So, i hate being cold. I love snow and blah,blah,blah but, i hate being cold. When we go out on the weekends here we are out until like 2,3,4,idk what time in the morning so it gets cold. Last night was especially cold so i had my swearshirt on at like 11 and felipé told me that i was obviously a true brazilian. I think he is right.
Rachel had some people over for her birthday last night to eat pizza and when she told me i was expecting like ten kids and some delivery pizza. boy was i wrong...
people were arriving at 8 and at like 6 this van pulls up and these two people get out and start unloading stuff. These people end up being the pizza guys. They set up some stuff in the backyard and started making pizza. Then rachels dad comes home with some folding tables from the bar and basically turned our backyard into the bar. I was impressed. I'm looking forward to my birthday now. =)
In a couple of weeks I am going to throw an "american" party at the request of my brazilian friends. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure the guys will be dissapointed that i didn't import any blonde cheerleaders though.
Its weird how everyone here wants to be blonde with blue eyes like what they think americans look like. In the u.s. everyone wants to be dark and foreign like they think brazilians look. In all honesty though, i look more like what i pictured brazilians looking like. I am the 6th darkest person in a class of thirty people. i don't mind though, after the beach, i have the tan of a lifetime...and it's not even summer here. =DD
So.....
I attend a affluent private school in Brazil...which translates to I attend a school where children study more than any human being should have to. It is an Anglo school and they are like a well known chain of schools here in Brazil. I don't know if this is true of the entire chain but, my school is exceptionally boring(barring my literature class, which i dont understand a word of but, the teacher is so crazy i cant help but stand back in awe). Even the classes i understand are boring. Their math classes in the second year of high school are harder than any math i took in high school. I'm glad i'm not getting graded on my performance here.
I'm always suprised at how much i understand in school. Like last week they were learning about Neo-Nazi's and the KKK and stuff and i understood everything. It was cool. I still don't speak alot but, at least i understand.
Now it is time for me to go do my Português homework =(
Tchau

yea, school pretty much sucks a whole lot. i hate it. i go to anglo too, as you saw, and it is soooo boring. i basically had the exact same reaction that you did except that my lit. teacher is the most boring we have - i like the economics teacher.
it is definitely harder here. i wish we learned as much about world history as they do though - i think some of them know more about the US government than half of my high school did. i need to update my blog so bad. there's way too much to write. my american friend ryan has one too. can i put a link to yours on my page so my family can look if they want? i am putting one to his.
