Hello?
Hi
Hey we are back! Sorry MY windows all froze
Haha I'm sorry I hate when that happens What were we talking about?
I don't remember do you?
I think we were talking about changing
Oh yeah haha Change I think change is a good thing So I embrace it open armed As long as it doesn't have any permanent negative implications
That's a good way to see things
Failure is a good thing too Although I am certainly very very very glad that I haven't experienced it in my college career yet
Yes, we learn a lot from it remind me your major
Applied and computational mathematics
Oh yes that's right I failed some tests in college, but I'm glad for the learning experience
Yeah I haven't failed any yet I plan really meticulously to do well on each one And I use every resource the teachers put out And study groups and such
I tried study groups
I don't really think they actually help
It didn't go well I didn't like it
I think study groups are helpful for getting ideas on how to study Then you can take it home and study it yourself That's what I do. Study groups are never on task
That's a good idea I never thought of that one
Yeah Do you think trump might actually resign or be impeached?
I don't know he was laying low for a while if he does something crazy that is possible
I am hearing it on the news a lot not Now Yeah I think they are more focused on what he has done, not necessarily what he is doing But he has done a few crazy things
He has There is a billionaire investing money on a campaign for his impeachment.
Really? That is weird I wonder why
He hates Trump Did you hear about Alec Baldwin's comment? He said that imitating Trump on SNL is painful
No Son? Son Snl?
Saturday Night Live
Oh I have watched tv for years Haven't
Then Trump tweeted that he should leave the show because his imitations are not even good.
Oh wow
Then Alec said he wanted to stay because he wanted to be there for the resignation or impeachment
Shots fired Ohhhhhh Wow
Always
Always what
shots fired
Oh Yeah I don't ever hear about any of this stuff
I watch some news sometimes
I read news I don't usually watch it. I read like 3 articles a day And skim through like 10 others
Cool I also watch political commentators
Hmm that's interesting
But not a lot
Hmm What is political commentating?
commentators I mispelled it
Oh what is that
There are some columnists on the New York Times and such they write about news and that
Oh So it is the people who write all the news articles I read
but you have to read a bit of everything because there's no gray space or they are completely against Trump or they are completely in favor
Hmm interesting I thought there was more gray space
I haven't seen a lot of it here. when I watch TV, it seems that if you're not in favor, you're against Like if you watch CNN you're against
Interesting
if you watch Fox, you're in favor
Do you think people are like that or just the commentators?
Maybe the commentators but people around me don't like him, there's just one guy I know who likes him
Yeah. I feel like I am definitely more gray
so I have to interact with people outside the Utah/BYU realm I think I will have a better perspective
I think good things are happening and I can't say whether they were cause by trump or not He has meddled so much that it is reasonable to say a lot of things would have happened if he weren't president but maybe it would have happened at a different time in a diffe Different way So I can't say he gets credit
It's true I read somewhere an economist saying that the unemployment rates and all of that was already happening as a trend before and just kept going
Interesting Well it is awesome that unemployment is so low Now companies are the ones scrambling for works Workers
Yes
Economists are all about theoretical models I sometimes wonder how much they really understand the economy They can have polar opposite oppinions at times
Haha true
Yeah I don't see why everyone can't just stick to the textbook interpretation of things Th textbooks are way more consistent
But the world is always changing And the market is not always consistent
Yeah but it is the idea of trade and competitive advantage that I am talking about The basics They tell you a lot about an economy Without having to be perfectly exact in everything
I see Yeah that would be good if they kept it like the books
Yeah What is the best fruit in your opinion?
Guava
Really? Why guava?
I grew up eating it all the time I also love watermelon what is your favorite?
I love watermelon too but also kiwi and strawberry Grape juice used to be my favorite but now it is too sweet for me
In Brazil there's a brand of grape juice that is not very sweet. In comes in a bottle. it kind of looks like wine. I'm glad they're never on the same isle at the store.
Interesting Is it alcoholic in any way? More importantly is it even good?
It is delicious non alcoholic
Oh wow
I hope they had some of it here
Do they? Have you checked in the stores at all or no?
I've checked some of them, there's a Brazilian store in Orem they don't have it
Hmm That's too bad I would definitely want to try it that is for sure
And there's also the Rancho Market place they have an isle with food from Brazil but they don't have the juice
What is the best food from Brazil?
There's a lot of good things bbq feijoada
What is that?
It's black beans with bacon, pork meat and you eat it with rice, collard greens, farofa (which is something made of yucca flower), and some orange slices.
That sounds good I would pay money to eat it Do they have any good Brazilian restaurants around here?
I think they have it at Lucy's
I have already been to tucanos but they don't hav Ethan Have that
downtown
Are you talking about center street Provo?
It's at University Avenue Close to 200 north
So south or north of Provo? Sorry BYU
South It's really close to center street
Oh ok I wish I had the money to go Is it expensive?
Not really I think you can get feijoada there for around $10
That's not too bad I can probably go there tomorrow then I am going home tomorrow though So maybe not MAybe next week sometime
You should try, they have appetizers that cost around $3 So it's not expensive, but it's not a buffet like Tucanos
Are they big enough to eat as a main dish, or would that be considered really rude Tucanos is definitely really expensive
They have a good size Sometimes I go there and eat only appetizers
What do you mean?
so it's not rude at all
Oh so you can do that
yes
I would be Down. That is way cheaper I spent like 10 bucks on lunch today But it was a lot of food at a good deal
they have an appetizer called fried Yucca it's goo They give you rice, beans, a little bit of farofa, and I think they bring you a salad as well
So are the beans any different than the ones you get at other restaurants? Or is it just normal food combined differently
The seasoning is different I think the way we cook is different
Hmm That's true This is making me really hungry
Me too
I need to go eat but I probably don't really have the money for it
Do you have any food at home?
Yeah but not my own I just moved in and it is my roommates
I see
Maybe he will let me have some I don't know
You should find something I will go get something to eat as well It was nice talking to you
