This
month has been kind of an interesting month because of the way the tone of my
trip changed. The month started off really really boring, I was really doing
nothing but going to ju jitsu and staying home doing nothing. I was kind of
getting a little anxious and cagy staying in the house all the time, but then
things started to change. My siblings are mostly in college so it was coming to
the end of their vacation so they wanted to go out and hangout with friend and
see the sites. So for about two weeks we would just wake up eat something quick
and then just go out. One day we went to Sao Paulo and went to see the tallest
building in Sao Paulo, and other day we went to this huge book store where I
spent nearly 4 hours in just reading books, one Thursday we spent the day just
watching movies that we never saw before. It was an awesome couple of weeks.
Another
big change was at the end of the month I had to start school again which was
good and bad. The good thing was I got to see all my friends and teachers again
which was nice. The bad thing was I was in school. It can get boring sometimes
because I normally just sit there listening to the teacher or trying to
practice Portuguese, but I am going to talk with my director and see if one day
out of the week or one period a day I can go and help in one of the English
classes to change the pace a little bit. Hopefully everything will work out.
In other news I was able to talk to my ju jitsu and he says I can start competing in tournaments
in March so we will see how well all I actually am against other white belts in
Sao Paulo.
So
January is down, still got February, March, April, May, June , and a little of July to go before this adventure
is over. I am going to make sure that the next couple of months are just as
good as the other were.
