Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!! Today I had a party for Halloween at school. I didn't really have classes either today, so it was a lot of fun! We played some classes games you know against each others classes. They were a lot of fun! There was this one where we had to fit in a box, then the box kept getting smaller and smaller, until it was just this tiny little thing; so in order to fit everyone in my friend Melissa, and I had to get on top of someones shoulders. -_- I didn't like it hahaha, I thought I was going to fall, but we all made it in somehow so thats all that matters. I also got a bag of candy at the party. I was kind of missing Halloween, and just eating candy all day, but I felt better once I got the candy :).

Festa de Halloween

My Rotary club had a Halloween party last Saturday. It was a lot of fun, and we got to dress up!! I went as a German girl. I really liked my costume is was really cute. Sometimes I think they like Halloween more here then we do in United States haha.

25 de março

Today I didn't have to go to school!!! Because... I went to 25th street! Ahh 25th St. the dirtiest, smelliest place in Brasil....... I almost stepped on a hobo. The street is so crowded I started to get really stressed out because you know I really am not used to all those people in one area at a time (unless it is black friday). But this place is a shoppers dream. Everything is sooo cheaper (well at least compared to everything in Brasil). I went because I didn't have a costume for Halloween, but the ironic part was I didn't even end up buying one haha. But, I did buy a new phone case because my other one was so broken it wasn't even funny haha. But, for my Halloween costume, I went to my friends house to try on some of their costumes cause they have a lot. And, that is how I came across the belly dancer outfit. It is just a bra, and like this skirt thing. It was actually really cute, but I would never wear it in public hahaha. But, I thought it would be the funniest thing to send to my dad. So, I did hahaha. Ahh but no worry's that isn't my actual costume. My real costume is a german girl. It is really cute o my god I love it!!! The minute I tried it on I was like it is this one. Also, it isn't like extremely short too, it is perfect length!! I am so excited to wear it!! Also, today I went to a Halloween party at my sports club. I had a lot of fun. There was a haunted house and stuff, but honestly it wasn't too scary, but this is also coming from an American. Our haunted houses are extremely creepy...... I have seen people coming out of them just bawling. So, my opinion doesn't really count here haha. O but it was a lot of fun. I tried to get my friend to come into the haunted house with me by saying I won't ever get to go with you again, and it worked for a little bit, but then she went back. hahaha o well! Well I am going to go to bed cause people back home keep yelling at me to go to bed tonight for some reason hahaha Boa noite xoxoxox

Interact

Time Zone Difference

Hey everyone heads up the time between Wisconsin, and Brasil is now different. It is 3 hours ahead instead of 2. Starting on November 4 it will be 4 hours ahead. Sucks but o well. Ok just wanted to let people know Tchau!!!

Jota Quest

Had an amazing night tonight!!! First off I rode the subway for the very first time. It got kind of sickening going back and forth, but I was very excited! I have only seen subway stations in movies I have never actually seen one so that was really cool. The part that made it amazing though was I went to a concert tonight with some friends from another school. Their school has a lot of other schools, so each year they have a concert where a famous band plays. The band that was there this year was Jota Quest. They are a pretty popular Brazilian band. Before going to the show I only knew one song now I love Jota Quest!! O it was such a great concert I had some much fun. It was on the ground so everyone was packed together, but I didn't even care it was so much fun. I met a lot of great people too that I will find on Facebook later. Well that's it; it is late and I have to wake up at 6 for school tchau gentes :*

Dia de Crianças (mais ou menos)

Today for Children's Day my interact club went to a poor children's school at did stuff with them. There was cotton candy, popcorn, ballon animals, face paint, and some clowns came. I did face paint, and it was a lot of fun. I was honestly quite impressed with my Portuguese haha. But, I now know what a borboleta is (it is a butterfly). My god I had to draw so many butterfly's. The worst part was everyone wanted a pink butterfly, and the pink sucked so it sometimes didn't turn out so well hahaha. Also, today someone from my Rotary club invited me to there house to eat Paella, which is a traditional Mexican meal. O it was so good! It was rice with pork, squid, clams, shrimp, octopus, and meat. O yeah I really liked it, but it made me full so fast hahaha. But, the family was soo nice. I had a lot of fun, and they had little kids who were just adorable haha. One thing I have noticed about more formal diners is first you have a salad, then you have the main dish, next is fruit, then it is dessert, and finally it is coffee hahaha. Yeah it is a lot you get pretty full, but it is all so good you just want to keep eating. Except coffee I have to put like 5 spoonfuls in the coffee before I can drink it because it is just so strong.
