Sorry I didn't proof read these, I'm going to the airport in 20 minutes

Hey whats up everyone. So I realize this blog has really fallen off but I still appreciate all of you reading my attempts to keep this updated and indulging my huge ego. Believe it or not, I have finished my classes and I leave for Rio tomorrow! Over the last week, we had a group Thanksgiving among other goodbye events. We had Thanksgiving at the house of the program directors parents along the river of this nice beach town a little outside Salvador. The house was a great location but, like most EAP group things, food ran out within minutes. The much better party happened the next day at the penthouse apartment of my friends host family above us. If Jay-Z was giving a tour of this place on MTV Cribs I wouldn’t blink. Its so nice and has a huge open patio that outlooks the park and the bay. There was a guy making drinks with four different types of fruit and amble amounts of even more delicious food. His host dad is really humble and one of the best people I’ve met. He always makes me feel at home, but I got to admit he didn’t have to try to hard because his place is so cool. It was a tease coming into the final week in which I had a ten minute Portuguese presentation, a final paper and finals in both classes. It was intense, but I made it out okay and on the final day we had one more good-bye dinner at a nice steakhouse on the beach. Most of my friends have already taken off, but as of now I’m getting my stuff together and soaking in my final days in Salvador before I leave. Stay tuned for Rio and Buenos Aires! See you all soon (except you, I don’t like you).
