Had a busy day today. Took a course on budgeting. It's part of the process of asking for a fund to help me pay for my college. I'll be in deep trouble if it doesn't get approved... dunno what i'll do then.
Wow i travelled the entire city today. Took 3 different busses to reach my destination, walked like a camel as well. 'Andei que nem um camelo' makes more sense in portuguese than 'walked like a camel' in english! But, the idea is the same so it works...
On my way there i was kind of lost after the last bus dropped me off... well, walking around looking for a certain street i spot two elders... hey perfect! I'll ask them were the institute is, cuz they oughta know. They look american. Cute as always (elders are always cute). I come to them and say: 'Olá!' They look at me and nicely answer back... i stare them in the face and ask 'You guys speek english?', With a huge smile on their faces they answer 'Yeah!' - So we start talking... we stood there chatting for like 15 minutes. They were on their 'P day' and it was really their last day on mission... they were really nice. - Oh, and they didn't know where the institute was!
The course lasted 3 hours... and it was really just me a t.v. and the manual. The remote control was broken so i did some excercise while running to the t.v. every time it said 'stop' on the screen.
Then i went with my aunt and her friend to a friends house for some pizza... it was all very enjoyable.
