One last update.

What an experience I had in Brazil.  I feel very blessed to have been given such a wonderful opportunity to study in a different country, learn about the culture, and learn about myself.  I'll never forget the experiences I had and the lessons that life in Brazil had taught me.

The situation with the strike is yet to be resolved and has recently gotten worse. This picture is of a protest outside of USP on one of the main roads of Butantâ.  They blocked off three lanes of traffic.
