Estava lotado e foi bem legal, minha familia adorou a comida brasileira!!! Principalmente os docinhos (negrinhos e branquinhos). &lt;br /&gt;O maior objetivo dos YAs foi atingido. Fizemos um show bem legal, todos adoraram e fomos super elogiados, ouvidos VARIAS vezes o que nos tanto queriamos ouvir: "Voces sao o MELHOR grupo!" Meta atingida!!! Fiquei super orgulhosa e concordo plenamente, e um grupo maravilhoso, onde cada um de nos trabalhou um pouquinho, fez sua parte e deu tudo certo. Fora que criamos um laco de amizade TAO grande, TAO grande. Vou morrer de saudade. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EesBO432I/AAAAAAAAAUE/-cdDLeQNoLc/s1600-h/presentation.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EesBO432I/AAAAAAAAAUE/-cdDLeQNoLc/s320/presentation.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445167166061600610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eer2Sxf-I/AAAAAAAAAT8/pT-mqSPqkQk/s1600-h/DSC01488.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eer2Sxf-I/AAAAAAAAAT8/pT-mqSPqkQk/s320/DSC01488.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445167163125104610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eef2vCD2I/AAAAAAAAAT0/a3EHKL8dNes/s1600-h/DSC01486.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eef2vCD2I/AAAAAAAAAT0/a3EHKL8dNes/s320/DSC01486.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445166957085200226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eefj0FJbI/AAAAAAAAATs/JhoDfkBvLms/s1600-h/DSC01482.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eefj0FJbI/AAAAAAAAATs/JhoDfkBvLms/s320/DSC01482.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445166952006100402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EefTu56TI/AAAAAAAAATk/laDyaASdIB4/s1600-h/DSC01477.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EefTu56TI/AAAAAAAAATk/laDyaASdIB4/s320/DSC01477.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445166947689425202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EefMjuigI/AAAAAAAAATc/62sAL-3W4bI/s1600-h/DSC01476.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EefMjuigI/AAAAAAAAATc/62sAL-3W4bI/s320/DSC01476.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445166945763494402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eee93Mi8I/AAAAAAAAATU/95_6u_845oQ/s1600-h/DSC01456.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5Eee93Mi8I/AAAAAAAAATU/95_6u_845oQ/s320/DSC01456.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445166941818620866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-3395326936633468649?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/3395326936633468649/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/03/feijoada-ya-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/3395326936633468649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/3395326936633468649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/03/feijoada-ya-2010.html' title='Feijoada YA 2010'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EesBO432I/AAAAAAAAAUE/-cdDLeQNoLc/s72-c/presentation.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-5320647183607165227</id><published>2010-03-05T06:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-05T06:53:27.038-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The last waltz</title><content type='html'>Atualizando:&lt;br /&gt;05/02 sexta: Eu e a Tessa fomos jantar no apartamento da Emmy, com os roomates dela, Bryn e Mitch, e o namorado da Bryn, Jake.

Uma passadinha rapida no Circle Center Mall de Indy e direto pro cinema. Assistimos Percy Jackson &amp; the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, algo parecido com Harry Potter, bem fantasia, nao gostei muito. Mas, eu e a Tessa compramos nossos ingressos pra assistir a estreia de Alice in Wonderland no Imax 3D! MUITO LEGAL! Mal posso esperar. Todas as meninas posaram na Jhani sabado a noite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EamAe6PAI/AAAAAAAAATM/JMm6B9AObfE/s1600-h/DSC01442.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EamAe6PAI/AAAAAAAAATM/JMm6B9AObfE/s320/DSC01442.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445162664734637058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EaliHugBI/AAAAAAAAATE/C3t3OLOjHX4/s1600-h/DSC01440.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5EaliHugBI/AAAAAAAAATE/C3t3OLOjHX4/s320/DSC01440.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445162656584335378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-5320647183607165227?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/5320647183607165227/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/03/last-waltz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/5320647183607165227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/5320647183607165227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/03/last-waltz.html' title='The last waltz'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S5ESsRXFDiI/AAAAAAAAARE/JLQZ9X4M5T8/s72-c/DSC01362.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-4220704976066715818</id><published>2010-02-23T05:58:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T06:18:00.623-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Living the dream</title><content type='html'>14/02: Valentine's Day (dia dos namorados).

