90th day in Brazil

Just a few moments ago Mollie reminded me that today is our 90th day in Brazil. I cant believe that i just spent the last 3 full months here, it has been amazing. I always under estimate the experience of living abroad. I think this is the last program i will do during college unless i do a summer abroad, but i want to travel soon after. I always get the travel bug after being away from home, even if it is always nice to come home after being away.

I know my sister is excited for me to come home because she wants her presents and wants me to make her food, because she is sort of incapable of making her on food, and that is why she eats chevy's a lot or making Joe's Crab shack has changed her and she now eats seafood, who knows. No, wait it is Stephannie, she isn't eating seafood. Although i do miss a lot of the food from the United States and am not that excited about that as i am to have to availability to work out and get back in shape. I have been wearing shorts and dresses for the last 3 months and now i need to go back to my jeans.

Yesterday we tried to have a little flashback reunion and go to Pelourinho and dance like we did the first week we were here. The first time was fun we all danced and got to know each other, and this time i wanted everyone to be like that again and just have fun. But because we have been here for 3 months, groups have formed and people that are closer to each other hang out with each other. And there is more of a division among the group. It sucks but it always happens, but i think it was a good effort, a lot of people went to Pelourinho, but not everyone went into the bar like we all did in the beginning. It is kinda suiting because i wanted it to feel like the beginning all over again, because i don't want it to be over. But the reality is, is that it is ending, and it will be over and it couldn't have been like the beginning because its the end.

The tourist season is coming in the Brazil and many Brazilians think that we have just arrived, but we have been here for what seems like forever, and we have grow comfortable and familiar with the city. There is a huge difference from visiting a place than living in it. You actually feel like you live here, and not totally out of place.

Tomorrow is thanksgiving, and it is going to be the first thanksgiving that i haven't been with my family, it will feel awkward but i don't think it will be that bad. I will miss some of the food that we cant get here in Brazil. But we are going to have a thanksgiving at our friend Matt's house and we will be all together so that it will be fun and we'll give thanks for having this wonderful experience all together, happiness and health. :)
