ORAL PRESENTATION - TDR

Link to Oral Presentation video

It wasn't very difficult to translate the script but when I make a presentation in catalan or spanish I follow it verbatim, and I explain more or minus things seeing the situation, or maybe I explain an anecdote... and I never memorize the original script because I always say it different. What I'm saying is that for me express things in english is very difficult and I have to memorize the scripts. But when I prepared it for the oficial presentation I memorized little things that weren't in the script and when I'm doing it in english, memorized, conflicted in my mind.

Also, I always get nervous and forget things.

Why UAB?

Next year I want to study in Universitat autonoma de Barcelona (UAB). I don't want to live in Barcelona because there are a lot of people, noise... I like the feeling that the campus did in me the first time, it's paceful and for students.

I like to live in Bellaterra but I prefer to have a room for my self and if i can't enter in a individual room probably I will search a flat in Cerdanyola or towns near UAB. For me is important to have a personal space and, apart, i do a lot of work at night, and if my roommate don't share this way of work can be problematic.

I'm interested in the student flat live because I think that's important for the development of all of us. It's a style of life where you have to be independent, self-sufficient, take responsabilities... It's an important stage for create ourselfs final personality and habits.

I don't know with who I'm going to live, but I think that if we connect, that can be a important stage for me, and I will learn a lot of things.

NEW: Spanish town to grow cannabis to pay debt

I saw that new in "La vanguardia" one week ago and i couldn't understand what I was reading. But, yes, thats true, a town in tarragona started a plan for solve the debt... make a plantation of cannabis.

That's for an association of cannabis users, for own consumition. Well... the first thing I try to imagine was the security of that grow zone... I could see mountains of people pretending to catch a little part for them. And there is the funny one who burn the plantation, and, c'mon, all Tarragona happy for one afternoon!

If this is a question of own consumition, they can grow it in their home, because the law allow it, with little restricions. If you only need for you don't need a plantation. Grow them in your house, in a fresh air, with good conditions, controlling the atmosphere... that probably will be better!.

I don't know why this association need a camp zone, but I think that isn't for clean reasons because for the personal consume you can grow them in home.

Now the lawyers are discussing it. I'm interesting in how can end.




New from BBC

NEW: LOW INTEREST IN TE YOUNG COMISSION

The town hall organized a reunion with the young entities of Castello. Many members of AEiG Xots (with me and Maria), the vocal of Empuriabrava (Lydia), Senyors del Foc, etc. The objective was to search what, in the young view, the town need or what has to renew or delete.

From the town hall were two councils (youth and education) and the tecnicals of sports and youth.

The new says that there weren't a lot of participation and that's a topic that we spoke about. In castello the teens don't participate in things, interesting ones like excursions can't be make because of it. Why? We don't know. Teens work in groups but for the youth tecnical is very difficult motivate them to do activities. Now, the tenns are conformists, and only want comfortable activities... like see the tV. In what kind of society are we walking to?

The last example... in the Cau, for children of 12/14 years we organize activities that in other sites thay can't find... and we only have 6 boys of this age. Makes me think... are we consenting too our teens? In a few years we will see the results...



New from Emporda Tv

SEX IN THE SAME ROOM

I saw this piece of news and I freaked out. The notice is that a girl complained the campus because they don't help her with her problem: her roommate has too much sex. But, too much sex, near her! Meters, in the same room! The girl suffered depressions and attention deficit disorder... with suicide attempts!

Probably I don't complain the campus.... I call a mental institution for that roommate! She hasn't shame? I can't imagine it. Her and her boyfriends, apart from disturbing attempted in the health of another person.

The present society need more and more personal attention, but that isn't it... that's worse, that only can be called histrionical personality disorder.

HEADS EXCURSION - ST. GENIS

In our cau, we think that make excursions with all the heads is important for the group. Reciently we went to "Sant Genis" a very little hermitage in the mountains near llança.

We arrived at Llança at the morning and ate something. The head who prepared the excursion explained what we were going to do. The plan was follow the easy way that's marked. But.... some days before had rained a lot... We couldn't find the road at the first time, but asking and crossing one little river and a factory we found it. The day started with an adventure!

We can arrive at the hermitage following the PR signs (yellow ones). Most of the way was relatively flat, but the last 100m were a torture!! We arrived at the hermitage sweating and panting. After a little relax, we started the dynamics. We put in pairs and took a paper where was written an history that is about a problem that a head can have in a cau (problems with the children, other heads, parents...). We had to find what's the problem and thought about how we, or the person, could solve it. We put all in common and was very interesting and useful.

We had lunch with a tupper-buffet and played some games after the descent.

A useful and good day!

Now.. a photo of me thinking "Can the water be more cold?"

CARNIVAL

This year me and one friend decided to make our personal costume. We decided two days before carnival, and started very fast. We wanted a costume about Link, the main character of the game Legend of Zelda. We went to Figueres and bougth the green cloths and the sword.

All friday afternoon we were doing it, making the patrons and sewing the dress. Luckily we had the help of my mother that sew a lot with the machine while we were basting the patrons. We went to the carnival party of Roses with the disguise freshly made. I think that was simple but eficient I like the result.