Seguimos para jantar e comer uma tipica pizza ao estilo Chicago. Deliciosa!!!! Outra coisa bizarra: A Laura, depois de estacionar a van e vir nos encontrar no restaurante, foi mordida por um cachorro na rua, e a dona do cachorro fugiu e levou a luva da Laura junto, hahaha! &lt;br /&gt;Foi um dia longo, mas valeu a pena. Inesquecivel, com certeza!!! Voltamos para Indy e posamos na casa da Jhani porque domingo vinha mais... &lt;br /&gt;ps.: Muito obrigada Laura e Jhani por tudo!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-2586316269357641023?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/2586316269357641023/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/windy-city-and-more-2_16.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/2586316269357641023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/2586316269357641023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/windy-city-and-more-2_16.html' title='The Windy City and more [2]'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3sdCTwGNuI/AAAAAAAAANs/7XBNdOM10PA/s72-c/DSC01217.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-5396458663630977736</id><published>2010-02-16T10:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T13:07:35.991-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Windy City and more...</title><content type='html'>Esse ultimo final de semana foi fantastico!!! Sexta-feira chegamos em Indy e encontramos todo o pessoal e a Laura, fomos jantar no Steak'n'Shake, depois disso a Frys - loja de eletronicos - e por ultimo ao cinema assistir Valentine's Day, filme que vale MUITO A PENA ser visto, super divertido!

Depois de umas 3 horas de viagem, cruzamos a divisa de Indiana com Illinois e entramos no suburbio de Chicago. Aos poucos a cidade ia aparecendo, com suas construcoes enormes e o lago Michigan logo ali. A primeira parada, e minha preferida na viagem, foi o Navy Pier, LINDO!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1srOa3fI/AAAAAAAAALM/dTWptaSVYb0/s1600-h/DSC01115.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1srOa3fI/AAAAAAAAALM/dTWptaSVYb0/s320/DSC01115.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438929647869550066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1sU1ikMI/AAAAAAAAALE/tAzJaeZ3EdQ/s1600-h/DSC01110.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1sU1ikMI/AAAAAAAAALE/tAzJaeZ3EdQ/s320/DSC01110.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438929641859616962" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1sIsutoI/AAAAAAAAAK8/0bffmtgulvk/s1600-h/DSC01093.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r1sIsutoI/AAAAAAAAAK8/0bffmtgulvk/s320/DSC01093.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438929638601438850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Navy Pier almocamos no restaurante Bubba Gump Shrimp, camarao!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3BvtD58I/AAAAAAAAALs/8yp7ciLbOgQ/s1600-h/DSC01125.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3BvtD58I/AAAAAAAAALs/8yp7ciLbOgQ/s320/DSC01125.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438931109360691138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3BL3JpAI/AAAAAAAAALk/1U-kcHd2WaU/s1600-h/DSC01124.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3BL3JpAI/AAAAAAAAALk/1U-kcHd2WaU/s320/DSC01124.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438931099739333634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3Axp865I/AAAAAAAAALc/4wFddVlqfB0/s1600-h/DSC01121.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3Axp865I/AAAAAAAAALc/4wFddVlqfB0/s320/DSC01121.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438931092704652178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3Arfw7cI/AAAAAAAAALU/RVbnk7rfNko/s1600-h/DSC01119.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3r3Arfw7cI/AAAAAAAAALU/RVbnk7rfNko/s320/DSC01119.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438931091051310530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo depois do almoco fomos ao Shedd Aquarium, um aquario enorme com todos os tipos de animais marinhos.

