Homework version 2.0

Even when I wasn't in class this week (because I was sick... The flu attack me and it made me feel terrible. I had to stay in bed, drinking lemonade and traying to sleep), I have to do my homework. This week I have to talk about my weekend.

I have to start saying that my friday night was awesome: my sister, my cousin and I were to the theater to see a play called "El mercader de Venecia" ("The merchant of Venice"), which is based in a famous book of William Shakespeare. Even though I had read the book, the play make me feel in other world; the performances were excellent, the dialogue was perfectly adapted and even more: it was funny.

Saturday was a lost day. I didn't do what I had to do (homework, reeding, etc) and all because I was so, so tired. The last week was a complete horror (and the following week didn't see so much better), so I just needed a break. Even when I had to do some research for a Social Anthropology's homework, I just forgot it and I took a nap.

Sunday (April 13) was a big day for me: It was my birthday.

That day I woke up early and help my family to prepared everything because my closest friends were invited to a barbecue to celebrated that I turn nineteen. It was a very, very good day, and no only for the presents. It was funny, I laughed a lot and I forgot every worry of the past week. After all, you only turn nineteen once. And it must be celebrated, even when you have homework to do.

Homework version 1.0

This is my homework. I have to choose one song that means something for me. Then I remembered a song that I heard some years ago and that almost automatically like.
"Enjoy the silence" of Depeche Mode is one of my favourite songs, because I heard it for the first time when I was sad and in trouble. Hearing it made me feel that no situation is as serious as it would seem at first and that it can be overcomed.
The song means a lot for me, because it make me smile even when I am sad or when there are obstacles in my way. That's why I choose this song. Because when you hear it, you think immediately that it is bright.

Enjoy the silence
Depeche Mode

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
