cicmat!

Yesterday was my school's..I suppose its like a talent show.
Each class made up one group, changed the lyrics of a popular song so it's about math, and made up a dance to go along.
I have been 'working' on this project for the past 3 weeks, but nothing got done until this week. Oh so the Brazilian way.
So anyway, my group was called Tropic de Elipse, because the music we chose was from a movie called this (you should check it out by the way, its awesome). The song is from a genre called funk (said funkie hahahahaha) which is like...rap sort of, but its maybe...more melodic, and the beats are a little different. The girls of the group, after deciding that it was impossible to work with the guys, made up a separate chorography, and ended up dancing in front of the stage instead of on the stage. Us girls also took another song and learned the guitar and changed the lyrics and performed this as well.
It was so cool. 'working' on the dance was always a lot of fun, and performing it was even better. We all had matching camo shirts, and when we all got up on the stage everyone started to scream, and I couldn't stop smiling.
I was nervous, but not as bad as normal, not so much that I forgot to have fun.
The first thing we performed was the guitar and song that us girls made up. We didn't actually play in real life, because we recorded the song earlier, but we all pretended. And then after we did the dance, which was the best part. I really hope I can get a copy of a video from someone...because I think it was pretty neat. Everyone was screaming the whole time, and I was just laughing. My face hurt after. Serious.
After the show, practically the entire school went to the Avenida, which was cool. Sat down, had dinner and talked with bunches of friends.
Brazil is good. I'm liking it here.
