"I love getting older. My understanding deepens. I can see what connects. I can weave stories of experience and apply them. I can integrate the lessons. Things simply become more and more fascinating. Beauty reveals itself in thousands of forms."

Hey everyone!
During the last week of February, we got a surprised visit from Europe: the exchange student of my neighbour, who was here 2 years ago, came to visit her, and I got the opportunity to meet him. While he was here, my neighbour took us (my host sis, her exchange student and me), to the city, so in that way we would visit the Natural History Museum of America.
I have been in the Natural History Museum of London twice, but I have to say that the one in New York is a thousand times better (I'm sorry London, don't hate me because of that).
I had a lot of fun. We saw all the animals from America, the ones that live in the ocean, the Native American Gallery, the African one... The only thing that I wanted to see but we couldn't because it was closed, was the planetarium (maybe next time). That weekend was awesome!
The next week, something awesome happened too. When you love reading books and Harry Potter drives you crazy, it is normal to get crazy and excited, when you can watch all the movies of the series in just one weekend, (thanks Free Form for making my weekend). I spent the whole weekend watching the eight movies.
And the day came...
Thursday, March 10th. A special day for me... It was the day that I turned 17!
I woke up as usual, but I was really nervous. Once I was awake, I just saw a lot of messages from my family and friends wishing me a happy birthday, they also wrote me loooong texts (which made me cry), and after that, I opened my birthday gifts. I liked them all! (Thanks to both of my families).
Later, I was on my way to have breakfast, when I found Birthday balloons and a note from my host sister. I couldn't believe it! I got birthday balloons! :'(
Once I was done with the hair, make-up and clothes, I grabbed my balloons and went to the school. When I arrived at school, everybody who knows me (or is an unknown person for me), wished me a happy birthday, and I was smiling all the time (I swear I couldn't stop).
When I got home, I relaxed a little bit and thought how awesome my birthday was... It was the first time that I felt good with myself; I didn't think about what people would say, I just enjoyed as much as I could, and I did.
Two days later, I celebrated my birthday at home with my hosts. We ate my birthday cake... Vanilla Cake with buttercream (I already miss it). It was sooooo tasty... But it was also funny, because I wore a birthday hat lml.
So now, I'm going to write some words...
Thank you to everybody who wished me a happy birthday!
Muchísimas gracias a todos mis amigos que se acordaron de mí por ese día y decir que lo valoro y mucho.
Muito obrigado, familia, por tudo.
And thank you to all my friends and unknown people here in the school, who made me smile almost 24/7.
Also thank you bk2 and, thank you family and hosts!
Thanks to y'all, it was the best birthday that I could ever have.
Love always,
Nereu
