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 all started with a chair

Finally got to see JUNO, a movie I knew I was gonna like since the day I saw the preview when Daiana and I went to Reston watch "Into the Wild". That was september, I guess...

I was mad thinking that Juno would only go to selected theaters, but actually is playing very very nearby... So saturday, Daiana and I went there, I was very excited, I just knew it would be good, and the critics are getting wowed about it.

It is actually better... funny, sweet, crazy, and what kinda girl Juno is, I mean, she's 16 and likes the Stooges, and who could possibly wisecrack like that all the time?... but, well... she's savvy, she' witty, she's detached, she's pregnant and she's got Paulie Bleeker.

Paulie Bleeker is totally boss...

Paulie Bleeker is the cheese to my macaroni...

Paulie Bleeker is the coolest person in the world and he doesn't have to try! (He says he tries very hard, actually...)

Paulie Bleeker is great... in chair!

At the tic-tac scene, I was already crying. In the end, I was sobbing, really sobbing... I was crying and laughing, really nervous, I just wanted to let it out, but not with all that people around me... and coming outta the theater with red eyes and nose and cheeks, people would stare at me as if I was suppose to have no emotions at all. I mean, you guys never saw anybody crying at the movies, jeez...

I just can't not show my emotion, I can't be cold like those people. It seems like things don't sink in on them, they're just shallow and don't relate to things. I can't be like that. Quoting Daiana, "I have life inside of me"!

Daiana, by the way, also got moved by the movie and started to ask me what are we going to do about our lives... and at that fragile state I could only... cry more?

Ok, see it for yourself a little bit:


(btw: Into the Wild, best movie of 2007... Juno comes to be best of 2008, let's see if something comes up, we've only just begun).

What can I say about Juno? I guess she speaks for herself!! But that movie was great!!!!! I didn't cry as much as Naty, but it got deep inside me too. It's just so sweet and cute that one can't not be moved by all that. But these people here, c'mon!!!! What's wrong with you guys??!! They have no emotions at all, each day I'm more convinced of that. Oh, and today at Mimi's Cafe the manager came to our table to ask if everything was ok, just because we were laughing out loud!!!! That was the craziest thing ever!!! But well, aparently you're not supposed to show your emotions over here. But Juno was awesome!!!! We got a couple more movies to see though. :)
