.·::·.((The Convivence)).·::·.

Don’t you like to remember what happened in that moment when you are looking at a photo? I always do. Each year in my school we go to a convivence in the North zone where we do some activities that help us unify into a group and tolerate ourselves. I really love when we go to the convivences because we learn so many things that will help us in life. I remember that in the convivence of sixth grade I was with all my group of friends doing the activities. At first I was a little bit shy of doing the activities with every body watching me, but after I was very confident. In the third activity we where having a lot of difficulties, you had to jump a rope very fast. If you lost, everybody had to start all over again. We where having a lot of fun but we needed to hurry up because if we took too much time we couldn’t do the other activities. I was very enthusiasm with all of this.

We decided to put a lot of effort so we could do it fast enough. Finally we all did it except for Nohora who tried to do it and she failed. I felt so sorry for her because every body was yelling and blaming her because now every body had to do it again. This time we had nohora and the persons who weren’t so good at it first, after those persons the ones who had more facilities did it. Finally we all made it. Yeahi! We passed. Later we moved on to the other activity.

The next activity was very difficult. We took a lot of time passing through a stick with our eyes covered. You could have a partner to guide you. If you failed every body had to start all over again. This was a very difficult task that teached us how to trust other persons. We enthusiastically decided to start. But the first five persons lost. Now every body was scared to fail. Finally the first person passed and many others did the same.

Everyone passed the first round and every thing was very well. Now the new task was to walk by the stick backwards, with our eyes covered, and obviously you could have a partner to guide you. We put the persons who didn’t do it so well first and then the others would follow. This round was completed but the next activity was very difficult too. We had to pass through the stick knelled down with our eyes covered, you could use a guide. It was a very difficult task and we were taking a lot of time. As in all the other tasks I was very nervous and scared, I really could have harmed myself.

We used the same method that we used for the other tasks to pass this one. Finally everyone had passed except for Juan Manuel. He was good at it so we thought that he could pass with ought any problem, anyway he didn’t. Now we had to start again! We took a lot of time but finally we did it, we made it through all the activities we were so proud of ourselves. I thought that the convivence was very difficult but at the same time it teaches us many things that right now we are putting all of those great things in practice. If it wasn’t for the convivence I would have been another person or at least very different from what I am right now.

Lost In Island of Adventure

"We are going to Orlando, We are going to Orlando" said Vanessa enthusiastically.

"your acting like If you hadn't gone before!"Said Cherry with a prissy voice. This was the first time we were going to Orlando all by ourselves, my sisters and I where very happy except for Cherry that wanted to look very madure but we definitly new she was more excited than us.

"Ok now we need to get some sleep" said Monica with a smartty voice and all four of the Baker sisters agreed.

"Tomorrow will be flying to Orlando!"Vanessa yelled.

"Be quiet" said Cherry.

The next day we woked up very early in the morning because the airplane will leave at nine O'clock and we had to be in the airport at seven. Vanessa and Cherry were fighting as always for a jacket they both wanted to wear.

"Come on girls,don't figh. Said Monica.

"All right you can have it"Vanessa said.

after breakfast the girls went to the iarport. At eleven thirty they where already in orlando waiting for Aunt Rebecca.Aunt Rebecca lives there and she knows where are the coolest adventure parks.
“Ok lets go” she said.

We went to aunt Rebecca’s house had lunch changed our clothes and headed up to island of adventure in Universal studios. Aunt Rebecca was going to leave us there and then at 6:30 she would peak us up.

“Girls be careful and don’t separate you might get lost all right?” she said.

The first thing we did when we got there was to put a meeting place so if anybody got lost we will all meet there.

“All right lets go to Hulk” Vanessa said happily.

We all agreed. Hulk was one of the coolest attractions in the park. After the long line and the ride we headed up to Spiderman this ride wasn’t as cool as Hulk but it was very nice to and it had a long line as well. Then we got to dully dragons a very tall ride and it was very famous. Because of this the line was very big and as always cherry as complaining.

“Iam not going to do that line, plus don’t really feel like going into this ride.” She said.

“Yeah me too I don’t want to go in it!” said Monica

But Cherry and I really wanted to go into this ride so we decided to separate.

“I’ll go with Monica to another ride wile you and Vanessa go into dully dragons.”

“Ok” Vanessa and I both agreed.

We decided to meet at the meeting point after forty-five minutes. Vanessa and I made the line and got into the ride we were screaming like crazy people we were having a lot of fun. When we got off we had still five minutes before the time we were going to meet but we decided to go at that time. In the meeting point Vanessa and I waited twenty minutes and Monica and Cherry wouldn’t come.

“What are they doing?” asked Vanessa with a nervous voice.

“Maybe there ride hasn’t finished yet lets wait ten minutes more” I said.

After ten minutes the girls were not there yet. Vanessa and I waited five minutes before we decided to go and for them.

“Ok lets go first to the place at wich we separated” said Vanessa

We got there and we didn’t see them. Vanessa now sounded really nervous. Vanmessa and I looked for them every were and finally we saw two girls with the same clothes as them very far away. We run to see if it was them and they were but a man was steeling all there belongings. Before we got so close we called a security guy and he stopped the guy and gave all of Cherry’s and Monica’s belongings back, they were crying and scared.

After that we decided to forget of what had happened and we went into several rides before it was six thirty. At six thirty aunt Rebecca peaked us up and took us to her house.

“Auntie you’ll never believe what happened to Cherry and Monica!” said Vanessa.

I pushed her and whispered “She will scold us if we tell her that we separated!”