Sunday: SUPER BOWL! We had some people over (kelly's sisters and parents), a lot of junk food and we were really excited to see the Colts of Indianapolis playing. They were great at the beggining of the game, but then the Saint of New Orleans beated them and we lost! Everybody was so sad! ;/ Monday I was a little bit sick, so i didn't go to school; Tuesday: SNOW DAY!!! we went for a walk, had luch at Casa Brava, a mexican restaurant and went to the movies to watc Dear John, very good movie. Wednesday: SNOW DAY!!! we played in the snow and went to a Basketball game: IU x Ohio State. The stadium is HUGE! I was really amazed, the bad thing is IU lost... Thursday: 2-hour-delay! As you can notice, it was a week with tonss of snow! Really pretty!!!&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Certo, faz algum tempo desde o meu ultimo pot, entao vou contar sobre a semana passada, que foi uma semana muito preguicosa. Domingo: SUPER BOWL! Algumas pessoas vieram aqui em casa (os pais e irmas da Kelly), muita comida e todos estavam muito animados para ver os Colts de Indianapolis jogando. Eles foram otimos no comeco do jogo, mas os Saints de Nova Orleans passou na frente e nos perdemos. Todos estavam taooo tristes! ;/ &lt;br /&gt;Segunda eu estava um pouco doente e nao fui na aula; Terca: sem aula por causa da neve!!! Fomos caminhar pelas ruas e ver tudo branquinho, almocamos no Casa Brava, um restaurante mexicano e fomos ao cinema ver um filme "Dear John", muito bom. Quarta: sem aula por causa da neve!!! Nos brincamos na neve e fomos assistir um jogo de basquete: Universidade de Indiana x Ohio State. O estado eh ENORME! Eu estava realmente boba, de tao grande que e... A unica coisa ruim eh que Universidade de Indiana perdeu feio. Quinta: atraso de 2 horas por causa da neve! Como voces podem notar, foi uma semana com muuita neve. Muito muito bonito!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-4490632423001838096?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/4490632423001838096/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/lazy-lazy-lazy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/4490632423001838096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/4490632423001838096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/lazy-lazy-lazy.html' title='lazy lazy lazy'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S3lesq0sgZI/AAAAAAAAAKk/V-N6bGYHG9c/s72-c/tessa%27s+023.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-7201679943476017311</id><published>2010-02-06T14:08:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T16:46:20.462-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's a winter wonderland</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23rKRJzJhI/AAAAAAAAAKM/l1Kcain59Wc/s1600-h/DSC01061.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23rKRJzJhI/AAAAAAAAAKM/l1Kcain59Wc/s320/DSC01061.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258886941779474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23rKIGaJpI/AAAAAAAAAKE/R6P_L-a8NMI/s1600-h/DSC01056.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23rKIGaJpI/AAAAAAAAAKE/R6P_L-a8NMI/s320/DSC01056.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258884511639186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qjNjebKI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/1y7sNhuYick/s1600-h/DSC01050.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qjNjebKI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/1y7sNhuYick/s320/DSC01050.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258215960833186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qimbpRWI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/Y4uDtFXt2Ys/s1600-h/DSC01048.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qimbpRWI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/Y4uDtFXt2Ys/s320/DSC01048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258205459006818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qiJUL2HI/AAAAAAAAAJs/qncgRMqKfYk/s1600-h/DSC01045.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qiJUL2HI/AAAAAAAAAJs/qncgRMqKfYk/s320/DSC01045.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258197643090034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qh7kAtOI/AAAAAAAAAJk/3Mavex9WFe0/s1600-h/DSC01044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S23qh7kAtOI/AAAAAAAAAJk/3Mavex9WFe0/s320/DSC01044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258193951372514" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday: SNOW DAY!!! school was cancelled because there would be a snow storm.

