       Halloween.. Can you imagine how I was waiting for this?
In Brazil, we don't celebrate Halloween. Some people go to the parties with costume, but it isn't usual. But, a lot of the movies that I have seen in my life show how important it is here in America, with pumpkins and costumes, trick or treat and things like that.
      My first Halloween here was very nice, but as nothing can be perfect, it was raining. My friends and I started to prepare the costumes early, a lot of them painted their faces, they became very scary. I didn't wear scary costume, because I was a magician, and I became proud because I maked the hat by myself, it wasn't so good, but I liked.

   So, my friends and I went to the ESL party and it was amazing. All of the international students wearing different costumes, some of them were scary, others were cute, but the important is that we could see the effort of them to enjoy the celebration.

    When it finished, we went to the dorm and await to the time to go to the parade at the main street. But it was raining so much and we decided don't go. We stayed awake for a long time just talking and looking to the costumes of those who passed by us. It was an awesome day!
