Train travelers

Villagers like me use to travel a lot with train. If you want to visit Barcelona and your parents don’t get you there, you have to use a train. Here, in Figueres, near where I live, there are two main different possibilities in train travelling; AVE and regional train. AVE means Alta Velocidad Española, which translates to Spanish high speed. That’s because this train is really fast, and it can drive you to far away places in matter of a couple hours. The issue is that everything good has its prize, and AVE isn’t an exception. Such a high speed and commodity isn’t cheaper than 30 euros. However, things can go worse. If your wallet is feeling empty and you need to travel, you can trust regional trains. These are trains that are absolutely amazing. Yes, it is incredible that they don’t fall by their own weight. When I travel in one of these I’m always surprised how I always get to my destination in one piece, and how the train, even if it’s old as my grandmother, keeps running OK. They are trains that are usually dirty, graffitied and a lot of thugs travel in them. This happens because they are really cheap, and most of the times there even isn’t a reviser so you can use one without paying. It’s pretty scary to travel in one of these trains nowadays.

News 5: Wildfire

http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-42271223/man-saves-rabbit-from-california-wildfires In this piece of news, it first explains that a wildfire has lit up in California, a lot of people has been evacuated, many homes have been destroyed…but this particular video shows the moment a man stops his car, steps out and starts running into the fire chasing a little thing. We can see that the thing is really scared about the road but it also is about the fire. However, it decides to run towards the fire. The man looks desperate and when he finds the rabbit, slowly and with a lot of love he gets it between his arms and gets it away from the fire. This video is completely heartbreaking. Just thinking that the man could have easily run away from the fire, and, despite all, he decides to stop his car and try to save a little life, who doesn’t know the danger of the fire and is just running instintinctively. Videos like this one make you consider yourself lucky to live surrounded by ...

How it feels to study in 2n Batxillerat

Nowadays I’m finishing the 1 st term of what has been the most difficult year for me. My marks are really high, and I’m really happy with my results. However, one thing doesn’t solve the other. It’s such a stressing year that one can only wonder:” Why?”. I mean, in our first year, first of batxillerat, the quantity of work to be done in different classes was so little that my chemistry teacher had almost finished all the explanations to be done in March. On the other hand, 2 nd of batxillerat is a really compacted year, and you have almost double the work to do, double de difficultness, and with half the time. And all of that considering that you have to present yourself into Selectivity, which is called that way because incineration of pure souls that course 2 nd batxillerat was too long. It’s a week in which you have 9 exams in 3 days and, in these exams, you have almost your whole future to be decided. Besides that, all the work you’ve done during the whole year is evaluated. I...

Science

I’m a science guy, and for me it’s really annoying how the education system is organized. Science is more interesting than most of people think it is. Just because you think that calculating speed of cars in a road is boring doesn’t mean relativity or quantum physics is. Only because you’ve never heard of how stem cells work doesn’t mean that the path that a blood drop does inside our body is boring. Just because you think mathematical functions are boring and that they don’t have any application it means mathematics as a whole are boring. The most important part of science topics isn’t even mentioned in secondary. That’s a shame. Last year I’ve realised that my girlfriend, who is studying in the social batxillerat, finds interesting how relativity affects our universe. The problem is that if you want to know about these things you only have two options. The first one is having a good teacher, who’s passionate about his work. The other one is searching yourself divulgatory youtube ch...
