So on Saturday of my fourth weekend I was invited to the birthday party of one of my classmates ( who has actually never said a word to me ) and I asked/dragged Alyssa along with me, as she wasn't doing anything.Getting to the party was the usual complicated ordeal of Tania talking with three girls from my class and giving them all the impression they were supposed to take me with them, and then informing me that Igor was driving me there, without telling everyone else that they no longer had to come and collect me.Sometimes my host mother just makes everything ten times more complicated than it needs to be.So I met up with Alyssa and some girls from my class and friends of theirs and then we had to have an epic hour long session of taking photos.Aishh... the amount of group photos some of those girls must have ended up with is probably staggering.Somehow it went from that to karaoke and they all insisted that Alyssa and I sing in english.Well I can't sing to save my life and neither can Alyssa, and we didn't even really know any of the songs they had in english ( or we neither of us knew the same one ).Eventually they gave up with us skirting the issue and just handed us the microphones and started to play my heart will go on, all why motioning at us to sing.Alyssa being of a rather uncomplying nature, stood up with me ,smiled at them and turned her mike off.Leaving me alone to serenade the Brasilians with a song that I ardently and wholeheartedly despise, they loved watching the poor american girl make a fool of herslf though, so it was all good fun.Then we both got the grand notion that if we sang along in portuguese it would improve our pronunciation. Not a terrible idea until Estella and another girl started to sing quite racy songs during which I promptly sat down with the other girls and laughed at Alyssa standing there sweetly singing in a valiant attempt to improve her portuguese ^_^. About halfway through the song she started to pay attention to the lyrics and was quite mortified for the rest of the evening.
I feel always feel ridiculous posting pictures of myself,note that in all my solo shots I usually don't look very happy as they are never ever my idea
This was extremely uncomfortable as we really are very squished onto that couch and are trying not to accidently sit on other people's cameras and drinks in the process
