New Week

Gente,
I am feeling awesome today. I woke up early, even before my 8:30 alarm. I have a brazilian breakfast- a small coffee, butter on toast and a banana- and then went on a run from basically campo grande to farol da barra, or for my american friends, I ran about an hour. I believe it is because I finally finished one of my projects for this week. It can seem so daunting when you have all of these projects, and although your working on them, until you complete something, you feel like your getting no where. So one presentation down, one more to go, 3 more papers to write and then I am DONE with this semester!!!! (I gave up on actually reading the Jorge Armado book, it is just to difficult for my level of Portuguese, because it is written in colloquial early 20th century portuguese. To give yall an example, it would be a book that is on the AP Lit test. I saw the movie, and read a 1/4 of the book, so I am gonna spark note it and go from there. I really wanted to read the book correctly, but I just have not had enough time. Meanwhile, its only THREE weeks until I leave. I can not believe it. although I am loving Brazil, I cannot wait to go home and take a break. However I know I will be itching to come back by the end of my break there. Wow. Sorry guys, didnt mean to make this so long. Hopefully today I will finish 3 of my papers (all 3 of which I have already started, yay!) and do some more research for my other presentation.
Remember, nothing is too daunting if you break it up into pieces and put your mind to it! lol, I sound like a self-help book. but its true!

This popped up on my google home page today, I thought it was very fitting. :)
