Fiestas Patrias

Around this time  my father has a birthday, especially on September 18th, so for these holidays we celebrate his birthday and we also have a barbecue. Beyond that we did no thing else to celebrate these holidays, I stayed at home for the most of the week of the 18th doing nothing, I just had a few drinks. I didn´t go o ut to any “fonda” but I did go to Fantasilandia with my sister, we had a great time that day. But unfortunately we had to leave a little early because I was starting to get a little headache. Apart from all that, I spend most of my time at home with my family.

A Fun Day Out With Friends

My group of friends is varied, and taking into account that I don't forget any of them, we are Ricardo, Luis, Palmer, Benjamín, Andy and Jonathan I've known them since I was in school and we became friends very quickly. When I started talking more with them it was at a party for my friend Luis, where the vast majority of us met, and I also met my friend Palmer. With them, several months ago, January of last year, I got together with some friends to have a barbecue for Luis's birthday. That day we met at Luis's house. I bought some things to drink, while others bought the meat and other variety of food. This day was special since we haven't met in quite some time, both because some were working and others were busy studying. Coincidentally, we all had free that day. At the end of the day, we were satisfied counting and remembering every crazy thing we did, and of course we ended up drunk.

Whitin all this variety, one teacher in particular stands out. He was a good tecaher that his name is Juan Pablo and we called him by Professor "JP". Curiously, this teacher have a son that we were friends at that time. In secondary education, he taught us math, geometry and programming, the last was an elective that we chose because we found it interesting and at the end of the course we had to present a game made by ourselves. His classes were very dynamic and entertaining, helping us understand these sciences instead of just memorizing formulas. What I remember about this teacher is that he was a serious person and that he commanded respect just by his presence. As I remember, the majority of his classes was about demostration of calculations or group work. I was learn many things, like tips to solve some proble