In Roses, at 4.00 am, one boy opened an extinguisher into the enclousure. First of all I saw a "volcano" but when I was thinking "oh, lovely" I saw people running with faces of pain and the group of people who are there dragged me outside. When I felt the extinguisher I discovered how painful is it! An hour later I still feeling a strange sense in the noise and mouth... and I was far of the boy who opened it!

We went to Sant Pere and Castello parties too, and enjoyed a lot the carnival with our personal customised custom!

CORTEO

I February I went with one friend in Barcelona to see Corteo, the new show of Cirque du Soleil. That's about how a clown imagine his funeral. Seems dismal but was a very acrobatic and beautiful show.

Cirque du Soleil is the best circus in the world and they work to hold it. They have the better actors, but, my point of view is that they know how do a show. How manage de clothes, scenery, music... in this show they have a curtain across the stage that fill up over the tent. The clothing is all made by silk. The stunts are fine, calculated and fluid, always around the history.

Someone told me that for Cirque the Soleil made a new show profitable they must be minimum 6 years on tour! Imagine how giant must the inversion be.

Live in circus should be hard. Always moving around the world, without a stable home and that's why I admire the circus actors. They only live to make show and make happy other people, you, us.

Now it's still in Barcelona, if you have a free day I recommend it to you.

ROC DE FRAUSA

In Febreuary I went to Roc de Frausa, the largest mountain in Alt Emporda.

We went to la Vajol at 9.00 am and left the car. We started to walk on a forestal road until found a fontain. We drank and continued walking. At the middle of the way we visited the ruins of one castle (very little but with a fantastic view of the area). Two hours later we arrived to the Salines Refugee and visited an hermitage thats in a cave. We drank and started walking another time, after ate a lof of chocolate (sugar!!). Now the slope was bigger and it tired a lot our legs. One hour later we arrived at "Moixer", where RTVE has an antenna. Roc the Frausa was only 5 minutes from here. We lunch, a omelette and frankfurt sandwich, and relax. We had started walking 5 hours ago!! At the top of the mountain we found snow and had to walk some time on it. We decended by another way, very, very beautiful, but sometimes with 50 cm of leaves!

Eight hours later we arrived at the car. A fantastic day! And then... sleep at nine o'clock. For my surprise the next day I could walk.

It's a very beautiful and peaceful route and I recommend it to all people who likes nature and trekking.

MY IDEAL PARTNER

My ideal partner has to live closer to my town to be able to see him often and should be similar age to share interests.

I like men taller than me, broad-shouldered and well-built. He sould do occasionally sport to be fit. I'm not interested in pale-skinned and very thin men. I like long curly brown-haired with fair eyes, but that's not essential.

After these physical interests I have to say that for me is more important that my partner has an open-mind, can be patient and rather tender, but he has to leave me a bit of independence when I need it, definitely I can't be with a man that's always controlling me and saying what I can or can't do. If you are these type of man be aware! You have to be interested in nature and trekking and accept my passion for animals.

In conclusion, maybe, my ideal partner may be a dog. I know that a perfect man is impossible to find. In my view everyone has negative things and the better way to solve them isn't pretending to change them, but accepting and thinking that is his personal personality. All that stuff is what does a person different, and you fall in love with all man, with positive and negative things. We all have a dark side!

ANDORRA '11

Last February I went with some people of Castelló to Andorra for a weekend. We left Castelló at 6.00h and were, some of us sleeping, in the bus 4 hours. The most important think to sleep is choose a good place... and it’s the corridor. Yes, with a good cushion and a jacket over you… no more pain in your neck, try it!

When we arrived we went, almost running, to the station to start surfing. We were a lot of friends: Núria, Oliver, Maria, Sandra, Lydia… and we were prepared for an intense snow weekend. We still skiing all day and in the afternoon we went to Canillo, the town where we stay and made a volley match with some boys and girls of there. After the dinner we went to Andorra city to make some shopping. I bought a lime helmet… now I’m an apple!!

We returned to the hostel and make fun with the anecdotes of the day in our six bed room. Yes, Andorra is the only place where I have seen three bed litters, amazing, but maybe who sleeps over when he wake up can hit with the roof… but… it isn’t important when you are in Andorra.

The next day we skied more than the before and made the most we could.

We were in Andorra… and we were happy… I miss it!! Please, back!!

FILM REVIEW "DEATH NOTE"

Yesterday with one friend rented the film Death Note. It's a japanese film of a comic serie. The history is about one boy who find one note in the street with the inscription "Death Note". After, he discover that if he write inside the name of one person it dies. He starts to kill criminals. The police start to investigate but can't find who is, and one day arrive one detective of the FBI called L. A lot of population in Japan loves the "work" that Kira (the name that they put to this boy) is doing.
The film is about the course of Kira to doesn't be discovered for L, and they are very inteligent.
There are a creature, the shirigami, that lives with Kira and who only can see the persons who have one Death Note. I love this creature.
I like the film so much because I read the comics and I love them, the history is creative and have action.

