  It’s raining again. I rather like rain, especially the sort lately. Thunder-lightening a clash, trees falling, soaking wet. There is such beauty in nature’s violence, like an empirical formula of the unknown suddenly unlocked. São Paulo´s weather is as fickle as my mood, and I may just be starting to appreciate that. If I ever really do pursue an education abroad, this will be what I dearly miss. Nighttime during daytime, when everything is dead and alive at the same time. When the earth and the sky light up in one split second by a brilliant white flash, I like to see the world in that one second. Then there is the wind. I am a wind spirit, and wherever it goes, I follow. I am the freest then, during storms, when wind moans and tears and draw her patternless swirls upon the earth. Muy ermosa mi tierra… If my life were to imitate a thunderstorm, I would be perfectly content. It is so much more precious, so brief, and leaves such an aftertaste…the sweet smell of renewed earth under my nose.
  
  Of course, my life cannot imitate nature of any sort. Such analogies shall be left to gods and people of reverence, certainly not my banal life( I know I may be told off for this comment ). It is a life I am content with, however, yeah. Life has been good. My Spanish has greatly improved lately due to mass amount of Spanish music I´ve been listening to. The dictionary and Babel are my frequently used bookmarks. Bless them. My English is also getting better, having been forcing myself to read and speak it much more than my own language. My brand new friend Liliana ( and current American Lit teacher-at least until I hand in all my assingnments for teh test… ) has been helping me a lot. I sometimes get really amazed by how easy it is for me to learn languages. I should be less lazy and put my mind to something in that field. But not now… This is vacation time now… My writing sucks lately. I haven’t actually written in a long time. There are so many things to attend to and learn and do and experience. I just haven’t got time. Damn.

  
  

  Im traveling to Curitiba  (check more here)next week. Two  friends and I will go there for the weekend, and Im expecting to have some fun in the cold city I´ll try to post photos this time…. Now I need some rest. Yes, and dream
