Restaurante

So that awkward moment when you try to say pare (stop), but you end up saying perry (as in the platypus)............. yeah I was close. Also, that confusing moment when you go to a Japanese restaurant, but are reading Portuguese, while speaking Portugish (Portuguese and English).Yeah well, we went to a Japanese restaurant today. It was a different one from the first time, but it had like the same exact food. It was good, I am just not really used to sushi, but like I said in my last Japanese restaurant blog I liked the fried sushi, and the salmon. Also, I watched this really sad movie today :( It was called Olga. It is a Brazilian movie, so it was in Portuguese, but I some how understood everything that was happening. It was a about a girl who was a communist, and married like the head communist guy, but they eventually got caught and thrown into jail. This is all happening during World War 2, and this Olga girl is a jew, and since the President of Brasil didn't like here she sent her to Germany. O it gets better, then she has a baby!!!! But, once the baby got older they took it away from her (thank god it went to some people she knew), but she then got sent to a concentration camp. Then she freaking died :O just no no no no it was horrible. Such a good movie, but horrible; since it was based on a true story. It kind of reminded me of Schindler's List.  Just to remind you that this is all in Portuguese too, so I am quite proud of my self for understanding all of this. Well that is enough for today tchau!!

pedicures

When you have to write half a page about your self in Portuguese<<<<. O my god that was so hard!!! My brain hurt so much afterwards, but it was really helpful to help me learn. Hopefully the teacher doesn't correct my grammar cause that would be just mean, since well I don't know any of the grammar.

Today Giulia and I went to go get pedicures, and manicures!!! It was a lot of fun. I love getting my nails done it feels so good, but getting your nails done is different here. In United States when you get a pedicure you put your feet in water then they work on your feet, but here you get put your feet up on their lap. They do the same exact things to your feet just that your foot is on their lap. At first it felt really weird like my leg was shaking so much; then the lady said just relax and I did and it felt like how it is usually done.

O my I need to stop eating!!! The food here is soooo good and my host family just keeps offering me more and more food!!! If I keep this up they will have to roll me on the plane back home hahaha. Well I am also in this thinking of one side of me says don't eat any more you are going to get fat; then the other side (the exchange side) says eat eat eat you want to roll back home as a ball!!!! Usually the exchange side wins ;) But I do miss going for runs, or walks around my neighborhood. It feels nice to get exercise, to be alone, and clear your mind. But I just don't think it is safe to really go for a run here, and I would probably get terribly lost lol. Well my food baby and I are going to go to bed. Boa noite Tchau beijos xoxoxox.

test :/

I had test for real today. You know you are screwed when you look at your geometry test and are not even sure where you should put your name haha. O well I also had a grammar test, which the teacher helped me a lot with even though I only finished three questions. Had another Rotary meeting tonight, and I have one this weekend where I get to meet all of the inbounds!!!! So excited well I am going to bed since it is late and I have to wake up at 6 tchau!!  

test??

So today in Biology we were I think we took a test, but apparently it was not a test so I am quite confused about it. Anyways, we were dong a Biology game on the I pads and I had done a level in Portuguese and I just completely sucked at it. But, once I got back on the home screen there was an option to switch to English!!! Which of course I did, and since it was Biology and I just took that class I did really well on it!!! It felt nice feeling kind of smart again. You know that feeling in school when you actually know something or remember something using your brain. Yeah haven't really had that feeling in a while. Which, is a weird feeling not being able to help out when we are doing homework in a group. I actually feel bad about it sometimes lol. In United States I was pretty smart at school, and not knowing anything here just kind of sucks lol. O well only 5 more months until I will understand!!! haha Boa noite!!!

Festa!!!

My morning started out with us going to an antique fair. It is on the street, and people sell old stuff. I got a bracelet like the snap bracelet's that go on your wrist that says Brasil. I haven't seen one of these since I played with it at Grandma Grace's house when Dylan was being born. O speaking of Dylan he broke his wrist (face palm) by falling off a tree. Poor thing :( I skyped him today I hope I made him feel better I heard he was pretty sad. For lunch today I had the best thing in the world. It was this Italian pasta, with cheese that kind of made an alfredo sauce ooooo I swear this is the best thing I have ever eaten I love it soooo much!!!! Today we also had Giulia's surprise going away party!!! It was so sweet a lot of people were there!! I met some kids from Rotex. They were very nice, and I loved talking to them. I sometimes feel bad though when people are telling a story in Portuguese then I am the only one who doesn't understand, so they repeat it in English; then I am the only one awkwardly laughing lol. O well I will get there!!! :) before you know it I will be speaking fluently :) Well that was all for this eventful day. Tomorrow I have to go back to school :( I think this week is test week too yikes this maybe interesting..... well tchau!!!  

loco dirigindo

O I have been meaning to make a blog about this, but I just keep for getting. Driving here is insane. Like motor cyles don't have to be in the lane with the cars they do what ever they want. For example they drive between the cars, and they go really fast. Also I think some times when we are driving I am not sure we are even in a lane I think we kind of make our own lane haha. Lastly, the word stop is not really in their driving vocabulary haha. It is probably just really bad cause it is a big city, but still it is insane. O I also have another food confession I love pineapple here!!!! O meu deus it is soooooo good!!!! it is juicy, sweet, and not out of a can ;). Nothing really exciting happened today. I watched Charlie St. Cloud (in Portuguese), and Hunger Games. Then we went to a birthday party of someones. They had a band, but it was all in Portuguese so I didn't know any of the songs, but they were a really good band :). Well that is really it for today tchau for now :)

Pizza

Hello international readers and welcome to my blog lol. Today I didn't do much. I went to school, and I had an english class yayyy!!!!! Hahaha, it feels nice to have a little break from Portuguese. My friends at school are so nice. We had to read these conversations in English, and when we were done they would translate it to Portuguese and make me say it to them. They really are helpful when it comes to school. Like helping me with stuff when I am just staring blankly into space. Well since I have finished my first week of school some may ask what is it like, or what have you learned. To answer your first question imagine staring at a blank wall for 6 hours that is basically what school is like in another language. I might as well be starting at a blank wall cause I am no idea what they are writing on the board. To answer you second question I have learned how to pronounce Palestinos in Portuguese......... well it's a start right?

After school Giulia and I went to to the mall. Haha it was a fun time I decided that when I come home I will probably be broke cause I am going to buy so much clothes!! Everything is so cute here. Then we went out for Pizza at Charlie's. You know like Charlie Chaplin. O it was sooooo good!!! My favorite was the chocolate with strawberry's pizza ooooooo sooo good! This place reminded me of Pizza Doctors (if you know what this place is) only their pizza's are more fancy. These people come around with different pizza's and you can either try it or say no. But yeah definitely a place I will have to go back too :) Well that's all for now até amanhã!