FIRE SHOW OF EXCALIBUR

This December for "la Marató de TV3" the action theatre company Excalibur had one fire show in Figueres and I went to do some photos.
This morning I was near Olot with Xiprers al Vent and one of the boys of Excalibur, who was there too, and me went to Figueras in the midday.
I love fire and the show was very good. I enjoyed a lot because they let me stay in a very good position to do photos... and I did a lot!
When the show finished they passed a bottle to put some money for the Marato causes.
Really, they are very good doing their shows and I admire them for this.
Now I put here some photos that I took. I hope you like it!

Dear Madam Lluisa Pintó,

I started ESO in 2006 and tw of my sisters studied here some time ago, so I can have an idea of how the things hace changed.
When I started, people of batxillerat could go out of the center when a teacher wasn't in it. Now we can't. I think it's a waste of time for us and the guard teachers, who can do better things with their time too. That's, for me, the worse change. I can't understand the reason for this.
I can't speak about the computer in 1st and 2nd ESO because I don't like it, but not for the internet problems of the school or other things that happen now, it's only that I that's no good for the students.
Some things that I think that have to change are put mirrors in the bathrooms (at least in the girls ones) enhance the "aula taller" for more students and start more projects to decorate the school (like the murals) but extend it to the classrooms.

Sincerely,

Elvira Fina

MAGMA

The first of February was my birthday and my boyfriend's present was a two hours night session in Magma, a balnearium.
I went to Figueres to meet him and we went to Santa Coloma de Farners.
I had never been in a balnearium and I like it.
There was a warm water pool, a fresh pool and two exterior pools, on of these of warm water.
I loved the warm exterior pool and we passed a lot of time looking the stars.
We went to the saunas too. There were three different types. We first went to one that was at 60ºC nd without vapor. It was so strange because it was a very warm and dry atmosphere and in two minutes you were swearing! After we tried one that was dry too but at 50ºC and with light colour changes and menthol smell. Finally we went to the last one that was of vapor. I didn't like a lot the last one because with the vapor I felt a little bit dizzy.

MY NEW SNOWBOARD

My Christmas present of this year was a Snowboard.
I bought it in December on the internet.
I wasted a lot of time looking for it and wanting one that I liked and thar wasn't very expensive.
Finally and after seeing a lot of boards and bindings I chose one Forum board amn one Flux bindings. The board is very beautiful and the bindings are very basic and black.
I bought the boots before the board and the bindings in "La Roca Village" and I love it, they are very comfortable and beautiful.
First I had a lot of problems to buy the board because the page of the shop didn't let me create a acount, but finally with Nuria's help we discovered the problem.
When the board arrived I was very escited and now I'm very nervous, waiting for the first snow day of the year... this Saturday!

FIRST SNOW DAY OF THE SEASON

I practise snowboard and I love it. The 8th of December I went to Font Romeu and I snowboarded for the first time this season.
We left Castello at 7am with some of my family, Maria's family and one friend.
When we arrived at Font Romeu there was a lot of fogg!!
We thought that the station was losed and we were very sad, but for our surprise it was open!
We went to the town to rent the material and started the journey.
The fg was very dense but you can ski or snwboard without problems.
At the end of the day the fogg started to be denser but it was the hour to return to Castello and there wasn't any problem.
There wasn't a lot of people and I loved it because you didn't have to do queues and the skii slopes were empty.
We enjoyed the day a lot... but I need more!

MALLOL

The first Sunday of December I went to Mallol, a town next to Olot, to see one friend with Exclibur Teather Company, who does medieval fights.
The Mallol town is very little, but all the town is up hill, and they do the show at the top... at the end I couldn't breathe!
I went to Olot by bus and there my sister met me and took me to Mallol. There I had to find where they were and i had surprised my friend because he didn't know that I was there.
They had three shows one of these very funny.
At the lunch time I had a sandwich of half bagette of meat and I was very full and ne of the girls of Excalibur was ill and left me all her dinner... I ate it because it was very good but finally i couldn't move...
At the end of the day they had to go to medieval dinner and I went home with my sister.
It was a very good day and I enjoyed it a lot. I love go to the shows of Excalibur, but now I have to wait some months for the next...

1st day "Xiprers al Vent"

In Castelló the mayor wants one "cau".
The "caus" are like a summer school, every Saturdays two hours, but there, the children (between 6 and 17 years) are voluntary there, they are motivated and are there because they want to be, and this is a big difference between one "cau" and a summer school, where a lot of the children are there because of their parents.
Some people of Castello wants this and went to Xiprers al Vent for our training, because the mind of the "heads" (the name of the monitors) is different, they want to put on the cildren the responsibility, the team work, the respect for others... and because the children are, the same, a lot of years going, it's possible.
Well, another time to the first day. We, 8 boys and girls, went to the cau one hour after to speak with the cau's important heads. Finally i'm with the wolves, the children between 8 and 11 years, and I like it a lot.
That afternoon we did a treasure hunt in Figueres, that was very funny, they had to find some envelopes where were a clue. The funniest was one that the chindren had to find two squid in the restauranrs, and they could do it!
The afternoon was very funny and I'm waiting for the next time very anxiously.
