what have i been up to...

Well lately I have been very busy trying to get my abstraction sheet finalized and trying to learn
I had a great time this past weekend which was semana santa.  It was basically a four day weekend! I spent thursday at Fabianna's house working on our respective projects.  The whole weekend was very hot (95 degreesF or 35 in C) and humid, so very humid.  We had lots of storms all weekend.  Apparently when it rains, the internet does not work at my house....how strange?  On friday I had a wonderful lunch at Fabiana's grandmother's house.  The meal consisted of a lot traditional foods cooked with dende oil (palm oil).  I was warned to eat only a little bit as it can be abrasive.  In fact we then got into a discussion of how palm oil can be used to run cars.
I then watched a movie in the afternoon.  It turns out I have been living under a rock the past few years as Sandra Bullock has made not one, but two movies.  I one about alaska where she is a book editor, I have no idea what the american names is.....
As it was raining all day on friday and saturday, my activities consisted of reading books, watching movies, going to the shopping mall (i think I have been almost 10 times now.... way more than in the  US).  I have more to say on shoppings but I will save that for the future..

The Proposal! How was it in Portuguese? Hahaha... That's funny about the palm oil. Have you had any problems with other specific foods? Do you have a favorite Brazilian snack yet?
