Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I have been in England for 19 days now, and I’m having a whale of a time. Not a good time as in partying and going out every night, but a whale of a time in respect to being able to do all the things I had come to England to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I will be officially on holiday in a week and a half until the new year. I was going to go to Sheffield this coming weekend to visit my brother and his family, but after talking to my mother, I think it would be better to go for the new year. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy, and rainy. I have been in England for a little over two weeks now, and I am visiting places that are stuck in my memories from childhood and adolescence. Yesterday, I went to Mary Stevens Park and the house I shared when I was beginning my professional life and living alone. Today, I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy and slightly rainy. It has been two weeks since I arrived in England, and the time has rushed by. Only after two weeks have, I got to talk to my brother. When I arrived on November 25th, my brother’s wife Debbie called me with the first words of incrimination: “Well, you kept this […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. I went to bed worrying about money and woke up without any problems. The morning was very foggy and extremely cold; I could feel it in my bones. I had a short walk to the canal to feed the ducks and swans. When I rattle my plastic container with their food, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. This is the beginning of my second working week in England, and it is raining all the time.

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. My second Sunday in England is wet. Last Sunday was beautifully sunny but cold; today, it has rained all day. The weather forecast for today and the next two weeks is rain, rain, and more rain. The lovely sunny but cold days are over, and I am now facing the reality […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve spent almost a week in England, including four working days of giving classes here despite the below-zero temperatures outside. Another night of sleeping badly. I think I got up at least 20 times to go to the toilet. For some reason, I couldn’t get off to sleep. I only […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I still struggle to get up as early as I would like. Last night, I didn’t sleep well. I don’t think it was due to the cold since the bed and bedroom are warm before I go to bed. Instead, I believe it stems from anxiety. I’m feeling quite anxious […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is my second day working remotely in England. It is good; there have been no hiccups until now. In the morning, I got up relatively early at about 7:00 a.m. It is not a time to Rio de Janeiro standards at 4:30 or five, but I may get there shortly. As […]
