oiii meu amigos.

so it's been over a month. my apologies! today I have officially been in brasil for 3 months. I won't say I am always too busy to be writing on here, but i am either busy, or too tired to make the effort. lol. that's what 7 am school does to me everyday.
update-
I changed host families last weekend! I was so incredibly nervous about this, you have no idea. Here's my situation,
hello, this is my first time meeting you, but I'm going to live in your house for three months even though I know nothing about you and most of the time have no idea what you're saying.
luckily for me, me and my new host mother click really good. she's a single lady, her children and grown and out of the house, she's hilarious and is so nice to me. I already feel so at home in her house and I am loving life. shes a lawyer and travels alot, and lucky for me I get to go along! my first weekend here we traveled to a city 3 hrs away and saw a concert of a very famous rock band in brasil. we even got VIP access, it was so fun!
I am going on my beach tour of the North East in just around 12 days! I am so excited! I can't wait.
I leave on November 18 and come back the 18 of December, by the time I get back to my town it will be summer time and school will be out! It's crazy because I just came out of a muskoka summer! school doesn't go back until around February I think.
I am so happy! my portuguese is getting so much better. I can understand mostly everything people are saying, I can decently write and read, but I am still having some problems speaking. my mouth just doesn't seem to want to make the sounds! and the verbs are killing me. but I am getting better for sure.
I am definitely missing canada these days, it's so crazy to think I haven't seen my friends, family, home, school, town, country, even my continent in three months. I never thought I would experience anything like that at such a young age- I'm living in a different continent, with no family or friends, where they speak a different language, and I am only 16. intense!

for example about how awesome my mom is, she's blasting "footloose" from the other room.

tchau tchau for now, and I promise I will write again before my trip!!!
