The last day of 2011. Can't believe that time goes so fast. But time goes fast when you're having fun!
My 2011 has been wonderful! It started in January (as for all others) ... At the end of December 2010, I choose to quite my job and went back to Brazil with my fiancel. He had been in Sweden for 6 months, but his tourist visa had ended. He had to go back to Brazil to apply for a visa to work and study in Sweden, it was going take about 9 months. 9 months! We thought it was 9 months too much to be apart from each other. Since I both worked full time and studied full time we decided to go to Brazil and I would study from there. Jair got his visa in March. It did not even take 4 months!
In Brazil, I studied five distance courses on the same time which corresponds to 60 hours per week! (Do I need to mention that I'm pretty tired of school at the moment!)
My brother was also there with us in Brazil. We all stayed in Jair's house together with his family in the favela (shantytown). Jair's mother washed everything by hand, so my family and Jair's brother in Portugal saved money and bought a washing machine for her! Now, she never needs to wash by hand again! We also gave Jair's mother an electical iron for her birthday. Now she won't need to heat up an iron over the fire anymore!
In March, I was in an accident. Or a robbery rather. Two of my teeth were almost knocked out and I had to get some stiches around my mouth and on the back of my head. The mouth heals very quickly, so after three weeks, I was visually recovered. Of course this was no fun, but I recovered pretty quickly.
We stayed in Brazil until June. In June, we were back in Sweden. Our plane landed in the middle of the night. The next day I went to a job interview and got the job! I started working right away. Then we moved to Gothenburg in September. Jair started Swedish for Immigrants. I got a new job. Jair got a job as a dishwasher. Then he got to a job as a cleaner.
Our life in Sweden has really got a flying start! After only six months here, Jair are starting to feel at home! 2012 will be a good year!
