Some realizations

So I'm back in Brasilia and I was kinda depressed last night because I realized that in Brazil I am sooooo unhealthy. I eat dinner at 10 pm practically everynight! I hate it. I haven't exercised in about 3 weeks and I just feel really blah. I started my first day of AIESEC work. We're trying to match a bunch of developmental internships for June 1st, 2007. Anyone know someone interested? Its working with social entrepreneurship and facilitate the exportation of goods for a bunch of craftman. I think its similar to Ten Thousand Villages. We're hoping to do something like there here. Its not paid but living and food should be covered.

Anyways, so just talking to people about the fact my camera and nano were possibly dead, I was just really sad, frustrated and annoyed. I don't have the necessary paperwork here to send in my nano and its just so annoying to think of having to deal with it all so far from home. I tested both out today and thank God my camera works but my nano has water damage in it. I can see on the screen. I hope I can send it in. I can't even remember when I bought it. I guess I was little homesick yesterday while going out to eat, they had this chicken and cheese bun which looked just like our Chinese Buns back home and it made me miss home. We laughed a lot during the car ride to go try Açai (an Amazonian fruit) because of me trying to guess what they were saying and I was totally off hehe. Yes, I have brought my randomness to Brazil too.

Oh Manry, I hope your nano is fine, and that you find a way to send it in. I miss youuuu, and I see how you can feel home sick, I would as well. But no worries, time to go home will be here before you know it :)

aw manry! don't worry - i figured that everyone would be walking everywhere in karachi, but it's not the case! we drive everywhere. we don't even go out to get food - we only get delivery!! the furthest i've walked has probably been the equivalent of 2 blocks - it's crazy!

don't worry about yr nano - i'm sure you can get it fixed!!

i'll put in a good word about those dt internships!! what are the tn numbers??

chin up, manry :)
