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.

any news?
Don't think I have much to say... life had taken a turn that most of people would call routine at last. And things did happen, but my laziness hasn't changed. I could put things together I guess like...
- Finally went to NOVA and got my exam back. I already knew my final grade, but I'm saving my written exams as masterpieces, they're proof of my great effort to express myself correctly and clearly in English.
- Went shopping but bought nothing. Never saw anything more hideous than american clothes. It simply against all my fashion impulses.
- FINALLY could go ice skating with Martha. It was friday night Rock 'n' Skate. Zillion kids. Little kids, middle school, high school tops. Martha and I looked high schoolers ourselves. I had fun. I love the thing. I loved the ice. I miss the snow. I threw myself on the floor. Martha laughed and then felt on her butt. Than it was my turn no laugh...
- Cut my hair and spent a little more on a repair treatment that consisted of shampoo, I guess. Anyway, the style looked very fine, but now I washed the hair and it's weird again...
- Went to DC sunday with Marilia. She's here for 3 months to work w/ my host at her lab, she's 25 and getting her phD. But she's very fun, so young still. Great company. It was raining but not to stop us. I showed her the basic: the mall, Capitol, Pencil, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, White House, both sides, lunch at Chinatown. We bought things at Urban Outfitters to feel really americans (all on sale. I bought a cute plastic sandal that hurts my pinky toe like crazy). Then walked all the way to Georgetown. Took time but it was sooo worth it. Sun came up at last and just walking and window shopping... we got back still early. When it was dark I saw the most amazing moon.
- Thais is not going to school for a couple of days before their trip. Yes, they're leaving for Spain tomorrow and I... well, I fell terrible. Anyways, finally life of an au pair as it should be. Nathalia prepared a detail list of educational activities for us to do throughout the day (I ask myself if I'll ever be these kind of mom). Yesterday it was mostly very great til piano time, when she collapsed completely, threw a fit and recluded herself to her room while leaving me heartbroken... Today was better. I just cannot understand why she refuses playing outside. If you seen this place... a place where a child deserves to grow. I am an apartment rat, I didn't know any better. To have it and deny it sounds like such a sin. We were up on a little hill on a beautiful park nearby, the weather was great, trees, lake, ducks, squirrels, birds and she kept asking to go to the grocery store...
- Bought tickets to see Coldplay. I knooow I said I'd settle for 3 concerts, but c'mon... I was hoping no one else would come and then Coldplay announces... thing is it's on a Wednesday (WHY??), soooo... let's see how that goes.
I think I'm done... oh yeah. I'm going to Disney next Thursday. But abafa...
