...long time ago!!

Sometimes you feel like you had something in your stomach. It’s possible that you are nervous for some exam or something else that scared you a little bit. But today is not this case. I’m really happy. Why? I don’t know exactly. It could be because the summer will come soon, but there is something more important and special for me. In two weeks I’ll be 18 years old!!!

Today I’m remembering all these things that I lived during these “17’9999” years.

I went to Pare Coll School since I was 2 years old, until I was 16. I became bladybug, penguin, dolphin and giraffe during P-2, P-3, P-4 and P-5. It was fantastic. Almost every week it was the birthday of someone in the class so all together went to Festa Park to celebrate it. Also I remember that until P-4 there was a boy who was loved for all the girls. He was my “boyfriend” and I was much higher than him. When I think about it, I don’t avoid laughing.

His mother and mine were really friends so we spend a lot of time together: I did artistic gymnastics with him and years later I did ballet and funky with him too.

One day, when P-4 ended, he got angry and said with a loud voice that he fed up with all the girls. His fame between the girls was finished when the next year a new boy came to our class and replaced him as “the most handsome”. (I put it between commas, we were child and now I understand why I have to wear glasses).

Two years ago, when with my group of friends remember our anecdotes, one of us explained a story about this boy: One day, during the break, he with another boy and a girl were behind a house that was in the playground. He left and went to say to the teacher that they were kissing and why they didn’t want to kiss him.

Every time I hear this story I can’t stop to laugh!!

At the age of 5 I started the primary in the same school. During all these years before to start ESO I had different teachers and all of them had the same reaction when heard my surname: “Cortada”. I have an older brother. And I don’t know how exactly explain it but … he was allergic to the books, you know what I mean. And he wasn’t happy enough with not doing homework; he always got angry all the teachers. For this reason, every time I started a new year and the teacher heard my surname, looked at me with a suspicious glance.

However, when they realized that I was very shy and that I never annoyed anybody, they were really happy with me, or at least I thought it was like.

Another curious anecdote took part in the 2^nd of Primary: I broke my leg or it would be better to say that from the sky rained a boy who fell on my leg and it was broken. It was “Caramelles” Day. After we had sung, we were playing the trapped, girls against boys, as we always did in that time. We trapped all the boys except one who was on the top of the slide. All the girls were around the slide but there was a side where there weren’t anybody. I decided to go there. And just when I went there he jumped. I tried to stand up but when I support my right foot on the floor I had a sensation that I’ve never had. It was as if I had a ball inside my leg and it went up and down. It was a really strange sensation.

These are only some anecdotes that I lived but I think that there are too many lines to read and it isn’t my intention to make fall asleep all these who read this text.

On 5^th May I’ll be 18! And it represents that I’ll be responsible enough to live alone next year and take my decisions on my own. For now I have to give all my best in my final exams if I want to go at the Barcelona University to study a medicine degree and have that student’s life that everybody talks about.
