Hey everyone, so it really has been ages since I've updated my journal! Right now I;m in summer vacation from the University and am visiting some friends in Brazil. It's amazing here! It is the first time that I've come here and I am truly in awe. I'm also doing quite well with learning Portuguese. I think knowing Spanish definetly helps, but also hinders. If you dont know, I'll give you an idea - about 50% of words in Spanish and Portuguese are the same (maybe a slight change in spelling and/or pronunciation) and the other half is completely different so sometimes it helps since you understand more and kind of know whats going on but sometimes you think a word that is in Spanish will be the same in Portuguese so you aren;t even sure what language you are speaking!! But it has been great, and I;ve learned a lot!! One of the many exciting things Im doing here is taking an art class, which really is a lot chepaer here than back in the states, since there anything related to arts or manual labor is pretty expensive. I am almost done with my first oil on canvas painting and am super extatic about it!! I've always been interested in art and have always been willing to try many different forms of it and I must say I have found yet another which I like very much and I hope to continue painting more!! Also its been almost 3 years since I joined GAIA and since then I've collected a lot of items...so I'm slowly trying sell items I;m not interested in, or haven't really used. The problem is I'm very indecisive! I know that some, well most are just store items and some that aren't really that expensive but I think are cute and even though I don't use them much or even at all (as in I haven't touched them in more than 6 months) but still I feel that if I sell them I'm gonna want to use them shortly after I do...sigh...well we'll see how that goes! Anyhow that's all for now,
