Faz Tres Meses que...(It's Been Three Months Since...)

As I have almost been in Brazil for three months now, there are some things I have come to realize I haven't done in quite some time. Things that I did very regularly in the United States. And now, I would like to share them. Here goes. In three months I haven't...

1. eaten a single thing off the McDonald's menu. (or any other fast food restuarant for that matter)
2. stepped foot inside a single Wal-Mart store. (or any other chain super-center)
3. watched a movie in the movie theater.
4. purchased one song from iTunes.
5. worked a single day of paid-labor.
6. driven.
7. bought a single tube of Chapstick. (which may seem like nothing, unless you really know me! hehe)
8. been to a Pentecostal church service..
9. watched a single episode of Chuck, The Office, or The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
10. been in the same room with a single member of my family or friend from the United States.

And surprisingly, I am well, happy, and still thriving! Its amazing! The things I never thought I could do! However, I know I will not got the entire time here without buying a song off iTunes, and I will eventually run out of Chapstick. But three months is a long time.
Generally, everything is going well. Graduation/prom is approaching! I'm so incredibly excited! And this time I will take pictures to share! School is getting better. I am understanding more but I still think its kind of a drag. But, honestly, I felt the same, if not worse, about school in the United States. And on the every-Thursday-quiz two weeks ago, I was the only to answer one of the math questions right! EBA! YAY!

On Saturday I have to change families. Which I'm pretty much dreading. But my wonderful host mom assured me that this would be my house the same way and I could stop by whenever I wanted or go to Matutina with them to vistit my host grandma. And my nest family is really excited about me staying with them, which I hope correlates with being welcoming and kind. Whatever happens, I will make it work! POSITIVENESS!
