Myself

My name is Esther Delgado Lara and I'm 16 years old. I was born in Figueres but I've been living in Castelló d'Empúries since I'm 2 years old. I study in a high school in my town where I'm doing 1st Batxillerat.

Claudia and myself
I'm a girl that as many teenagers, likes to spend her time listening to music, going shopping and being with her friends. I really like being with my friends, but it is true I love being alone as well. In my free time I basically do that: I go shopping, I listen to music and I'm with my friends, even though I like so much going to the cinema.

I'm a person that needs happy people around her. I need people making me laugh all the time and who can enjoy with the little things. Even my mum knows that! Once she told a guy “If you'd like to date my daughter, you must be someone happy who would make her laugh the whole time!”.

When I'm alone I like to close myself in my room, turn my laptop on and put the music very loud! Then, more than going to Facebook, I rather go to Twitter where, aside of supporting my idols and talking with fans around the world I learn english! And I learn a lot there.


I've been dancing ballet since I'm 4 years old. I can't say I'm good at it but I really love it. Lately I've been thinking how it is that I keep dancing because I always get tired fast of the things but I don't know why, I'm not tired of ballet yet. And it's been twelve years now!!

I don't really like studying. I hate studying. It is one of the things I hate most. I like learning but I don't like having to study and prepare myself for a test. I mean, I like to listen to new things and not be an ignorant but then I don't like to study it because I get so nervous and this is something I hate a lot. But I'm still here. I'm doing Batxillerat because seeing how is the world lately, I really don't want to go through something like that. I want to go to the university and make a career, then leave this country (finally) and start a new life far away from here. At least this is what I want and I'm going to do my best to take it.


Basically.

I hate summer. I hate the hot. I hate sweating. I hate the beach. I hate the swimming pool. 

My summer 2013

Last year when school was finishing I was kind of sad. Actually I didn't want to end the year. It was the

first year in this school I liked my class and I felt very comfortable with all my classmates.
The first year of class (from last year) we started as a little groups of people and during the year our relation became bigger until the point we were all together. It was very nice going to the class and having the chance to talk to everyone because everyone was friendly. There were people I knew since I was little, other since I was in the high school and others I just knew their faces because I used to see them in the corridor, but at the end, we were all friends. (Even though I have to admit there were constantly fights between a guy and a girl, but no one used to pay attention.)
My teachers were really cool and I didn't have any problem with any of them. 
While the year was finishing, I noticed I was going to miss that year. I realized I was probably in the best class I had ever been during high school and that the following year everything was going to change. I was scared of new things, of having to study even more and having to work hard to get my best grade. Apart, It was going to be the first summer working... so yeah, I was really scared. 


One day after school finished, I went to a trip with my parents. We went to Almería and Granada to stay some days and visit my family there before I started my summer work. I spent a whole day in the car, which was so damn boring. 
We went to my grandmother's house (she used to live there before she came here). Now is of my aunt's property but no one lives there. It's empty the whole year unless during summer where all my family goes to there in different days. So as we were the first family that went this year, we had to clean a lot before we had dinner and went to sleep.
The following days were pretty good. It's a very calmed town and I tried to forget everything I left here. I lived such a new stuffs before the end of school I didn't like and I wanted to forget it all.


After some days, we took our car and went to Granda. We didn't stay in my daddy's family's town this time because we decided to stay in a hotel in the center of the city. 
Granada is a very beautiful city. I love it. Is very comfortable and people has a style I like so much, which I loved a lot. 
It's full of shops! Many of the shops are here too, but most of them ain't here so I started to find out new shops. 


But the june 30th we had to take the car direction Castelló d'Empúries because I had to work the following day...


The july 1st was my first day of my first summer work. I worked in a Wine Palace from Santa Margarita, a little supermarket basically of alcohol and refreshments, chocolate, sweets, nougat and chips. 
We were four people working there and of them all, I just knew my cousin. I have to admit I was very scared of everything because in a first place, I didn't know the other two guys and in a second place, I didn't know anything of alcohol! How was I supposed to know about how many types of drinks are out there? I'm only 16! But even though It took me almost all july and august to know them, at least I finally knew where the whisky was, where the tequila was, where the wine was... 

It wasn't like I had imagined before at all! They were all very open and funny and were all the time making jokes and we were laughing the whole time, which was pretty good. I actually liked working there and I hope I work there next year again! But with a higher lever of French!



And when I opened my eyes I saw It was september and the medieval festival was here again and I realized this year has gone so fast and that I have to enjoy every second of my life even if I'm working or studying because maybe tomorrow will be over...
