New stuff

Brazilians are so relaxed and chill about everything.  They are almost never on time, which if you know me; I’m always at least ten minutes early.  It’s so nice to not have to worry about things.  School is supposed to start at 7AM but we don’t actually start until 7:20AM so everyone can get there.  Parties that start at 9PM, no one shows up until 11PM.  And every time you go over to someone’s house, they offer you food.  And the food is always amazing.  The other week I went over to my friend Natalia’s house to watch a movie, and she made the most delicious chocolate thing for us to eat.  It was condensed milk (or something like that) and some kind of chocolate mixed together.  I’d never had anything chocolate that was that good.  Another really amazing thing I had this past weekend was this peanut butter thing, it was about the size as a stack of ten quarters.  It was amazing.  I spent the weekend with my Aunt and cousin, who will be my mom and sister later in the year.  My sister and I went to see Batman in Portuguese in the cinema, and it was really good.  I had seen it before in the US, so I knew what we going on, and it was cool to see it again.  My sister and I also got these bracelets on The Square in Paracatu.  You make a wish, tie it on, and when it falls off, your wish comes true.  So I will be wearing this bracelet for about seven years until it falls off.  I also updated some pictures on facebook for people to see.