We - 6 YA + Tessa + Leslie - went to Muncie for our Volunteer Day. It was great seeing everyone and speaking Portuguese for some time! Me, Tess and Emily left home by 8:30, picked Gabriel up from Greenwood and arrived in Muncie by 10:30, so we went to Ball State University, to drop off Emily with some friends. After that, we went to Pizza King, where everybody was. We volunteered the whole afternoon doind blankets that are going for the kids of Riley Hospital. It was very nice, we had a great time. After that, Maite, Rafael and Gabriel went back to their cities, but me and my sisters stayed in Muncie. We went to the mall for some shopping, then bowling with Tulio and his friends, they were all so nice! And finally, catching up with Emily's friends from Ball State, all very nice too. After all that, Sunday was very sleepy and lazy. I met my sister's father, Rob, and their little brother Reese. Unfortunately, it's not snowing and we didn't get a snow day or 2 hour delay today!&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;Esse final de semana foi otimo! Nos - 6 YA + Tessa + Leslie - fomos para Muncie para o nosso dia de voluntariado. Foi maravilhoso poder ver todo o grupo novamente e falar portugues por um tempo! Eu, Tessa e Emily saimos de casa as 8:30, pegamos o Gabriel em Greenwood e chegamos em Muncie as 10:30, entao fomos para a Ball State University, para deixar a Emily la com algumas amigas dela. Depois disso fomos ao Pizza King, onde todos estavam. Nos fizemos voluntariado a tarde toda, fazendo cobertores que vao para as criancas do Riley Hospital. Foi bem legal, nos divertimos muito. Maite, Rafael e Gabriel, infelizmente, tiveram q voltar pras suas cidades, mas eu e minhas irmas ficamos em Muncie. Fomos ao shopping fazer umas compras, depois fomos no boliche com o tulio e os amigos dele, eram todos muito legal! E no fim da noite, conversamos com as amigas da Emily da Ball State, onde ficamos hospedadas no dormitorio delas. Depois de tudo isso, domingo foi um dia com muito sono e preguica. Eu conheci o pai das minhas irmas, Rob, e o irmao menor delas, Reese. Infelizmente nao esta mais nevando e nos nao tivemos um dia de neve nem atraso de 2 horas na escola hoje!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-9181834398773540625?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/9181834398773540625/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/truth-been-told-ive-missed-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/9181834398773540625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/9181834398773540625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/02/truth-been-told-ive-missed-you.html' title='truth be told, i&apos;ve missed you!'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2d-yhLb6fI/AAAAAAAAAJc/qVFfwtwPPWs/s72-c/DSC01040.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-6911561741385836566</id><published>2010-01-28T12:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T17:26:36.829-08:00</updated><title type='text'>that's the way we get by</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvQZg0OxI/AAAAAAAAAIE/BJWRM-v5BZw/s1600-h/067.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvQZg0OxI/AAAAAAAAAIE/BJWRM-v5BZw/s320/067.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431885690591001362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvP19ED3I/AAAAAAAAAH8/1NDACpdo0aU/s1600-h/063.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvP19ED3I/AAAAAAAAAH8/1NDACpdo0aU/s320/063.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431885681045802866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvPrXz0HI/AAAAAAAAAH0/VI09u2mM11g/s1600-h/062.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvPrXz0HI/AAAAAAAAAH0/VI09u2mM11g/s320/062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431885678205194354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvPQcR81I/AAAAAAAAAHs/mhyTn9UUPXw/s1600-h/065.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S2HvPQcR81I/AAAAAAAAAHs/mhyTn9UUPXw/s320/065.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431885670976189266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the snow's back and Tuesday we got a 2 hour delay!

French III is perfect for me and I really appreciate the Ethnic Studies class. I've been excused from the test of this last week 'cause i wasn't in the class when they learned everything. My first test is going to be Wednesday and it's a U.S. History test, about the 20's, very interesting, actually. &lt;br /&gt;Yesterday - saturday - Tessa took her SAT test. At night we went out to Ice skate - me, Tess, Evie, Holly and Mariah - it was so good, i'm so glad we went. I wasn't very good ice skating, but i got it, without falling! hahahaha. After we went downtown and just walked around, had dinner at Panda Express (Chinese food) and kept walking around.&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;Entao, essa foi minha primeira semana sozinha na escola e foi tudo bem. Frances III eh o nivel certo pra mim e eu realmente adoro as aulas de Estudos Etnicos. Eu nao precisei fazer os testes dessa semana porque nao estava nas aulas quando os conteudos foram explicados. Meu primeiro teste sera quarta-feira e e de Historia dos Estados Unidos, sobre a decada de 1920, muito interessante, na verdade. &lt;br /&gt;Ontem - sabado - Tessa fez o teste de SAT. De noite nos fomos patinar no gelo - eu, Tessa, Evie, Holly e Mariah - foi muitoo bom mesmo. Eu nao patinei muuito bem, mas consegui - e sem cair! hahahaha. Depois nos fomos pro centro da cidade e ficamos passeando por la, jantamos no Panda Express (comida chinesa) e nos divertimos muito andando pelo centro de Bloomington.