The first week I stayed here in Belo Horizonte, I used this time to go to the gym and to meet my friends. One of them was going to an exchange program to New Zealand so I spent some time with her since I am going to see her again only next year. One day I went to a friend´s house and we cooked fondue.
During the second week I went to Porto Seguro in Bahia with my family. My aunts have houses there, so we stayed with them. We went to the beach, ate in very good restaurants and even went to Arraial da Ajuda, a city very close to Porto. It rained a lot there, which was kind of bad, but I was able to spend a lot of time with my great-grandmother who I hadn´t seen for a long time.
When I came back from my trip, I used the rest of the time I had to get some rest. I was very tired from the first semester in school, so I slept a lot, watched a lot of movies and series and went to the gym. My mom saw my free time as an opportunity to take me to all the doctors I had to go since during classes I never have time.
I said to myself that I would study during vacations, especially the subjects I have more difficulty wit, but honestly, I didn’t even try. I really needed to rest.
I can´t believe that classes started already, and I will have to go back to waking up at six in the morning, spend nights without sleep because I have to study and have to put up with a lot of boring classes. But it is ok because in four months I have vacations again!
