Sorry, I have been procrastinating updating this. Blah blah blah. So, Sunday is Halloween, and NOBODY HERE GOES TRICK'R'TREATING! ): Halloween doesn't exist betweent he ages of 15 and 17. You can be anything you want when you're 5, but once you are 17, you have to be a slutty maid. :/
So, instead, I will hangout with Gabe and Felipe on Halloween and eat Reese's. :D ... Hopefully. Also, going to Santos, (a beach town) on Monday with Casper and the Roteract people. (:
Ugh, don't really have anything else to share. So, I am going to go now.
Tchau, beijos. (:

Weekend Recap.
So, it is now Friday, and I am just now recapping last weekend. It was a four day weekend thanks to holidays! Tuesday was "Children's Day" which means, no school Monday or Tuesday.
Friday (Sexta): after school, I have no idea what I did. I don't remember that far ago.
Saturday (Sabado): Woke up, went to Sonja's (a friend of my host mom) house, ate lunch (rice, beans, salad, oranges, orange juice, and chocolate for dessert), went to the aquarium (just my luck that my camera was dead so I couldn't take any pictures), went to the grocery store (bought salmon, tomatoes, grapes, and other unidentifiable foods), went back to Sonja's house for dinner (pizza with Cecilia my host mother, Sonja and her husband Yo, and Marisa and her husband Renato, they are also friends of my host mom, who also happen to be Rotarian's.) Stayed at Sonja's house until about midnight (that's pretty normal around here, even on school nights), came home, and SLEPT.
Sunday (Domingo): Woke up bright and early (on my own, while Cecilia slept in, then got yapped at for sleeping too much), again went to Sonja's house (only so we could carpool this time, didn't stay til midnight, THANK GOD), drove far away to meet up with a lady that brought me stuff from Alaska (long drive, not fun with 3 overly happy old people, and had a headache. In my package I received some good ole Reese's, skittles, and ankle braces for gymnastics. Those are just the important things.) Went to Marisa and Renato's house for lunch (stayed til midnight.. had dinner there, and played "Uno" the worst card game EVER. I suggest never playing it with a group of easily excited, happy, old, women. Did NOT have fun with that at all.), went back to Sonja's house to get our car, came home, Skyped, and SLEPT.
Monday (Segunda): Again, woke up early (on my own, while Cecilia slept in, then got yapped at for sleeping too much), went to the host grannys for lunch (pasta, rice, beans, GUARANÁ! Best drink ever), sat at there house for a few hours, went to the movies with Cecilia, (saw Grown Up's, VERY funny movie. VERY FUNNY. Cecilia didn't like it), had dinner at the shopping place, went home, Skyped, showered, slept.
Tuesday (Terça): Once again, went to Sonja's house (lunch: pasta, spicy curry, rice, orange juice, salad, oranges, and cake for dessert. Meals don't vary much here.), went to the Zoo (Safari Zoo, it was really cool, could practically touch the animals if you had the guts to do it), went back to Sonja's house, had pizza, again, sat at her house until midnight because Cecilia wanted to watch soaps with Sonja.
Now that you know what I did, let's see how things are going.. Right now, not too well. I am not quite as happy as could be here. I feel like I am living in Cecilia's shadow, and not being able to live my own life here. She makes all of my decisions for me, and makes me go everywhere with her. Or, other days will be like today, I wake up and she is not home. She leave's no note, doesn't tell me anything.. Just vanishes. I am supposed to be living her until mid February, but I don't think I will survive if I do that.. I will be talking to Rotary on Tuesday at our next meeting, about switch families sooner than February. But, we all know how worthless Rotary can be at times. School is getting better, but still not great. All in all, I am just thankful that I have a roof over my head, and food on the table... Occasionally! Cecilia doesn't like to cook, AT ALL. So she doesn't by much food because we always go out to eat. So all we ever have to eat here is bread, butter, and juice.
That's enough about me complaining.. On the brighter side of things, I AM GOING TO THE BEACH ON SATURDAY!!!!!! Wahooo! A little sad thought because I had plans with Gabe and Felipe to go to Chinatown on Saturday. But, we are going to do that next weekend instead. (:

DEATH.
So, I have not been feeling too well lately. Having headaches and stomachaches all the time. I feel like I am going to die. It all started with a headache, took some Tylenol, and didn't take food... Then it all went down hill from there. I now know why they say don't take Tylenol on an empty stomach. I currently do NOT have a headache. However, my stomach feels like a big ball of nasty crap.. Literally, I have to poop every 10 minutes. People tell me to eat more, but when I eat, it just gets worse. UGHHH. I feel like I am on my death bed.. No, death toilet. ):
But, other than that.. NO SCHOOL MONDAY OR TUESDAY! :D
Possibly even the rest of the week, all depends on what my host mom decides. Might be going to the beach on Wednesday, but might not. It's a complicated situation of which I know nothing about.
Well, that's all I have for now. I am going to go poop again.
Tchau.

Homesick. :/
UGHH!!
So, the last week and a half I haven't been up to much. I haven't gone to school in about a week, other than today. Everyone at my school was taking their standardized tests, and since I don't speak the language yet, I didn't have to take the tests.. or even go to school. (: However, during my week of no school, it was rather rainy so I couldn't do much of anything outside. And as we all know, the computer can get a little boring at times. So, after studying Portuguese a little bit everyday, and checking Facebook, I had plenty of extra time to miss Alaska. Now, I am officially homesick. ):
As I said in a earlier post, I was had plans for a good weekend, however, not all of those plans fell in place. Friday, I did not get to go shopping with the other inbounds because they didn't want to spend 2 hours on metros, trains, buses, etc.. So, instead I did nothing. BUT on Saturday I FINALLY got to see the world's worst procrastinator, Grandpa Gabe! (:
That was quite the adventure.. He got us lost.. In a park.. HOW DO YOU GET LOST IN A PARK?! Then once we got unlost, we had to walk through the city back to his apartment, during this entire time, he made me carry all his crap! And it was hot outside. When we finally got back to his apartment, he had NOTHING to eat, or drink. I wanted to kill him! So, instead I just beat him up. (:
Other than that, I have been up to a whole lot of NOTHING.
Tchau,
beijos.
PS.. Today is my host Dad, Paulo's, birthday.