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-4210943176689625522?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/4210943176689625522/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/you-would-not-believe-your-eyes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/4210943176689625522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/4210943176689625522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/you-would-not-believe-your-eyes.html' title='You would not believe your eyes'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S15Ze7msTQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/1kjryOEgTKM/s72-c/downtown.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-2975606531312413030</id><published>2010-01-20T16:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T17:03:44.153-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Over the hills and far away</title><content type='html'>We had Monday off school because of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Tuesday was my first day of school on my own, without following Tessa. It was pretty great, everything went well. Today i went to my Ethnic Studies class, which was THE BEST 'till now, - the teacher is amazing - and i went to French II, i was afraid i wouldn't be able to get it, that it would be too hard for me, so i arrived there and i already knew all that they were studying, so i went to talk to the counselor and we changed my schedule for French III, but i had to quit Psychology, because both were in the same period. Now i have Study Hall instead of psychology and french III instead of french II. Everything outside school is going great too, we - me, tessa and emmy - went to the movies yesterday and watched "Youth in Revolt", sooo goood and sooo funny. &lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;Nos nao tivemos aula segunda-feira devido ao aniversario de Martin Luther King Jr. Terca foi meu primeiro dia de escola sozinha, sem seguir a tessa nas aulas dela. Foi tudo bem. Hoje eu tive aula de Estudos Etnicos - a melhor aula ate agora, o professor eh muitooo legal - e eu tive Frances II, tava com medo de nao acompanhar a aula, de ser muito avancado pro meu nivel, mas quando eu cheguei na sala vi que eu  ja sabia tudo que eles estavam estudando, entao fui falar com a conselheira e mudamos meu esquema de aulas por Frances III, mas eu tive que sair de Psicologia pq os dois eram no mesmo periodo. Agora tenho um periodo de sala de estudos - local pra estudar e fazer temas - ao inves de psicologia, e frances III ao inves de frances II. Tudo fora da escola vai bem tambem, nos - eu, tessa e emmy - fomos ao cinema ontem e assistimos "Youth in Revolte", muitooo bom e muitoo engracado.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-2975606531312413030?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/2975606531312413030/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/over-hills-and-far-away.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/2975606531312413030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/2975606531312413030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/over-hills-and-far-away.html' title='Over the hills and far away'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-1063150621540221685</id><published>2010-01-18T06:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T07:04:32.767-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What else do I need?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R4cNJAOjI/AAAAAAAAAE8/SRwKajHkcAU/s1600-h/DSC00939.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R4cNJAOjI/AAAAAAAAAE8/SRwKajHkcAU/s320/DSC00939.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428095876847385138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R3-4_PjMI/AAAAAAAAAE0/EwYt4QRcos0/s1600-h/DSC00938.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R3-4_PjMI/AAAAAAAAAE0/EwYt4QRcos0/s320/DSC00938.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428095373221530818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R34Ouf9fI/AAAAAAAAAEs/vH1NrpTAd50/s1600-h/DSC00937.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1R34Ouf9fI/AAAAAAAAAEs/vH1NrpTAd50/s320/DSC00937.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428095258797798898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday - after my last post - the day got really fun.

