Dear Diary: Day 6

20 08 2008

At nine o’clock, we entered to the exam, I felt and heard the beat of my heart because of the nervousness I had, but I thought that I had to tranquilize myself so I could concentrate in the exam. This was a four hours exam, and it was divided into two hours and then a reassess of ten minutes and then two hours. The first two hours were really difficult, well, not too difficult but really boring, which consisted of the part of Listening and Reading. Then, when I got the ten minutes, I rested for a while and went to the bathroom. When I went back to the exam, the last two hours went really fast, the part of Speaking was not difficult, but I was really nervous, and the part of Writing was really easy, now I understand why Miss Lorena ask us for many essays, and I am really thankful about it. The only thing is that I think that the school should have a class in which we can practice more to talk, so in the moment we have to talk in English we are not nervous.

 

After the exam, my boyfriend went to pick me up, and we went to say goodbye to his uncle and aunt, and then we went to a lunch because of the birthday of another of his aunts. I really needed to go to my house, even though I spend a great time with his family, but my knee hurts a lot because spending many hours in the same position during the exam. My day ended when I came to my house and fell asleep.





Dear Diary: Day 5

20 08 2008

Today, my boyfriend was going to go for me to school, but I called him at nine o’clock to tell him that I did not go to school, so I invited him to have lunch with my mother and me. He came at two o’clock; we helped me to prepare the lunch and then he ate our delicious hamburgers. After having lunch, I wanted arrange a puzzle that we bought last week. Well, I was the one who was concentrated on it, because he was falling asleep. He turned on the television and found a good movie, but I was concentrated in the puzzle but also I watched the movie. After he took a nap and rested some time, he started helping me with the puzzle. This puzzle is a photograph of the skyscrapers of New Work City, is really beautiful and it is not too difficult because the building have different appearance. We spend a lot of hours doing the puzzle but then we got bored.

 

Hours later, after doing the puzzle, we decided to go to Pradera Concepcion just to walk and talk for a while. We went to Claro, were we got a formulary that my mother has to sign, so we can have the offer of a laptop. Then, we go back to my house because we wanted to prepare the dinner. My boyfriend loves to cook, and he found a recipe of fettuccini a la carbonara, and he wanted to prepare it. We started cooking, at first we made one recipe, but then we realized that it would not be the amount we needed, so we made another one. After cooking, we served the dinner to my father, my mother, my sister and her boyfriend and of course to my boyfriend and me. We ate a delicious dinner prepared by us and then we organized the kitchen. We concentrated a little bit more time in the puzzle and then he leaved at eleven o’clock, he had to go to his house because his mother was waiting him and she was really tired.





Dear Diary: Day 4

20 08 2008

When I arrived at school, it was seen like a very ugly day, because it was kind of rainy, I got really early and there was no one in the classroom to talk with, but as time went by, more of my friends approached. Katina was talking to me about a graduation gift that her parents were thinking to give her, but she is not sure to take it, because she does not know who is going in that trip, the trip is about flying one month around 7 countries in Europe, I told her that she should go, because opportunities like those, do not come every day.

After going to school, I had an appointment with the doctor of my knee, so my mom went to take me at the school and then we arrived at the medical clinic. We stood many minutes waiting for the doctor to take care of me and when he finally attended me, he told me that I should get another medicine, because the one that he first gave me, wasn’t so good as the one he gave me today.

My boyfriends uncle live in Geneve, Switzerland, because they work as the ambassadors of Guatemala in Switzerland, and they invited me to a dinner, I immediately accepted, my boyfriend was going to be at my house at 7 pm, but my mom and I had a problem. After visiting the doctor, we were driving to my house, when the car broke down, and we stood at the road for approximately an hour, until I called my boyfriend and he helped us with the car. My boyfriend told me about a month ago that the car was not functioning really good, because it had a weird noise, but I forgot to tell my mom, so she thought the car might need some gas, but when we filled up the car with gas, the car didn’t worked, so we waited for a special car to take care of it, I got to my house really late, the dinner was at 7 pm, and we were arriving at 9 pm.

The dinner was delicious, we ate chicken, rice, carrots, and a delicious mousse, we talked for a really long time with all the family, drank some tea. It was late when my mom called me, and told me that it was time for me to get home. I told my boyfriend about what my mom told me, and he took me back home. When I arrived, my mom was reading a book, so we stayed some time talking about all the mechanical problems the car had experienced that day.





