This is the last post I will write on this blog because I have already finished 4th ESO.
These four years have been amazing because I made new amazing friends and I learned a lot of things. Also we had so many new adventures, I will never forget all the laughs we had, all the students and teachers I met and also the Italy trip which was unforgettable.
I can also remember the first day I went to the high school. I was very nervous because I was expecting people to be unfriendly and classes being super difficul because it was what some people told me. But then I arrived and I met new frendly people and it wasn't that hard.
I am expecting to stay here next year in bachellor but I am a bit sad because it is never gonna be the same because some are leaving and some are arriving.
So I can say that even if there were bad and stressing moments, it has been an amazing expirence.
To me, New Zeland is one of the most beautiful places in the world and one of my dreams is to visit it.
The things I love the most about it:
1.- The amazing landscapes.
Wherever you look, you see green and blue.
2.- The New Zeland national rugby team.
I've always found them really curious and funny because of the tradition of the Haka, a traditional war dance to intimimdate the enemy and, aparently it works.
3.- The 90 Mile Beach
The 90 Mile Beach is on the western coast of the north of North Island of New Zeland. Also the beach is a highway but you can go subathing, swimming, surfing... And also the beach is next to the Aupouri Forest so there's also a escape from the sun. But the most beautiful thing of this place is that when the sun sets you have the most amazing landscape you've ever seen.
4.- You're never far from the sea.
I couldn't live in a place far away from the sea, so New Zeland is perfect because the furthest away you can get is about 80 miles, but a lake is always near in case you are worried.
5.- The"Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu" hill. It's on the east coast of New Zeland's North Island and it's not a particulary amazing hill but its name is. The translation to English is"the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater', played his flute to his loved one."
6.- The Aurora Borealis.
It is my favourite thing about this country but you have to struggle to get fa enough south.
The Auroras are electrically charged particles from solar winds that enter the Earth's atmosphere and react with the gases. The colours of the aurora depend to a number of facts: the type of gas molecule, the electrical state at the time of collision, and the type of solar wind particle that the gas collides with.
The problem is that the Southern Light are not very preditable and they occur with 30 minutes of notice. Also if it's a full moon or cloudy night you won't be able to see them.
They happen all year around but the best moments are in winter (March to September) and the best places of New Zeland are the Stewart Island, the Lake Tekapo and the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park, and The Catlines.
In 4th of ESO you have to do a research project in groups and then you have to present it so the teachers can give you a mark.
I have made it with Yasmina and Ioana and we did it about daltonism which is a inability to perceive color differences. We have chosen this theme because we are in biology class and lately we have been talking about it so we wanted to know more about it and we thought that it would we a good research to see the percentage of affected population in Castelló d'Empúries.
The process was actually fun because the practice consisted on going class by class and doing the Ishihara test to some of the students, so we met new people and we also found some daltonic ones.
Doing the writing was the hardest part because we also had to deal with exams and some other projects but luckly we were three so we divided the work and it was faster.
Also, two weeks ago, we presented what we have found to the class and I think was very good because we knew about what we were talking about and none of us was nervous.
This is how the Ishihara test works. If you have a normal vision you see the number like the first one but if you have a decrased ability to see color you will see the first numer like the second or the third one, depending of your grade of daltonism.
This is how a daltonic sees the color pencils depending on how is he/she affected.
In 2014 I went to England and I stayed in Plymouth for two weeks. It was amazing because it was the first time that I travelled without my parents that far and insted I went there with some friends and others that I met there. Plymouth was a lovely and also the people of the house where I stayed.
2.- I have already gone to my favourite singer's concert.
Last year I went to Cody Simpson's concert with Anisa and it was amazing because he is not very famous in Spain so the place was very little and we were like 3 meters away from the stage. The best part was when he sang without the microphone and everyone in the place was silent.
3.- I have already jumped a cliff.
Last summer I went on vacations with my cousin to his oncle's house in Galicia. One day the Galician's cousin took us to a river and we swam there for a while. Also there was a big rock next to a profund zone so we jumped from there. At first it was scary but then we couldn't stop doing it because it was so fun.
4.- I've never flown in a hot air ballon.
One of the things I want to do in a future is to fly in a hot air ballon and watch the sunrise from the sky.
5.-I haven't studied in a Univeristy yet.
One of my goals in life is to finish high school and go to the University. Since I was young I 've always wanted to study clinical veterinary medicine but it's really difficult to have enough mark. The only thing I know is that I am gonna work as hard as I can to study one thing I really enjoy doing.
6.- I haven't been to USA yet.
One day I want to travel to USA because I think that it's a beautiful place. I want to drive the route 66 and also I want to visit so many other places like Washington, New York, Florida...
It is a romantic drama film about a man, Logan Thibault, who is a U.S.Marine serving in Iraq. One day he finds a picture of a woman just before a mortal attack destroys where he has been sitting.
After that, he returns to USA and he decides that he is going to find the woman who saved his life and he is going to thank her.
He searches the white lighthouse of the photo and he finds that she lives in a farm in a little village and her name is Beth Green. He moves there and meets the woman but he doesn't tell her the reason why he arrived. Logan asks her for work in his farm just to stay close to her and although she doesn't want to, Beth's mother hires him.
Time goes on and Beth still doesn't trust him but she will fall in love with him until she finds out the real truth about who is he.
The Wulingyuan area is in the Zhangjiajie National Park in China's Hunan Province.
I've always wanted to visit the Zhangjiajie Park because I think that this place is amazing because of the enormous sandstone pillars and peaks, many over 200 m high. Also in the park there are many caves, pools and waterfalls and two large natural bridges.
I also want to travell here because I really like the nature, and China has the most beautiful National Parks in the world. Also I like the heights.
Your love is bright as ever Even in the shadows Baby kiss me Before they turn the lights out Your heart is glowing And I'm crashing into you Baby kiss me, kiss me Before they turn the lights out Before they turn the lights out Baby love me lights out
In the darkest night hour I'll search through the crowd Your face is all that I see I'll give you everything Baby, love me lights out Baby, love me lights out
We don't have forever Baby daylight's wasting You better kiss me Before our time is run out Nobody sees what we see They're just hopelessly gazing Baby take me, take me Before they turn the lights out Before time is run out Baby love me lights out

This is my favourite picture of Italy. I really like this one because it was taken on the top of the Florence's Duomo and it was one of the most beautiful monuments we saw during the trip because of the views. Also this day was my favourite day, because we had free time to visit Florence by ourselves so we walked a lot and we has so much fun. This day was also very tiring because we had to wait two hours in a line to get to the Duomo but it was also fun because we were playing cards and talking. Also then we had to climb 463 steps to get to the top, but it was worth it.
At the background of the photo you can see the red roofs of the Florence's houses. I also love this picture beacause I am with my friends and because it reminds me of the good times we had during this amazing trip to Italy.
