Oral presentations

Nowadays at school we are used to doing oral presentations and I’m absolutely agree with this change. We are in a time of change. We are moving for innovation, the news technology, new findings. So we need to do a lot of presentations. I’m sure that all the students suffer the terrible situation of standing in front of everybody. You can’t breathe, your body trembles, everybody is looking at you and you need to talk, you have to say something. But you can’t. For example my oral presentation of TDR it was terrible, my worst oral presentation of all my life. My voice was trembling, the words couldn’t came out of my mouth. The truth is that I felt rather stupid. But at that moment you have to talk you don’t have another option. (For bad luck)

With all this I mean that we need to do more oral presentations, we do a lot but not enough. We have to practice until we feel more confidant, until it seems more natural. In all works you need to know how communicate in front of the public, how to speak with people that you don’t know. Even though I hate to do oral presentations I know we need more practice.

A soulmate

We are influenced by films and they create on us a hope to finding our soulmate.

“A soulmate is a person whom you have immediate connection the moment you meet your soulmate. A connection so strong that you are draw to them in a way that you have never experienced before”. It exist but we can find more than one. In all our lives we meet new people and depends on the situation we prefer different kinds of soulmates.

That’s why we only have to live our life and in some moment we will find that moment. The moment on your heart stops. The moment of your life that divides your life in to: your life before meeting him, and your life after to meet him. In some moment these feels will break up but your life continue. And will appears a new soul mate for you. This person that make you feel protected and secure. This feel to look each other into the eyes and you don’t know why but you are smiling.

In conclusion, a strong connection, in amazing moment.

" Sant Jordi"

How everybody knows the tradition is the boys give a rose to the girl and the girls give a book. So I hoped that my dad or my brother would buy one for me but they didn’t do it. With Lídia we decided to go to Figueres and buy some books. And we did it. Also we could see that everybody was in love, all the Rambla was full of couples ( the girl with a rose in her hand and the boy probably the book in his backpack) for that reason we felt a little depressed but we were happy for them. I decided to buy a cupcake of chocolate (amazing cupcake) and I enjoyed a little more. Now I can see how commercialism affects us. Because our society profits from the 23 of April to sell more and more so it’s another day to raise the sales.

Even though a lot of people don’t remember the story of the importance of the day. I want say that when I returned to my house my father gave me a book so I am also a bit commercial as well!

"Setmana Santa"

A desired week for all students of second batxillerat. I want to talk about this break that we had. A break that for my opinion we needed. I’m sure if we didn’t have it I wouldn’t be able to finish batxillerat. My body needed a break to disconnect from the school world, I needed new air.

I’m also thankful for it because if we didn’t stop we can’t stop until selectivitat (more stress). So we can use this week to work but also for our time. In my case I used this time for ballet but also to go out and meet with my friends. How I explained in another post I had an awesome excursion with very good weather.

So after these seven days I was prepared to start gain. With enthusiasm to finish the little time which we will spend in a place where I will never come back to. For this reason I will try to enjoy it. After this explanation I want to show that if we only work it is not good for us, we need to have fun as well.

A little break in our life

There (the first photo) we can see a beach from “Cap de Creus”. This is a typical Mediterranean place. The beach seems like a big pool which ends at the open sea. This reminds us summer. The water, which is as blue as the sky and as clear as diamonds, is so awesome and extraordinary that it seems unreal. This photo was taken yesterday. With some friends we did an amazing excursion across the coast. We walked six hours but the landscape was indescribable. Our plan was  to disconnect from the world and we did it. This was a time to realize about how beautiful and magical the Costa Brava is. The second photo  is the photo before we jumped into the sea for the first time of the year (18/04/2014). The water was very cold at the first moment. But we had a sensation of liberty, how I said before, we disconnected from the world. I want to recommend  to you that someday you  do it!

Operation bikini

It’s time for operation bikini. Yes, the summer will come back in a short time so I’m sure that the gyms will be fuller. Everybody is a little scared about their body. Summer times means beach time and it means bikini time, so we need to be in form to look good. People start diets again. But my operation bikini is to go to the gym, also do come abdominals while I’m in class. They consist of breathing in with your stomach in, hold 20 seconds. And then you have to breathe out. So you take advantage of your time because you are doing two things at the same time. With my cousin we decided to go to the gym on New Year’s Day and we still haven’t been! But today after 3 months we’re going to the gym!

But I propose another thing apart from gong to the gym her name is “dance walking” a new fashion in exercise. While you’re walking you dance, jump and you do whatever you think about. So you enjoy the place (that you’re seeing) and you dance. A mixt of dance and walk. And it must be so funny and funnier that if you do this with your friends. Also it does not cost any money!

Change in the Abortion Law

Few days ago the abortion law changed. Now, it is illegal.

Firstly I want to say that I'm totally opposed to his absurd law. We are returning to the past. They are controlling us. They are deciding for our body. They are taking away some of our life.

The government, as usual, control us but now they cross the line.

Everybody has their opinions and enough knowledge to think they want to do. If you have a child your life change. If, for example, I have a baby my life will change completely. This means that everybody knows their situation  and I think that in these "modern times it's absurd that we're retuning to the past.

Also if for some mistake a teenager is pregnant , their life will be ruined. if for some terrible thing happens like that someone raped you. you have to be pregnant because some stupid person ruined your life it's absurd that you can't have an abortion!! Yes, I know that for this case is you pass a test you can abort, but they make you a lot of tests and maybe they don't believe you.

