What I have been doing... (or not)

I know this term I have been away. Sometimes I think "today I will read this pages of this book, I will write a learning journal, I will study this lesson..." but when the time comes I just act lazy, surf in the internet or just go to sleep, leaving all the work for the next day, but in the other day the same thing happens, and so on... I really do not know why this happens, but I often have this phases, especially since I came to this school.

Now, I know it's too late to start working, but I am completely aware of what I've done and what I haven't done.

Reading Project...

My reading project was a complete faillure. Actually I never liked reading, the only books I've ever read (and those ones after watching the respectives movies) are The Twilight series and Harry Potter (not the whole yet), as you can see, stories that involve a wide range of fantasy and creativity.

I also know that you had told me not to read Kramer vs. Kramer, but I'm really stubborn and once I make up my mind for something I just stop when I achieve that aim, even if it's written that it will fail.

So, I am aware that my presentation was not a presentation, neither something similar and it's also true that I did not want to repeat it - I really did not like the book. You can call it laziness, not being worried about the marks or whatever... It was my decision , unfortunately the wrong one, but now it's taken...

Surprise...

This year I celebrated my eighteenth birthday, more precisely on the 5th of May. Actually I'm not like the people who like to make grand parties, especially on such dates as the 18th birthday. So this year I just planned (forced) to have a dinner with some friends of my parents and their children that are of my age. I was not really in the mood for any party, but I really enjoyed it. Of course I knew the people, we are friends since I was born, so I was aware that they are nice people.

But my surprise was when Cátia (hope you remember her) invited me to sleep in her house on the 7th of May. Never did I suspect what was she planning (with some other friends of mine outside school). So, on Friday I went to her house with all my things expecting that we would spent the whole night talking and watching movies and stuff like that. But no! At dinner time, she told me that we had to go to her sisters' house to fetch something, so I went with her. When we got to Parque das Nações, we were walking towards a restaurant (neither at this time I was getting her idea), then I saw a friend of mine and Ricardo - who do not know each other - sitting in the same table with Inês and Vanessa, increadibly or not, I sitll hadn't understand what was going on, only when they gave me the present and sang the Happy Birthday song did I understand it was a surprise party organized by Cátia.

A New Way of Getting to School

Since the beginning of May I’ve been coming to school in a different transport. Try to take a guess... will it be...
- By car?
- By motorcycle?
- On foot?
No. Wrong guesses. Sorry! I was eighteen just in the beginning of last month, so it can’t be the car or the motorcycle. I could come on foot; however I would have to wake up really early, which is something quite impossible for me, my bed is really comfortable and my house is not that near on foot of course.
Well, I’ll kill your curiosity, the mean I have been using is the bicycle. I do not need any license to ride it, I do not pollute the atmosphere and the best part of it is that I burn calories, which is awesome. Also, in this mean, I get faster to school and enjoy much more the journey.
