Brazil 1 Croatia 0
Wow, a post in real time!
Yesterday we had our steering team meeting. We talked about the purpose and function of a steering team as well as started outlining our goals and values. I'm going to be working with Super on the Balanced Score Card and adapting it to the reality of @USP. Should be challenging and interesting work.
Afterwards Diogo drove me to the airport to pick up Rita. The traffic was TERRIBLE so we were really late (sorry Rita!). And why was the traffic bad? Because everyone was one their way to watch the Brazil Croatia World Cup Game!! After we found Rita, the three of us headed to GV where we watched the second half. Honestly, Brazil wasn't playing very well. They weren't running and Croatia had much better scoring chances. But they still managed to pull off a win, and you could tell. For several HOURS after the game you could hear horns and whistles and loud music and general craziness. Soooo many people were dressed in green and yellow! It was cool to walk along Paulista and see everyone.
Rita and I met up with Vladimir, who is a GV trainee from Columbia and was the former MCP. It was nice to talk to him. On the way home we stopped by Tiête and bought our bus tickets for tonight. I wasn't actually that hard, though trying to communicate with the lady in portuguese was challenging. But we have our tickets and we're ready to go.
Right now I'm at the office and Rita is napping on the couch :P Not used to getting up at 6:30 am, haha. I have some meetings around midday and then we are going to head downtown for some sightseeing and shopping. Then home to pack and off we go! Should be a great weekend.

Testimony from Rita's sister: Very typical of her to be napping anywhere, anytime! =P
Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun! And I hope Brazil wins too, so you guys can truly experience what it will be like to be cheering on the streets when Brazil win again!
