GAP YEAR

A gap year is a year that a student can take after finishing high school and before going to college.
That's when you can travel, get a job and work, rest and reflect...

My gap year would consist on a trip around the world. I'd visit 9 countries in 10 months. The first month, I'd prepare myself for the long trip and being with my friends and family. After the first month, I'd go to Greece for 3 weeks. In Greece, I would visit a lot of islands and the main Ancient Greece remains. After it, I'd go to Egypt for 3 weeks, to see the amazing remains of the pyramids and that stuff. The following 2 weeks, I'd spend my time exploring the city of Dubai. It would be interesting to see the luxorious life that people live there. The next country would be Japan. This would be one of the longest stops. I'd be there for 2 or 3 months. I'd visit a lot of places, and the reason why it would take a lot of time is that those places are very separate from each other. The next month and a half, I would be in Thailand, visiting the nature and the amazing beaches. After Thailand, I'd go to Australia, for a month. I'd visit cities like Sydney or Canberra, but I'd visit also the desert. Next of that, I'd spend a moth resting in the Hawaii's beaches, visiting its volcanoes... After the relaxing experience, I'd go to U.S.A., where I'd visit a lot of cities like New York, L.A., California..., I'd go to the route 66, to the Grand Canyon.... All of these activities would take me possibly 2 or 3 months easily. And, finally, I'd return to Europe visiting a northern country, such as Iceland, just to see the white and cold landscapes, and visiting Reykjavik. In the end, I'd return home, I'd spend a month with my family and friends and getting used to the routine once again.

The whole trip would cost a lot of money and time, but it would help me a lot to rest, to get a lot of experience about life, meet lots of people, learning different languages, improving my english skills, finding out more things about myself, resting after a lot of years studying, etc.
It's a complicated gap year project because of the money, but it would be the best year of my entire life, that's sure.

Green Day - American Idiot

Green Day (band) - Billie Joe Armstrong (singer)  -  American Idiot (song)

Published on 21 September 2004

This song protests and complains about the thoughts of USA, that everybody believes what the media and the president says. And it is all a paranoia. It also says, that the president doesn't care so much for the people and his country, saying "where everything isn't meant to be okay". The singer tells that the media controlls the citizens, and these people let this situation happen. He reffers USA with Alien nation, and this could be because everybody is weird, thinking and doing things with no-sense.  The media was focusing on things like terrorism a lot, and the proportion of people who died during those years, wasn't THAT important.  For example, there were more deaths by driving than by terrorism. This made the people get a little bit mad and start worrying about terrorism and other things less important than other ones. Because of that, he says it is the age of paranoia and hysteria.

Now, on the 2017 and 2018 some people have started saying that this song fits perfectly with the new president of USA, Donald Trump. When the song was published was a little bit popular, however, now, the people have started talking about it and has ressurrected to start new protests and that popularity has increased. I have chosen this song because of that. It was a protest song when it was published and now is still a protest song of what is happening nowadays.

BYE BYE ESO

ESO has come to an end. After 4 years, I can finally say that it has finished and it has been a good stage of the obligatory school. I've work a lot those 4 years to get a good mark. I have achieved that. 

When I arrived in high school, I was keen to start ESO, it was a new stage for me, it was exciting. In the 1st year, I made some new friends and I met lots of people I didn't know yet. The easiest course for me was 2nd grade of ESO. It is the course that I have worked less of ESO. And the one that I have the best average mark, a 10/10. 3rd ESO wasn't that difficult like some people said. It wasn't  my best year, but it was nice. Finally, the last year has been easy at the beginning but really hard at the end. I think that is because I started working, being a musician, and if you want to study (having really high and great marks) and work (doing your job well) it's hard. Now, that the final term has finished, I can say that I have finished good, but I can't stop working until I improve some marks I consider that they have to be greater. I have only 1 week and a half to improve that marks and have the ones I want. Right now, I'm really tired and saturated of non stop working, but it's only a week and a half and I have to do my best and finish good the course and ESO. 

I haven't got more things to say, just 4 years of working and meeting people.

MY PET

I have a little dog, called Danko. He is 10 months old approx. He is a beagle and he is really naughty. He always want to play and he's going wild running from a side to the other of my yard. It's really smart and very funny. My family and I bought it when it was 3 months old, so it has been in my house for half a year.

 2 years ago, I had a dog, called Danna. She died because she was very old. And since then, I always wanted a dog. 

It's brown black and white. He isn't very big. He is so beautiful and I love him very much. He has adapted himself very good in his new house and we are all really happy about that.

That's a photo of him:

CONSOLES AND GAMES

When I was little, I used to play a lot of videogames. Nowadays, I continue playing, but obviously, not as when I was a child. One of the unique things that I used to do in my free time, some years ago was play with a Playstation, a Nintendo DS... I was always thinking in games, buying new ones and playing. Now, I'm very busy studying and working, so I haven't much time. And that little free time that I have, I don't want to "waste" it playing videogames. i think now it's more important to be with the family and friends, go out of the house, play sports instead of play with a machine... I think that I have changed a lot in what I do in my free time in those years. And I really like the change. Because when I was closed in my house playing lots of hours, I finished tired, tired of doing nothing. 

With this I don't want to say that play videogames is a waste of time, and it's better to not do it. But I think that our generations are too much addicted to the consoles and we are leaving apart some important aspects of the life.

ONE PIECE

One piece is a series that I have been watching since I was very little. It's an anime /manga that talks about the story of a guy called Luffy. He is a young boy that wants to become the pirate king, and being the freer man in the world. To achieve his dream he has got to fight a lot, make lots of friends and work hard. The story happens in a different world, where there are lots of things to discover. Luffy is a gum boy, because he ate a fruit that made him be like that. There are lots of mysteries, funny moments, a deep story, lots of characters.... This series is my favourite one because I have grown watching it, and it has taught me lots of things like being sincere, trust and take care of my friends, fight for my dreams and never give up. The series started in 1997 and it isn't finished yet. Nowadays, it has 906 manga chapters and approximate 830 anime episodes (20 min). I love this show and I'll continue watching it until it ends.
