P.S.: Desculpa a demora do post, mas é que eu tenho tido muita coisa pra fazer e tudo mais.
The long-awaited day.
I woke with my dad calling me, everything was dark, I grabbed my phone and saw that it was 5:40 am of September 4, 2011. My dad would run in a race and I wanted to see he running before my travel. I had to pack some more things and the check in time was coming. I put my TravelMate's shirt , which when I won I thought "My God, it will take so long for me to wear this shirt "and it I was wearing it. I arrived at the airport, and I stayed a little bit with family and with my friend who went with her family to say goodbye, I checked in and waited anxiously for the shipment. The time has come, I was saying goodbye to everyone and I started to cry (I'm crying now remembering the moment ... haha) but I was so excited, I was going to accomplish one of my biggest dreams, this is everything . After hugs and more hugs, tears and more tears I embarked to São Paulo. I arrived there at 15:20 pm and my flight was just at 8pm, so I waited with others exchange students, I ate there and embarked to Toronto. It was a very good plane. It has individual television and the food was very good. The airline was approved. I arrived in Toronto at 5:30 in the morning of Sept. 5. I did everything I had to do alone and I had no problem, I grabbed my baggage. The others exchange students' departure gate was totally away from mine, so I was alone. I stayed there about 2 hours until the time for the last flight, the flight that took me to my dream. I ended up sleeping the whole flight. I arrived at the airport in Halifax at 12:35 pm and my host mother, Crystal, my host sister, Malin, and my Canadian coordinator, Melissa, were there waiting for me. We got home, I unpacked my bags, gave gifts and Crystal took us for a trip to Halifax. And the city is more beautiful than I imagined. We returned home I took a shower and went straight to bed, I was dying of fatigue.
P.S.: I'm sorry about the delay, but I've had a lot to do.
