Today I felt sad because one of my best friends took the plane to go back to her country. This special friend is Kim, from South Korea. We have spent great moments together. We have become closer and closer...

I think that life is like a trip on a train. We go through a lot of gates and we share our journey with a lot of people...and some of them leave a huge footprint in our hearts.

For me, this part of my trip is one of the best ones. Learning English is one part of it, but there are so many other parts...

Last Saturday, some friends and I  had dinner together. These moments make me feel very very rich...because those moments are unique. Actually these days, there are a lot of barbecues in the student residence, it must be the season!! It's a great opportunity to meet new people, or to share time with your new friends, because, here, believe me, you are going to make a lot of good friends!!!

I want to finish this post, saying some words for you Kim: your card has really touched me. You too you are a friend that will remain forever in my heart!! I know that soon we'll share again a part of our journey!! I wish you the best, and thanks for all our moments. I love you my friend. See you soon!!

Your friend

Independence day

Today is a national holiday, here in the United States. The country celebrates the Declaration of the Independence which took place the 4th of July, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. Independence day is commonly associated with fireworks, picnics, parades, baseball games...

In Fort Lauderdale, big fireworks were scheduled at 9 p.m at the Beach Boulevard. This afternoon it started raining, so I was a little bit worried because fireworks and rain don't go together. But, fortunately, the fireworks took place and it stopped raining!! There were fireworks in different places. It was great!! The sky was full of lights, colors......I went there with my neighbors and my family, who arrived last Saturday. We had a great night. We also prepared a barbecue.  The Green Island Inn, the student residence where live a lot of students from Embassy CES, organized a big barbecue, too.

On the other hand, this week I started my classes again, after 15 days of break. I was glad to see again my "old friends " and to have the opportunity to meet new people!!
