who sleeps before a trip?

/not/me. i think there has been few. probably can count them on one and. nights that i've slept before a flight. long drive. big change.

/tomorrow/we. ciee exchange students. all go to rio. it's part of the deal. how cool. i love rio. but what's even more exciting is seeing my brazilian friends.

/i/arrived the first week of january. stayed by myself in cabanacopa hostel. met some great people. made some great friends: fernando. mag. [and since being in salvador. char. indira.] reuniting is always great.

/after/rio. laura. zack. celesse. i. take a plane to iguazu falls. step in paraguay. 22-hr bus through argentina to buenos aires. party w/nadi. kate. andrew parker. [it'll be his bday.] boat to montevideo. that's in uruguay. another bus. not so long. back to brazil. porto alegre. flight to an island. florianopolis. flight back to rio. party w/indira for her bday. 3rd of may: back to salvador. hopefully i will have missed all the rest of rainy season.

/lette/turned 21. her party was at a club. a lot of us ciee folk made it to the event. i got a bottle of skyy. bottle of fanta. dumped the fanta. (skyy bottle was too heavy.) successfully tied the fanta bottle of skyy to my shirt. undermy skirt. saved so so much money. i went out a little too hard though. made it a shorter night.
