THE END.


And that's all. Six years of my life I have been living in this high school... and now... what will happen? Will be better the future? I hope so... Really... how could the years pass so fast?? I can't believe it!!! Is it true that have passed 6 years since I entered to this high school? 6 YEARS!  I remember when I was doing 2nd ESO... I said to me: wow... I still have four years to finish! What a loooong time...

I have lived a lot of great moments in this high school. I have also lived bad moments, of course... but when I grow up, I know I will remember this period with a big smile. I have learnt a lot and I have changed.

I won't miss only the ambience, the companions, the great moments (Italy, Playback,...). I will miss the teachers too! Really... Thanks for all :)


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away... oh yesterday, came suddenly...

FINAL REFLECTION: MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE 2012

Really, I don't know which oral presentation I have to choose. For me, anyone of them are good. But I think the best I have done is the last one, my oral presentation about my Research Project. (although my horrible voice in that moment!)
Best oral evidence: 

Best written evidence:

On one hand, I have choose my presentation of my Research Project because it was the first oral presentation I didn't need to read the paper all the time. In addition, I love the theme, so it was more easier for me to talk about it :) 

On the other hand, I think my best written post was "WHY?".  I'm not saying it's very well written, without spelling mistakes... However, I believe it's a post who's well structured. Moreover, it's very philosopher and interesting... For this reason I think it's my best work in this blog.

FINAL REFLECTION: MY ENGLISH PROGRESS


In comparation of my first post in 2010, my english expression has enriched. Most of all with the connectors and the adjectives: slighlty, quite, extremely, although, as long as,.. I learnt too a lot of false friends as: carpet, sensitive and sensible, college,... and I have learnt also a lot of phrasal verbs I didn't know before! But the most important thing I can see, is that I have more fluency of language now. I can express myself very well in comparation from 4th ESO. Here you can see my first post:

However, I don't find too much differences with the structure and the content in my posts. 


Here you have my first podcast:

And the last oral presentation:

Moreover, I think I have improved my pronunciation.. But not too much. It's so difficult for me... In any case, I can say I have developed my fluency of language and presentations this year. Before, It was impossible to me to do an oral presentation... I don't like them either, but at least I could do them in a more easily way... On the other hand, when I translate my Rawiora's short movie I learnt a lot, because I used typical english expressions which said to me Rebecca. 


In addition, I have to say that I have found a personal development in my posts. I'm the same childish girl who talks always about the same impossible things, but I can see an evolution in my blog, a personal and mentally evolution. As long as the years have passed, I have became more worried... Selectivitat and my future are near, and I notice it. In 4th ESO my posts were more optimists and childish!

HAPPINESS (is a waaarm guuun...)


I read a post on Andrea's blog about happiness and it left me thinking. 

How do you know when you are really happy? In the deepness of your heart.  I feel happy when I'm watching my favorite movie. I feel euphoric when I write stories and I record videos. I feel happy everytime I talk with my best friend Víctor, or everytime I'm into Pau's arms. When I'm listening to The Beatles I am very hilarious! 

But... is this the real happiness? How can I know that? Because when my favorite movie ends I'm sad. Because I can't be always doing what I love, as write stories or record videos. Because I can't always talk with Víctor, and Pau is not every day by my side. Because when a Beatles song ends, I need to listen to another one before I fall in the real life, in the routine, in the sadness. 

So, in conclusion, happiness is an intermittent thing. It's not always here. But we are always looking for it! That's life: a pursuit of happiness. So I'll live!! And I hope that someday, I will be able to answer all these questions! I'll live the best I can... although it seems difficult, sometimes. 

Few minutes ago, Víctor has said to me something I had forgot... and that was something I said in Rawiora! "You always have to find the good things even if they are only small details... they can be so important."

Do you know...? I want to be happy. I want to find happiness. And I'll do. Because I can't live this way. The problem is that I don't know what I'm looking for... Oh please, I need that Mr. Shawder takes me to the Nommon....


GOODBYE PEP!


  I'm not very fond of football, but I'm proud of Barça. It's the football team of my country, Catalunya. They are really good football players and Pep has been an very important person into the club. He has been amazing... I don't know how to say this. I mean, he has always believed with his team, he always has brought confidence, vitality, calmness, recognition... during these years, he has been everything for the Barça. And we'll miss him a lot, but Tito will do it well I think! 

