Blog Entry #6 - Spring Break

When I heard "Spring Break" I always used to associate it with beach, travel, sun... in other words, Florida! Although spending the Spring Break in Florida would surely be amazing, it was not a possible reality for me. So, instead of getting tanned under the Sun, I spent my entire break getting whiter at the campus and in little trips to Walmart. But it did not mean I can not have really good moments. 

The most worthwhile moment during the Break was when I met my friends at Lucas' house. We spent almost all night there ranging from playing videogame, beer pong, to dancing a lot. Lucas welcomed us with pão-de-queijo (cheese bread, a Brazilian traditional food, picture on the left side), just when I first bit it I could realize how much I missed it. The girls also made caipirinha (a traditional Brazilian lemon drink), I brought a strawberry mix, and there were also vodka, tequila, fireball, whisky and plenty of beer. I started playing videogame with Eric, Lucas and Vinicius while the others were building the beer pong table. My partner of beer pong was Vinicius and we played against Eric and Paulinho, it was a really strained game, we started winning but they turned the game in the end and we lost it. We also could play the songs that we missed so much and we grew up listening to them and we sang them at the top of our lungs. I really missed this moments with my friends and it was really nostalgic.

Blog Entry #3 - The best and the worst place on SUNY Oswego (for me)

I really enjoy SUNY Oswego. The best place on campus for me is the combination of my old room and the Lake Ontario. I loved the view it had. It was at Waterbury Basement with a lakeside view. I could just walk a few steps and I was in the lake. The Lake Ontario is huge, it seems like it never ends on the horizon. By this way, it is amazing watch the sunset there, because the sunset is over the lake, on the horizon. During the summer, almost everyday I went to the lake to watch the sunset, and everyday was a different sunset. Sometimes the sky was just blue, other times it was orange, or even pink. 

An amazing degrade of colors.

In contrasct to this beautiful summer images, the places I hate the most, here, in SUNY Oswego, are the corridor between the townhouses on The Village and The Village bus stop. The bus stop is an open bus stop. It do not have any walls or protection against wind and snow. I hate it so much that I always wait for the bus inside my house and when I see it I go outside. In addition, the bus stop is located in a corridor between the townhouses, where it creates strong wind chills. These winds often raises the snow on the ground and make swirls with it. I totally avoid these two places during my days.

A little bit of snow, but a lot of wind and cold.
