bigger picture. wow, it's so hard to believe because it feels like it's been so much longer!
ugh. agreed with november being hell. four investigation projects, here we come..
ReplyDeletesounds fun. but one thing, i thought halloween was not a big holiday in Brasil. Something about it being a day to mourn the dead and such. Either way, hope you had as much fun as I did!
