wow

I just figured out enough portugues on my blog homepage to set the language to english. I still haven't gotten the hang of this keyboard though. Today was my first day of school. I met with the principal and my counselor first and then i went to geography class. Here the students don't move, the teachers do. It is different. School only lasts until one o'clock. Today my sister had english class at a private school and i went with her. I knew all the answers =) Then we went to the gym. She took a ballet class while I did whatever I could figure out. I'm starting to pick up on important words in portugues though. Everytime I figure out what something means i try to say it about 20 time so maybe I will remember it. I know that watermelon is meloncia. I learned that at the grocery store yesterday. I've also learned that the best time of day is when you get home from school and have lunch. Lunch is a much bigger deal than dinner here.
On another note, i feel like i am being useless because i'm not supposed to do anything because the maid does everything. I feel wierd having a maid. Also there is a woman who comes every friday to give manicures to every at the house. I'm pretty happy about that part.
