Summertime

     Hi there everyone! Yes, it's been more than two weeks, but I'm finally back! These two weeks have been quite...irregular. Most of Spain and some parts of Europe are suffering one of the longest and more difficult warm waves in the last years. Since the second half of June (20s more or less), temperatures  have too high. Here, every day, each and every day, maximum temperatures are no lower than 35º, whereas minimum temperatures change sometimes, though most of the nights we have around 27º, even 30º. It is horrible, trust me. 

     It is so difficult to rest and have some good sleep. You feel tired the whole day, you can't concentrate enough, and the only thing you want to do is to take 4 showers a day. I hate summer, and this is the main reason. My plan for this summer was to start running in the evenings, but it is actually impossible. The only sport I can do is to swim a little in the swimming pool my aunt's owns. Though it is not enough. Oh lord, I wish this horrible heat will dissapear as soon as possible!

     I'm thinking about being a home-teacher this year. I've thought about it these past three years, but I think this is the right time to do it: I'm almost graduated (yeah, I failed again), I will have more time to prepare it, it will be a new and good experience and...yes, I need money. I'm old enough, and I think I should start doing money for myself, and even in order to help my parents sometimes. 

     Hmm, what else? Oh yeah! Two weeks left to London and Dublin!


See all of you soon, I will write here more often, I promise!

Retake

     Good afternoon you all! Sorry for my absence in here, but I have been quite busy these days. In my University, retakes exams take place just two weeks after final second semester exams, so...I have to study! Furthermore, it is my final (4th) year, and I can't wait to finish at last!
     Today, I had the great news that I passed my History of English Language retake exam, which I took last Thursday. It seems that last time, I trust in myself too much, but now the results are great! It is one of the most difficult courses in the whole career, and I like it so much, so I feel very very glad. Imagine studying the history of a language, all its most important changes, in only 3 and a half months; too much work, yeah. Someday I will talk about it for sure, it is really interesting to know how English has changed through its history. 
     Next Wednesday, I have to retake the most difficult exam I had in the whole career: Modelos de Análisis Gramatical del Inglés (Grammatical Analysis Models of English or something like that). It is about different theories of how English grammar works and how to classify it. More or less. I'll talk about it too later on so you can see what I mean. I have studied Chomsky, Bloomfield, Saussure, Traditionalism, Structuralism, Generativism and Systemic Functional Grammar. This course is from 3rd grade, so I had to re-enroll in it this year again (and pay more, of course). The only thing I want now is to pass it, and if possible, with a great grade!
     In conclusion, I will write again here when I have enough time and inspiration, see you!  :)
