English

When your english teacher is teaching you a sentence that is so wrong you just want to leave the class room. Here I wrote it down so I won't forget it. Ok this first one the girl's car is broken ok so here was the next sentence she wrote "She hasn't to go to work" -_- oy vey. O this one is my favorite. The girl didn't have any money, so here was the next sentence " I need take some more to buy bread" I am not making this up this is quoted. I want to say something, but I don't want to seem like a know it all you know? What ever on a happier note I got presents from home today!!!! I got a box of pancakes, syrup, 3 box's of mac n cheese, and an American flag! Yeah I got the flag cause apparently me and the other girl in my district from United States didn't get the memo about bringing your countries flag with lol.  

Itanhém

So I just spent the weekend with my family at their beach house in Itanhém!!!!! Ahhhh it was soooo much fun, and thank god for us it was nice, sunny, and hot this weekend! So we went to the beach, and me and Paula walked along the shore. We were looking for shells to take home, and o my I have a lot of shells now haha. They are so pretty, the shells are pink. I have never seen pink shells before!! Also we found a coral, and a sand dollar but we accidentally dropped it lol o well we found plenty of other cool things! We had sea food for lunch, like actual sea food. This stuff was probably caught that morning. I had fried squid, which surprisingly I really liked. I also had this small fish thing. It was fried, but you could still see the outline of where the eye used to be, and it still looked like a fish. Then when I bit into it you had to eat its tiny bones too, and at that point I was just done. It creeped me out so much I couldn't do it.  I also eat fried shrimp, and different kinds of fried fish. Which wasn't too bad; not my favorite thing in the world, but I will still eat it. Also, I got to drink coconut water....... out of a real coconut!!!!!! They had the coconut then they put a hole in it, then they put a straw inside, then you just drank from it! OOO it was soooo awesome, and it tasted soooo good. I can now check that off my bucket list. Then when you are done drinking from it they cut it, and you eat the stuff inside! I wasn't a huge fan of the taste of that, it was just really plain. Paula and I went to see Despicable Me 2. I love minions they are so cute. I must say though I am a little sunburnt :/ ouch. I swear I put sunscreen on too, and I didn't even get in the water, cause it was freezing!!!! O well it doesn't hurt that much, but if I get burnt from the winter heat imagine what the summer heat will be like. I will have to reapply sunscreen every 5 mins lol.

Today when we got home we went to eat at my host dad's mom's house. We had this really good pasta thing. It was Italian so of course it was delicious. After that we went to a family friends birthday party. But, it is nice cause she is a friend from Rotary, so my Rotary friends were there too, so I got to hang out with them!!! :) I love hanging out with them they are so nice. I wished we went to the same school haha. We played Call of Duty, Mortal Kombat, and Scattergories. Only the rules were a bit different, and in Portuguese so I just watched, and kind of helped my friend with hers lol. I was also informed that the Packers lost their first game :( O well, good news is Giulia cheers for the Packers at her house yayyyyyy :). We were going to have some troubles if that wasn't the case hahaha just kidding. Whew long blog sorry. A lot happened this weekend, and I probably forgot something lol. Tchau  

language

For those of you who don't know how listening to converstions in another language goes here is a pretty accurate example. ljashoehjkahdfkjhsojehowahfjs Taylor Swift lkajsadhf;oasdjo;hgooasjl......... So you hear something you know listen, then while listening you have no idea what they are saying, and go back to spacing out.

Bahia bracelet

Sorry I have neglected to tell you about this, but there is this thing here that I love. There are these bracelets from Bahia that you tie 3 times and with each tie you make a wish, and once the bracelet falls off naturally then you wishes come true!! Almost everyone here has one, they are muito legal! Also someone has to give it to you, and each color means something. Mine is multicolored and I tried looking up what it meant but I could not find anything. But, I think someone told me at one point it means luck. Also, on another note there is this thing that 2 kids in my school do that I think is hilarious, and I have no idea why. They have tape, and they take peoples stuff and tape it together. Like they have done pencils, bags, erasers, and water bottles. Hahaha I seriously think this is the funniest thing ever.

Police

Today I had to go to the police station to officially be able to live in Brasil. Of course it was insane, and things were difficult, but that is how all these things end up like right! haha O it was fun though I had a good time. I saw a girl from my district 4420 there too getting her documents too, so what are the chances of that happening. We also went to star bucks and I drink a Brigadeiro coffee!!! O the best thing in the world!!!!! I loved it so much!!!! Also, one other thing I love watching soccer (futebol) here! I do not know why, but it is much more exciting, and people are a lot better at it. No offense but hey we are really good at football in United States, so you can't be good at everything right.

woodchuck

So today I taught people in my class how to say "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" then they taught me some tongue twisters, and hahaha it was so much fun! Today I gave my short speech in Portuguese, and I really did not do that bad I think. I was the first to talk, and of course everyone clapped when I was done because that is just what Brazilians do haha. I have decided that you will have to drag me back home because I am never going back :)

Filme!!!

First off today I went to a Rotary Kids meeting. Rotary Kids is a Rotary group for well kids. I am in Interact, which is like a Rotary club for teens, but I decided to come check out what the Rotary Kids meeting was like. I also thought we were going to talk about the Halloween party but we never got to that hahaha o well. Usually the Interact and the Rotary Kids meetings are together, but I don't know why they weren't today. O well next Sunday we have it with both groups!!! Today I also went to a movie with some friends!!! We went to see Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters!!! It was really good, even though it was in Portuguese. There really wasn't much talking that went on since it was an action movie, so I understood it pretty well. But, for the talking parts someone helped translate what was going on for me lol. It was a lot of fun! My first Brazilian movie how exciting!!!!!!  O also I have to give a small speech in Portuguese tomorrow :/ yikes!!! Wish me luck!!!!!!!  Ahhh well I am going to go to bed cause I have to wake up at 6 -_-..... boa noite!!!!!!