Dear Diary: Day 3

20 08 2008

 

I wake up and my knee hurt so much, I did not understood why. After getting out from my bed, I went to my mother’s bedroom, I told her that the harm that my knee was doing to me was incredible and that it hurt a lot. After talking to her, I went back to my room and get into my bed again. Minutes later, my mother got into my bedroom and told me that going to school was my decision. I knew that she was telling that, to give me the option to decide whether I went to school or not, but she was trying to convince me. Obviously, I went to school because if I did not go, my mother was going to get mad. Another reason why I went to school is because I had many duties, like the Biology exam, Literature quiz and Mathematics test. I think that those reasons convinced me, and pulled me out of bed; because is really boring to go after the teachers so they can repeat me the exam just to get my points.

 

After the nap I took in my father’s car, I arrived to school half an hour before it started. I was really focused on studying for my Mathematics exam, studying for Biology was easier because our teacher assigned us a report that we returned it on Monday, which was a summary about a lecture that he gave. The summary helped me to understand the information, but he also gave us two classes of explanations. During some free time that I had during classes, I studied Math, just by practicing the exercises I made at home.

 

All day long I spend the time with my friend, talking about some gossip and talking about our interesting topics. The exam of Biology was really easy but the examen of Math was difficult, it consisted of five questions, which four, I made and one I leave it in blank. The four I made, were difficult but I did all the effort I could.

 

After the exam of Math, the bell rang, the day was rainy and cold; my friends and I went to one of my friend’s house to study and make some homework. We went but all we made was talk and laugh. Obviously, we had a great time; we ate pizza and tried to make a little bit of homework. This day was rare; I got sick of my stomach, even though the only think with fat was the pizza.

 

During the afternoon I made my homework and spend time with my boyfriend. He came to spend time with me, but also he likes to help me in everything I cannot do because of my knee. He stood here during all the afternoon and also had dinner with my family and me. This afternoon, I spend almost all the time in my bed because I was feeling really bad of my stomach and my knee. My boyfriend was here for me but he leaved because I was feeling really bad. After he leaved, I fell asleep earlier than other days, because of the sickness. My mother came into my room to talk me for a while and then I fell asleep again. I was tired but also I was feeling really bad. I really hope that tomorrow I feel better of my stomach; because I think that the stomachache is the worst thing that can happen to me. My knee is better because I have been resting more every day and also because now I have been using a new cream that the doctor told me to use.





Dear Diary: Day 2

20 08 2008

Today I woke up early and with a hole lot of things of my mind, today I left for trip and I was worried about al the things that I would have to do to when I got back from the trip. I am a very stressed person and I just have a constant thing on my back that reminds me of all the things that I haven’t done. It is hard for me to think clearly and not to worry when I know that I should be at school or doing something.

 

Anyways, I got to the airport and eventually I got on the plane without any event happening, I spent all my day on planes and eventually I got here to this hotel in which I got ready for bed, and I am writing here right now typing away what I did on my day.

 

However, one of the things that I did today was watch two movies during the flights, these movies were “The Spiderwick Chronicles” and “Nim’s Island” they were both good and both for children, but they were good you know, at least they entertained me.

 

Tomorrow, an interesting day awaits, because I will finally get to see a lot of people that are sick like I am; I don’t know what I will think, but I am open minded about everything right now. To be honest I am a little scared, but you know what it will be a good experience for me and for my life. I hope that everything goes great tomorrow, and also I hope that my friends back home win on the Interaulas game in school. GO QUINTO!!!!! I am crossing my fingers here for you guys….! I miss them and I didn’t want to leave, but I had to so I hope that this event is worth it.





Dear Diary: Day 1

4 08 2008

DAY 1:
Today is Monday, it was really hard for me to wake me up. I had an incredible weekend. I spend all weekend with my boyfriend and we had alot of fun. 

Yesterday I woke up thinking that it would be a beautiful day, that everything would be nice, that I would talk to my friends, but when I putted my foot in the floor, I realized that my feet wasn’t ok, I couldn’t walk at all, so I called my mom. When my mom arrived, she called the doctor, and the doctor told her that I couldn’t go to school because my foot was hurt.

Everything started the last week, when I went to the doctor, because I wasn’t feeling well when I walked, and he told me that I had a problem in my knee, and that I didn’t have to ride the vehicle, and rest any time I could.