Thursday night we went to the movies with Emmy and watched "Nine". Friday after school we hang out with Holly, had dinner at Steak'n'Shake and spent the night at Holly's. Saturday we went bowling and played pool with Jeni; we would go ice skating at night, but i'm a little bit sick, so we didn't go. At night we watched the playoffs of super bowl: Baltimore X Colts! and the Colts of Indianapolis won, yay! This morning we went to church, the Stinesville Church of the Nazarene. Totally different from what i'm used to at home. They first do the announcements and then, divided in groups by age, you go to a room to have "class", after that you return to the main room and they do a long talking about a certain subject. It takes about 2 hours. After that we came home and had tacos for lunch, now i'm here just resting a little bit. &lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;Os ultimos dias foram bem legais. Quinta a noite fomos ao cinema com a Emmy e assistimos "Nine". Sexta depois da escola saimos com a Holly, jantamos no Steak'n'shake e posamos na casa da Holly. Sabado fomos jogar boliche e sinuca com a Jeni; nos iamos patinar no gelo a noite, mas eu estou um pouco gripada entao nao fomos. Ficamos em casa assistindo a semi-final do Super Bowl - campeonato de futebol americano - Baltimore X Colts! e os Colts de Indianapolis ganharam!!! (supostamente meu time, hahahaha). Hoje pela manha fomos a igreja, Igreja do Nazareno em Stinesville, e uma igreja evangelica bastante diferente do que eu estou acostumada em casa. Primeiro eles fazem todos os anuncios, ai - divididos em grupo por idades - cada um vai para uma sala e tem uma "aula" - tipo catequese. Depois, todos voltam pra sala principal e o pastor faz uma palestra sobre o assunto escolhido. Leva mais ou menso 2 horas. Depois viemos para casa e comemos tacos, agora estou aqui descansando um pouquinho!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-915091590702148155?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/915091590702148155/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/well-so-last-days-have-been-pretty.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/915091590702148155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/915091590702148155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/well-so-last-days-have-been-pretty.html' title=''/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S1NsmHuPJvI/AAAAAAAAAEk/COLGBm06qFo/s72-c/DSC00922.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-5472566609941861423</id><published>2010-01-13T17:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T17:50:32.960-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wide awake and dreaming</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S054XbaL6sI/AAAAAAAAAEE/d-B3Y6Vjw7w/s1600-h/031.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S054XbaL6sI/AAAAAAAAAEE/d-B3Y6Vjw7w/s320/031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426406944917940930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S054Lqx48kI/AAAAAAAAAD8/5UJfarUm2EI/s1600-h/051.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S054Lqx48kI/AAAAAAAAAD8/5UJfarUm2EI/s320/051.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426406742885462594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0533VB6lSI/AAAAAAAAAD0/x1tmaBuGA2I/s1600-h/044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0533VB6lSI/AAAAAAAAAD0/x1tmaBuGA2I/s320/044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426406393449714978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S053oPrRSJI/AAAAAAAAADs/SIJg3ICdmUg/s1600-h/043.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S053oPrRSJI/AAAAAAAAADs/SIJg3ICdmUg/s320/043.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426406134314518674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S053QkwemJI/AAAAAAAAADk/kr6DcAGntIw/s1600-h/042.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S053QkwemJI/AAAAAAAAADk/kr6DcAGntIw/s320/042.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426405727656646802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S05278g8pVI/AAAAAAAAADc/Xt0wfH-omA4/s1600-h/036.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S05278g8pVI/AAAAAAAAADc/Xt0wfH-omA4/s320/036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426405373256705362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S052wQFPVkI/AAAAAAAAADU/D5dacTXXLok/s1600-h/033.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S052wQFPVkI/AAAAAAAAADU/D5dacTXXLok/s320/033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426405172350768706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday was my first day at school, for this week I'm only following Tessa in her classes. I go to Bloomington High School North (1500 students), really different from what I'm used to. The colors of the school are maroon and gold, so we have maroom days and gold days, our mascot is a cougar. Monday was a gold day, so we went to Economics, T.A. (Teachers assistance - German), lunch, Algebra II and English. Tuesday was a maroon day, so we had Intership (Tessa does an intership at Monroe Hospital, she helps the nurses), lunch, algebra II and chemistry. The cool thing was that i actually already knew what they are studying in math and chemistry, so i helped Tessa. In the hospital we had this little accident, hahahaha, i watched an IV and almost passed out, hahahaha. Today, Wednesday, i got my own schedule: at gold days i have Ethnic Studies, American Literature, French II and World History. At maroon days i have U.S. History, Economics, Psychology and Etymology. I even got a locker!!! The bad thing is i'm not having any classes or lunch with Tessa, her lunch is A, mine is B at maroon days and C at gold days. People at school are great, i met so many people i can't even remember everyone's names, and we were told that lunch at school were bad and it's not bad at all! You can have whatever you want, tacos, chicken, pizza, real food..  &lt;br /&gt;Outside school, everything is great! I'm actually posting from my brand new laptop, and i also bought an orange ipod! We made brownies and watched The Hangover. It's been an amazing time. Today was warmer and sunny, so we went to a park and for a walk downtown, Bloomington is really amazing.&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;Segunda-feira foi meu primeiro dia de escola, durante essa semana eu so estou indo com a Tessa nas aulas dela. Eu vou pra Bloomington High School North (1500 alunos), bem diferente do que eu estou acostumada. As cores da escola sao marrom e ouro, entao nos temos dias marrons e dias ouro, o nosso mascote e uma puma. Segunda-feira era um dia ouro, entao nos fomos pra aula de economia, T.A. (assistencia para professores - ajudando na aula de alemao), almoco, Algebra II e ingles. Terca-feira era um dia marrom entao nos fomos pro estagio da Tessa (ela faz estagio no Monroe Hospital, ajudando as enfermeiras), almoco, algebra II e quimica. Foi legal que eu ja sabia o que eles estao estudando em matematica e quimica, entao eu ajudei a Tessa. No hospital nos tivemos esse pequeno acidente, hahahaha, eu vi a enfermeira colocando o soro numa paciente e quase desmaiei, hahahahaha. Hoje, quarta-feira, eu fiz meu cronograma de aulas: em dias ouro eu tenho Estudos Etnicos, Literatura Americana, Frances II, Historia mundial. Em dias marrons eu tenho Historia dos E.U.A., Economia, Psicologia e Etimologia. Tenho ate um locker so meu! hahahahah. A unica coisa ruim e que eu nao tenho nenhuma aula ou almoco com a Tessa, o almoco dela e sempre A, e o meu e B em dias marrons e C em dias ouro. As pessoas na escola sao bem legais, conheci tanta gente que nem lembro o nome de todo mundo. Nos disseram que o almoco nas escolas era ruim, e nao e na verdade. Tem qualquer coisa que a gente quiser, tacos, frango, pizza, refeicoes de verdade alem de fast food. &lt;br /&gt;Fora da escola, tudo esta otimo tambem. Na verdade, eu estou postando isso do meu novo laptop! e eu tambem comprei um ipod laranja!!! Nos fizemos brownies e assistimos "se beber nao case", tem sido maravilhoso. Hoje o dia estava mais quente e ensolarado, entao nos fomos em um parque e fizemos um passeio pelo centro. Bloomington e realmente demais!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-5472566609941861423?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/5472566609941861423/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/wide-awake-and-dreaming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/5472566609941861423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/5472566609941861423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/wide-awake-and-dreaming.html' title='Wide awake and dreaming'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S054XbaL6sI/AAAAAAAAAEE/d-B3Y6Vjw7w/s72-c/031.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-3680485491471237166</id><published>2010-01-11T12:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-11T12:13:34.542-08:00</updated><title type='text'>10/01</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uGHqkKaxI/AAAAAAAAADM/lJ39SWYmRjY/s1600-h/DSC00882.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uGHqkKaxI/AAAAAAAAADM/lJ39SWYmRjY/s320/DSC00882.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425577642341067538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uF5Lylh5I/AAAAAAAAADE/S8Hb_vluOmo/s1600-h/DSC00881.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uF5Lylh5I/AAAAAAAAADE/S8Hb_vluOmo/s320/DSC00881.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425577393561896850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uFwrpNW0I/AAAAAAAAAC8/2_cTnKcYwrk/s1600-h/DSC00880.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uFwrpNW0I/AAAAAAAAAC8/2_cTnKcYwrk/s320/DSC00880.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425577247493675842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we woke up and drove around, so i could see Bloomington, it was too cold so we went to Holly's, after that we went to the mall and went to Emily's (sister -18) place. Kelly (mom) cooked and it was very very good. We went sledding!!! Me, Tessa and Sam (brother - 11 years-old), it was soooooooooooooooo great! After that, hot shower, cause i couldnt even feel my feet. Tessa took me to her favorite spot in Bloomington - a very nice spot, btw. We talked a lot, i tried to teach her a little samba, even though she couldn't do it, she tried to teach me how to juggle, she can, i can't. And i ate the so typical peanut butter! And my luggage arrived, we left a note on the door, if they came, to let it in the truck, they did! &lt;br /&gt;                                  **&lt;br /&gt;Hoje nos acordamos e passeamos pela cidade pra que eu pudesse ver Bloomington, estava muito frio entao nos fomos na casa da Holly, depois fomos no shopping e no apartamento da Emily (host-irma, 18 anos). A Kelly (host mae) fez comida, alguma coisa realmente boa que eu ainda nao conhecia. Nos fomos fazer SLED (nao sei a exata traducao pra isso, mas e na neve com um tipo de prancha, descendo a montanha de neve). Eu, Tessa e Sam (host irmao, 11 anos), foi muuuuuuitooooo legal! Depois, um banho bemmmmm quente porque eu mal conseguia sentir os meus pes. Tessa me levou no lugar favorito dela em Bloomington - super bonito, inclusive. Nos conversamos bastante e eu tentei ensinar ela a sambar, mas ela nao conseguiu. Ela tentou me ensinar malabarismo, ela consegue, eu obviamente nao consegui. Ah, e conheci a tao famosa "pasta de amendoim". Minha bagagem chegou! deixamos um bilhete na porta dizendo pra que se eles viessem, deixassem dentro do carro. Eles deixaram!