Wind, water, life.

Who says that summer has come to an end? 

I know that it is autum since the 21st of September, but we still have good weather to enjoy and make the most of our time going to the beach, outdoors and... Of course do some sport! Those who have read older posts on this blog may know that I love watersports and, as you can imagine, today I've been kiting in st.Pere.

September is one of the best months to kite because it is still hot, the water is warm and there's no people on the beach... The beach? Yes I could go to the beach, but what if there's a magnific river with flat water and wide enough to kite?! Obviously I've kited on the river and it was fantastic, and to do it even better, a friend of mine has lent me his surfboard. It is kind of a surfing board but with different finns and grip instead of wax, it is super funny... Can you figure out the wipeouts kiting without straps? Hehe... At first it was quite difficult but after some practice I've succeeded to jibe and surf some waves (I've also been to the sea kiting to avoid crashing my kite before knowing how to manage with the surfboard).

Something I do love from this spot is the calm you breathe there, the sights are very beautiful and there are a lot of birds around. The river flows pacificaly and the trees and the waves create a very special relaxing feeling. When you are there you lose the sense of time and... It has its cons! Because of that I arrived at home about half past seven and I had to do my homework a bit late:(

In conclusion, this afternoon has been great: I've kited on the river, I've learnt some tricks and I've taken force to continue the week!

On the photo you can see part of the river (not the wide one) and the sea with a nice boat on the front during a beautiful sunset.

bye bye ESO

Well... what can I say? ESO's gone so fast that I just can't believe it. We have lived so many different moments!

I remember my first day in the centre, when we arrived and we didn't know anything about our new class, the INS... they put us in a queue and just like the Harry Potter's selection ceremony with the hat, they shouted our names saying who was in each class. It seems like yesterday!

Now, four years have passed and we're just two days far from the end. Well, not exactly "the end", just a good bye for three months, but this good bye means a lot. After summer we'll start a different step of our lives and I'm really looking forward for it, although I will miss a lot ESO. 

 When I think of this four years in the high school, I just can remember good things, the great people I've met, many special moments, of course stressing days! but over all, ESO has been one of the best experiences in my life. 

Bye bye ESO!

the following

"The following" is a punchy exciting television drama series that narrates the story of an FBI's adviser who helps hunting a very dangerous man who escaped from prison and founded a wealthy and agressive sect that is brain-washed and does whatever he wants. His objective is to kidnap his son, reescape from a high security prison and kill his ex-wife. To do it, his "servants" obey his orders and run his complicated plans avoiding the FBI and killing several people by their way.

This amazing serie that came on spanish TV about four weeks ago, is so exciting that keeps you awake everey second until credits appear. It's on TV on Wednesdays and in my opinion it's different of all investigation series, reaching one of the best places in my presonal "TV ranking".

If you have the chance to watch it, believe me, don't miss it!

PS: look for some info about Edgar Allan Poe before watching it, you'll enjoy it more!

TIC TAC

Tic tac, tic tac, tic... Time's running and every second we're nearer to summer!

Although it doesen't look like summer because of the weather, in two weeks we're finishing school. I like going to school but I'm looking forward for summer more than any year because just a few days after classes I'm going to Ireland!!! I'm very excited to return there, I went to Ireland last year with Nil and this year we're going again with another friend of mine, Marcel. And there's more: we have arranged to meet some italian and polish friends we met last year.

I love summer, it is one of that seasons that you want them to arrive and last forever. However, this year I'll be happy to start school again in September because I'm starting Batxillerat, a new period, a new class, and something very different from ESO. I have to admit that I'm a little scared of Batxillerat because everyone says that it is very difficult, but any way I'm excited to start Batxillerat and leave ESO... But there's also that feeling of missing something before finishing it, because there will be some people who won't study Batxillerat and it is possible to stop seeing them.

I'll tell you about Batxillerat in September!

education is the key

Suli Breaks speaks about education and says: Education is the key, but schl is the lock.
Do you agree with that? I half do and half don't.
I agree that education is essential for society and to create a better world, have a good future, etc. However, I totally disagree with the sentence that school is the lock! Perhaps sometimes it is too much rigid or you're told to do things that you really wouldn't do, but I honestly think that we do need schools. Of course the system could be improved, but it isn't so terrible! I do like going to school and my cousin, who is studying medicine (which is not exactly an easy grade), always tells me how interesting and exciting is going to university. So this makes me think that Breaks can have a great opinion and be very persuasive, but I don't agree with all he says.

What do you think?

a genius

The British girl Neha Ramu, original from Bangalore has scored the maximum IQ level possible, even more than Stephen Hawking!

As you know, an IQ test is used to rate the intelligence and the normal result is about 90-109 but Neha got a 162, what is considered a genius. 

She explains that she doesn't feel clever, just very curious and I think this is quite modest, considering her amazing capacity. On the video she says that her dream is to never stop studying and a very sensible comment she does is that if you don't use all that capacity that's given to you it is just like you don't have it so that's why she wants to study all that stuff. Her family didn't realize about her intelligence until recent years, when she started to show an intellectual giftedness.

Here there's the video of the new so you can meet Neha.
