I prepared to take full advantage of our day off today. In the morning, before even completing my other class homework, I started my Portuguese homework. I was working for about 1.5 hours on Portuguese before moving on to school work. I started and finished the composition on sports my teacher assigned. All in Portuguese, I had to write a half-page composition on the sports I like to play, watch, and sports I wish I had been able to play. A couple of times I had to refer to the conjugations I made yesterday to make sure my grammar was correct and sometimes would check Google Translate for help with a word or two. But all in all, once I got in the flow of writing, words and sentences would come out of nowhere - I could not explain how I knew how to say something, but I guess some of it is just coming back from the time that I could. I then read a couple articles in the Brazilian magazine Veja and tried to make as much sense of it as I could. Finally, I listened to the song "Pra Rua Me Levar" by Ana Carolina and Seu Jorge a couple of times. I read along with the lyrics, which helped with the understand and reminded me how to spell certain words I had forgotten.
The plan originally was to meet Ana today at 4pm but she had something come up and we are trying to reschedule. So this reflection would have been more interesting and I would have gotten in more hours today but they will be made up next time we meet. Tomorrow will be a good day as I have two class periods to work.
