I've forgotten what it's like when a friend goes away, and that feeling you get inside like you might never see them again.

Finally, I've arrived at that long awaited spring break. man i can't really remember what it's like to have one since i never had one at my university in brazil. as i watch this semester dwindle away i can't help but wonder what the hell i want to do after i graduate? many of my friends are graduating and taking a year off to go travel, some are ( Read more... )

so i got back three days ago and what's there to say? it's nice seeing my family again, but other than that i'm not really happy to be back. hopefully seeing my friends should change that, but will it really? some things are nice like i can go get pretty much anything i want at the grocery store and i can go eat pretty much whatever kind of food i ( Read more... )

so it's my last day in vicosa and second to last in brazil. i've been here for the past 8 months and what is there to say? i don't want to go back. i want to stay for another 6 months. why? i like it here a lot more that in the states. i don't know why i do, but i guess it's hard to explain unless you've traveled a bit. actually it is hard to ( Read more... )

just got back from rio de janeiro and niteroi and heading to belo horizante and after to campo grande and bonito. only two weeks left and i'm already starting to feel like i'm already gone. rio was cool and so was niteroi, but i didn't get to do all of the stuff i wanted, because it was too expensive and the weather wasn't very good at the ( Read more... )
