Kitesurf

Soon my cousin is going to teach me how to kitesurf. My cousin has competed in many sailing competitions and he is one of the best, and in the summer, he proposed to me to go on his boat for two days, and I really want to.

Invictus

After I arrived from my snowboard day, I went with my brother and his girlfriend to see Invictus. This film talks about Nelson Mandela's life. When the film finished I thought about racism because in the film, Nelson Mandela is a peaceloving person and before I saw the film I thought he was a criminal. I love this film.

Snow day

On 20th February, I went to Font Romeu for the last time and it was the best day compared to the others because the weather was really good. It was surprising because the day before, my mother said it was going to be terrible with wind and clouds, and when I arrived it was very cold (-15o), but there weren't any clouds and there weren't any wind gusts. To say good bye until the next year, I did a special jump.

Carnival

Last weekend it was carnival in Castelló. I went with my brother and his friends at midnight and when I arrived there wasn't a lot of people, but when I come home (at half past three in the morning), there was a lot of people. There was a band that played a song and after the song finished, they started another song with the same cords, and I loved this.

Sant Jordi

On Sant Jordi, my friend and I, are going to play a Rumba song of "La Pegatina" it is colled "Gat Rumbero", in English: Rumba Cat. And after this song, we going to play a "El Canto del Loco" song. On this day, the other music students are going to play some songs too. I think it will be the same style of songs every year and we are the first people to play Rumba.
