Wizarding Weekend

Hello, mates! How are you doing? Are you enjoying your winter holidays? Tell me everything about it. I hope you are having a great time. I started a new book called “Nos4a2” written by Joe Hill. It’s a horror book about a vampire. It’s funny because Joe is Stephen King’s son. My first book of Stephen King was “Salem’s Lot,” and it was about vampires, too. It’s a 700- page book, but I like it. I don’t usually read long books during the holidays, because I have a lot of things to do, but I wanted to read something related to horror. I have to admit, I love Joe’s writing style, because it’s quite different from Stephen’s style.

I am also anxious because a week from now, I will be attending the “Magic Meeting.” If you are a truly Harry Potter fan, you must go. The event will take place in San José School (Azcuénaga 158 C.A.BA). Have you ever dream about taking lessons in Hogwarts?

You can learn a lot about defense about against the dark arts, potions, herbology and even arithmancy. Take a class or two and help your house to win The House Cup. You only have to answer questions in the class you are attending, and your house will immediately receive the points.

If you don’t have a house, the Sorting Hat will assign one for you. Mind you! If you don’t like the house the Hat chose for you, you can change it.

Are you a vegan or a vegetarian wizard? No problem. You will be able to find vegan and vegetarian food. You will also find cakes, cupcakes, and sweets to eat at the event.

Do you want to take a picture with Dobby or Buckbeak? Go to the second floor, and you will find them waiting to take a picture with you.

If you are like me and want to buy original merchandising of Harry Potter, you will be able to do so. Prepare your muggle money because you are likely to spend a lot of it.

If you are a muggle, or a muggle decides to come with you, there is a special room for them. This room is for muggles to rest from all the magic.

You can also play Quidditch, magic chess, and try to find the deathly hallows. 

You can also get married here.

But be very careful, the Dark Lord will be wandering around the school seeking for new victims.

So, if you want to come, I will let the link to buy the tickets for this amazing and magical event at the end of this post.

Well, I hope you enjoy the rest of the winter break and have an amazing week.

See you, mates!

가자!

Hello, my friends! Well, we are not exactly friends, but you know what I mean. Because in order to be friends we should have each other numbers. Some of you have my number, though. But, we are more like acquaintances, I would say. You have those friends you speak every single day. It can´t go a day without talking to them. But you also have those friends who you only see once in a while and when you bump into them is like you have to remember who that person is. It´s funny because you try to remember the name of that person, who is talking to you, while you pretend to remember everything about that person. It happened to all of us.

But this post is not about friendship. Today’s post is about something more relative. Before you stop reading thinking I’m going to talk about science let me tell you that science rock! And today’s post is going to be about what makes us happy: happiness and achieving our goals.

First of all, I have to tell you that I passed my Korean exam. There were sixty people at the beginning of the year, and the teacher told us that only twenty five students were going to pass. No pressure. The week of the exam, I was so nervous.

The oral part was the worst section of all. I started like a champ. When I had to say how much a cake cost, I couldn’t remember how to say twenty-five million. Of course, I panicked, and when the teacher told me to relax, and to close my eyes, the words came out of my mouth. After the big party organized by the institute, the teacher asked if we wanted to be part of another course to sit for an international exam. This exam is like the First Certificate but in Korean. I refused the invitation, because I just want to focus all my attention on the next level of the course. My brain is at its capacity at this time of the year.

I must admit I thought I was going to fail the exam. When the teacher handed in the exams, I freaked out. I went to look for my exam, and she gave me a handshake and told me I passed to the next level. I was like…

I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I studied a lot, but I thought it wasn’t enough. I was so happy, because in a short period of time, I learned a lot, and I’m proud of myself. I truly believe, we can do wonderful things, when we are engaged and motivated. I think that while we have the opportunity to learn new, and amazing things, we should totally do it.

We have one month to relax, and in August we will start with the second level. The teacher has already told us that in the second level only 15 people will pass. No pressure!

For now, I will enjoy my victory, and I will watch a Korean drama or two.  

Happy winter holidays! See ya :)
