Working

Hi, tomorrow will be my first week working in the hotel, I have to work Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 1pm, so I had to change my session in the college but it was good because I could know new people and teachers.
In my job I have to go to each room from the hotel and check its minibar and whether something is missed I have to put the same product in the minibar. After I go to every room, I have to fill a sheet up and write the product and the room number which I have to put in the minibar.
The job is easy, also I can practise English with my coworkers and receive some money, the worst is that I can not go to the trips because I have to work on weekends, maybe later I can speak with the manager and try to do something with that case.

Trips: Winchester, Portsmouth, Corfe Castle, Jurassic Coast

Hi, I want to tell you that those trips have been amazing, because I have been able to learn a lot of things about British culture and new places in the world as well. If I had to choose about what is the best trip so far? It could be very difficult, I liked every place and every moment and that is the important. Because in Winchester I knew The Great Hall and Round Table, and King Alfred, in Porstmouth about the old british ships and Spinnaker Tower. In Corfe Castle about the civil war in England, and in Jurassic Coast about the world heritage site and beautiful sights.

Looking for a Job

Hi, I have been looking for a job since 3 weeks ago, because the money which I had brought from Colombia is finishing, so I have to get a job as soon as possible. I have printed my CV and gone to several hotels and restaurants, and three days ago I recived a phone call from one hotel called Norfolk Royale Hotel, I had a interview and the manager told me that I would have a kind of trial next saturday and sunday. I hope that I can learn fast the things that I have to learn, however I know that I have learned somethings fast in the past, this is a new challenge for me, because it is a different job in a hotel.

Moving to another house

Hi, I am very tired today due I had to move to another house, so I had to pack my luggage and organize the other room which I had been living. After to do everything I had my lunch and I came back to the room to check that I wouldn't have forgotten anything. Later I had to say good bye and thank you to my host family. After I put my things in my new room in the other house, I had to go to the supermarket called Asda, because I wanted to know it, beside Asda is close to the train station and bus station, then I could know those places at the same time. It was my first time that I had to buy some groceries, because I am in the new house and I have to do everything by myself, it can be a good experience for me, I hope so.

Class and Shopping

Hi, today was my first class in advance level, it was nice, because all the people speak very well, there are people from Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Turquia, India, España. We were speaking about our cities and countries. After the class, I went to buy a Jacket, at this time the winter clothes are very cheap, my jacket cost 3 pounds, I don't know wheter it was a mistake because the seller said it's incredible. Later I went to the libraries because I wanted to buy a book and a dictionary, I bought the book "The girl with the dragon tattoo" from Stieg Larsson, it cost 5 pounds, it's very cheap, because in Colombia cost 15 pounds. I couldn't buy the dictionary because I don't know what is the best, either Longman or Oxford. I was searching on internet and the people said that both are good.

Trip: New Forest, Stonehenge and Salisbury

Hi, today was amazing, because I went to New Forest, Stonehenge and Salisbury. The first place is known because of in the past people thought that lived witches, so the stores have some witch signs, besides in the road, I could see a lot of horses, the horses live in the forest and people go to feed them. If someone hit or kill to a horse, the person has to pay 500 pounds to the government. We had breakfast and it cost 5 pounds, they say the it was the most famous cream tea in England. The second place was Stonehenge, it's an amazing place and magic, because I don't know how the ancient civilizations could build this place, the stones weigh some tons. I had to pay 6,80 pounds by entrance. Later we went to Salisbury, it's a beatiful place, it has a cathedral very big, the cathedral is the second cathedral biggest in Europe. The architecture is very old, and Salisbury has a lot of old houses and buildings. We could feed some swans and ducks when we were entered to Salisbury, because Salisbury has a little river and on the river we could see them. We came back to Bournemouth at 6pm and I came to the house at 7:30pm.