So, if their mentality is too closed it isn't our fault. it has to be a male that made this law.... A chauvinistic male. I'm sure that they didn't think that if their daughters is pregnant, he will be a grandfather for his stupid and ridiculous law.

I have my right to do whatever I want with my pussy!

"A not Carpe diem time"

Yes, a strange tittle but it's that, we are living in a pessimist time. A lot of problems? Maybe these are influencing iour lives; the model of how to see the life, Crisis, no work, cuts, hunger...

I know that Carpe Diem is not always possible. For example now! A student's life especially second batxillerat. There isn't time to enjoy life. But I'm optimistic and this summer Carpe Diem will be possible. This is a plus but I'm not here to write about my summer, I’m here to talk about Carpe Diem in general.

I want to ask a question. If you have in front of you a big chocolate cake will you eat it? Tomorrow will you go to some country that you wished to visit? I’m sure that the answer to these questions is no. Why? Because this is not what we are supposed to do. In our minds these are not correct. We have to change our minds, the things aren’t  good or bad, correct or incorrect. You have to have your own moderation. You aren’t forced to have the typical life: study, university, marriage, children…So if you are feeling that you aren’t enjoying your life, if you wake on Monday without interest it means that there is something that doesn’t work so the solution is change it. Think about that: What do I really want to do? Am I using Carpe diem?.Am I living the life that I really want? But I know that you have to have the balls to change it. Don’t be a marionette, don’t let the system control you. Do whatever you want. Live your life because you only have one and the time passes rather quickly. Do all that you can do to wake up on Monday with the feeling to eat the world.

Should the school curriculum include "basics" first aid, cooking, organising house bills, and general maintenance?

Everyone knows that the worst time of our life (I'm talking about working) is batxilerat, so I ant to propose some ideas. These are really important in our life but in school you don't learn anything about these basics. So teachers teach you things you will not need to know in life.

If someone stabs themselves by accident with  some scissors what are we supposed to do? We have to remove it or not? We need to prees on it or not? We need to know what are supposed to do.

Another topic is learn to cook! I'm sure that the half of batxillerat don't know how cook. Because probably their mothers or fathers ever do all that her baby want.

I'm sure next year at university somebody will be hungry or they will spend a lot of money on fast food.

We need to learn it. But in school nobody teaches it. Their basics things have to be subjects. So maybe we will go so much relaxed and we learn some things to survive.

Can good people transform into bad people?

In our society, people think that there are two sides: On one hand we have good people and on the other bad people. A normal people think taht they can never be a bad person. They think that there is a big difference between them. But there isn't.

Milgram, a psychologist, did an experiment to investigate if one "normal" person with pressure and influence could change into a bad person. His experiment consisted on putting in one room a person with a false scientist who's saying "continue please" and in another room a person (an actor) Connected to false electric cables. So when the acor was wrong ( repeating some words taht the person in the other room had said for the actor to reamember). The person clicked a button and this represent sent a pretend electric corrent to the actor. Then the actor shouted and the scientist said: " continue please". The nrmal people continued. 68% of people "killed" the other person only because the pressure from a false scientist.

With this experiment we can see that with a llittel pressure we can transfrom into bad people, like Nazis, they were pressured by Hitler. If you think you can arrive to a conlcuison: it isn't so much difference between us. We are manipulated so easily by the atmosfphere or by one person. So, we can transform into bad people because the límits of bad and good people are very close.

Age limits, are they correct? Alcohol, smoking

Yes, this is a typical question,I'm sure that all children think : Why I can not drink alcohol? I have to hide this from my parents but If you look, all the children drink it.

Every time earlier If you look at very young children (12 years old) they drink. It's amazing. So, I think that maybe age limits are good but the society don't take any notice of them. Maybe the solution is more control because if society continues in this way in some years the babies will drink alcohol and not milk! We need a solution to it.

The correct age to start drinking, ocassionally, maybe it's at 16-17 because SOME, with emphasis on the word, people have control.

another is the smoking in this way I  think that the only solution is to forbid it. But the state don't want do this. Because with tax on cigarettes earn a lot of money. They are not interested in our health.

All and all, we have to remember that alcohol and smoking are drugs. So, if we like it we can drink or smoke in some occasions. But we must be responsible. We need to be mature to see at what moment is enough.  Finally, I want say that children don't see it. They relate alcohol with parties, so with it we can see that they aren't enought to drink or smoke.

I can't live without my mobile phone!

Actually, the mobile phone is a basic necessity. It means that the mobile phones,it's like the oxigen. You can't live without it.

If you need to talk to somebody you sent a whats or if you arrive later you sent sorry I'm late, I'm coming. Now, is our social life. In one hand you talk with all the people that you want , you spent  all the time whats, maybe, it'smore easy to talk without seeing our faces. So you can say whatever you think it's like a piece of cake talk to somebody. We are addicts, it's like a drug. You don't need to pay yo talk, you don't need to visit your parents or to talk to your parents, only you need to send a whats and say "Hi mum I'm at Lídia's house". but on the other hand you spend a lot of time, we making spelling mistakes. Because we are used to writing with a short form. In some cases you don't say the sameif you are face to faces. If you don't have whatsupp maybe we would learn a lot of things like a sport or we would read much more. The mobile phone is bad for our sight. So in the future most people will wear glasses.

In conclusion I want to say that all things have the good side and bads side. But If the mobile phone disappears most probably is that I will die. Maybe this sounds radicul but it's true. The society can't live without them, we are a new generation. The Mobile Phone Generation.