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1946703239651010928-3680485491471237166?l=mslaner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/feeds/3680485491471237166/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/1001.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/3680485491471237166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1946703239651010928/posts/default/3680485491471237166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mslaner.blogspot.com/2010/01/1001.html' title='10/01'/><author><name>Mari</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18033995095835150556</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/Sz0N_08qj6I/AAAAAAAAABY/_EnGb0-c_6k/S220/aniver+mariana+04-09+(5).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0uGHqkKaxI/AAAAAAAAADM/lJ39SWYmRjY/s72-c/DSC00882.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946703239651010928.post-4001598591020991797</id><published>2010-01-10T06:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T18:36:00.649-08:00</updated><title type='text'>First Day on a Brand New Planet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOivz-yGI/AAAAAAAAAC0/bnX6xfcFh2M/s1600-h/OgAAAMZPBLUHb55hUM3gm1vA_9bXH7KIEn6NUkMWmshR84cxWWu3-QqJYSZtXwLAJ-3w0temR9zY9ZdAk9-eIaz0qj8Am1T1UAFjLWn5oPN1qPrk7tfGRRQzEC-W.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOivz-yGI/AAAAAAAAAC0/bnX6xfcFh2M/s320/OgAAAMZPBLUHb55hUM3gm1vA_9bXH7KIEn6NUkMWmshR84cxWWu3-QqJYSZtXwLAJ-3w0temR9zY9ZdAk9-eIaz0qj8Am1T1UAFjLWn5oPN1qPrk7tfGRRQzEC-W.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425305428722370658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOcFb9EuI/AAAAAAAAACs/tMw8fo5nvg8/s1600-h/OgAAAL7CFFuXrroIjZPi8InGauzlIl2rKlxuvJ3_fBv96TwLloYoEa76eG9e6JZmfmRiGtwNKvq1fsB2hPG-YbHWlSUAm1T1UH1Qqn49GxhKsZQC2cG2pXl0l71q.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOcFb9EuI/AAAAAAAAACs/tMw8fo5nvg8/s320/OgAAAL7CFFuXrroIjZPi8InGauzlIl2rKlxuvJ3_fBv96TwLloYoEa76eG9e6JZmfmRiGtwNKvq1fsB2hPG-YbHWlSUAm1T1UH1Qqn49GxhKsZQC2cG2pXl0l71q.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425305314268091106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOVIZv9iI/AAAAAAAAACk/4yDN9q8tlUc/s1600-h/OgAAAIcKjup33KB07h1zfIq89a-J4vD4lEcO4BCh_AjtB-_fmEEHtm6y7voXCCm6e72lgVxfTpk_5VY8_w2o5hI8YY4Am1T1UEHczIGJj5Z6MUWsCRKNGivET7GR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qOVIZv9iI/AAAAAAAAACk/4yDN9q8tlUc/s320/OgAAAIcKjup33KB07h1zfIq89a-J4vD4lEcO4BCh_AjtB-_fmEEHtm6y7voXCCm6e72lgVxfTpk_5VY8_w2o5hI8YY4Am1T1UEHczIGJj5Z6MUWsCRKNGivET7GR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425305194805065250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qM1quJ9vI/AAAAAAAAACc/8rn-mq3vxdU/s1600-h/SANY1057.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z12_hLsT_TM/S0qM1quJ9vI/AAAAAAAAACc/8rn-mq3vxdU/s320/SANY1057.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425303554750019314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we are, after a long long day in planes and airports, we got safely in Indianapolis, but our luggage didn't. I'm still waiting for them to deliver it here in Bloomington. &lt;br /&gt;So Leslie, Jhani, Rachael and a friend of hers went to the airport to pick us up, we went to Cracker Barrel, ate pancakes with blueberrys and maple syrup, it was really good. Then we went over to Jhani's place and played in the snow (it's so cold here, there's snow everywhere, yesterday was like -10 C, today is even colder). When our families arrived we had to say goodbye to each other and went home. My family is great! We drove to Bloomington, 1 hour from Indy. Tessa (sister) and I still went to a school basketball game, South X North, unfortunaly South won, it was really fun!!!&lt;br /&gt;                                  **&lt;br /&gt;Depois de uma longuissima viagem entre avios e aeroportos, chegamos com seguranca (nao tenho acentos ou cedilha aqui!) em Indianapolis, mas nossa bagagem nao chegou. Ainda estou esperando que eles entreguem a minha aqui em Bloomington!&lt;br /&gt;Entao, a Leslie, Jhani, Rachael e uma amiga foram nos buscar no aeroport. Nos fomos ao Cracker Barrel, comemos panquecas com blueberrys e maple syrup, bommm! Fomos para a casa da Jhani e brincamos na neve (muito frio, tem neve por todos os lados, ontem a temperatura era de -10 C, hoje esta mais frio ainda). Quando nossas familias chegaram, nos despedimos e fomos cada um pra sua casa. Minha familia e otima. Nos viemos para Bloomington, que fica a 1 hora de Indy.
