New two-month-update

So after two more months I'm writing again. Don't really know why it took my so long, but probably has something to do with school, being a bit stressed and the switching of my family. As the last things indicate, a lot of things have happened. And in addition to this kind of huge change I have also during these two month been in a car accident when my schoolbus crashed (the Volkmann-bus from Pomerode driving into the car in front and then the trailer behind the bus crashing into the Volkmann), a "shooting-episode"(two boys getting into aa fight and one of them being sent of two the hospital with a bullett that had to be removed) at a party near my old house that I was at and a lot of small things happening.
My new life in my new family is going great to. The family is really taking good care of me and I'm enjoying being with them. My new mother is named Marly and works as an reseptionist at one of the hospitals here in Blumenau. Like she said herself on my first day: she talks loud and fast, but I think listening to her and having to keep up with her talking is going to improve my portuguese. My new father is a professor who is now studying to, and reminds me a lot of my own dad sometimes. He always have some projects going on to improve stuff around the house, and also he does everything for his two daughters. And then there are my two new sisters. Luana is 19 years old, an therefore my nw bigsister. She works a lot and also studies, so I don't see her as much as i would like, but when we hang out together I always have a good time. Lauren is 11 years old, and she is probably one of the sweetest 11-years-old I have ever met. She also appears more than 11-years-old and she is a great person just talking and hanging out with. And now I also have a cat! And I'm kind of surprised that I'm actually liking it since I never used to like cats.. His name is Boris, and he is an outdoorcat, exept for the fact that I never seen him outside of the house.
Now I'm finally having my summerholidays after passing the year without needing to have any examens! Just need to finish my danceperformance on Saturday and my work and capoeira, and then I will suddenly have "nothing" to do for the next two months.
Christmas is also coming up, but I'm not really feeling it. It's hard walking around in with more than 30 degrees under palmtrees and at the same time feeling christmas coming. I'm more used to snow and all the traditions we have at home in Norway, so this Christmas is going to be tough. My mom sent me a Christmas-calender for me and my two new sisters to open, and we're all enjoying that. Christmas-decorations here are also a bit... different, I guess. They have a lot of lights that are blinking and stuff. And I really mean A LOT. Going to be a different experience from the normal Christmas I'm used, but will be interesting seeing how they celebrate Christmas in another country. Just thinking all the time about that I will be in Norway next Christmas and all the Christmases after this, just to not miss it too much.
