Sleep PLEASE!!!
Oi, this week has been one of the best weeks in Brasil.
I didn't have school on monday or tuesday. So while you canadians were enjoying a nice turkey dinner I was enjoying one of the beautifulest beachs in the world.. I went to the beach with my exchange friends. We went to Joaquina beach. The sand was so soft. We took many pictures and met lots of neat people. It was a windy day or we would have went sandboarding too. My friends Iliana (mexicana), Andrea (mexicana) e, Lea (german) all slept over so at night we went to lagoa. It was nice. we had so much fun, I tryed konepizza. It's pizza in a cone it looks like ice cream. Then the next morning I made some CANADIAN pancakes. I don't like pancakes so they weren't that good, but my friends said they liked them :) School on wensday was so boring. No surprise.. It always is. but now i'm starting to understand more and more. I still can't speak very well but it's much easyer to understand. One thursday and friday At school we had the "olympics" I didn't go on friday because i was so tired. But thrusday it was good. :)
I went to a club on hip hop night. SO MUCH FUN! I stayed all night. But i only got 3 hours of sleep because the next day i had octoberfest. That was even more amazing! There was lots of german music and it was a really great party. I enjoyed it. But I was really tired the whole time. And that night i only got 5 hours of sleep. So right now i'm Very tired.

Live like theres no tomorrow
So i didn't go for a run. Yet. But i did go for a walk does that count?
Well I've been so busy this week. I went to the mall on Thursday with Iliana and Andrea, So much fun,, We met some bonitinhos.. It was funn.. But iwas a little late getting home because i got on the wrong bus. It wasmy first time at that mall and i wasn't 100% sure on how to get home. But i learned to ask the driver BEFORE you get on the bus.
My portuguese is getting soo much better! I had my first conversation with Sebastine It was so funny were were talking about drake and Josh (the t.v show) and he kept calling it drake and jorge. and i asked him what one he likes better he told me drake and asked me the same thing. I said Drake too. He asked me why so i said because he is Gatinho. That means small cat. But it also means cute. So i believe i confused him.. That was the end of our conversation. AHAHA
I can have conversations with people but, I don't say much. I can almost follow conversations but they need to be slow and i need to really listen and pay attention.
I went to my first club. It was so much fun. I enjoyed it very much. But it was really crowed and hot. But i love to dance so it was great.
I love being 16. I feel so powerful! :D
At school I wrote a test of many subjects and got 14 out of 40. I was so proud of myself. I didn't even get the worst mark :D

feliz aniversario :D
So on Friday night i planed on going to a mustash party.. *Don't ask*
but Arina and I both fell asleep while watching t.v :P Euro trip i believe..
Well on saturday we dicied to go to the mall. We were going to watch a movie at the cinima (love. pray. eat) but saddly it was sold out. :( so we looked around all the stores it was funn.. I baught two sweaters. We were home by ten. When we got home i was soo tired even though i didn't do anything the nighth before. But Arina asked if i wanted to go with her to lagoa. Hearing all the exchange students after their exchanges say things like you can always sleep later and never turn anything down, I agreed to go. SO GLAD I DID!! it was soo much fun. There was so much to see and do. I ate at subway.. Not the same as canada but it'll do. The man there was kind of mean. Then we just went around lagoa looking and walking.
On sunday i got up early no idea how i managed that. My host family took me out to celebrate my birthday on monday. We went sandboarding. Which let me tell you soo much fun. But i think is much harder than snowboarding. I fell a lot and i pulled almost every muscle in my body.

Dont i look like a pro??!
then we went to the top of the montain that looks out over lagoa.. It was soo neat you could see so far and so much. Then we went to a resturant where i ate CANADIAN soup.. It didn't taste good at all.. I don't think it was canadian there was nothing canadian about it..
On my brithday i woke up and got to eat waffles :) I was so excited right there it was my best birthday ever! then i was almost late for school :S but i ran so i made it in time. After a long day of school iliana came over and we ate brigdairo and cake.. Not just one cake but TWO cakes! :D soo good. It w\s the best SWEET 16 EVER!! :D
Today i went to the post office all by myself. It was easy. I understood what the lady was saying... kind of. I think they were asking me about beer and if i liked. I was just kind of like huh? But my letters got sent to my family back in Canada.
SO things just keep getting better and better. I love it here and am loving it more and more each and everyday.
My portuguese isn't too good but i'm trying my best. I will stop all englsih. I keep saying that. And i keep saying i will join the gym.
I think i love food too much. The rotary 30 wasn't a lie. It happens. So i should start running but i'm always too lazy. or tired. boo.. Everyday i just think ohh i'll run tomorrow or the next day and i never just do it. but it's hot out right now. I'm in shorts :) and early walking i was sweating from the heat. i have no idea how i will live here in the summer. i hope they dont get any record breaking heat days..
