3:36am

I am awake and can't sleep. So, why not put up a blog post mentioning how tonight I really miss Brazil and wish I were there talking with my friends and making stupid vocab mistakes* that make them laugh at me...

Sigh...



*Look for "mate"

I hate not being able to sleep. I wish I felt the same way about Danish and Denmark. It probably doesn't help that I can't speak it worth beans anymore.

I think that alone is a reason to return for an extended stay.

I'm taking a class on Brazilian Audio and Visual Culture (Film and Pop Music) and after two weeks it's already one of the best classes I've ever taken. My Portuguese is slowly coming back and all I can think is that I need to go to Rio and stay with my old room mate for a while. The film is great, the music is infectious. I love Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, I need to listen to more Chico Barque...I need to go to Brazil.

That class sounds awesome. I miss taking great classes. I think we should all just go to Rio and take classes like that.

I mostly wish I didn't sound like a three-year-old when I speak Portuguese. Nevertheless, I wish I were in Brazil. (Heck, I wish I were anywhere with no qualifying exams). :-)

I give you no less than 8 years, Em ;)

I think a trip to Brazil is an adequate prize for surviving quals.

Aw, man, let's go back right now. Sigh.
