I havnt written in ages, but ive been busy doing awesome things so its all good.
So, Ricky was in my house then Strath and Logan came as well. We all got ready for my formal looking all snazzy, strath was loving being all dressed up, which suprised everyone haha.We took some photos with my mum and cousin, thn we headed to Sisso's Hall. We were there for a while getting professional photos and things until it was time to separate. The boys had to go to their table while i went on stage with the 250 other students. for the next 4 hours people sang, gave speechs and videosfrom events through the year were show. was so good to reflect on the moments ive passed when the videos were shown. so during that tie 'water bottles' were being passed around and everyone was sweating like crazy. Then everyone had a delicious dinner until the party started. The party was good but kinda strange that id never seen most of the people again. So we made the most of the night and then found a lift home as the sun started coming up. I think we didnt even sleep that night, or we slept for like an hour, either way we got our bags together and went straight to Floripa! That night we had a rotary party, which turned out awesome as.was good to see the exchangies after oktoberfest and meet a few more new ones. So we all slept there with like 10 mattresses joined together. the next day logan, ricky and i went to see a movie, we had a pretty sweet time. The day after that Logan, Clare and I caught a plane to São Paulo. We stayed at Tom Rules house that night, was good to see that bloke again. the next day we slept in, and then picked up Clares sister from the airport. Clare hid and we pretended that she missed her plane and tried to make the sister come with us. was pretty awkward at the start but clare ran up to us and the sisters hugged and stuff. That night we went out with some exchange students and had some fun, and the next day just played around the house with Toms brother and stuff. After that Logan and I went to logans brothers university to have some fun with them, then back to their house, and in the morning we trekked our way to the hotel with all our bags, to start the amazing 1 month trip in the north east of Brasil.

I could write for days about the northeast trip, it was one of the best months of my life, maybe even the best. the people were so amazing and we all got so close in the end. so glad i did the trip. so instead of writing all about it ill here is the blog that was made by the company&nbsp;http://nordestenovdez2001.blogspot.com/&nbsp;the only problem is, is that its in Portuguese. but just looking at the pictures you can tell what we did.

Now I'm back in Criciuma. The day i go back was my sisters 21st birthday. the next day we took a stroll on the beach and swam in the lake. then yesterday we, my sis, diego, gaúcho and me, went to the beach for a surf, then for a BBQ, then for some fun in the lake, then back to the beach for another surf. i caught some sick waves and left with satisfaction. i aslo took some pretty cool pics of some waves, they look like they are perfet, but the really wern't. then at night Gaúcho and I went to a mates farm house for the nightto chill with the boys. and now im getting ready to go to a nearby beach were they have had pro surfing competitions to stay the night! hopefully the waves are pumping. i'm making the most of my last 24 days in brasil!
