SP

My best friend since fourth grade came to visit for four days. It wasn’t till I saw her that I realized how much I had missed her. Of course we still skyped ever since she left, which was a year ago, so she hasn’t missed much ever since. On Friday May 26, 2011, which was when she came to visit, she stayed at my house, and we talked about everything we could think of, we saw movies, and we took pictures. The next day we went to a party, and slepped over a friends house, and then on Sunday we went to another friend’s house, watched a movie, talked, ate and hanged out until 8:30pm which was when I took her to her hotel. However I didn’t know that, that was the last time I was going to see her after she went back home. We both thought we were going to see each other again one last time, but unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to. So now I’m missing her more than ever, since I didn’t have the chance to say good bye to her before she left. Hopefully she’ll come and visit again, or I’ll go visit her, since although its been a year since she last moved I can’t stand not seeing her anymore, and not being able to tell her my problems face to face.

Soul Surfer

Last weekend, on Sunday my friends and I hanged out and watched a movie called, Soul Surfer. It was about a girl who, ever since she was born loved the sea and wanted to become a professional surfer, since her parents, both of them, were great surfers. However over the years she accomplished her goal. Except for one day while she was with her friends, surfing, a shark ate her whole arm. At first she didn’t react to it, and didn’t mind missing an arm. But then she realized how important it was, and how challenging it became to surf. Therefor with practice she was able to make the challenge a daily routine, and learn how to live/surf with it. However, after watching this movie I felt the need to be great full for everything I had, since I’m the type of girl who doesn’t realize that there are many people out there who suffer for unimaginable things. I guess this movie and many movies exist to open our eyes and make us realize the importance of being able to live happy and learn from our mistakes, and be great full for the life you have.

Life Cycle

Wow it’s almost been a year, since the last time I saw my grandma and two years since I last saw my uncle. 2009-2010 were very intense summers, vacations, moments, and memories. I remember 2009 when my uncle ended up in the hospital and passed away on June 5^th the last week of school and then the year after, June 14 2010 while my parents, my sister and I were already in los Roques during vacation which were staying only for one night, we receive a call from my uncle saying my grandma had passed away. I had never gone through those sorts of moments in which you see everybody in your family sad, depressed, and laconic, but worst of all, happening two years in a row. I definitely wouldn’t want that to happen this year or the next or any time soon. I know someday we will all leave and go to a better place/paradise but for now I think it’s better to stay in planet earth. There are times when I wonder why it had to happen? Or at least why two times in a row? And why to the people I love? I wish I could at least see them once in a while so I don’t have the feeling that I’m going to forget them or that they are with me. I guess there is no way of controlling the way life is, and the way the life cycle works. 

Goodbye ninth grade Hello tenth grade

As the days go by, summer approaches. I can’t believe how my freshman year flew by so fast. Luckily we aren’t “planktons” anymore, like our ancient civ. Teacher would call us, and tell us we were on the bottom of the food chain. Now we are sophomores which make us a bit more special. Although I should be happy summer is coming in almost a week I don’t want school to end. I guess that being a freshman wasn’t that bad since the spotlight was always on us, and my grade became much closer. Also many of my closest friends are leaving, and I don’t think I can handle their goodbye on the last day of school; just thinking we might not see each other again makes me want to return to the beginning of ninth grade. Nevertheless the job of an international school is for people to come and go, although A LOT of my classmates and students will leave in almost a week hopefully in 10^th grade many people will come, and fill in the empty spaces. However another reason why I don’t want school to end is because finals are going to happen the last week of school. I remember that in middle school and in elementary the last week of school was fun, there was no homework, no tests, no projects, and no nothing. But once you reach high school the real work begins, dead week and finals. Sometimes I just wish time could go a bit slower.
