Spring Break

My spring break was... Well my spring break was pretty normal, not super exciting but not boring at all. My first plan was do what everyone wants in a break, travel, but it didn't really worked how i was planning. I stayed at home, well my host home. In the whole break my schedule was: wake up after 12, watch a episode of Prison Break, after that i help my host father with some choirs and at last but not least I would hang out with some friends. Usually Erasmo pick me up and we decided what to do, mostly we went to Boise with friends or watch a movie. One of these days I hang out with a hipster friend too, her name... Olivia Grinder. Was pretty fun we went to a coffee shop were she would sing, about that place, weird music and weird songs, the coffee was pretty good though. We went to Urban Outfitters too, I just love that store and to end the night pizza in downtown boise. I had pretty good days this break but all them following this path. But how every thing that good dont last much,I had to back to school.

I draw, therefore I am

So here we go again... This post supposed to be in somehow related with me, myself and I. Kind of selfish it! My first idea was talk about my country, Brazil, but… I thought that this was too much cliché. Cruel doubt, after a lot think I decided to talk about the reason that brought me here to that school. It is, my love to draw and arts in general. Ok most of exchange students can’t choose where they are going but… yeah I didn’t choose either, luck or not so much? My love for art begun when I was a lot younger. Pretty much it happened when I just decided that I wasn’t good in most of existent sports. I was trying new things and so I found this art school in my city. For months I was just in love about that school and when I got in this felling just got bigger. I found out something that I was actually good. I studied for three years and after that I never stopped. So when I sent my application I sent with that a copy of an old drawing, my company because of that directs me for this school and here I am. And you know what? I just LOVE IACS!

Two ordinary weeks.

February, I cannot believe that is already frebruary. I past so fast, and in the 14th of this mounth will be my 6 mounths in US aniversary and it brought me to a conclusion I have just 4 mounths more. Its unbelivable how could past so fast. But in this two past weeks I've been thinking a lot about that. Just two normal weeks, nothing exiting but ordinary. Aways in my same routine monday thru friday classes, Satuday hang out with frinds and Sunday,you know, NOTHING. But thats the point, this two weeks made me think th why past so fast. And in those two weeks gave me an answer. It became a routine! Is kinda weird but I don't feel like someone in a foreign country anymore, I'm feeling at home. And after all that is the conclusion of my two last weeks: Nothing out of commum but a great conclusion.

302 days.

My name, my name is Arthur Marques and I'm a foreigner. I'm a Brazilian guy in the United States of America. 302 long days away from home. 302 days living a totally different culture, in a family that i did not know before. 302 days hanging out with "Uncle Sam". In this blog I'll kinda tell my life in a weird and totally different country. Why? A English class assignment, yes that was not my idea! So will try to with my " adventures" entertain you reader ( what i honestly doubt that is more than one person). So do what you want to do and enjoy your self.
