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. (:
