Week 9

This week was one of the best yet, even though I got sick again. Haha. On Tuesday, I got a fever and my nose became the most runny again. I found out though, that some of my other exchange friends have been sick basically the whole time they have been here as well. On Wednesday, I had a basketball game with my club. The team I played on wasn't the usual boys I play with, I guess boys a year or two younger who weren't as good. It was fun to play in a game though, like with a score board and refs (even if they were just the older boys.) Since after the game we had practice, a couple of the boys and I went to a store up the street to get snacks in between since they were all at the gym to ref and watch. They kept trying to make me say cuss words and other bad things to each other. Luckily, I learned most of the bad words in my first week or so, so I didn't embarrass myself too bad. I lifted with the boys after which felt so good. I missed lifting for sure. :) I wish I knew how many kg were in a lb though so I could know how much I was lifting. I also stopped being afraid to go to the basket and stuff, so I started scoring a lot more than just the open 3's I take. It feels really good to be playing like hard. Especially with such a fun group. :)

On Friday, I went and watched my little brother's school team play soccer. He is so good, like I know I say that almost weekly, but it's true. The family and I went to pizza after basketball practice and my parents told me I could have friends over for my birthday. :) Yesterday, I went to my first real soccer game with rotex! It was so much fun! :) :) :) The team, Corinthians, which my family happens to be crazy about is who we saw. It was a tie game and just crazy. Like the fans get so into it. It was really fun though. Jordann and I were trying to be all Brazilian and mock what all the other fans said. It was quite entertaining. She, Favi, and I went missing basically for a while, because we misunderstood the plans of the day. We thought that after the museum, we could go for lunch in the tents right outside the stadium because they said, "after the museum, you will  have  abreak for lunch." At the last event, we had like 3 hours of freetime in a mall for lunch, so that's what we figured we would have at the game. Big misunderstanding because Rotex got the most upset with us because they thought we were missing. It was not a good situation at all, though we are not missing...and I am alive. :)
