Its almost 2 in the morning and I just finished packing! It has been such a long day-oh my god! I cant believe Im moving again- this is insane! I get comfortable in one place and then I have to move! (I love it though!) Im really going to miss this host family- they have been so nice! Its funny, every time I think I had the best family ever, and then the next family is also perfect..
I spent the last week in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and even though its pretty much in the middle of nowhere, it has been an amazing week for me! One of the girls in the cast has a sister who lives here and offered to host me and 2 other girls and it has been great! I stayed with Julie from Minnesota (her sister Angie and her husband Tony- both 28- were our host "parents"), Emilie from Belgium and Andriana from Brazil. I dont think I have ever laughed so hard in just one week. These girls are just funny! We came home after a long day and just had wine in the hot tub and chatted for hours.. Just perfect! The house is pretty and tidy and after staying at the Salvation Army, a cosy home was all I needed!
This week's Community Impact project was the best! I got to work at the "Casa de Carlitos", a home for children from Mexico that come to the U.S for medical treatment. I met Armando, an 8-year old boy who had aplastic anemia, but he is doing a lot better now. He lived in the "casa" for about 2 years, then went back to Mexico and he came again for examinations a few days ago. We were cutting trees together and then we played UNO, and he came to our show today with his dad. Im crazy about him, hes this beautiful intelligent little boy, hes so fun to be with! Im definitely going to visit him in Mexico one day.
On Saturday I saw live american football for the first time! We went to the Dakota Bowl to perform during half time and we got to see the game. I have a slight idea of whats going on now- and Im not sure I like it, its just violent! But I loved (LoVed LOVED) performing on the field- it was soo much fun! I never thought I would say that, but I enjoyed it so much! The show was the only part of the Up with People program that I didnt think I would like, but I simply love it! I sing and dance like there's no tomorrow and I dont care- I feel Im on Broadway!
So tomorrow we go to Waukesha, Wisconsin. A new week, a new adventure, a whole new life begins again. Our last city in the U.S. I hope I have a good family and good roomates! Every Monday its the same, u dont know where you are gonna end up for the week. Its crazy!!
Next week, Japan. Hasnt quite hit me yet.. I ll believe it when Im there!
Again, sorry for not emailing, sleep is too valuable to sacrifise and when I do sacrifise it, I write in my blog so everyone can read it. I dont think I ll have much Internet access in Japan, but I ll try to keep you updated.
ps: Words of wisdom from Adriana from Brazil: 1) Live your darn life 2) You dont have time to make all the mistakes in the world, you have to learn from other people's mistakes.
