Today I had another descriptive geometry class. As I had done some exercises a few days earlier, it was easier for me to understand the material. I am increasingly realising what many teachers say: you just have to study. In fact, it makes all the difference. I have also noticed that, as I cover more material, the previous material seems much easier, even though it seems difficult at the time. Despite these advantages, the truth is that things are getting more complicated, which forces me to study more. The material is getting harder and harder. I will continue to work and learn from experience - whether because I didn't study enough or because I studied enough and got good results.  

 Last Wednesday, I visited a nursing home with a friend. Unfortunately (and to be honest), I forgot to take a photo. We were on vacation, so we thought it would be nice to donate some of our time to those in need and those who are alone. Initially, we thought about visiting some homeless people, but I got a contact for this nursing home. When we entered, we were amazed because it was very beautiful. The home was actually a convent in the old days. They gave us a guided tour, so we didn't get to spend much time alone with any of the elderly residents. Even so, it took an hour and a half, and we still managed to talk to one or two of the more talkative ones. Despite everything, we left feeling happier and wanting to return. Some of the stories told to us by the residents were a little confusing, which I think is normal. That's just another reason to visit these people. We hope to return soon.

We've just finished another handball match. As we were on holiday, not many people turned up and we had to play a 4-a-side game in the middle of the pitch. Even so, it was spectacular. We learned a lot from Eduardo and Vicente, as well as the two Franco brothers. They play handball at a club. It's always good to do physical activity, and even more so to play handball. I was very happy because I managed to score two goals. I have noticed great progress in my handball skills. I hope to continue progressing at this good pace.
