The Degree i'd like to do

I've been thinking a lot recently about which degree I'm going to do next year.
First of all, my favourite subject is earth science, because I like a lot the volcanos, rock erosions, the airflows, ocean currents,... To do this kind of subject you must go to geology, the cut mark is lower than I though, but I've seen another degree that I like too.
This degree is the chemistry and technologies of the food, where you stdy the kcal, how to extract the fat from the food, etc. , very realted with my research work. This cut mark is higher than geology, but I can reach it. The university i'd like to go is in Barcelona, the UAB, where my friends are going too, so I'd like to go there too.
I hope this years go better for me and I hope to reach the cut mark,  I'd like to do both degrees, but I must think a little bit more about it.




The Visit

This film talks about two kids, that settle down in thei grandparents house for one week becuase their parents go on hollydays in a ship.
This is suposed to be a scary film, but I laughed a lot, and my friend did to, so if you want to laugh, you must watch it.
When the night falls, strange things happens in the house, the grandmother is kind of sick, and the grandparent is sick too. The kids try to communicate to thei mother, but the mother doesn't believe them.
When the kids show the grandparents to their mother with the camera, the mother says that those poeple aren't her parents, so the kids try to run aways, but they can't.
The final is very awsome, but i don't wanna spoil anything.

I recoment it, it's a very good film, you laugh and in some scenes you get shocked, but it's a good film, the plot is very interesting.

A trip with a bizarre end

Last week I went to 'La Gola', just next to the mouth of the Fluvià river. Me and my mother went with the dogs for a walk, but as always, my dogs get lost. This time we went fot the walk too late, because in the winter the night falls very early compared with the summer.

We have GPS that locates them, they were at 500m away from us, inside a giant cane field. We shouted and shouted them, but they didn't want to come. The night fell, and my father came to help us, but they didn't want to come anyway.
Me and my father decided to pierce the field and go find them, but is was impossible, it was too brushy, and wild pigs live there so we were scared.
Finally, we decided to drive to ther other side of the field going around, through the highway to Castelló d'Empúries. We turn right, into Càmping Nautic Almata, and in the middle of the brushes, we found my dog that was stucked there. The other one is younger and came runing towards us.

Fortuanetly, nothing happened, but the strange thing is that my old dog (to ariive at that place wehre he was stucked), had to pass a river to get ther, it's impossible.

At the beggining (where we first lost them) is in the red spot
We found them at the green spot 

How is possible they could swim the river marked with maroon?
It's a big river not a joke.



Spectre

Another film of the James Bond saga. This film carry on with Skyfall.
So Spectre talks about an associacion that tries to kill James Bons and his superiors. He goes to Italy, where he finds one of the spies of this organitzation called Spectre, and he chases him, making lots of explosions and big fight scenes.
He investigate all this org. with a Frenchwoman, they fall in love and make that things that everyone does .
Finally, they go to Marroco and they find a meteor that it's collision with the surface made a big crater. 
He discover who is the boss of this org. (I don't wanna be a spoiler), but it's very unexècted, it's shocking.

I recommend it to poeple who like James Bond films, they are very peculiar and just some poeple like them truedly. There are lots of action scenes and you may get lost in the history, because they go Austria, then to Marroco, then to Italy, and the to Marroco again,.. it's very confusing at the beggining, so be ready to be muddled if you're going to watch it. The special effectes are awsome.

The Hunger Games: The Mockingjay part 2

The mockingjay is the last book of the trilogy called The Hunger Games.
This trilogy talks about the human being in the future, where President snow ( a despot man who controls the twelve districts) tries to exterminate the rebelion against the Capitol.
Katniss is a poor girl who lives in the district 12 (the poorest district), where her sister was called to go to the Hunger Games, but she put up and made herself the chosen one, together with Peeta ( a baker).

The Mockingjay Part 2 talks about Katniss, where she and the rebels decide to go to the Capitol and kill President Snow. Along the way they will find lots of difficulties, and some important characters die (I don't want to be a spoiler).
So I recommend it to everyone who have seen the other films. I didn't even read the books, i don't really know if the film is good adapted with the book, but the sci-fi effects are really good.

John Boyega, the new face of Star Wars

Star Wars is a sci-fi saga that talks about The Force, who poeple called Jedi can control it and use it, but some may fall into the violent world, and end up in the Dark Side (like Anakin Skywalker did).



So John Boyega is the first charavter that appears in this first Star Wars VII trailer, where he was wearing a Stormtrooper suit, that's why he have become so famous. He plays character named Finn. He maight be known to appear in some britishes comedies. 

He tells us that when you have an audition in a movie, diversity isn't the first thing you think about, so the roll 'hasn't consumed him', yet.

PRESENTATION - Youtube Fun



In this video me, Quim and Soufyane are presenting Youtube Fun, a topic that talks about viral videos (how can a video turn viral, the most viewed ones,...).

In this video I don't appear, I was just near to Quim. I remember how i presented my presentation sections, and what I can improve is : progress my pronunciation and correct some grammar mistakes.
I was very happy with our presentation and i think that it went right, QUim and Soufyane can also improve, but they did good.


Les Estunes





A few weeks ago i went to Banyoles to do a trip with my family around the Banyoles lake.
First, we passed near 'La font pudosa', which is a fountain that oozes an horiible tasty water, you can taste it but it's very disgusting. This is cuase by the minerals that the water pass through, that rocks contain sulphides that make the water taste like rotten eggs.


Then, we continued the route passing through a lot of lagoons and ponds. A few moments later, we arrived to Les Estunes, an amount of rifts that you can get into and explore them until you arrive to the end of the fissure.
This fissures are very very cool! When I got into there, it was like a journey to the center of the earth. For me this experience was amazing, I've seen eriosonated rocks and passed through very narrow rifts, that if you look up, you can see the light from the outside, I recomend it t everyone.


Apple or Pear shaped body?


NEWS LINK:

Nowadays beauty is an important topic that everyone tries to have in count, but not everyone is satisfied with their bodies.
Studies proved that there are womans who are apple shaped (their fat focus above the waist) and pear shaped (their fat focus below tha waist).

Scientists say that this kind of shapes are mostly given genetically, but are strenghted by eating too much junk food, called eating disorders.
Pear shaped womens are less satisfied with their bodies than the pear shaped ones. Also, apple shaped womens sometimes they feel a loss-of-control, that's because depending on when the fat in focused, you may have more losses of control or less. Also, apple shaped is worse than pear shaped because the fat focuse above the waist, and that bring some cardiovascular problems .
The best way to keep this away is eating healthy food and doing sport, then the result will be 
completely satisfactory.


What is climate change?





NEWS LINK:

Planet's climte have been changing in the last years. It have been proved that in the past temperatures had been much higher and lower, but this temperature cicle change is ocurring more rapidly than it did, that's human's indusrties fault.

Tha 'greenhouse effect' refers to the way some UV radiation pass through the atmosphere and bounce back to the space, but in this case this radiation is bounced again to the Earth's surface, that entails rising of the goblal temperatures.
This are the main gases that cause the greenhouse effect, and the global warming.


Greenhouse gases

So this proves that human beings are causing this effect, just because the industry and fossil fuel use (vehicles, factories,...) that spread this gases to the atmosphere, making our planet hotter and uninhabitable for some species.
If we don't stop this effect nw, it will cause an important climate change that will bring us serious effects for human's health; if CO2 increases, polar ice cap will melt more than it does and that will cause an increase of the ocean altitude level and will make some habitable places uninhabitable.
