I really have to actively want to enjoy this.
Like three hours of the day are ohhh coool Brasil.
The rest is boredom or confusion or...boredom.
Like I know people will read this and tell me all sorts of like enjoy it blah blah blah
and I know...I tell my self that every morning. But for now it is really hard and I hope within the next few weeks I will not have to MAKE my self have a good time...
Aww I hope things get better. A new place with strange people is always hard. I say strange because they believe all these stereotypes when it comes to an American diet, yet they drink Coke errday! j/k kind of (o.0) And as far as the clothes being expensive and what not....I think you should take advantage of that opportunity. Email me sometime.
ReplyDeleteRachel I am so proud of you for wanting to make the best out of your experience. From what I've heard, and i dearly wish i could give you advice from my own experience, is that you really won't be able to be totally comfortable for 3 or 4 months, when you become fluent. So just make the best out of these first few learning months and party party party. Rotary would hate me for saying this, but that is how you meet people and learn the language the best. I so so envy you but i know you are the BEST person for the exchange and you will come out of it a changed woman, with a bitchin tan and some briliant portuguesa. I love you. I wish i could be there. have a fantastic time.
