Never Ending Days

Days now, this week especially, seem to never end. I am exhausted and in desperate need for sleep. Throughout this whole week I was waking up tired, spending days like a zombie at school, and coming back home only to do homework, walk Bouba, read to my little sister, eat and than sleep. I don’t think I’ll survive like that next week. Every morning I wake up, look at the time, and say, “oh, I can sleep longer…” and than I fall asleep, wake up and say the same again until I get up too late and arrive late at school with a “cara de merda”.

Today though, was a fun day, at least during English class. We were supposed to do a play sumarizing a part of Chapter 2 in The Iliad. I was in a group with Pam, Alvy and Thais. We had a mega production with special effects. (Little baby lamp that when you turn on drawings of planets appear on the wall and turn. That was to symobolize the night. And we had a video and a slide show…)  So I was Agamemnon and Pam was Zeus. She was supposed to send me a dream about the war with the Greeks. She stood up behind me while I lied down on a bunch of chairs in my gigantic white sheet and faked I was sleeping. She started acting as if she was putting a spell on me and sending me a dream. The problem was that she did some voodoo instead, and I just lifted my sword and turned it that way and that as if I was dreaming of war. Pam got so into it that the whole class burst out laughing, including her and me. It was just the funiest thing ever…
