Diary entry

Hi. I was asked to do this diary entry based on a poem called: "For my grandmother knitting" by Liz Lonchhead. This diary entry talks about of the point of view of the grandmother and what she thinks about his family:

Dear Diary, today I was visited by my family. Every Sunday, they visit me to see how I am. Every day, before they come, I knit some sweater or some scarf for one of them. I am so happy when I give them some of my knitting because I feel more useful. The day I cannot knit any more, I will not know what to do. When I am knitting, I dont feel like anything; I feel free. I dont even realise when I am knitting; it is like part of me. I dont know if my ability of knitting has something to do with when I was little because when I was little, I was a fisher-girl. Now my old hands are too weak but I still knit because like I said; it is part of me.
I dont know if my family needs my knittings because I have already made lots of clothes that I dont even know if they need them. And sometimes I ask myself if I am stressing them with all my knitting but that is tye only thing I can do. Each time that my family comes, I feel more and more bored. Each time that my family comes, I feel more and more stupid. But each time my family comes, I remember that I still have a motivation to keep on living; them.

Deadly earthquake hits India and Nepal.

The earthquake killed 16 people and damaged some buildings. The quake was felt as far away as the Indian capital, with the New Delhi residents rushing out of shaking buildings. The indian Prime minister, offered to send troops to help and search for people under fallen buildings in the city and the air force sent five planes to help with rescue efforts.

Excurcion a Reserva Natural.

El Miércoles 06/05, nosotros, los chicos del Colegio Newlands, realizamos una excurcion a la Reserva Natural de Santa Catalina.

Fuimos con nuestras profesoras Florencia Barbeta, Vicky Vázquez y Laura Smietniansky. Cuando llegamos, el guía, nos recibió presentándose; se llamaba Pablo Centurion. Primero, nos explicó que la reserva era de 18 hectáreas y también nos dijo que la reserva era casi totalmente natural, ya que trataban de que fuera lo más natural posible. Cuando comenzamos a entrar a la reserva, caminamos por al lado de la vías y nos topamos con los primeros 2 árboles. El primero, era el Tala que estaba del otro lado de las vías.

Luego seguimos por un sendero ya entrando al bosque. El guía nos mostró un árbol caído por una tormenta y unos pequeños talas que no se pudieron desarrollar debido a que no pueden recibir luz del sol ya que hay muchos árboles grandes a su alrededor.

También nos mostraron un árbol llamado "Mora de papel" y nos explicaron que ese árbol fue el primer árbol que se usó para hacer papel con sus hojas en China.

Pasamos por un lugar donde, una semana atrás, hubo un incendio intencional.

En ese lugar, el guía nos mostró una mariposa de seis ojos, llamada así por sus alas.

Pasando eso, llegamos a un lugar de descanso al lado de las vías del tren y a una estación, junto a un vagón viejo que se usaba para guardar cosas. Tuvimos una merienda compartida en ese lugar.

Luego de la merienda, el guía nos mostró un Lagarto Overo dentro de un frasco con formol y alcohol. Nos dijo que había sido matado por unos chicos con un palo y una gomera.

Finalmente, nos sacamos unas fotos grupales, antes de irnos.