“Ok it will be are little secret” Said Vanessa and we all agreed.

“So what happened to Cherry and Monica?” Asked aunt Rebecca.

“A-mmmm… they, they” Said Vanessa

“Got free pizza!” exclaimed Cherry.

“Ohh It seems like if you girls had a lot of fun” Said Aunt Rebecca.

When we got to the house we where so sleepy that we got our pajama’s on and went to sleep.
“Good night to all” I said to everybody.

I think that they might have been slept already because anybody answered back! Well I don’t blame them I slept five minutes later!

((--A Nightmare Holiday--))

In saint week my family and I were going to 1) Bogotá, Medellin, and Barranquilla. We had to take a long route in car so we were 2) uncomfortable, sleepy, and hungry.Later I had a better time with my familie.3) I played with my mom, I sang, and I saw the beautiful landscapes. When we got to Barranquilla 4) it was raining, the electricity went off, and everything was a disaster. 5) While my family decided what to do, I got an idea. My idea was that we should keep going to Bogotá and Medellin and finally at the end of the trip we would come back. 6) In the way, I noticed that we weren't that entusiaced to go to Barranquilla because we go almost all the weekends. 7) Yes, we are very lucky because my father decide that we were not going anywhere! He said that the next vacations we would go but in airplane because this was crazy. Sitting in my car, I remembered every thing and I laughed and thought, this is like a nightmare.

.:::We Have School Tomorrow!!.::::

On Thursday I had to do many things, I had to finish a computer project, Art History classes, and tennis classes. I was so stressed and I couldn’t waist any time or else I wouldn’t have time to do anything. At three o’clock I had to be on Paulina’s house to finish the computer project after we would go to tennis classes and then I would have to go to my Art history classes but my mother told me that I didn’t have to go so I was not going. Paulina and me were almost finished with the project when it was time to go to tennis classes, paulina was in tennis classes as well so we were going together.

In tennis classes everything was going bad I was loosing all the games, I love to play tennis but sometimes I just can’t play good enough. That makes me feel impotent. At the end of tennis classes Paulina and I were waitig for Paulina’s mother to pick us up so we could finish the computer project.And sudenly a women asked us if we weren't going to the fashion show upstairs that she could give us the tickets In that moment I remembered that Margui was going to walk on the fashion show. Paulina and I accepted and she gave us the tickets. Paulina was little bit worried because we hadn’t finish the project and it was for tomorrow, so she decided to call her mother to pick us up. When her mother picked us she told Paulina that she had to go to a dance or something like that. Paulina told me that she could finish it by herself, because there wasn’t much to do.

Later I received a call from Lisette, she remembered me that we had to pick up a friend (Mariana) on the air port. When she picked me up she told me that Mariana was already in Cartagena, she was eating with her father and sister in down town. We decided to go and say hi to her but the only problem was that it was very late; it was 9:00 P.M. I told Lisette that ¡WE HAD SCHOOL TOMORROW! She answered that it was going to be very quick so we got to the restaurant were she was and we said hi really quick and got back to our houses. When I got back a realize that I had to finish my home work I was so tired but after all I finished and went to bed. This was a really occupied day and I had a lot of fun.

Well, this is my post I hope you all like it bye!!!

[[--->Loving Cartagena<----]]


Cartagena is a beutifull city to come from vacations and to live in. The problem is that we have a corrupt goverment that does nothing else than steel the city's money. Cartagen has many poor people who don't have were to go when they are sick because Cartagena has almost no hospitals. Although, Cartagena has great things as well, such as the murallas, The beaches, and it's down town.

I think that the people of Cartagena needs more education because if people do not studie they will have less oportunitys to work and if people don't have work they don't have money. I love Cartagena thats why every time that I hear that the governors are doing things not right it hearts me. I've heard that they are going to make a new transportation system that may sink the murallas. I think that is a stupid thing because I prefer to have the murallas than another transportation system, but Cartagena is growing as a city as well. Many things are happening here as the "juegos Centro Americanos y del Caribe" that already happened, the next MTV music awards are going to be here, and there are famous actors filming a movie! I think thats wasome, this events make me proud of being Cartagenera.

As the days, months, and years pass by Cartagena will grow more and will deteriorate more, but it will always be my city and I will love it forever.

Well, this is my post and I think that many people thinks as well as me and I hope you like it.

Dandraft

I have many problems in my life. I usually deal with them by talking and making solutions to that problem with the person. I don't fight physically except with my sister, we always fight and hit ourselves that is because she is very mean to me. Some times when I am trying to solve a problem I usually yell to people things like; shut up or be silent and tell them things that are not appropriate, that is something not good at all. I think that I might have to change that bad habit. When I am under pressure I usually say things that I wouldn't say or things with what I do not agree, like you're a bad student and I am not and physical defects things that maybe will really heart people.

One of the greatest problems that I've had was when I was in sixth grade. We were in school (P.E) and a friend had a little bit of dandruff in her hair. I thought it was going to be better if I told her to take it away than if all the people in the school saw that she had dandruff. My friends and I were sitting while it was our turn to play and I told her " Hey you have a little bit of dandruff on your hair take it away". I think my friends thought that I've said it to loud and they started telling me why I've had to be so mean and things like that, they were all over me and criticizing me I felt very bad I wanted to cry. I tried to be strong and not to cry but my tears came out and I run away. One of my best friends went after me to consoled me but I was feeling very bad and I couldn't stop crying. Later I apologized to my friend and all the others apologized me. I felt much more better and I stop crying. After all I learned how to manage my problems and from that day I now who are my true friends.
