So i woke up today at 8:30, so the plans that i had to go running in the morning failed, so i decided to wear my running clothes to school so that i would have some kind of motivation to exercise. It worked but i always feel lazy during the middle of the day, and i only did a mile and a half, but my legs are sore, so that's a good sign i believe. I had i good lunch i think, my mom wasn't home so i didn't eat rice and beans but just the chicken and a bunch of veggies. YAY!
Yesterday i stayed up late because i was studying, but i had a fun night a bunch of us went to pelourinho to see a new museum open and there was drumming and bahianas dancing. I got some good pictures. Also there was free food and drinks, which is almost a miracle because i have come to the realization that nothing is free in Brazil. But we didn't even pay to get it, crazy to me. Most of us got ice cream before, i tried not to, but Bryant insisted that we share, and the brownie flavor was just to tempting. Good thing i wasn't holding it, because i could have eaten it all. We got Acai afterwords around 8pm, which is something that i am going to miss here in Brazil, its amazing how good it is, and i hope it is as good for you as they say it is because i think something that tastes that good cant be that good for you, it just isn't logical. It fills you up though, i didn't even eat dinner. The only bad thing about that place (where we got the acai) is that it smells awful, the location is horrible, it is near trash or something, im not totally sure.
I had a composition in Portuguese yesterday, i think it went okay, i did better than i thought i was going to do, meaning that i finished within the time limit and didn't stare at the paper for the first 30 minutes thinking about what to write. The book i am writing on is less than interesting though. Or i guess i could say that it just isn't a story that i would want to read. It is about a young poor girl living in the favelas of rio who only eats hot dogs and she is dirty, skinny, and unloved. And in the end she goes to a fortune teller (because she realizes that her life sucks) and then after the teller tells her that she is going to have good luck in the future, she gets hit by a yellow mercedes benz and dies! Awful story right!?
Tonight we are going out to Pelourinho again to go to the salsa club one last time all together, i hope everyone goes. It will be so fun to hang out with everyone one last time before we all go back to our real lives and next week we have to study because it is finals in both classes. I also have a paper due in Portuguese, where i dont know my topic yet, also a presentation due in Portuguese about that awful book.
