7-7-07
There are probably a billion weddings going on right now in the States. It's July. No school. The date has 3 sevens in it. Saturday.....hmmmm.... it's the first Saturday all year that I don't know someone gettin' married! joking....but 7 of my friends have gotten married since January. Noel, you were the first!
It has been pouring on and off all day. The sun has peaked through a few times. It's nice. I started to hate the rain here these past few months, but today I like it. Emily went to help a new American couple who arrived this past week move into their apartment. So, I've been here all morning by myself. I cleaned the green bathroom (I'll take a picture of the ugliness and post it later), swept/mopped my room, the kitchen, living room and have done 2 loads of laundry. The confetti cake my mom sent me for my birthday is baking in the oven. I made a lettuce wrap with cheese, ham and onion (ham was the only option) for lunch. I feel so accomplished!
MY ENGLISH! It's gonna be bad when I get home....
13 days left. And it feels like only a month or two have gone by. It's the weirest thing, guys, to be in a different world for one year... to say the least. I moved out of my family's house last Tuesday. All of my stuff is at the Sede now. I've been trying to organize all my crap and decide who to give what to. You should see all the stuff I've accumulated this year. And we only get one suitcase on the way back. The people who purchased our tickets weren't thinking and bought our domestic flight seperate from our international flight, therefore, only allowing domestic weight limits. We'll see how that works out....
oh ya and Russell and Janna got engaged yestuday!!
Gotta go get the cake out!!
ate mais...tchau!
(a few hours later)
The cake is DELICIOSOOO!!!! meu deus....que bolo gostosissimo!

You Know You're Brazilian When...

don't show up until 2:30 or 3:00 p.m.

family get together....even when you guys see each other everyday.

7)BBQ means steak, sausage, chicken wings, pork, rice, farofa, molho
and beer.
8)You are the loudest person in the room.

your stuff, you take presents for the entire family, the dog, the
