I don't have much to explain today. I went skiing with Maxim, Olivier (his twin brother)and his father. It was amazing! I only fell down twice but the second time was embarrassing.
After the skiing we went to Calvin's house. We didn't stay for long in there because we went to the beach. It was beautiful because we could see the sunset and we took lots of pictures.
Tomorrow is the last day and I don't want to think about it. It makes me feel really sad, I don't want to leave Holland :'(

09/04/11- Fourth Day
On Saturday I had a lot of fun! We went to paintball in the morning. There were lots of boys but only 4 girls: Joana, Joanita, Irene and I. I enjoyed it a lot but I think I didn't hit anyone, I'm really bad at shooting!
In the afternoon we had chinese food and I think it's delicious. I had never eaten it before. After that, Maxim's father took us to a beach in the river. There were cows nest to the water and it was really nice. The beach was cute and I laughed a lot with the girls. Miriam had a good day and she was really funny! We stayed there until Wessel arrived with his wonderful boat and then we went to Emmely's house. Her family had prepared a BBQ for us with sausages and hamburgers. We also burned some marshmallow's but I didn't like them. Something really funny happened at the party. Emmely's got a swimming pool, but it was covered by a dark cloth. Xavi and Roger wanted to cross the garden but they didn't realize about the swimming pool, so they got wet xd hahahaha
We left the party at half past one and we got home at 2, so you can imagine why I didn't write in my blog yesterday. I was too tired for it.

08/04/11- Third Day, Amsterdam
I haven't written anything for two days but that's because I've been really busy! We went to Amsterdam on Friday. We visited Anne Frank's museum, the Ricksmuseum and we took a canal tour. I enjoyed the three activities but I would have liked visiting more things and walking around the city. Anne Frank's house is really small and I think they could have added some forniture to figure out how was it when The Franks and The Van Pels were in hiding. In fact, all you do is walk from an empty room to another. I thionk it's nice because you can imagine how was life in there during the World War II but it could be much better. I loved the Ricksmuseum, nothing to object. I'm really interested in art and I'm glad that we went there. I saw some amazing paintings. Some of them are hudge but you can distinguish every single hair in it. I can't understand how could people do that! After that, we ate at McDonald's and we had a nice time in the boat. By the way, I think that souvenirs are too expensive in Holland and I'm disapointed because I didn't find any cool sweater for me. On the other hand, as I haven't spent much money here, I'll be able to go shopping when I get to Barcelona.
At night we went to a party at Thom's house. I had a great fun (with no alcohol and no weed) but there were several people who cried during the party. I think the best sentence to describe it is "La primavera la sangre altera". No need to add anything.
After the party I had to cycle home and I think that I caught a cold.

07/04/11 - Second Day
I had a lot of fun today but I've just got home and I'm absolutely exhausted. I got up at 6:45 and several funny things happened to me. When I was peeing, one of Maxims' cats put its head INSIDE the toilet and I was kind of worried. I didn't want to me remembered as the Spanish girl who killed the cat, so I just took it out. After that, I almost fell down the stairs and it was really embarrassing.
At school we recorded the interview I had told you about and we made a poster about Europe. We also learnt some dutch and it was really funny. Our partners had prepared a dialoge for us and we had to perform it in front of the whole class. After that, we taught them the same dialoge in catalan.
In the afternoon some of us took the tram to Utrecht and we went shopping. I didn't buy anything but a bracelet because I didn't took much money with me. Tomorrow we are going to Amsterdam so I think that I will buy the souvenirs then. Finally, at night (around 8), we went to an indoor swimming pool. It was amazing!!!!!! It had a slide.
I'm sorry but I'm falling asleep, I really need togo to bed. Byee! :D
Papa, Tata i Mama: Avui no hem tingut contacte pero espero que aneu llegint aixo per enterar-vos de com em va. Em fan un mal horroros les cames pero tinc moltes coses per explicar.

