Rudyard Kipling

Hello people here I am. A week later. Well new month coming... and that one sounds cool in 20 days I'll be in Astúrias with my partners and we will have a great time. At least, I hope so.

Well today I was prepearing my power point for the oral presentation at Catalan's lesson. It's about Rudyard Kipling. Do you know who Rudyard Kipling was? Well if you do not know he is the one who wrote The Jungle Book which I'm sure that most of you have seen the film by Walt Disney. Right?

So today I read a poem of him that In my opinion is nice. May be you'll know because is kind of famous but may be not. Anyway, here it is.

IF

"If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

Rudyard Kipling.

Have fun people! See you on the next post.

Lyrics training

Hello people. Here I am again. It's been kind of an stressful days but it's okay.

Well, I guess you all know who Michael Jackson was so here I leave you a link where you can listen to one of my favourites songs of Michael Jackson and try to write the lyrics as fast as possible. That's just one of the songs you can do.

On that web you can practise english with a lot of different songs.

Have fun people! See you on the next post.

Come back!

It's been a long time since the last time I post something here.

Well, It's nice to come back. I had an amazing summer I went to Dublin and I had a lot of fun and a lot of new friends. I spent thwe rest of my summer on my grandmother's home. However when school started everything wents normal again.

A week ago the new dutch students of this year came. It was so sad for me to see them and remeber everything about the excahnge and all I felt while we were doing the exchange. I will love to be doing the exchange again, right now!

I remember when they arrive and I was absolutely nervous thinking on how much fun we will have and how exciting will be.

It was the best experience I ever had. I remember every little thing like if it was yesterday.

Well people from now on I will post here more often.

Bye people! see you on the next post.

just finished the 3rd term

Hello everybody :) This week has been the last 3rd term week. Today I recived the marks. It wasn't so bad as always maths was the worse one but I got a 6 so for me that's really good. I'm happy for this. For the other way around we had the last Maths through English exam. It has been more that horrible it was too long and I couldn't finished even the half past of it. Will see how the mark is.... I hope it wont count as much as in a normal term....

Well, now there's just a week left so let's week is an increasing mark week and then will have "credit de sintesi" and that will be all. Then summer holidays will come and with that Dublin will come too. I'm really looking forward to it I think I will practice a lot my English on a funny way, I will have a lot of fun, I will meet new people spanish people and from other countries too. So let's resist this two last weeks just for that because I really want to have summer holidays.

This afternoon I have to meet my maths team because we have to prepear our presentation for next week. Next week we'll have to do a history presentation too.

I hope you haver a nice weekend :) see you on the next post people

Bye :)

Chearries time!

Tomorrow it starts the last 3rd term week. Then we'll have another normal school week and "credit de sintesi" So I'm really looking forward to thew end of this school year. Because I'm really tired. But for the other way around I don't want to have my school friends away, that's the part I hate the most of summer. Of course you can meet them, but It has to coincide that they are here on the same dates you are. But well, today I don't know why.... Maybe because tomorrow I have the first meeting I'm just thinking on Dublin! I'm really looking forward to go, meet new people, have fun and of course improve my english.

But while this day is arriving I have to continue studding for English exam, biology exam, spanish exam and of course maths exam. Which is the worsest one.

This weekend I've been studding for biology and english but I've been reading a Catalan book I have almost finished and I took off cherries from the three. Now we have eight boxes full of cherries at home!! amazing, right? I think we have never had so much as this year! I love Cherries!

Well, bloggers.

See you soon :)

Last shcool weeks

Hello people, I'm back after a week. Here I am. Well this week it's begining to be stresful, it's almost the end of the school year and we have a lot of work to do. Last thursday I had a maths exam, as always I didn't know almost anything so I met Irene and Aleix at the library and we were there studing for almost three hours. As almost noone of us had idea of the lesson we decide that if our mark was higher than three our "group study" would be considered as an excelent. So I took a six and Irene was around me. That means it was more than excelent! Im so pleased for it!

This weekend is beeing full of homework because of next week homework, worksheets and exams. But It's ok.

Now I live just thinking on vacations this hard weeks and holidays and that means Ireland and I'm really looking forward for it!

Last weekend watching friends videos Marina and me. We found a really funny video of Joey that I really want you to see it. You'll laugh a lot as Marina and me did.

After the exchange until today

Hello, I'm back. After the exchange I was on easter holidays one week. I was working as a babysiter the first three days of this holidays and the rest of them I was at my countryside home with all the family. There I spent so much time jocking with the family playing a cards game really known at my home called "la ronda" Which I didn't played since my grandfather died.

The next week I had to came back to school but as monday was on holidays too. I only went on tuesday and thursday, to do classes. On wednesday we had free day because there was not water at the school and on friday we celebrated San George day. On the same friday I spent my afternoon with Marina, Guillermo, the both Oriols, Oscar, Joana and Ariadna. Because as on Sunday was Marina's birthday we celebrated. We kind of sang a song for her called "Count on me-Bruno Mars"

This week it has been, more or less, normal. We didn't do a lot of classes because the teachers were missing but it was normal. Yesterday I celebrated Paula and Ivette's birthday.

Now we are almost at the end of the course and this weeks will be full of exams or works so I think we wont have a lot of time to have fun, unfourtunatly.

Anyway now I only live thinking on summer :)

Have a nice week!
