I have been reading the magazines from Readers`s Digest and I think they are pretty interesting because it has many jokes and many intriguing articles. Last time I was reading about a doctor who earn about $150,000 a year and he dedicate part of his life volunteering in Africa. He made surgery to the people who has their lips separated. While he is volunteering, he could earn about $1 million making these surgeries. This article remembered to the unit of act of kindness. I like this doctor because he prefer see people smiling than money.

I cannot wait anymore for Tomorrow`s game which is Real Madrid vs Barcelona.I hope my team Real Madrid can beat the other team. This is the soccer classic from Spain and one of the oldest soccer classic of the world. Also today I spent playing a soccer game called FIFA 2010 which is very good because most of the team of the world appear and the players look very real. Also I am happy because the semester is almost over and I will be able to study my career the next year.

Yesterday I notice that everybody in the classroom is improving in the essays. I think that the flash writing are helping us to come up with more ideas easily and doing the outline to organize it better. When the semester started I usually took about 2 hours writing a essay. Yesterday, I took one hour and 15 minutes to finish it.

I liked the unit about homeschooling because I learned a lot of new information about this kind of teaching. Before study this unit I thought that homeschooling was bad because students cannot socialize with other people and they will not develop as a normal student. However, I learned that in this kind of teaching you can make a lot of friends as well and it is more efficient because students can spend less time studying and spend more time doing what really they want to do. But, I will never change Mrs. Christine for this kind of teaching because her classes are more effective !!

I feel better because I already did my presentation because now I can relax and work more in other areas to improve my English. Also I cannot for Thanksgiving because we will not have school for two days and I think it is a wonderful day to spend time with the family. Sometimes some relatives from Australia, Canada or from my country El Salvador come for this holiday. Also I want to go to the Mall for the Black Friday because I received a gift card for my birthday the last month and I have not used it yet.

I am glad that the best player and most expensive soccer player in the world Christiano Ronaldo is coming back to play again after he had an injure in his knee for almost one month. It's incredible how much he worth. My favorite team Real Madrid bought Christiano Ronaldo when he was in a soccer team in England name Manchester United for $120 million. Now he is playing better in the new team and he worth about $200 million for any team who wants to buy him.

This weekend I spent watching some movies and soccer games with some friends. This weekend we were planning with some friends to watch the movie 2012, but we end up watching movies at home. I think that sometimes we make a lot of plans and they do not work as we expect. Sometimes we do not make plans and things work very well. Sometimes when we hang out spontaneously the day is better.

This Thursday after I played soccer in the College, I went to see the breakdance show in the CCB building and it was awesome, there were a lot of good dancers. I think everybody was impressive after see how these people can stand up with one hand, folding their feet, spinning around, that was really seek. If I find some pictures or videos I will post them as well.

I am glad because we did not have class on Wednesday because I can rest so can play soccer this Thursday again. Also I can watch some of my favorites soccer games in the afternoon. I was trying to find something on Internet and on a side of the web page was a famous quote from Benjamin Franklin that it says: "Early to bed and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise". I agree because I have heard that people who follow this routine tend to live longer and healthier. But I think that few people follow this routine because we usually spend the night to watch our favorite games, movies or something on in Internet.

This week I joined the soccer club and I really liked because I saw some of my friends. Also I like the soccer club because when it is cold we can play in the inside of the gym.

I liked the presentation of Cristina because we could see voluntarism from an different perspective. We had a person who really had a experience of voluntarism in Madagascar who can prove whats really altruism because I think she was helping without receive something back even thouth she got paid. One day I would like to do this kind of voluntarism because many poor people have been suffering and will be suffering if we do not do something about it. Being in this situation for 1 or 2 years is nothing compared how this poor people have been living for many years.

I hope today Yankees win, I do not know what I win, maybe Mrs. Christina can be happy. I do not follow baseball, I do not even know all rules; but, just the fact that I live in New York, make me to be a Yankee fun. Also today the soccer team Manchester United tie with Moskva. I hope they can get better because it is my favorite team from England. The coach from this team is Alex Ferguson, he is the best soccer coach because he has won more than 30 trophies and he has been coaching the same team during almost 30 years. He is some famous in England , that even he was called by the England Queens to be reconigze as Sir Alex Ferguson.
