This week, I got to teach for the first time. After being a student for 18 years, it’s an interesting experience. It’s more fun than I thought, especially when the students actually learn something. Of course, there’s always the bully, and the kid depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. But for the most part, it’s a lot of fun. I also did a presentation about multiculturalism, which went very well.
Since there is no dryer in the house, I have been putting off laundry for a few days. When I finally decided to do it, the washing machine was going for two hours and counting. It turns out that the ‘white’ load is six hours long, so I had to manually skip to rinse.
I went to buy something from a store nearby, and while I was there it started raining cats and dogs. Due to bad judgement, I didn’t have my umbrella. I waited a little bit, but it showed no signs of stopping. I ran back home, and in ten minutes I was completely soaked. Great Brazilian weather myth: busted.
After only two weeks of work, I have the whole week off for Carnival. I will be in Rio for most of it because I managed to get cheap accommodation. The amount of excitement I have is over 9,000. Do you know what I meme?

Fun Fact: The population of Lebanon is 4,000,000. There are about 7,000,000 Lebanese people in Brazil. The current vice-president of Brazil, the governor of São Paulo state, and the mayor of São Paulo are all Lebanese Brazilian.
