(no subject)
i was bored so i'd thought i'd update. i worked 10 1/2 hours yesterday. i'm tired! i only worked 6 today but still. the sweet thing is they never schedule me for any weekends so i'm free to attend all those parties i'm not invited to.
in other news, i am learning to speak portuguese. o aprendendo a falar portugues. it's fun. but all the brazilians at work talk so fast it's hard to understand and keep up. sometimes it's frustrating but sometimes you get somewhere. usually it talks 3 or 4 people (including myself) to have a conversation or even ask a question because we all have different levels of english-portuguese comprehension. it's kinda funny. like, today it took 5 people including 2 of my managers to tell the new girl katcha(sp?) she looks young. it was such a big deal for one word i couldn't get. it's hard, too, because i learned spanish in school and i have that mindset and that pronunciation. portuguese, contrary to popular belief, isn't that much like spanish. it is a little bit as in verbs and such but nouns sometimes are way different. katcha is new so i was trying to ask her simple things, her name, age, and such but she only understands a tiny bit of spanish and no english and i only speak a tiny bit or portuguese and spanish.
what else...nothing really. oh wait, my cousin's wedding is tomorrow. heh, i hope i still have a date...
