Not a lot new going on here now.
Life has become normal...
The language, just for the normal update, is going better. Now I'm taking some Portuguese lessons to better my conjugation, because Portuguese is crazy...and so that is helping. But I can have conversations now, I can use the future and past tenses, which is a big step.
I've learned to sing some songs in Portuguese, which is neat.
Guitar is still going...I'm practicing more now, which I need to be doing, learning some samba and things like that. Singing lessons are still happening too...but I dont know how well they are going. Singing is much harder then I'd thought.
I'm feeling more Brazilian all the time, I guess that is something that comes with getting comfortable in the other country. I've noticed that I've picked up their cultural habits without knowing it. Just little things that I had noticed were different in the beginning like...when they are eating, they dont change the knife and fork from hand to hand to cut food, they leave the knife in their left hand, which I've picked up now. And when I got here, my host mom thought it was so strange that I didn't wear shoes in the house, and now, when I walk around, I automatically put something on my feet. I've picked up the cultural 'warmness', the clothing style, I've started wearing more jewelery...Just picking up new habits which is strange.
