Week 8

I had another good week, though nothing in particular happened. I read lots of Harry Potter at school this week since I don't understand what else is going on. On our math test, I managed to get a few points which I have gotten very few of on all the tests. Haha. Basketball keeps getting better. The boys and I all get along very well and they are all so funny. The one boy is named Douglas so I showed him the song "Teach Me How To Dougie." He thought it was so cool that a song had his name in it. Haha. I'll have to teach him the dance later. :P

On Thursday, it was a year since Megan passed away so I had a tough day. At home, there was a candle lighting commemoration in her honor, so I lit a candle here and listened to one of her cd's. It was very nice...but I wish I could've spent the day with Courtney.

On Friday, after school, I went to Sao Paulo with some of my classmates. We rode a coach bus, which was different for sure. We went to a miltary museum and a mall. On the way to the museum I saw 2 real prostitutes, it was definately  something I had to double take, and so were the people I saw sitting along walls doing drugs. But, the museum was suprisingly really neat. In the mall we had a couple hours free time to eat and shop before seeing a show. I spent most of the time with the boys in my class playing a Brazilian card game called trucca or something. But I also went along with some girls a year or so younger than me. They were trying to pick up guys which is what Kyele and I used to do at Ski Liberty, but to my suprise being American was definately an advantage. Haha. The play was called PMS Katrina in English and histarical. It was from her husbands point of view and though it was in Portuguese, I understood a good bit. On Sunday, I went to a little boy's first birthday party... his dad works with mine. It was really fun. It was kind of like at a Chuck E. Cheese and AllStar mixed except the games were all free. I played a game similar to Air Hockey with my little brother for like a good thirty minutes and played a lot of RockBand because there was a stage in the arcade area set up with a big, widescreen tv, and 2 guitars and drumset. :) It was a good time.