I rested all the day whispering on what my friends had talked and joked, and that I would have to do so many homeworks. In the afternoon, my boyfriend came to visit me, with some flowers and sushi, in that time I realized how much people was interested in me, because I received many calls from my friends Cookie, Rina, Ximena and Patty. After we ate, my boyfriend helped me doing some work, because he didn’t want me to sleep too late. After doing some work, we started to play a game in facebook, that is called crazy taxi, and it’s about a taxi that has to pass some obstacles, and we were kind of fighting to see who can get more points, but he won, because I didn’t passed all the obstacles in the time needed.

After playing for a while, we started to see TV, we saw a program that he loves that is called How do they do it, and it is about different products in the world, and they explain how do they do it, it’s really interesting.

Then I continued doing home works, while he stayed playing the game on the computer, when he finished, he helped me doing a Biology homework, I wrote on the computer while he dictated everything, and when we finished, my mom called us to take dinner, so we went downstairs and ate eggs with beans, and for dessert, my mom prepared a delicious cake, we ate it, and I went upstairs while my parents and my boyfriend smoked. Today I have to go back to my mom’s house because since this year I leave one week with my mom and one week with my dad. I am so tired to come to school and wake up early. But I know that I would miss this days in my life knowing that this are going to be so hard for me to wake me up





“A Modest Proposal”

14 07 2008

The religious difference toward this proposal is that some religions have the idea and the obligation to have just a few kids not to many and there are others that they do not believe in the number if it is the money that matter of what you have. However, in many countries they believe that having many k ids would be prospering for htem afterwards because their children can work and then they could have more money, that happens in the poor countries mostly. Since there are many poor countries or countries without enough resources that they believe that having kids would help them to get bigger. There are also many countries that believe and in religous ideas that not having the money to take care of their children because they do not have the resouces to take care of many. So people even tought they have different religiouns, most of them do not realize the damage they are doing to their own kids because they wouldn’t give what they need to live well. However, religoins have interefered with some poeple. if they are poor but their religouns tell them to have as many children as they can, that would affect the way they live.

 

The attitudes toward marrige could be affected in many ways. As the husband has to work and the wife has to stay at home taking care of their children, that is an old fashoned irony. Now in these days, this things had been vanished from life. As you know, women also started working becasue they need more money in the family, everythign has gone through the  way the world has change. Couples tend to fight alot when things of this happens. Marriage is a duet living together because they love so much each other that they diceide to form a family together. After marriage, it is essential to see if the man you are choosing is the one that you believe that would be perfect to have a family with him, or not to. When you have a boyfriend and you realize that he would be a great husband, you need to see very well that you would be passing through a lot of obstacles that can ruin your marriage, after all both togehter need to work as a team and as a couple, to pass throughout the problems together and marriage would be incredible. As children grow they would realize that marriage is an “increidible word if you know how to pronounciate.”





Satire–assignment 4

9 07 2008

I started the car… it seems again that it would be a difficult race…I turn my head to the side, I see miss gaby on the other car. On the other side, I see miss rosito with a big helmet. I hear this sound.. many cars started to acelerate! I turn on mine!…I hear a voice “this is the big NASCAR final” “one, two, three and goooooo”. I started to acelerate, but miss Gaby pass me. I try so hard to acelerate more… but then everything goes white.. I hear in my very deep dream a weird sound, as if many glasses where broken, then I open my eyes, I saw this little kid, but he was little little kid. He was so little as the size of my thomb. I cant hear what he was saying. He was breaking my glass of whater I have on my night table with a little bat, but he couldnt break it anyways. I wanted so bad to keep dreaming that I was going to win miss Gaby this NASCAR race.

Then he started me to talk but it was so hard to hear him. I followed him to my garden and he show me his little little house, it was so cute. I decided to name him, as if he was my pet, I named him Pitu. He was so nice with me and he was always there for me. He started to live with me, and then he seem for me more than a friend. I was so happy with him. It doesnt matter the size we had. After a long time spending together, we got married and it was an incredible wedding. I have so much fun. I was the happiest women ever. I just never thought that the way that my dream end would be the beginning for another one. I hoped that dream would last forever. But nothing is forever. Things started to change, eventhough I didnt wanted to, but he was not the same anymore. I missed him very much, he left me, but I hope he can stay in touch and I want to be her friend some time again. He was an incredible person to awake someone, he just make me dream all the time!





satire cartoon!

9 07 2008

This satirical cartoon is abour Arnold Swacheneger, and shows the body he used to have. It is funny because he isnt any more like that, and even if he is a senator he would be more critizied. the point of this satirical cartoon is to show how he was, because he was a big actor and also a model when he was young.
