Diante da acirrada disputa no mercado de trabalho, experiências no exterior como um intercâmbio passaram a ser por demais valorizadas pelos RHs da vida. Claro que quem tem bala na agulha vai fazer intercâmbio na Nova Zelândia, Alemanha, Inglaterra... Eu estou indo pros Estados Unidos, o estino escolhido por quem determinou o programa e criou o concurso de bolsas.

- Estados Unidos é intercâmbio de pobre.
- Mas pobre não faz intercâmbio!
- Faz sim, se tiver ganhado uma bolsa como eu!

Por isso, estou deixando família, amigos, faculdade, estágio pelo período máximo de 1 ano. Vou fazer parte de outra família. Estou partindo rumo à terra do Bush, do McDonalds, do country e de Hollywood. Não quero fazer a América nem deixar ela me fazer. Quero iluminação, amadurecimento, cultura, histórias pra contar, um melhor currículo, um punhado de dólares e eletrônicos mais em conta! Nessa ordem.
Mas não se preocupem. Nas palavras de Jesus e Schwarzenneger: Eu voltarei!

De Bonsucesso para o mundo: Natalia Weber tem 21 anos e é estudante de jornalismo da UFF (RJ). Parece uma americana, mas é brasileiríssima. É suburbana com orgulho e está prestes a adentrar nos Estados Unidos. Ela nunca viajou de avião, nunca arrumou uma mala tão grande, detesta McDonalds. Vai ser Au Pair numa família muito boa e com (graças a Deus!) uma criança. Uma criança linda, fofa e maravilhosa. Espera ter bastante tempo pra estudar e espera encontrar bons cursos pra fazer e complementar seu currículo. Espera também aprender a dirigir bem rápido pra se mover lá. Espera conhecer Nova York. Por livre e espontânea pressão, tem a possibilidade de visitar a Disney, mas se não conseguir se livrar dessa, promete enviar uma foto esganando o Mickey! Ela está com muitas saudades dos pais e amigos, por isso espera que eles venham sempre aqui.

It only happens to me...

I'm sure there some crazy things that ony happens to me... No matter where I go, I seem to atract unusual experiencies...

So the traffic light outside NOVA takes forever, and I mean FOREVAH!, to turn green, right? And when it does turns green, it only stays green for like 2 seconds, right? So it jams the whole thing when everybody gets outta class, and everybody is driving their cars (and of course talking on the cell phone - what's with this cell phone obsession anyway? The minute people walk outta class, or get into their cars, they've got the phone attached to their ears already. I hate that, it slows people down, it takes their attention... is there something that important that can't wait? Seriously, it ticks me off)... where was I? Yes... everybody's got a car, no buses around here...

Oh, wait! There was a bus, or sort of, like it, behind me. So there was I, driving towards the road, on that lane where you can either turn to the right or go ahead. The traffic light turns red, before I had even reched the white line in the road. What to do? Wait, right? I had Mark Ronson with me, things where fine...

And then this guy approaches me, knocks on my window, I turn down Ronson, I open the window:

-"Hey, why didn't you go?"

-"Whaaat?"

-"Why didn't you go?"

-"The light was red!"

-"It was yellow."

-"I'm sorry, sir, but the light was red! Did you want me to go through the red light?"

-"(add strange foreing accent I didn't identify) You had to move... you know?... I have a bus over here... you are holding me... you know? This kinda thing is what causes accidents!" (then leaves)

-"(screamming outside the window) REALLY?? Going through the red light it's MUCH WORSE!!!!!!"

I turn Ronson up, the light turns green, I stepped on the gas as hard as I could to go as fast as I could. I go straight, the bus turns right.

Was he pissed about the fact that I was waiting to just go straight, and he wantes (really bad as it seems) to turn right? If you don't know, you can make right turns when the light is red here (if there's no car coming). Except that, you CAN'T MAKE RIGHT TURNS ON RED AT THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT! So, was he planning to break the rules there? Isn't that the kinda thing that, you know... CAUSES ACCIDENTS?

Was he so in a hurry that he wanted me to go ahead even when the light was red, so that I could, you know... CAUSE AN ACCIDENT?

Seriously... that kinda thing only happens to me... Funny how people puts themselves in that kinda situation... the guy walked out of his bus to come ask me why didn't I go ahead (on red?). What's wrong with that person?? Seriously...

huahuahauhaua... seriously...
