Birthday party!!

Today was the 18th birthday of one of my friends from school! The party was SOOOO much fun! First off, it was a costume party, sooo everyone was dressed in a costume! I went as Audrey Hepburn, from Breakfast at Tiffany's!!! It turned out really good actually!!!! It was really cute! I liked it! But the party was awesome! hahah almost everyone from my class was there, and he had a DJ at the party; so we danced the entire night! I danced for probably like 4 hours straight hahaha. But, it was worth it!!!! But, I am tired. It's 3 a.m. right now. Typical brazilian party you know ;). I will miss Brazilian parties :(. They really are amazing!  

Despedida

My friends from school had a going away party for me :(. We went to a Japanese restaurant (because I love Japanese food) hahaha. It was a lot of fun!!!!! I am going to miss them a lot! :( At least it wasn't the last time I get to see them!! I have things planned with them over this next week before I leave! :).

Museu Lingua Portuguesa

Today my friend and I went to the Museu Linga Portuguesa!!! (the portuguese language museum). It was sooo pretty, and cool!!!! It had a ton of paintings, and interactive things. It was all about like language, and Brazil. I went with my friend Jesslyn. We had the worse time finding each other though hahaha. The museum is in this station called Luz. And luz is a HUGE station. It was also my first time going to this station. So, we get there and we are trying to find each other, so she said meet by the piano; so I get to the piano........ and she's not there! There must be like two pianos or something! So, we finally just agreed to meet at the Museum; where we finally realized that there are like 4 stations inside this station. NO wonder we couldn't find each other hahaha. But, we did! and it was a TON of fun!  

Play Practice

So, like a month ago I went to my friends play of Grease, and I became friends with some of the people in the play. So, I wanted to see them again; so today I went to join their play practice! It was really nice seeing everyone again. I really wish I meet them earlier :(. I instantly connected with them. It sucks to become good friends with people then I leave in 2 weeks. Sigh o well.

Also, today me and Leticia went to the mall. So, we went to this cookie shop, and I was looking at the cookies, while Leticia was ordering. So, I go to stand behind her, and I wasn't listening to what she was saying; then all of a sudden the cashier says "O would you prefer I speak in English, I speak English" and she goes "Yes, please thank you sooo much"............. :O :O hahahah what!!!!! She's Brazilian!!!!!! I just started laughing!!! I was almost crying from laughing so hard. She's like "what" like everything is normal....... Then when I ordered I ordered in Portuguese.........., and I am American! hahahaha O my god it was funny. Then we went to the Pharmacy and did the same thing! Only I was in on it this time. Hahahah she was pretending to not know any Portuguese, or how to pronounce it. O god it was awesome. It's a good way to find out if they speak English. Surprisingly no one at the Pharmacy knows how to speak English.

Interlagos

Today I went to visit Interlagos. Interlagos is this race track in São Paulo. It is huge!! It isn't for like the NASCAR type of racing, it is more for the European races. It was really cool. When we went it wasn't like an actual race. It was a bunch of old cars, and they were doing this thing called regular race. Like all they did was bet to say they could do the track within 15 mins or something like this. Afterwards I went to Paulista with Bia, and Melissa. We originally went to find gringos, but we didn't find a lot :(. But, we also went to The Fault in our Stars. O MY GOD......... I cried soooo much!!!!! Sooo much! It is a really good movie, but it is sooo sad! At one point my friend looked at me and she was crying then I just started crying even more. Wow I really have to finish reading the book! I just don't have time :(. Afterwards Bia's family took us to a Korean restaurant (because her family is Korean hahahah) I LOVE Korean food now!!! It was sooo good!!! AHHHHH only 2 weeks left in Brazil!! :( :( :( Passou muito rapido!!! :( :(

Fifa Fan Fest

O my god best day ever!!!!!! Ok so first my friend and I went to 25 de Março to buy some presents and stuff. So, we meet at the metro station, and we saw these signs everywhere that said Fifa Fan Fest. Like I had heard a lot about this and wanted to go. And we had no idea it was next to 25 de Março. So, we said lets go shopping first then lets go check it out. So we went shopping where I bought a ton of things for really cheap <3 that's why I love this street! So, we ate, met lots of foreigners, and decided to go check out the Fan Fest. So, our plan was to get see if we could get a picture of it because we thought you had to pay to get inside. But!!!! We get to the front and we find out that it is free! The only weird part was I couldn't bring my umbrella inside (even though it was poring rain), but whatever there is still little news stand place that said they would hold my umbrella for 5 reais, so I left it there then we went back to the security. Yeah well this horn thing, that I had just bought at 25, apparently I couldn't take it in with me because it made noise, which is like the stupidest thing ever cause it is "fan fest" so I don't know what the problem with making noise is, but whatever so she threw it away, and a pen that I had in my bag, but whatever I don't care about the pen. It kind of sucked that she threw away the horn it was really cool :( O well I just really wanted to go inside. So, we get inside and we are just so excited, we can't believe that we just stumbled upon this. So, we are taking snapchats, and stuff; then all of this sudden this guy comes over and my friend screams HI ( I didn't know him lol), and he is like I saw your snapchat and I came looking for you (apparently he was an exchange student from her district), and he said takes us to the front and there are a ton of other exchange students. O my god guys it was just awesome!!! Afterwards, I was wet, tired, and cold, but I was SOOO happy that I was able to go to this event! (o btw fan fest is this stage where they have a huge TV, and you can watch the World Cup) I really want to go back to watch because we only went for like 45 mins. It was a game against Australia, and Holand.

Things like this is why I love being an exchange student, and having a travelers personality. You never know what your going to stumble across. I love finding random exciting things, that you never would have expected to find! <3



















   

USA!

Yayyyyy today was the game of the USA!!! It was against Ghana. I was sooo nervous. I wanted them to win sooo bad! Ghana is a tough they run soooo fast! But, we ended up winning 2-1!!! :D :D :D USA, USA, USA, USA!!!!! I was soo happy! Felt a little emotional while they sang the national anthem. I don't know why was just nice hear so many people singing it. Felt like I was back home. They said there was 20 thousand Americans at the stadium. Also, US made the first goal within 29 seconds of the game! I am a happy, and proud American! kkkkkkkk Even though in all honesty we are good just not as good as some of the other teams like Brasil, Germany, Spain. We won't win the cup, but I still like cheering for my own country! GO USA!!!
