Hi everybody,

Today I'm not very happy. My head is about to explote. I have to study a lot and I'm very tired, but luckily we have some holidays next week. Do you think that it's obvious doing all the exams in one week???? In my opinion, NO. Well, have you ever heard something about "Patrician III". For me, is one of the best computer games. You are a little comerciant who has to be the governor of the Baltic Sea. It's interesting because you have to be the mayor of your town, destroy pirates, and made your own life in the game. Good argument, good battles, but no good graphics. Well, this is a picture of the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi everybody. Have you ever heard something about "The Almogàvers"? Well, they were the best medieval army that the world have ever seen. This is a little legend of them.
It is explained that during the campaign of Sicília, a Medieval Soldier fell captive of the Francs and, this intrigued by the fame that the medieval soldiers already had, was brought in front of the king who propoded a deal to the warrior. The medieval soldier would confront, each one with their arms, in a duel with the best of his knights to death. And if he won would let him go free.The Medieval Soldier accepted without doubting it. And like this his arms was seen with his lance and his dagger in front of the best knight of the francs, with all his armor, and ridden on his horse.The Catalan separated sufficiently in front of the french knight and waited that the Knight attacked, then, the warrior nailed the lance at the chest of the horse, which, badly hurt, fell down depressed, knight and armor rolled for the floor, however, advance that the franc could react, the medieval soldier had already jumped him above, he took off the helmet and he was about to cut the Knight's neck with the dagger when the franc king commanded that he was free, but asked the warrior not to kill the best of his men.
Well, I hope that you like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody!!!!!!
The play that I saw yesterday was very good. The company called "Qui porta la turja a menar" is a comedy,We will know of a breeder of the authentic "Catalan pig", who neither pays and who don't want to lose the one that he has. A landlady who does not charge and wants to achieve the one that she does not have. A postman who does not work and sons he thinks like not still being making prayer. Also and in an exaggerated way, this silly thing is useful for denouncing some facts of estate exploitation, which have affected the Catalan peasantry.
The play was represented in Vilamalla, a little town nearly Figueres. I recomended see this play because you laugh a lot and explanis the real life of the catalan farmers.

Hi everybody,

some weeks ago, I went to the cinema wiht my friends to see Saw III. It was a great film!!!!!! What type of film do you enjoy?????? I prefer historical films, like "Stalingrado" or "El Reino de los cielos". When I was younger I used to go to the cinema with my father, but now I go it with my friends. The best film that I've seen was Ocean's eleven. A group of thieves have to rob 2 casinos at the same time. I enjoyed it a lot. I recomend seeing that film. It's incredible!!!

On thursday I did a exchange with some French students. It was very good, because nobody understood nothing that they were saying. First we met in front of the high school. We visited some important monuments of Castelló and after, we went to Aiguamolls de l'Empordà. We had lunch in the pizzeria "Dolce Vita" and in the afternoon, they went to France. Now I'm waiting for the 19th of December, because we will go to France!!

The terrorific night: Halloween

Yesterday night (31 october) I did with some friends a terrorific passage in an ancient cinema, near "Aires Nous" (a bar of Castlló). It was very funny and I scared a lot of people. I was hided behind a cupboard and when someone passed I scared and shouted. Many people started running. But unfortunately that night Baça played vs Chelsea and a lot of pople stayed at home and didn't go to the passage.
