color festival

Today was one of my favorite days while on exchange! I went to this color festival, which is like a Indian thing to celebrate spring by throwing colors at each other; only it had a little Brasilian twist to it :)  I went with some exchange students, and some rebounds. Also, some of the rebounds friends were there too. But, it was sooo much fun! We threw colors at each other for hours, then there were bands playing all day; so we danced all day too. There were so many people here too like thousands of people. It was awesome because this was the first year São Paulo did it, and I got to be apart of it :). O I had colors everywhere cause it is just a powder; so it feels like sand, and it sticks in your hair like sand too lol. Literally, I probably had an inch thick of paint in my hair when I got home. The best part is you just throw colors at everyone even if you didn't know them. Like people would just come over and dump a full tube of paint on your head haha. O I love so much Brasil :)

Futebol

So, I had a major Brasilian moment today. I didn't have to have algebra class today because we went and watch the guys play futebol :) hahaha soccer always comes first ;). But, it was between 2nd year (my year), and 3rd year. 2nd year won cause you know we are the best year. But, meu deus was this game ever intense. People are screaming, and swearing everywhere haha. Even I was getting into it (I wasn't swearing), but here what you say is vai! Which, means go! So, it goes like vai, vaI, vAI, VAI!!! hahaha it's a lot of fun. I love it!! :)

Zoológico

Today I went to the zoo!!! It was so much fun! I love the zoo, and seeing all the animals. There were some Brasilian birds, and cats; there were some other animals too, but they had the common animals you find at the zoo. They had elephants, giraffes, and monkeys (they also had apes Dad lol) :). But, it was a very nice zoo; I liked it very much. On a totally unrelated note it is raining really hard outside right now......... I guess it is because spring started yesterday :)

Festa da Primavera

So, today I went to festa da primavera (spring party) at my school. It was soooo much fun!!!!! I mostly liked it cause I got to hang out with my friends, but they had games, food, and some kids were dancing. There were these little girls in flower dresses dancing to beauty and the beast, and it was the most adorable thing ever! They even had flowers to dance with lol. Also I eat a crepe, which is like this well I don't know how to describe it really it is a brasilian thing. But, it is this fried coating over either cheese or chocolate. I had the chocolate one of course. It is kind of like a pastel only sweeter I guess hahaha não sei, but anyways it was good. For supper today I made my family kraft mac n cheese. I miss it soooo much!!!! I though for sure they wouldn't like it, but they loved it!!!! I will make them homemade mac n cheese sometime cause that stuff is 10 times better!!!!!

churrascaria

Well first off on Friday I went to my first party!!!! It was fun. Then on Saturday I went to this video game thing that Rotary was hosting and won 200 reais. There were these competitions in Just Dance, and Mario Kart and I won!!! Well I guess my obsession over those 2 games finally paid off. Lastly, today I went to a churrascaria!!! Ooooooo it was soooo good! They bring these slabs of meat out to you, then just cut you off a piece. I was so full afterwards I felt like I just ate a Thanksgiving dinner. But, I loved sooooo much. O I also ate a chickens heart there :/. I tried it and thought it tasted really good. Then when they came around again to give it to us they actually told me what it was; so when I ate it I felt a little freaked out and it didn't taste as good lol.

Writing

So, my two friends are going to try to become exchange students!!! They are twins so they will be going at the same time. Bless that mom she is brave haha. So, for some odd reason they have to write introductory's about themselves in English even though they speak Portuguese....... really doesn't make sense, but o well. Anyways, since they have to write it in English I was helping them correct it! :) haha it was a lot of fun. I like writing, and I miss doing it so it was nice be able to do it again. It was hard though this whole time I am trying not to think, or speak in English then all of a sudden I have to come up with all these words. I can't even remember some words to be honest haha.

banana maçã

Today I ate banana maçã, which is a banana, but it kind of had an apple taste to it (O by the way maçã means apple). But, the banana was a little harder then usual. I think it is some genetically engineered fruit where they pollinated a banana, and apple together to make this fruit. It was good, but I like regular bananas better lol.
