February was... relatively good.

02/28/2026

Another month has passed. Of course, February flies by.

Well... What to say about February? It was... I don't have the right word to describe how upset I was this last week of the month.

In a previous post on my blog, I was excited to participate in the Ready for the World Program! A program from the São Paulo State Government, here in Brazil, that offers the opportunity to do an exchange program in Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom! And I, obviously, would do it in Canada... But my name didn't appear on my school's list. Because, apparently, the selection is based on ranking, depending on the score of a test we took in 2025.

I cried a lot, a lot! I cried for three days straight... but for now I'm better, but I'm still upset, very upset...

I discovered many things about other people at my school. My high school is, for now, going well. My teachers (with the exception of a few) manage to be horrible and unbearable. And I try to stay calm, because if it depends on them, I won't learn. So, I'm studying at home alone.

I think this feeling of sadness is permanent. I'm surrounded by people, they're there for me. But then, suddenly, I feel bad... but not like before.

There are also many fights in my family. I can't take it anymore!! My uncle is unbearable, one of the reasons why my grandmother has high blood pressure!

I hope things calm down in March...
