hey peeps. well. it is that time in the program: the post two-weeks crash. i'm just feeling exhausted. i feel like i'm running from one thing to the next: from school, to home for lunch, back to school, back to home, out to capoeira. this entails 40 min walks round-trip from school/home and then even longer to capoeira. i'm just feeling tired; however, tonight i'm starting a new dance class (or checking it out at least). i'm excited but also coming off of a hard day. this whole being surrounded by new people and in a new culture thing is starting to take its toll. i'm still happy, for the most part, with the group. i've made some nice friends but it isn't the same as having a buddy to just talk to. i am looking forward to a phone call...i'm going to try to make one/a few this weekend....saturday is an all day samba festival, friday night is a birthday party for the capoiera mestre (teacher) and thursday night is karoke for one of the program peeps' 30th bday. . .so...yes, sunday will be lovely.
the weekend trip was lovely. had a wonderful time dancing (both at a random afro-brazilian class and at a club) and then spent the next day on the beach...much needed. more details coming soon and pictures too, from the weekend and of some of the peeps. i'm missing MY peeps though, wish i could have one of those nice, tight family/friend hugs.
love, me.
