Monday…..

Everything seemed the same today. Homework, work, school, essay… Also today I had my first Algebra test. It wasn’t hard; I did everything what was asked on the test. To be honest, I didn’t even study this weekend. I didn’t have time, the weekend passed and I didn’t even feel it!!
This College Algebra class is easier than that Intermediate Algebra that I’d took last semester, maybe because I already took this College Algebra in Brazil, and now I’m just remembering the things that I’ve already studied. However, my goal is to keep my GPA, not missing class, going to the recitations, doing my homework, and also paying attention to the classes is helping me to get in to the topics, and improve my understanding of math in English.

The city..


Friday night…..How I’d written before, I love weekend. Last Friday I went out for diner in NYC. My friend friend’s has an apartment in Tribeca on the 14th floor; and the view of the city is great. It was a little cold; however, we went up to the roof to check the view there as well. I was fascinated; I love the city, the lights, and the tall buildings. I could feel closer of the life I had before US. I used to live on the 14th floor as well. My city was not big as NYC, but not bored and small as New Canaan. The city is a place where I wish to be. The suburban with the nice houses, nice pieces of lands, doesn’t supply my necessity of see people, hear noises, and have everything that I want…..anytime I want.

Valentines


Pos Valentine’s Day.

Last night my friends and I had celebrated Valentine’s Night in a great style. I invited them to come over have a little wine and dinner. The main dish was Salmon with cauliflower and asparagus, it was awesome. Also we had the wine…LOL…and the best part was the desert. A wonderful brownie, with hot fudge, strawberry, and French vanilla ice cream!!!!

This year it was very nice, last year I didn’t have a good Valentine’s Day. I was all the way down to Miami, and I got very sick, I couldn’t enjoy either the weather or the Valentine’s Night. However, this year Feb 14th worth it. Good friends, good food, good wine, good movie, and an excellent time.

Weekend...please


Today I fell really tired. I’ve been driving almost day long, doing laundry, reading book, and also doing my grammar assessments. I had to write for my grammar class about the experience of being a middle child; it wasn’t the worse part, because I’ve lived it. Besides the writing, I had to look up for 10 new adjectives and their synonyms, and make phases with the new words.

Also the Honky book takes me a while to figure out all those new words; however, I feel like learning more than ever. The best part of this is…tomorrow is Friday, and form my supper happiness Monday is holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week I’ve thinking about weekend since last Monday, however…I’m almost there!!!!

"Places I call home"

In the US I fell as a homeless, I don’t have my own space; I don’t have my family and friends, and also has the problem of cultural contrast.


Places I call home.....maybe Brazil I don’t know. I have been living in the US for almost 3 years, then I don’t know about the feeling of going back to live there. Maybe when I come back I’ll give the exactly importance to my roots, or maybe I feel like that isn’t my place either.

In contrast, have two places in Brazil where I feel really enjoy being. One is a mountain city, kind of winter city, where I used to go for the winter festival. The city name is Campos do Jordao, Sao Paulo. The other one is named Maresias, also in Sao Paulo state. Maresias is a coast city, with clean sand and warm water, where the sun shines almost all year long.
