		<title>Wedding Planning, Chronicle 1: Hitting the Language Barrier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are times when I am heartily ashamed of myself for my lack of proficiency in Brazilian Portuguese. I have lived in Brazil for nearly two years, and, though I am quite able to catch buses and buy groceries, I run out of things sensible things to say to adults within the first twenty minutes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yikes, I&#8217;m a terrible blogger&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been months. I know. I didn&#8217;t update even once during my crazy summer journey nor have I been posting since my return to Brazil at the end of July. I haven&#8217;t had internet at home since arriving back&#8211;a fact that I&#8217;ve been conveniently laying blame on&#8211;but it&#8217;s October 1st. I truly have no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Day of School!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always feel just like the kids do at the end of the year&#8230; I want to stamp my feet and shout, &#8220;I want out too!&#8221; But then, when the end does finally come, it&#8217;s always bittersweet. Many, many good-byes.
&#8230;traveling to the States soon. I&#8217;m excited.  
May the Lord bless you and keep you, [...]]]></description>

		<title>To-Do Lists, Imminent Farewells, &amp; Itineraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the school year wraps up, you can find various post-it notes and scraps of paper around my desk. If I were to put them together in some organized, comprehensible way, they would make up quite a to-do list; but I can&#8217;t ever actually seem to get them all together. This time of year is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like Riding a Bicycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted in a while. Most of you will let me off for having a good reason, but we all know that a key part of being in community together is sharing our lives with one another. So let&#8217;s consider this my attempt to get back on the bicycle&#8230;
It&#8217;s been a difficult few months, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brazilian Hospitals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I visited my second Brazilian hospital today. My first trip to a Brazilian hospital was in August when they were giving away free Rubella vaccinations to everyone 12-39. In that instance, I walked a mile up the road to a public hospital, waved my passport, and got a needle stuck in my arm.
 Today I actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Holiday(?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had no school today as it was a holiday in Rio de Janeiro. It was Black Awareness Day&#8211;something similar to Martin Luther King Day in the states. So, I spent much of the day believing that it was Saturday. Holidays in the middle of the week always seem to have that effect on me&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running in circles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is starting to warm up here in Rio. I never actually know the temperature because that would require learning the Celsius Scale, but, when I went running tonight after 9pm, it was hot and sticky. I live in a large, gated condominium which makes running at night safe and easy, and I wave at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lock Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sorry that I&#8217;ve been so bad about updates lately. Things have been difficult for me here. Things big and small, coming at me from every direction. And what do I do when the going gets rough? I lock down&#8211;I go into survival mode trying to preserve a facade that speaks confidently, &#8220;She&#8217;s got it all together&#8230;&#8221; I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clutter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It &#8217;s been several weeks now since my last post, and, for those of you who I particularly told that I&#8217;d try to update more regularly, I apologize. I can only blame clutter&#8211;I&#8217;ve been caught in it and among it, created it and thrived upon it. So, here is an update on the clutter in my [...]]]></description>
