anyways..
Earlier this summer I found my old Agenda/Journal from 1996- which is the year I moved back from Brazil to the United States. Brazilian Journals (called agendas) are different than American ones- in Brazil you buy a day planner and make that your journal- you decorate it with pictures, magazine pics or any souvenirs from that day and you attach things with paper clips so the book gets fat..
This was a really interesting journal to read through because that was such a hard year for me- moving back to the home land..
so anyway, I wanted to see what I wrote on today's date and here is the entry:
(I was visiting my friend Kristen in Boston..and I will translate the portuguese words in parenthesis..)
"we had muitos (a lot) of mix ups. Primeiro (first), we kept missing Alli. Ela foi para (she went to) Harvard Square but we woke up late, so we got there and she had left, so we left but then she had gone back, so we went back but she left, but we called her so she came back. Then we went to this party but it's tomorrow. Kris and I streaked our hair purple and that's why I'm writing in it (purple marker). I got a zero shirt for Alina. coool. Like, Ashleigh"
haha..wow!
some observations:
1. I talk exactly the same as I did when I was 14.
2. Life before cell phones was hard.
3. I thought it would be funny to sign like, ashleigh instead of love, ashleigh.
4. I streaked my hair purple! haha so funny. i wonder what i would have been like if i went to public school in boston intead of private school in annapolis... hmmmm.
5. I miss speaking half english/portuguese.
I think I will periodically post things from that agenda or journal- i found my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ones which have been hilarious to read through!
like, ash.
