Kayak day! :)

In the 1st of October I were to an excursion by kayak with the people that do rowing in Xon's Rem Empuriabrava. We could get the kayak all day and we could go from Llança to Port de la Selva.

During the rout we saw different coves, it was amazing but I reconize that I was scared. It was very dark!

It would be little boring if I say to you that we only rowed to Port de la Selva but it woud be a lie.

We rowed, we did races but it was only the begining. Then the seniors tried to over turn our kayak, luckly we got away but for a little time...

If I say that the seniors are twice the people we are and one of them is 2.15m tall and his arms are big and strong like my thighs, only for that you already know that they turned over our kayak. I was a big bad experience. We needed help!

Finally after a ot bad experience like it. We arrived on the beach, we ate a sandwich and returned to Llança. Do you think that it was more paceful than the journey there? No... we were more time under the water than in the kayak...

Luckly we come across to a friend with her yacht and she to pulled our kayaks. It was like doing water skiing but with kayak. I was a wonderful day.

Bad experiences but funny

Once I went to Madrid with my famlily and it snowed a lot, we spent the time trapped in the hotel. The snow was higher than the cars. Luckly our cars were in other site without snow. That night we went to the city, during the return it snowed so much and the police told us we had to leave the cars where they were. We were 20min walking to the hotel, the police took my cousin and me and they left us at the hotel but the rest of my family had walked until the hotel. It seems a bad experience but we laugh a lot every time that we think about that holidays.

Another time my family and I spent a weekend in Barcelona, because my cousin lived there. My aunt was ill and while we were in the Catalunya's square she had vomited in the bin. It isn't a funny experience but if I told you that in that square in front of my aunt there was a demostration and they said: It's smells here! it change?

My family are very funny and often live bad but funny experiences.

If I could be anyone, I would be...

If you ask Maria, she would say that I would be like a pig or seal ( it is a joke that we have) but I think that I would like to be Cesc Fabregas (but as a woman).

I think this because Cesc is a person that I admire. He is intelligent, friendly... but I admire him because since he was little he has fought for his objectives, like get into "La Masia" in FCB. Later when he was 17 he went out of the Barça to go to Arsenal, because he knew that i he went to the Arsenal he could improve his level and try a new experience. Finally when he wanted to return to FCB he fought another time of his objective. Now I'm very proud that he is in FCB another time because I'm a fan fo him.

I admire the fighter people because in a few time they get to become true their dreams. Fabregas is a big person he is a fighter and in my opinion that it's very important in our lifes.

I admire Cesc and I could live a experience with him that I will never forget. When he arrived in FCB I could go to the Camp Nou and see his presentation. It was so special for me.

MEMORIES

I remember my first day in INS Castelló d'Empúries I was dying with feat because in primary school the teachers mentaly prepare us that the high school is very difficult and hard but I told myself that it couldn't be that difficult and hard.

My firs day of ESO was ridiculous because I had gone in a class that I only know four teenagers. In that moment I was so sensitive and asked my teacher if I could change to another class with my friends. Why did everything happen to me?

When I could change to the other class I started my life in ESO.

Each year has had something special for me but I have waited for this year for 5 years. Even thaught I'm sure that I will never forgot these 4 years here. I will always remember the trip to Belgium in 1st of ESO, the skiing trip in 2nd , the day of St Jordi day in 3rd, the Playbakc and Musical in 4th and Italy.

Finally it has been funny and special.

CATALAN LEAGUE OF ROWING

Last summer was hard for me and my team, but finally we won the Catalan League of rowing.
I still remember the day that our trainer said: Do you want to win the league this year?
We looked at ourselves and then we answered: YES!
I thought that it would be difficult, but if we got it we would realize a dream.
Who wouldn´t want to win a league?

The pre-season was fantastic, we won the Catalan competition of ergometry and rowing in Palamós. Then we won the Catalan competition of rowing in Banyoles too but the luck didn't last for ever. In Port de la Selva the jury told us wrong distance,and so in the final when we were wining we did the distance that jury said but the real distance was the twice this amount.
The pre-season finished and then we trained a lot for the league.
The league started very well, we won the first competition in Blanes with 11s up. When the 2nd competition was due , on the final race we had a problem with a girl of our team and we were 2nd. That problem bad and it damaged the league. In my opinion the best solution was that the problematic girl couldn't row until her attitude improved. For bad luck no one supported me and the girl continued row.
Do you want know what happened?
We lost the next competition, and the other until in Deltebre where we ware first! It changed our mood and we were very funny.
It was a funny thing bad we had some bad news, we only had one competition to win the league.

The last competition arrived, the seniors won, the cadets won, and we...
WON TOO!
Unfortunately the problems in our team continued and the last Catalonia's competition when we were 1st, the problematic girl stopped rowing ( I don't know why) and the 2nd boat advance us in 20 lasts meters.

It has been a fantastic summer and league thanks to rowing!

COMPETITION OF ROWING !

That is a video of a rowing competition it appears a videoclip- In a rowing federation web. There are different videoclips for each competition and this song is special for my team because we won the league there, in Lloret de mar. During the year we go there two times. When these competitions get closer we are so nervous because we always lose there.
Finally in the last comptetition, we proved our level and that we can win when we set out to do it.
That video show the differents races of that day. The race is different for each category, for cadet's category the race lasts about 3 minutes and is 500m longer, the race of juvenil's category lasts 5-6 minutes and is 1km longer like veteran's cateogry and finally the senior's category lasts 7-8 minutes and is 1,5 km longer. It can seems that it is short but rowing is an explosive sport and requires a lot of energy in a short time.

My summer job

Last summer I worked in a summer camp. I was the instructor of P4 (children are 4 or 5 years old). I think that it would be tired and heavy but it was the opossite, It was wonderful. When I arrived every morning all children hug me and they made be happy to see me. The first week was a little difficult, I didn't know that I had done because I didn't know the children but They make know so fast. I organized activities for them with Jofre, Jordi , Núria and Maria (the others instructors of P4) . We created a story and intruduced the children into that. Was struck me most was the fondnees that I have to them. The love of the children every day it's wonderful, Everyday they have a smiling and a hug for you, only for that they make to be happy to you.

The other wonderful part of the summer camp is the all instructors. They are a fantastic people, they warmly welcomed me since the first day and now they are another friend's group for me for pass a good time together. Last summer was fantastic with them and I will never forget all moments that we spent together.

This is a video that a other instructor did for us.
