Matilde Ladeira Week 8

-

Sunday! I finally visited my grandparents. When I arrived, I had to take my shoes off and I also washed my hands with alcohol-gel. I had to put a mask to be near my grandmother, as she has many health problems. One of those is a lung condition and so we have to be very careful.

We came back home on the same day. When we were leaving, my cousin called me to tell me that there was a big storm where we live: rain, wind, thunder and lightning. 

When I arrived to my village, the streets, the fields and the gardens were full of ice balls. I thought about my garden. When we arrived home, we saw that it was completely white. Almost everything we were growing in the garden was destroyed: lettuce, cabbages, broccoli, onions, tomato, pumpkins, blueberries and other fruits. Many flowers and plants were also destroyed. The blinds seemed to have been shot because of the round spots made by the ice balls. Inside the house, there was a lot of water on the floor of the laundry room due to all the ice that started to melt on the roof and came in through the walls.

The ice was only completely melted on Tuesday morning. This was really a strange experience.

Heyyyy guys!! I can’t believe that this is my last day in the 10th grade..this school year passed so quickly but at the same time so slowly.. At the beginning of the year I met new people and made new friends, I had new subjects and I felt a big difference compared to other years. I think that I worked hard to achieve my goals and I also felt some pressure coming from myself to achieve them, but what is life without any pressure or adrenaline? Anyway I’m proud of myself as well as of the people around me, which makes me very happy and grateful for everything I’ve been through. My friends, family and teachers supported me a lot this school year, so it also helped me when I was sad or when something hadn’t worked out for me. It was a mix of emotions from September until now and I’m relieved to know that the school year is over, but I’m also sad because I couldn’t say goodbye to my friends and teachers personally, like I always do.   I really enjoyed sharing my weekly...

Diana Sousa Week 10

Hello!!!       I hope everyone is okay! In this text, I will not talk about my week, I will talk about this school year. It all started when I joined a new class, where I barely knew anyone, where I was seen as "the one who comes from the problematic class". All of these factors did not favor me and prevented the approach and adaptation to the new class. I went through this difficult phase, but it was worth it, because in the end I ended up meeting incredible people who are always ready to help, but there are still hose I don't know or at least I don't speak to very often, which for me is a little strange, because despite coming from a class full of problems, it was in this class that I felt good, where we all talked, we were all together, everyone knew each other and this is for me the true meaning of "class". The fact that I don't feel truly adapted to this new group makes me a little uncomfortable, confused and sad but each one is as he/she is...

Hello, friends! How are you? This week I had a lot of work! Believe me… I had a Biology assignment to prepare and I lost a lot of time just looking for information about my theme. But now, I think that it’s ready and I want to present it so as to get rid of it. Although I had a lot of work, I followed the NASA and Space X mission in the space because I’d  love to go to space and I’m curious about what’s the matter up there. Going to space isn't for everyone. Now at night, I usually spend half an hour on YouTube watching live what they do in space. It really catches my eye… I also ask myself a lot of questions about how they have oxygen up there for so much time, how they have food for a lot of months, etc. I’d really like to go to space… it’s a dream! However, this week I helped my mother baking a coffee cake and it almost got better than my dad's pies… He tried to compete with me and my mother doing a “Molotof” because when my mother does it, it always looks bad.