 This video almost made me cry... it's extremely emotional... it had to be so emotive to be there in that moment... my brother was! But it's funny when Pep is trying to escape of the players and he can't... Hahaha poor man! I love the moment when sounds Coldplay and they are on a circle... :) It must be incredible to be in the middle of the pitch where thousand of people are there for you... You have to feel yourself as a God. Maybe Guardiola is a God. 

 THANKS PEP!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL!!!!!

I want to do a Magical Mystery Tour. I NEED to do a Magical Mystery Tour. With The Beatles. Or alone if it's necessary. So far away from here.

And taking relax, seeing the sky with diamonds, staying in the strawberry fields,... The trip of my life!

THE ARTIST: A MASTERPIECE


The Artist is a french romantic comedy drama in the style of a black and white silent movie. It's written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius and it's starring by Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo. The story takes place in Hollywood, between 1927 and 1932. It's focused in the relationship of an older silent actor and a rising young actress, in the moment when the mute cinema fell out of fashion and it was replaced by the talkies. The Artist has won a lot of prizes... and really, I can understand why. It worths. 

I watched it some days ago. I love watching movies, so everytime I can, I go to the videoclub and I choose a film. Thats time I chose The Artist. The only thing I knew about this movie was that it won a lot of prizes (inclusive the dog that appears won an Oscar!) In consequence, I decided to watch it and therefore, I would be able to give an opinion. 

I think it's a really original movie! It starts as a silent film, I found it very interesting. You can see a lot of symbolism (a thing I love about movies). The Artist is entertaining, funny, dramatic... On the other hand, the actors are awesome. Indeed, they have done a magisterial work! In conclusion, A MASTERPIECE. Everyone who's fond of cinema MUST see it. 

For example, some "dialogues" which make me think is this:
Peppy Miller: [answer to question at interview] out with the old and make way for the new, that's life.
George Valentin: [after getting up and gesturing to his chair] I've made way for you.

"I've made way for you..." What a truth! All started with silent movies, so actors and actress of talkies would have to show the due respect to the "old" actors. 

Clifton: If you want to be an actress, you need to have something others don't.

This quote reminded me of Johnny... what an obsession! I don't know, but I like very much this quote and it makes me think...

In summary, I recommend this movie to all people who loves cinema!! (or to everyone who wants to enjoy during two hours!)

TITANIC EXHIBITION IN BARCELONA


Since I saw Titanic's movie in 1st of Eso, I have been really interested in it. I have read books, I have seen documentals,... It's amazing. In consequence, I needed to go to Titanic's exhibition in Barcelona!! And I went there :) There was a LOT OF PEOPLE. We had to done two hours to enter... but it worth it. Really.



First, we had to enter for a gangway, where they took us a photograph. We bought the photo... it really seems we are in the Titanic! Afterwards, they gave us auriculars. As long as we were listening to the record, it was guiding us through the different rooms. There were a lot of photographs, objects which were found in Titanic's rests and also in the pockets deads... 

There was a lot of stories into that transatlantic. I started to cry as long as I was listening to them. For example, there was a couple who decided to die together, holding each other in a cabin, because the husband couldn't get on the lifeboats and his wife decided to stay with him. 

It's a tragic story, but really, it happened because they wanted.... I mean, there's a lot of things that Titanic's tripulation didn't care:

First of all, there wasn't enough lifeboats. It should have had 64 rowboats with a capacity for 72 people and they put only 32. Why? Because they thought it wasn't aesthetic and also that people couldn't bask in the sun very well because of the little space. Moreover, when Titanic was sinking, there were a lot of lifeboats with ONLY 15 PEOPLE. And they had capacity to 72!!! 

A part from that, if White Star Line's president, Bruce Ismay, hadn't wanted to go too fast, they could evade the iceberg... Captain's Smith was asking him that, but he didn't listen him. Finally, we have remember that they forget their binoculars... so it's understandable they didn't see before the iceberg. 

In the exhibition there was a mini iceberg. They said that it had the same temperature as the sea water when Titanic sank. That cold was unbearable; I couldn't take it more than 10 seconds! Poor people... Really, it's an interesting exhibition and I recommend it to everybody!! I'm extremely sensitive and I cried... 

As you can see, there was a lot of Titanic's sceneries, like this suite. 

In conclusion, what a pity that Titanic is now under the sea... it was a INCREDIBLE transatlantic,... I can't believe it yet.
