Ahhh sorry!

Okay so I have been a bitttt back logged on the blog. Quick summary of my life thus far. Kept working, continued hanging out with AIESEC kids, I went to Lake Pampulha with Andres, worked some more, Firdaus came to visit, Andres left for a 5 week road trip across south america, Firdaus and I went to Salvador and chilled at the beach, Firdaus came back to BH and chilled here, worked a bit more, barely got my Brazilian ID and almost had to go to jail, Soraya the new trainee from Peru came to work with me at CasAzul, found out that it is illegal for foreigners to teach in Brazil so had to stop teaching, got a cold.

Now to elaborate, yea work has been good but last week I found out that I have been teaching illegally and now I have to stop. That has thrown a bit of a kink into the work that I was doing, but I will keep working. I was doing other things other than just teaching so I will just keep working on those things just doing it more now.

Firdaus coming was AMAZING. I was so happy to have someone here who knows me and I can just not think around. Salvador was a nice change, but I didnt feel as secure there as I do in BH, so that was interesting. They have a much stronger culture there because Salvador was the head of the slave trade back in the day, so the Afro-Brazilian population is much stronger. They did have more roots then here in BH, but I am still sticking to my BH love. I was really happy Firdaus got to meet all the @BH kids! I think they were ready to take him in as our newest trainee!! It was really nice to have him here, but I think it made me miss home more. I am really missing home now that I have a cold and feel like CRAP.

So because I am feeling icky I am done blogging for now, but I will include a list of things I want back home:

-2 trolley stop "surfer" dogs
-1 PT's 4oz burger with fries
-Kraft Mac and Cheese (spirals)
-Carpeted floors
-tap water
-Driving around with Lauren at home
-Franklin Street Pizza Pasta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Carolina pasta
-Pink sauce on penne
-Meatball sub
-Tomato basil bisque
-the bread
-the people that work there that know me by name
-My really fluffy bed
-Watching movies with Firdaus
-Shopping at Olivers
-Sunrise biscuits
-Terrazzo's Lasagna
-my mommy and daddyyy
-my car (generally American safe traffic)
-target

-no extra fees for just spending money

There are more... but I cannot think of them right now; however, this does not mean that I want to go home. I only make the list of things I miss because the list of things that I love about Brazil would not even be possible to make!!!
