Mudei as Casas! (I Changed Houses!)

back row: my host brother, his girlfriend, my host sister´s boyfriend´s mom and dad, and my host dad. front row: my host sister´s boyfriend, my host sister, my host mom, me.


Two Mondays ago I finally gave my presentation about Missouri and myself to my host Rotary club. Please, feel free to note how many people are sitting in this particular meeting. There is usually like twelve of us.

Me, some past exchange students(the one in purple is my new neighbor), a future exchange student, and some officials in my club.

The view from my new room. Look! There´s grass!

Tons of it!

My parents will like this one. I live across the street from an Assembly of God church. And if you have nice vision, and you can see the church steeple in the background, my old house is really close to that.

My new room.

A different angle. Haha. I wake up to that little boy mooning me every single morning.

This is funny. It says I only drink after ten. Its hanging where you come into my house.

You may be thinking, why did she put this picture on here? But, if you notice, it says `ta chuvando. I sent this to a friend after a bet about whether it would rain or not, and so when it started to rain, I sent it. It means, ´`it´s raining". Only the thing is, it should actually be, "ta chovendo". But the noun, rain, is "chuva", so logically, I assumed the verb form would be "chuvar", but it´s not, it´s "chover". And so the friend I sent this to teaches and English class and used me as an example and now everyone in this stinkin city knows about it. And everyone laughs and when I tell them to stop laughing they´re like, "Ah, but it´s so cute!" So this is not just any text, is the most famous text in Sao Gotardo and a hard lesson learned for me. :)

My class. We threw a birthday class for the director of our school! And got to miss two classes! Eba!