Bueno xurries men vaig a dormir que no m'aguanto. Un petonassu guapetons!! CHUCUPAAAAx1000000

06/04/11-First Day
Today it has been my first day in Holland and it's been amazing but pretty tiring.
I woke up at 2:45am, after only 2 hours of sleeping. The flight took off at 6:45 and we got there at 9 o'clock. We arrived at Cals around 11. We did some oral activities with our dutch partners in the morning. We saw a video and we prepared a conversation we'll have to record tomorrow.We left school at 1:30pm and Maxim's mother picked us up. I get on really well with her and she invited me to have a delicious apple and pear milkshake :)After that, I left my suitcase at home and we cycled to the river with Anna, Tessa, Roger, Wessel, Marc, Martijn, Bill, Guillermo, Oscar, Thom, Albert and Tjeerd. We had an ice-cream and we cycled back to home. I met the rest of the family and we had dinner (around 6pm). We had garlic potatoes, vegetables (pepper, broccoli,leak...), potatoes with mushrooms and sauce and chicken covered by cheese.
I enjoyed a lot my first day in Holland. I love it! Everything is beautiful and the houses are really cute. I like it too because everything is calm, there aren't many cars and people on the streets, so you can hear the birds singing. By the way, there aren't any pigeons here, just some ducks and swans.
I'm exhausted now so I'm going to bed. More tomorrow!
Mama, Papa i Tata: Em costa escriure amb aquest teclat perque ho te tot canviat de lloc i li falten lletres. Al final, no m'he menjat cap dels dos entrepans. Nomes algunes galetes i el cafe que m'ha sentat malament. Ara ja estic bé. He menjat un gelat de sindria, una poma i moltes verdures d'aquestes que no menjo a casa (ni menjare quan torni). La familia es molt agradable i els bessons identics. Hi ha quatre gats a la casa i el llit es enorme! Molts petonets, us estimo!
PD: Me'n vaig a dormir a les 9, avui no us queixareu, eh? ;)CHUCUPAAAA!!

I'm sorry but I won't write a lot today. It's almost 10 pm. I have to wake up in 5 hours and I haven't even finished packing my suitcase.
I'm really nervous. Today, I've talked to Maxim. He asked me about what do I want to do when I get to Holland. I had to choose between snowboarding, skiing or waterskiing on sunday and between sailing or going paintball on Saturday morning. It really surprised me! It sounds great. I mean... I don't even do these kind of activities when I'm in Barcelona so I'm sure I'll have a great fun.
I'm longing to see lots of other dutch partners too: Wessel, Yvonne, Iris, Joyce, Lars, Thom, Ai Xi... I've missed them so much!!
Time to sleep now! Talk to you tomorrow :D

Hi!I only write this entry to try if I can paste a video in my blog, because I've tried it several times and I haven't been able to do it.
The song I'm going to show you today is called "Old friends - Simon & Garfunkel". It's one of my favourite songs of this duo. It talks about loneliness of old people but I think it also reflects the realtionship between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. they had been great friends, but they had to give space to each other in the end. My favourite part of the song is the ending which, in fact, is the Bookends theme. I hope you like it!

Hello, I'm back. I know that I haven't written anything for a month but it's hard to start again after holidays! Now, I've got lots of things to explain. I will start talking about the most important of all: the exchange :) We started talking to our partners about 2 weeks ago and all of them are really nice. My parter is called Maxim. We've only spoken 3 or 4 times but I know he likes music very much and he plays the bass and the guitar. I'm lucky because he lives near his school (about 15 minutes cycling) , so I won't arrive tired in the morning! I'm looking forward to his visit. I want to be a good partner. I can't stop thinking about activities we can do when Maxim comes over here. I hope he likes Barcelona :)
I also want to talk about music. I've recently discovered the band "Blur" and I'm hooked on its songs. I like very much the song "No distance left to run", I think it's sad but beutiful. I also like the alternative band "Arcade fire". I've been listening to them for some months and I really like their music, but yesterday I also saw one of their videos ("The suburbs") and it amazed me! I uploaded it to facebook, so it's possible that you've already seen it. This song bring tears to my eyes at every listen, and so does the video. You see how a group of teenagers who had grown up in the suburbs start having problems in their lifes. I think it must be hard to be in their situation.
To end this post I want to say that I'm very disapointed because Gong (Glories's music shop) is closing forever. I used to buy music and films at least twice a month there, and from now on I'll have to go to fnac or to the centre of Barcelona.
I'll write again soon. Byee!! :D
