Snow day!

Hello people!

The third week had just started and we received the news that we would have a "snow day". But what is a snow day? In Brazil we don't have that, we barely have snow (but we do!).

Snow day is like a holiday, students love it (I loved it), because classes are canceled due to weather conditions, in Austin's case: ice. Yes, ice, not snow. An icy rain arrived in the city and left frozen the roads, sidewalks and also trees, preventing cars and buses from traveling safely, so almost everything closes, and people stay at home where it is warm.

We really enjoyed the snow days, we were exausted, and three days a tour apartment let us rest, read, watch series, conect with each other and cook! Fabiana, who lives with me, cooked some brazilian food and it was heaven, and our teacher Megan did a zoom call teaching us how to bake cookies and brownies, they were deliecious.

Well, three days just passed super fast and on Friday our classes returned, but I will tell you guys about this on the next post. XOXO

    Fernanda, those three “snow days” were really a different experience: a good Brazilian lunch, zooms with Meghan, moments to rest, lots of beautiful photos, laughs…Good memories….

    Ice does look very pretty but ... What kind of cookies did you guys make?

1st week in Austin Tx

Hello people! Here I am in Austin, Texas!!! I'm so excited to share with you everything I'm experiencing here. That first week was crazy! So tiring! We just arrived and the activities started! On Monday we were welcomed with pizza! It was delicious! And our apartment is amazing, so cozy and cool. On Tuesday we had a welcome meeting with some important information about the university and the course. In the afternoon we did a city tour, in which we could see some beautiful places in the city. On Wednesday classes started, and the rush. You don't think it's easy, because it's not. We got lost between classes and the cafeteria, we arrived late to some classes even though we left places early. At night we were exhausted. On Thursday I wasn't feeling well so I went back home to get some rest and went back to college to eat in the evening. On Friday there were more classes and in the afternoon we visited the capitol of the city, which is a historic and very beautiful ...

                                                                        San Antonio Hello people! Fourth week, and we began to prepare to say goodbye to Austin. In about 10 days we are leaving the lone star state to come back to Brazil. So many great experiences we lived. A very fun experience I had was visiting the city of San Antonio. The city is very beautiful and full of life. During our day there we took a boat tour which was incredible! During the tour our guide was talking about the buildings and the history of the city, but to be honest I was so impressed by the beauty of the place that I barely listened to him. Sorry! We also got to know the place where the Alamo was, I didn't see ruins or anything, but we walked through what was the site of an important battle for American history. In addition to...
