Week 12

This week wasn’t the best. I kept waking up in the middle of the night all sweaty. At first I thought I had a fever, but I didn’t have any sort of headache, I was just hot plus I was just kind of frustrated with everything. On Monday was Jasmine’s birthday, yet I never found a birthday card to send, so I walked downtown after school and got some postcards. The fact that I wasn’t exactly sure I knew how to get downtown or where to buy postcards put me in the worst mood. Anger problems? Yep, somedays. On Tuesday, I was once again in a bad mood, yet still, over little things. At basketball, the way I played displayed my mood, and I suppose the boys were a little surprised to see me get mad. Haha, whatever. The only good thing I remember about the day was that I watched the 5^th Harry Potter with my little brother. Good thing I am a nerd now. On Wednesday I went downtown to finally send Jasmine her birthday postcard. At basketball I learned how to say like “cocky/annoying” which has already come to great use.  Ronaldo, one of the boys who really knows how to bother me, yet all in good fun, and I played the best out of three 1vs.1 to 5. I beat him in two games. I thought that would make him shut up, yet he still was “fogado” or “cocky/annoying.” Haha. On Thursday, I had a really bad headache so slept almost all evening.

Friday wasn’t bad except for some reason I was really excited for basketball and when I went to leave the house, my mom told me I wasn’t going because I was spending the night at my grandparent’s. She and my dad went to dinner, cute, I know. J My grandpa, who thinks my Portuguese is awful and insists on speaking English with me, was very surprised when I told him “voce nao neccesito falar ingles comigo. Eu quero aprender Portuguese e quando voce fala ingles, voce nao ajuda eu.” (or in English; “you don’t need to speak English with me. I want to learn Portuguese and when you speak English, you don’t help me.”) I’m not going to lie, I surprised myself with that statement as well. On Saturday, I didn’t do much except hang around my grandparents, but I was surprised that I woke myself a little after 9 in the morning. As most of you know, that is very early for me. Haha. I stayed home again on Sunday, but spent the day watching movies with my parents. First we watched “P.S. I love you” which I had never seen before. After, we watched “Extraordinary Measures.” When we watch movies together, we usually watch them in English with Portuguese subtitles so that we can all understand, but the subtitles for “Extraordinary Measures” only caught every other sentence or so. So we watched it in Portuguese, and later I watched it in English. I realized after watching it for the second time in English, I understood a lot more than I thought I had. Go me. Of course, I already know I am going to be very tired tomorrow since I am still awake writing this at 12:43 in the morning. It’ll be a splendid Monday morning for me…
