Good morning y'all, today is a new day.
The sun is just rising. I don't think today is going to be a true representation of my daily life
right? Because if I made a video doing the things I actually do every day,
like my actual routine, the video would turn out boring as hell, dude.
So today we're gonna do all the most interesting things I do in an entire week
in just one day. Also, today is the first day of semester classes, so it's gonna be a day full of adventure!
So first, I need to shower, which I'm gonna do alone because there are too many creeps on the Internet.
[singing Sei La, a Vida Tem Sempre Razao]
Ok so in the morning, my routine is.. I put on my moisturizer, I clean my piercings,
I have 2 nose piercings and I've only had them for like 2 months.
And after, I put on makeup, so:
Very nice. We're late. Next step, of course, is the look.
I need shoes. My room is a mess so don't pay attention to that, but this is the look. Turtleneck. Green. Complete with shoes.
But before breakfast I gotta get my bag ready.
Ready to go.
This is the building where I live, but I'm not gonna say the name. Hello! I'm feeling real weird just walking around with a camera, alone.
People are already staring at me. I'm just not really like that, you know?? The vlogger type, hein?
Today I only have two classes. Oh shit, my keys.
Everything's falling. It's so hard to hold all of this.
I only have 2 classes today, the first one is documentary production.
Then the second one is a photojournalism class. The good news is that I already know one of the professors!
This is a typical breakfast for me-- potatoes, eggs, and fruit, but I haven't gotten it yet.
Beautiful day in the city. My city is called Saint Augustine, it's a small city. Fun fact: it's the oldest city in the country.
I tried to call my bank but they didn't respond. Maybe they're closed??
I called the bank because I need to process my name change. I had an official last name change,
because in the past I had my dad's last name, but now I just have my mom's.
So I was trying to call to see what documents I need, but they didn't respond so i think they're closed.
This is the downtown plaza, it's called the Plaza de la Constitucion. There's a lot of historical monuments here.
Not a lot of people know that St. Augustine had a strong role in the Civil Rights movement in the 60s.
So much noise. There's lights all over the city for the whole month of January,
and at night when they're turned on, it's real beautiful. Another church, and this is the tallest building
in the whole city. We even have a law that says that no other building can be taller than it.
I don't know why we have the law, but I imagine it's to preserve history
of the place. In the past it was a bank, but... [music from a passing car]
Rn I'm going to the bank. I need to send a letter to a friend, so I hope it's not closed too.
A statue of the founder of my college, and this is the entrance. Flagler College, woOOoOo
I used to live in this building. In the past it was a hotel for rich people, but now it's dorms for the girls.
And I used to live right here. Pretty!
How chaotic.
Got itttt! I buy all my books from this site, Thriftbooks.
Look at thaaaat, fancy, no?
I'm making sure no one wrote in the--- [GASP]
I hate when people do that!!!
I've been wanting a new book. I already have Com Licenca: Brazilian Portuguese for Spanish Speakers, but it's
always comparing between Spanish and Portuguese, and I'm trying to separate them. So I got this one that's just between English and PT.
I hope it's good, because I didn't read any reviews or anything.
And now I'm preparing a proposal for a conference on Latin American topics
in April. It's virtual, so I'm not gonna travel for this conference.
So last semester I did research about the Cuban Revolution, Black women and how they used
practices and religions of African origin to survive the socioeconomic and political effects of the revolution.
And all that. I wrote it in Spanish, so I'm gonna submit this to be a part of the conference in April.

So I hope it gets accepted, but I don't know. I worked really hard on this, like 7 weeks.
So I just gotta fill out this form, and then I'm gonna study a little bit of Nahuatl.
I just learned numbers in Nahuatl. It's interesting because they don't just use Latin letters to represent them, but also drawings.
So if you wanna say 20, it's cempoalli. But there's also a representation of a flag here with 4 parts, and each is worth 5.
So 5, 10, 15, 20.
If you have 3 parts of the flag, it's caxtolli.
I need a lot of practice with the pronunciation. For example, if you wanna say 10, it's mahtlahtli.
If you wanna say 11, mahtlahtlince.
It's complicated because there's a lot of sounds that don't exist in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, or any of the other languages I speak.
My head is breakiiiiiing, but in a good way, in a good way.
I think I'm gonna go home.
Look, my drawing.
I'm hoooome, I'm hooooome!
Look at that, the sunset. How pretty, how pretty. Well, I don't have--- oh, why do I still have my mask on?
I don't have anything to do, I think I'm gonna lay down & watch The Circle.
I don't know. I'm so tiiiiired. [TV:] The person we decided to eliminate is...
THAT'S MY HUSBAND!! The other guys on the show, I don't know why...
JP? He's boring as hell. What was the name of the other? Akel. I don't like him either.
He's too basic. But the people on the show keep saying like "Gaybol doesn't have any personality", y'all don't be giving people a chance! Y'all just don't give chances.
Well y'all it's almost 10. So before sleeping, I'm gonna do a little meditation.
I don't do that every day. I think I try to do it 2x a week?
I'm really busy. But the channel is called Ser Felicidade, it's really good.
it has like more than a million subscribers, so I think it's pretty famous. I discovered it because one of my students
recommended it because he worked on the production team. Everything's really professional.
I recommend it a lot. She has like a really... calming voice. I don't know how to describe it, but I like it a lot. Let's meditate!
Today was a busy day, and I hope the rest of the semester isn't like that, because I feel so tired.
So thanks for watching me-- watching? I meant accompanying me.
On this crazy journey of the first day of classes. It's always such a chaotic day.
Well, I'll see y'all soon, and goodnight.
