Todo mundo II...

Hey there again! We have the internet for free on the weekends, so I got to hop on the internet at hope. My host mom and sister are gone, although I'm not sure where they went. The daughter of the lady that comes to work around our house is staying with us this weekend so we could get to know her. So right now I'm hanging out with a 7 year old that only speaks Portuguese. Juliana (Juju) is having a blast playing games on my phone, and answered it when mom called this evening. She's so cute. Her mom works really hard here in our house, and only comes here 3 days a week so she can work in 2 other houses. She has 3 children, and I don't know if any of their dads pay child support. Tomorrow I am going to go back to the office for our program to look at some different classes to take. When we went on our tour of the campuses on Friday, I saw in the library a book about international communication and got really excited. Maybe I will take an international communication here to go towards my com major. I think it would be an interesting perspective to get on international communication, internationally. Everyone in the program is telling us that classes don't really start until after Carnival, but I would like to go and see if the classes are good before I am stuck in them for the semester. Everyone here in Salvador is preparing for Carnival. It is really funny because a lot of tourists are coming here to pass Carnival, and I am getting pissed off at all of the damn tourists! Although I am a foreigner, I am trying hard not to be a stupid tourist. Ok, I guess I'm going to go for now. I will let you know how the class search goes, and the preparing for Carnival. Take care everyone! Beijinhos <3

"Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky"

Glad to find out you made it to Brazil safely and are having fun
