Interview

Guys, as I told you, today I had a job interview at the IEL. Well, it was a very good moment for me, I felt really pleasant and confident. The institute is still under structuring, but in a short term there'll be a huge opportunity to work there. According to my stepdad's description, the pays are quite good. However, wages haven't been metioned yet. I'm really confident and hopeful to get something to start my life after college, at last.

Next Thursday (May 22), there'll be a holiday in Brazil, called Corpus Christi (just like the beach in Texas), to honor the body of Christ. In our countryside, large rugs, made of colorful sawdust, make a nice way to a religious celebration.

In this day, my family and I will be traveling to Punta del Este, a celebrated beach in the coast of Uruguay. A lot of famous people from around the world and wealthy people from Brazil and Argentina go there, especially during our summer (December to March). The beaches and the hillsides are fantastic, and the views, breathtaking.

We'll be traveling by car, since there were no flights available to the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo (note: this is the nearest airport we can reach from Porto Alegre, since that direct flights into Punta del Este are seasonal only). It's quite a long trip: more than 8 hours, driving for more than 500 miles (800 km). It will be great and there'll be lots of fun. Well, that's all for today, there'll be more tomorrow. So long, everybody!
