another week in paradise :)

hey guys, so another week in paradise has passed. humph. time is flying and its definitely not fair at all.

okay, so ive pretty much given up writing day to day in my diary unless there are thoughts or feelings that i need to write down, because i do a account of events here every week, so whats the point in writing it twice? (its also easier reading this than my handwriting in my diary) 

aah, as im writing this, im catching up on a good bit of triple j. god i miss it so much. they play all that mainstream crap music over here too like lady gaga and britany spears and all that other stuff that i dont like at all. i thought i would maybe get away from it over here, but it seems that they are even more justin beiber obsessed over here than in aus, which is quite sickening. lol

ive gone a bit download crazy lately, and have downloaded heaps of olden golden music that i would normally just go to the cd rack at home when i wanted to listen to it, as well as some classic favorites that i was just craving, as well as a few musicals thrown . lets see... i now have some... Beatles, Bob , Boz Scaggs, Bryan Adams, Cat Stevens, Crowded House, Eagles, Elton John, Hootie and the Blowfish, Hunters and collectors, Jimmy Barnes, John Lenon, Meatloaf, Paul Kelly, Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Sting and the police, U2, powderfinger, INXS, silverchair, oh, and les miserables, and the phantom of the opera  :)
good mix if you ask me.

this week has been a good week, the greve (strike) at school of the teachers is finally over, so i have had total classes with all the teachers for the first time in 2 months... not that it really affects me though, i just sleep a lot. hahaha
i sent some more postcards, which involved a hell of a lot of writing. im sorry if you only get one this year, but you have got to realise that my poor hand needs a break, and cant be writing soo tiny constantly. hahaa there are a lot of people to send postcards to. i was talking to my friend kett, from over here on MSN while i was writing, and she asked where was hers, so i got out my cool aussie writing paper and envelopes and wrote her a letter (in english, so its a good thing she understands english) and she told me that she got it on friday! hahahaha

went out yet again on friday with my friends to savassi (yes this is a regular thing) and had yet again, more crazy random fun. i always seem to come home from savassi with no exchange student cards left in my little container, and 10 more friends that i have to remember the names of! its really fun and its a really great way to meet more people!

friday night, after savassi, we left to go to the farm.

saturday, we just sort of slobbed watching movies, which was fun, and i managed to make great advancements with my Rubix cube! only to completly stuff it up again, with no idea of how to get it back to where i had it :( stupid thing.

i will get it one day though. and no! for the last time, im not looking up the instructions on the net, or pulling it apart and putting it back together correctly, because where would the fun be in that? i promise that i will have either solved it before i come back to australia, or have gone mad in the process.  lol
i got to ride one of the horses at the farm too. :) that was fun, i love horses :)

so now im home again, its sunday night, i am picking up the courage to get a haircut tomorrow (apparently hairdressers in brasil cant be trusted, but im desparate for a trim, coz my ends are feeling ratty.)
i have played guitar, uploaded photos, eaten subway (yes they have that here too) and i think i will call it an early night after i have finished this post.

okay so until next time, have fun, keep safe and stay tuned!
