My weight

When I came to here my weight was 55k and now my weight is 75k. Is incredible!!!

I am worried because when I was in my country I always went to the gym, I walked to a big mountain in my city every Saturdays, I ate a lot, many things that here in America I don´t do and my weight is more than before. I can´t believe.. all my family and friends asked me, Annie What happened? you were not like now, before you were so strict with your body and your health.. and I said to them It´s ok, I going to do a diet and don´t worried I never will be like a heavy girls from America jajaja. I hope from now to the summer I could do a diet and many exercise for my body because I want to look like before "thin" and could go to the beach relax.

American Party

Last Friday I went to an Arabian friend´s apartment for a party, but the people that came was from America.. This was so uncomfortable because the most young people from America smoke Marihuana, I think they can´t stay in a party relaxed, just for dance and drink.. It is first time and I think last time that I stay with young people from America in a party like that. I didn´t like it. Is not like party from Spanish.. I miss my friends.. I want to go to my country just for two weeks.. after that I will be happy.

Boring Week.

All of these that I have been at home have been boring for me because there is not where to go, only seeing the snow and studying alone in my room, it is so boring!

I want the summer come quickly, to get out, to jogging, to use my original clothes, etc.. I hope to go next holiday to a warm city like Miami, California.. really I want to visit others warm cities.

Fun Friday.

On Friday of last week, I went to my friend´s apartment to enjoy and to practice English. We had a good time. My friends and I prepared a kind of dinner called "Capsa", It is a kind of food from Saudi Arabia. This kind of food, they usually eat it with their hands and on the floor. This was interesting because I have never eaten or seen a lunch that eaten with the hands and on the floor.

This meal comes with rice and chicken. I liked it too much, delicious!!

I think that cook with friends from differents countries is interesting because all the things are new for us. I hope to prepare it again or make something of my country.

Two Lives

When I started to read this book, I felt comfortable and I was interested in read more and more because this story was about two young people with my same age that they wanted to have a life together in the future, but many things happened that for them were hard for got married. For me it was very interesting. The only thing I did not liked was that the story did not continued. I learned a lot vocabulary and many English phrases between boyfriends. I would like to recommend this book because is easy for understand and is funny!

My Autobiography (Intro)

My name is Annie. I was born in Venezuela in 1992. I lived in Caracas for the first nine years of my life. At that time I lived with my parents. I felt very comfortable living with them.

I have never seen snow just last month when snowed. It´s pretty, I liked it so much. I made snowmen, it was fun. I think when there is snow, the weather is not so cold as all the people had told me, and I thought the snow was different like a cotton. Only one thing that I don´t like it is when I want to go to anyplace, I can´t because all the streets are dangerous for the ice, even thought there many machines that operates on the street for make the traffic more fluid. I hope by this weekend snowing.

Journal 3

I usually went to church when I lived in Venezuela. This church is International, it is Christian. When I came here I wanted go to church but the location was too far, it´s in Elizabeth-New Jersey like two hours from here. I wanted go but is too far and my father didn´t want go with me because he had to drive. After one month I could go but it was so difficult for found the address, in The USA all the avenues and street are differents from my country, here someone get lost easily because there are many intersections, bridges, deviations... Finally we could found the address and attend worship. When the worship finished we went to visit some places of Elizabeth. It is not beautiful but there are many restaurants from Colombia so delicious.. I like go to there because I eat a lot.

When I was in High School I felt happy because my friends and I always did many things, we were going to night clubs, friend´s houses, we were going to restaurants, etc... I think the best stage of life is when we are in High School, we don´t have to do anything, just study! We don´t have responsability about money or paying bills. It´s good for as but when we finish our School, we have to starting with the responsibilities.

Journal 2

I feel I have improved very much if I compared when I started in ELI because when I came here I didn´t know anything about English, but now I feel great because I can talk and understand more than before. Sometimes it´s hard to live in a country where it is not your culture, your language, your food, your habits, your friends, family, etc...But if we think about our future we can overcome these things. I miss so much my family but i have to focus in learn right now this language for that I can go to a good University later. I hope that I can go to University of Delaware when I finish the course in Eli and I can start my college career.
