JUNHO

Here I am writing my first post of my last full month in BRASIL and there you are reading it! Que massa hein? I've been having some trouble falling asleep due to nerves about school work and also a random batch of nightmares about Javier and others have been keeping me up at night. (I also had an incredible, vivid dream that I was friends with Lady GaGa and that she threw me a birthday party and died my hair red.) I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" AND "The Aviator" in attempt to feel sleepy and finally dozed off around 2am last night. Was that really worth mentioning? I guess while I'm at it I should mention that over the weekend we all watched Titanic so that makes for two Leo movies in the last 5 days--jealous?

I just finished giving a class presentation with my brazilian International Relation student colleagues about latin-american migration patterns to the US. The discussion really went well and I'm feeling pretty on top right now. Now I just have to endure another cinema class and then VACATIONNN. Who knows why but tomorrow until Sunday is another little break from school. The girl who came to my rescue in the bathroom during my recent meltdown invited me out tonight to go to a birthday party at a Roqueiro (rocker) bar in Copacabana. It's indie karoake night...so we'll see who that compares to Shania Twain Japanese karoake in São paulo.
