I gave up! No, I didn’t give up my classes, or my diet, or my husband… I gave up studying for one night! I can’t anymore! My brain is not able to retain any additional piece of information. Yes, I should read a case for tomorrow, think about questions to a meeting, prepare a presentation… but I am in my bed, with my lovely husband, ready to watch a movie! I do think I deserve that. more…

Ok, I know the title of my post doesn’t make any sense, but I wanted to talk about food and the base of my Sunday: a really boring and timing consuming case to Decision Models class. Just to have an idea, Sarah spent 4 hours in my home, Jacqueline 2 hours, and at night we “met” again via skype to finish our project! I love those ladies, but it was definetely not the way I would like to spend my Sunday! more…
Although my day was really busy, a spent only 2 hours at team meetings. The rest of the things were really nice.
1. Tide Loads of Hope: P&G has that program to help people that suffer the consequences of natural disasters. Some students at my school created an initiative to engage students in that cause. The goal was help Haiti through a competition among students. We needed to collect the biggest amount of clothes and also do a scavenger hunt at our school. We put collected 10 big bags of clothes, but were not enough to win the competition. But we had a lot of fun! more…
Today was a nice day. Not so busy. I mean a lot of activities all day long, but not busy in the study aspect! Classes in the morning, team meeting at lunch, selling tickets to Latin party tomorrow and MALL! I don’t remember the last time I went to the mall. It is sad that it became almost a special event… and I need to plan ahead and try to find window in my schedule. more…
In one of my classes I teamed with 2 SY (second year students). They are great and I am glad of having the opportunity to meet them. But more than nice and smart people, all are married. But one of them, an Indian guy, is really different from me, or maybe I should say his culture is completely opposite of mine, Brazilian girl.
In one of the first day we met, he told me he got married last December with a girl he had only 3 meetings and was arranged between families. I don’t think you understood me: 3 meetings! Family choice! Just talking! No hands! No kisses! No, nothing! No notion of any minimum chemistry between them… and you know what? He is happy, really happy! Maybe we make things worse trying to find the perfect guy, and love before married. Indians learned how to get married and they learn how to love! So different… more…

The week started today and I am already tired… can wait to the end of the term! I need to spend a whole day at bed to feel good again. The good thing of today is that the week also started with a nice dinner. Our marketing club cabinet gets together! And guess what? A sushi place, a new one! M. Fuji! Delicious… I tried new rolls and now need to take my husband there with me.
Besides that today was a normal day and I doing have so many things to write… more…
Yesterday I wrote about everything I would need to do today! The day is in the end and I didn’t accomplish my goal!
“Tomorrow I have team meeting, clean home, grocery, study and family…” From this entire list, I just did team meeting, study and family… of course my home was not my priority again! I know that is not a political thing to say, but I do miss Maria José (a lot!!!). She was my made in Brazil… in that time I could focus in my work, husband and friends without think about my house! more…
My day was divided by team meeting, lunch with my friend´s friends (Thank you Sarah! Loved to meet your friends!), study, personal finance and finally dinner with friends! A busy day… I am tired and a little bit sick, but ready for my super busy Sunday! Tomorrow I have team meeting, clean home, grocery, study and family…
First of all, thank you for the comments in my yesterday’s post … Re, I will send you an email this weekend! Today I had a mix of emotions: sometimes deeply sad, other times just ok and at night I was happy! I tried to think positive and just look the good side, but I realized that I can’t force myself to do that… as my friend said, it is important some tougher times to make us think about our life, the purpose, the mysteries, the whys… more…
I tried to believe that I would lose weight this week, even knowing I was not a good girl in a diet challenge. Not that I ate a lot of food, but every day I ate at least 300 calories more than my goal. Worse than that, I didn’t eat nutritious food, but fatty food. That is result of lack of healthy food and fruits at home added to the fact that I had a lot of events the last week. more…
