In Brazil

Well, it is my first full day in Brazil. I'm currently sitting in the lobby of my dormitory on the campus of Brazil Nazarene College in Campinas. I'm enjoying "Au Pair" dubbed in Portuguese and realizing how little Portuguese I know. But, that's okay! That's why I'm here!

The first sacrifice for culture is official--I had to take out my nose ring. I'm very sad--I've had it for four years--and it kind of made Aimee, Aimee. Not since the fateful summer at NPH has the ring left my right nostril, but I am perfectly ok with having to take it for cultural reasons. I'm just a little sad.

We're just chilling for a few days until Liliana arrives. After that, I guess we'll be starting classes? I'm not entirely sure though, we're still pretty uncertain what life will look like here in Campinas.
