Oi gente,
Yeah, I’m still
alive. I haven’t posted anything for a long time, but it has a serious reason:
I changed
my host family.
To
the majority it will be a little shock, because I’ve never told that I wanted
to this. I don’t wanna talk about the reasons, just: sometimes it just not
should be.
And for me it was the right decision.
I’m
still living in Varginha, just in another part of the city now.
With
my new host family I’m getting along really well and I enjoyed the first weeks
here so much.
I
have 3 host sisters now: one is older than me and she’s finishing school at the
moment, a nearly 14-years old one and a little one with just 10 month.
My
host parents have a car repair shop next to our house and I know a lot of the employers
who’re working there too.
All
my host uncles, aunts and their kids are living close to our house too, so I
can see them often.
In
my first week I made a spontaneous trip to São Paulo with my uncle, one of my
host sisters (the 13 year old one) and my cousin to pick up his dad. He was in
Ceará (state in the north of Brazil) for 3 weeks to visit his family there.
We
went there in the evening and arrived at midnight. Before meeting my host uncle
we had a midnight snack at Mc Donald’s. It was a cool trip and when we arrived
in Varginha again in the morning I didn’t have to go to school :D
One
of my first weekends here I spent “na Roça” because my family has a house
there. With 3 floores it’s really big, but at the moment we can just use the
first one.
We
went their Friday evening after I came back from my tests and stayed there until
Sunday evening.
The
house is near a river and we made a little boat trip one it on Sunday. I took some photos because the nature is
really great. The exchange student from Thailand, my new family hosted last
year, said it looks like Pantanal.
I
enjoyed the time with my family there because every day some family members and
friends arrived and stayed for some time.
And
of course: the food was too good – like always *-*
School
is getting more and more boring. I like some subjects like math, physics,
English for example, but some other are really boring. I try to understand them
but it’s so boring so I do other things in school. At the moment I mostly
reading stories or writing some by myself.
Since
my last entry the 3 month mark are already over. And another really important
mark:
100 Dias!!! 100 DAYS!!! 100 TAGE!!!
I
can’t believe it yet, but the time is really flying. There are “only” 200 days
left and at the moment I can’t imagine going home so soon. But of course I’m
missing my German family and friends too and I can’t wait to see them again in
some month.
The
last five day I stayed in Cabo Frio with my two host sisters and my uncle’s
family. I’m going to write something about this holidays soon – I promise it ;)
Beijos
do Brasil pra vcs,
Sandra
