My school year

This year has been one of the most complicated of my life, but one of the best too. At school my marks have improved and now are very good. I have some new subjects like physics, biology,education for citizenship, creativity and french, and some new things to do in the subjects: in english and in social studies, we go to a computer room and there we have done blog entries and some projects, in creativity we have painted pictures and learned painting techniques... All the subjects are really more complicated but funnier too.

This year I've also met many new people, people that I'll never can´t forget, I've changed my mind and I decided important things in my future like my shool or my career. Last year I thought I was going to be an architect, but this year I haven't clear, because there are other things I like. I have some problems too, but I solved it with my friend's help.

I hope next year will be as great as this :)

Avril Lavigne: When you're gone


I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you


Siempre necesite tiempo para mi
Nunca pensé necesitarte cuando llorara
Y los días se sienten como años cuando estoy sola
Y la cama donde te acuestas
Esta tendida de tu lado

Cuando te alejas de mí
Cuento los pasos que das
¿Ves lo mucho que te necesito ahora?


Cuando te vas
Los pedazos de mi corazón te extrañan
Cuando te va
La cara que conocí también falta
Cuando te vas
Todas las palabras que siempre necesito escuchar para superar el día
Y hacerlo bien
Te extraño


Nunca antes me sentí de esta forma
Todo lo que hago
Me recuerda a ti
Y la ropa que dejaste
Esta tirada en el piso
Y huele a ti
Amo las cosas que haces

Cuando te vas
Cuento los pasos que das
¿Ves lo mucho que te necesito ahora?

Cuando te vas
Los pedazos de mi corazón te extrañan
Cuando te vas
La cara que conocí también falta
Cuando te vas
Todas las palabras que siempre necesito escuchar para superar el día
Y hacerlo bien
Te extraño

Fuimos hechos el uno para el otro
Aquí para siempre
Yo se que así fue

Todo lo que yo siempre quise que tú supieras
Que en todo lo que hago doy mi corazón y mi alma
Apenas puedo respirar
Necesito sentirme aquí conmigo

Cuando te vas
Los pedazos de mi corazón te extrañan
Cuando te vas
La cara que conocí también falta
Cuando te vas
Todas las palabras que siempre necesito escuchar para superar el día
Y hacerlo bien
Te extraño

When Paula is leaving the coffe shop too, Angel appears.For an interview with Katia, a pretty trendy singer, he can´t arrive before. She has her bag of Powerpuff Girls and a he a rose.After a walk in the park, they kiss for the first time.

Paul adds Alex to her messenger and start talking with him. Discover that he plays the saxophone. But that's not all he is also a writer and has “the most world’s romantic idea" to show his book: distribute booklets to the first chapters of "After the Wall" in special places where people can find they. Paula,that doesn’t know nothing, decides to stay with him in the same Starbuck when they meet for the first timw. Together spend a fantastic evening.

Also are Katia, that, since his interview with Angel is beganning to think in he, and for meet him better, get his phone and invites him to a photo shoot. In that, she kiss him and then invited him to take a drink, but Angel gets drunk and she must to take he at her home; Mario, Miriam’s brother, who everyone thinks he loves Diana, but in fact it is falling in love for Paula, her best friend, and he want to confess everything that he feels; and Irene, Alex’s stepsister who come to the city to study a course of three months, but in reality, wants to win to his stepbrother .

During the following days, Mario, depressed, doesn’t go to class, lost the exam and locks himself in his room even Paula's surprise party, just a day before his birthday. In that party, Diana goes to his room and together watch movies.

Angel and Paula lived many moments during that intense month of March, as the branch of roses that Angel sent to Paula´s class, the time in a soundproof room, the swim in the pool, a breakfast with churros... So Paula want to have her first time with him. But they feel bad because both have got another person in their life: Paula has got to Alex and Angel to Katia.

But the birthday party is the most decisive moment because Katia and Alex are ready to say what they feel, despite knowing that Paula and Angel are together. Angel decided quickly he wants to Paula, but when Alex confesses to Paula what he feels, the answer is slow in coming, because she is confused, but finally says she loves Angel without knows if it is true or not.

Katia and Alex leaves the party sadly, while Paula and Angel went to a hotel room, for had their first sexual relation, but Paula is so nervous and tells Angel needs to think.

When I travel to Paris



In 2005 I went a Paris with my parents and my sister.It was my first travel and I was very nervous. First we went on the AVE from Seville to Madrid and before we took a plane to the Charles de Gaulle airport. On the plane I was listening to music while my sister was sleeping. When we arrived we took a taxi to the hotel that was very near to the Eiffel Tower.



Next days we visited the city. It was an amazing place and ate at a restaurant in the center. While we were having dessert, my father went to buy postcards. We also visited the Louvre, where we saw wonderful paintings as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo DaVinci, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the triumphal arch and of course the Eiffel Tower. From it was there a fantastic view of the city and Elysian fields.




But what I liked most were the days in disneyland. We ride in many attractions, visited the house of Minnie, took pictures with Mickey, Donald Duck, Pluto, Daisy and took autographs of them all.





At nights we saw the castle of the princess, fireworks and the great parade. I did't want to came back again because it was the best trip of my life! Seven days passed soon and I'm looking forward.
