The Last Song

Last year I read a the book "The Last Song" with one of my best friends "F". While all of my other friends were in a school trip at Washington "F" and I decided that we would read a book we chose "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. That week we both read the whole book and had a lot of fun doing it. This book is about a girl named Ronnie and all of the  things she goes through while being forced to visit her father over the summer. She falls in love and she learns to love her father before he passes away at the end of the summer. This book is both romantic and sad due to these occasions. After finishing the book I saw the movie and I realized hoe much better the book is from the movie. The book is so much more detailed than the movie. many things happen differently in the book than in the movie. In conclusion "F"and I thought it was a very good book that we would reread any day just for fun.For the people that have not read the book I recommend you t o read it. If you have already seen the movie I still recommend you to read the book. Since "F" and I loved this book we have decided that we are going to read another one of Sparks novels. We chose "The Lucky One". All that I have read up to this point has been extremely interesting.

Procrastination

What a word "Procrastination". We all do it, we are all procrastinators. We cant help it we are human We love leaving things for the last minute. For those people out there who don't know what procrastination is the dictionary definition is "to put off until another day or time; defer; delay." This meaning that you have work to do but you leave it for last minute. I am not very proud to say that I am a procrastinator, but sadly I am one of those people. I always procrastinate with homework, projects, studying, and more. As a matter a fact, I am being a procrastinator right now. I am on vacation and I am at the beach. While everyone is outside having the time of there lives I am inside writing on my blog. I am procrastinating because I have had a whole month to write on my blog but no, I decided it would be best to leave it for last minute. Now I realize how bad procrastinating can be, and now I know that I have to stop being a procrastinator because of all the stress and trouble I go through is just not worth it. I recommend for all the people out there not to be lazy and procrastinate. It wouldn't hurt you to do your work when it is assigned. Trust me listen to a person that has been a procrastinator for a long time. Don't procrastinate!

English Spanish or Spanglish

Were I am living right now the main language is Spanish. After living in the United States for eight years I learned how to talk and write English fluently. The school that I study at is an international school. In this case the language that is used by all teachers is English. All of our classes are tough in English except for foreign language class. When you are young you are forced to take Spanish as a foreign language, but when you get to high school you are allowed to choose between Spanish and French. I chose French because I already know both English and Spanish. Most of the people in this school are bilingual.When we have lunch or break we are allowed to use whatever language we want. I speak Spanish with my friends because it is our native language. In most of our classes we are not allowed to speak Spanish. In my English class our teacher does not let us say a word in Spanish, if we do she marks us down. Since both English and Spanish are used through the day we have combined them and created Spanglish.Most of us now are stuck speaking Spanglish and we get marked down because of this silly habit. I believe that we should be allowed to speak what ever language we want to ourselves and not get marked down for it. 

Best Friends

So why have best friends when you can have many friends? Well for those people out there who don't know it is good to have a best friend because you have someone to count on and trust.When you have a best friend you know that you can tell the your deepest secret or vent your feelings because you know that they will never tell anyone what you just told them.On the other hand, a friend is someone that you like to hangout with but you don't have such a strong bond with. It's not such a good idea to tell a friend a secret because they have nothing to loose telling everyone. My best friends right now are "F" and "I". "I" is my twin and "F" is our other best friend. I also have another best friend that just recently moved to Costa Rica, her name is "V". Yes we are all girls but that does not mean that you cant have best friends who are guys. I personally like having guy friends instead of best friends I can't trust them as much as I cant trust a girl, but I still love having guy friends because they are not so dramatic and they don't hold a grudge like us girls do. Overall it is extremely important to have a best friend no matter if that best friend is a he or a she.Once you have people you can trust it is good to have other friends to hangout with.
