T.G.I.F

 Last Friday night is the first line in the chorus of Katy Perry's song "T.G.I.F" and the topic of my post today! 

On my last Friday in the US, I woke up in the mood to dance - yes, in the early morning, feeling sleepy but thinking about dancing, can you imagine it? kkk - and some of my classmates were also excited about the Idea to have some fun on our Last Friday in Austin. 

We went to Barbarella Austin, which was promoting a Special 80's party that night, and I had a lot of fun, dance, laughing and some tears. I mean, come on, dance "YMCA" with a crowd in the US!? Listening the main music theme of the memorable movie "The Breakfast Club" on a night club!? Those are kinds of things that I never imagined experiencing! 

Unlike how Katy Perry ends her song with "next Friday night, do it all again," next Friday night won't be the same for me - in fact, is It never the same, right? - But my point here is to emphasize how this experience was unique, a perfect send-off from my time in the US.

While I won't be dancing 80's hits at Barbarella with my classmates Wellington, Vinícius, Jeanne, Ana Cristina, Vanuza and Renata, I'll carry these memories with me, knowing that some nights might be like living in a Katy Perry pop song.

First week A.K.A New things all over

 Hello, guys!  I'm here to share my experience on my cultural and professional exchange in Austin, Texas.  The first week was fulled by bittersweet emotions. I was missing home at the same time that I was enjoying so much been here. I cried with hapiness and also because I was missing my beloved ones.  Moreover, I had a lot of insights about teaching English as a second language and I also had insights about my own English skills, and about that I'm still giving my best to uderstand that I have to go easy on me.

The "who" factor

  This trip have been made me think a lot about people. It turns out that more amazing experiences I have more I think about the "who" factor.  Since I knew that I was selected to PDPI program, I've been dreaming about how cool would be live in an American campus, have classes with native teachers at the university and compare the real US with the one from the movies and TV shows. And since day 3, I realized that living all the new experiences were not as special as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, I still am enjoying and I was amazed by every new detail that I experienced. However, during the entire first two days I wasn't so happy and I didn't say why until I noticed that almost every minute from those two days I was with my smartphone in my hands and I realized something: who is with me when I'm experiencing amazing things is so important than the things themselves and that is what I'm calling "the 'who' factor".
