I have assignments due. Today. But yeah, I have yet to start on those...And I won't be getting home til late today...so bascially, I telling myself that I have to get this stuff done, but am kind of afraid that it won't. Story of my life!! Nobody knows you better than yourself :)
I must apologize for abandoning my blog for over a week. I had just been spilling my guts out to actual people and getting some sort of a feedback vs...well...no, but it's all good. Really though, to be completely honest...I just have nothing else to do right now...ok, that's not entirely true either since I did say that I had alot of homework to do, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! I'm over facebook, I've been in a lab since 8:00 am, and still have a couple of hours to go on the "familiarization" portion of this protocol...i.e. 15 rats with 10 min sessions each...yep...I'm actually enjoying myself though...I'm beginning to wonder if I'm actually a born again loner or something...you'd think that being a a foreign country for the first time on your own that you would want to cling to anything familiar and comfortable. I find myself wanting the complete opposite. It's like the more uncomfortable the situation, the more I want to be there and explore that...not only that, but I think I'd even rather do it all by myself...weird? So, obviously there are more intimate thoughts that I could share but that's what a personal journal is for...well, for me its my email messages to Candi and Hajra. So I've just saved our email conversation, and if there ever came a time where I would want someone to read them...I would have to edit and sensor the hell out of it. Can't help it.
Yeah, as you can imagine, ALOT has happened since the last time I blogged...blah blah blah, Dorian came in from Curitiba...blah blah blah....went to a nice dinner followed by my watching everyone get drunk, haha...blah blah blah...I made out with some RANDOM (need to find out how to say "random" or its equivalent in Portuguese cause I most def say that alot) definately sexy, definately drunk Brasillian guy, named Felipe, or however you spell it. Good weekend for sure...Was planning on winding down the weekend on Sunday by going over Dr. Padua and Jania's home to eat a little lunch, watch some Copo do Mundo action...then head home say at about 5pm or so, ya know, after the game...if you know anything about then you know that when I start with a more than perfect senario then, the actual event are nothing close!!! I ended up getting drunk and didn't get home til 9 or 10 pm...I was totally screwed on Monday, to the point of where I had to go home early!!!!
The title of this blog is dedicated to Hajra. We don't have that "Vanessa and Hajra" quote book for no reason...which by the way, I spent over 2 hours hand-crafting while at work listening to Arab Money and Amplifier on repeat...2 weeks of summer life in the states was all I got :( It's not worth asking about what were talking about for that quote to come out of her mouth...
I'm also getting really excited about the upcoming year!!! I know it's going to be great!!! I hate to think that I won't be in Brasil anymore, but I think I'll come back, for what, I don't know, but I know I'll come back...so, now I don't have to be so sad about leaving!! I could totally live here and be straight. I'd miss my fam and my lovers of coarse but...there's just something different about the way people are here...its so hard to explain. Its just so obvious that the mentally here is more "worldly" than in the US. Like, EVERYONE travels to other countries, frequently and at a young age...they know of a bigger world that I don't think very many Americans are aware of. Americans go on vaca and travel as Americans. If you're think what I'm thinking than your thinking, well what's the point? You come back as you were. Sounds kinda dull to me. So I'm in love with this part of Brasil. I want to see more!! More of Brasil and more of the WORLD!!!!!
Have I ever mentioned that I completely and utterly lucked out by getting put in Dr. Padua's lab?
