Finally

I am going home tomorrow! Well, not technically home, I am staying the night in West Palm Beach with my uncle and then I am driving home on Tuesday morning. I talked to my dad today and he was so happy to know I will be back in two days.

I am BEYOND excited to be back. I have a millions projects to start. At the same time I am terrified about my MCAT coming on the 5th. I am pretty sure I will have to repeat and I have told everyone around me the same things, so expectations are low. I wish it was as easy to get this horrible weight off my shoulders.

Some things have happened lately that have changed the way I see many things and myself. For this same reason I haven't been blogging (plus I have "attempted" to study).

As soon as I get settled back home I will put up a post about Paris and one about London for sure!

I have been horrible posting here. I just came back from London. My birthday is tomorrow and then I leave for France! I will try to update very very soon!

Fun downtown

Lately I have been super lethargic. I have posts ideas in my mind and everything but as soon as I open my computer I don't feel like doing anything.

My days have been pretty productive lately. Last Monday Mima and I went downtown to have some ice cream and shop around. I bought some beautiful (and tons!) stuff in H&M and then I studied for my MCAT.

On our way down the little hill where we live there are this pretty apartments with the most beautiful terraces!

Mima. Isn't she the cutest? I love her white hair!

We shared something they called "Danish Ice cream", which is just vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup.

On our way back instead of going up the hill, which is pretty steep, we take this tiny little red train that goes up and leaves us a half a block away from home. It is so comfortable and we are lucky because every time we are ready to take it, it is there! We have only had to wait 5 mins. max. 

My new shoes! (please ignore my pasty white legs) I have been looking for this kind of shoes forever! I saw them a long time ago when I visited Chile but they were sold out everywhere. That day Mima and I went to the main train station basement where they have cute shops and coffees. As we were looking around I spotted them! I jumped up and down when I saw that they were super cheap! I am actually thinking about buying them in black too. They are super comfy. 

We always walk in front of this gorgeous house on our way back from the train. I really like it! I want my house to look like this one. It seems so full of history and I am already dreaming about how I would decorate it. 

This is the bell/clock tower that is right next to our house. It gives the time ALL day. It gives the full hours, the quarters, the halves, and the three quarters. I like it because I never have to ask what time it is to my grandmother anymore. The only bad thing about it is that at 11am and at 7pm it goes crazy for 15 mins. I have asked my aunt why but she doesn't know. Mima and I are planning to go in one day and ask. 

I will post another update very soon. This post took me like three days to complete! Every time I am on the computer I get distracted by new shows I am starting to watch. Does anyone have suggestions of good shows I should watch? I already watch 90210 (is like my secret addiction), The Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries (hello Damon!), and Community. I just started Little Pretty Liars today. I think next might be Dexter. So if you think I would like something don't hesitate to tell me!

New layout!

After much playing around with different template editing softwares, and online, I decided to try to edit the blog on blogspot itself, I wish I would have done it sooner! It is so much easier than what I thought and it has changed  since I last tried to use it. Now it completely lets you change everything in the template manually without having to touch the html of it. I love it! I might still do a few changes in it, but I like it as it is for now.

I completely forgot I had this blog. I will probably erase everything I wrote before and start again since I feel like a chapter of my life is ending and one of the most exciting ones is finally starting!

Goodbye

It is so hard to let you go. Keeping you in this world would be selfish since your body is giving up. You were the first cat I ever had by myself. You were supposed to teach me how to be responsible but instead I would spoil you and give you food while I was eating. I am sorry I am not there to say goodbye and pet you like I used to do in the middle of the night while we would fall asleep. We shared 12 years together and you were the best cat I could ever ask for; even on those nights when you meow on my face all night and not let me sleep because you wanted to be pet constantly. I am so glad you got to enjoy the blue house and I got to see how happy you were. I am grateful to my sister who gladly adopted you when I left. I am sorry for leaving you Pulgui. I love you and I will never forget you.

I love you with all of my heart and I hope you fall asleep in peace. Goodbye Pulga.

Love,

Your Mom.

Sombrita

Today was a weird day.

First of all Brazil lost to Holland. WTF? I was speechless when my dad told me! I felt so bad. I have a couple of friends from Brazil and I can't even imagine how pissed they are.

I also slept almost the entire day. I woke up at one point, ate an ice cream and went our running. Afterward me and my dad where super hungry (I just had breakfast and that ice cream) so we went and bought burger king. We then watched Shutter Island, only to be interrupted my stepmom when she called my dad and my dad breaking a glass in the carpet. All of this lead to my dad telling me to leave him alone and just watch the movie (in a really mean way) because I was trying to clean up. I ended up leaving, calling my mom on skype and crying my eyes out. I miss her. I wish that she could be with me every day, I miss her like I never thought I could. I miss her smell, her laugh, her sense of humor, her cooking, the noise her jewelry makes when she moves, the way she dances in the supermarket, EVERYTHING. I really never thought I was going to get this much closer to my mom while leaving on the other side of the world.

I love you and miss you everyday I am away from you mom. Thanks for making me the person I am today.
