RE: I just got a full ride scholarship!!!
I am planning on studying business and/or international studies. I would love to live and work in a Spanish/Portuguese speaking country. I am not sure if I'd rather study in Latin America or Europe. I would prefer to live in Europe where I could be open with my atheism.

don't take this personally— I hate you. now that I said that, I don't hate you. I'm just going to be in debt for a long time.

congrats, that's awesome, I'm half Portuguese, but I can't tell you anything— I know how to say a bald headed turtle. spell it, I can't.

I'm a big fan of college football in general... and you gotta love the Crimson Tide! Michigan is my #1 team, but they're not the powerhouse they once were (we'll be back!)

Why on earth would you pick up that phrase instead of something more useful like, " Give me a cold beer?"

it was actually my mother who picked it up and that's the only thing she remembers, but it does sound kinda neat. I'll try to find the spelling. okay I can't, but it sounds kind of like kater rata tataruga.
and the last two times I was with my Portuguese family I was not of the age to drink. so maybe I should have picked up "give me a cold milk." or "what?", "I don't understand." and probably "where's the tea?" just to be safe.

??You want to know how do we say bald headed turle, it's "Tartaruga careca"

Well apparently beer is incredibly cheap here when my Cousin boyfriend came with her from america, he was amazed on how cheap booze was here

"Da-me leite frio" "o que?" "nao percebo" "onde esta o cha" this is without `, ´,~ ,^ because i can't just bother anymore
