Today I've done my reader exam. the book I've Choosen is Rebecca by the British author Daphne du Maurier.
The main character is a young woman that works as the companion of a rich American woman. during their trip to the French Rivera she becomes involved with a wealthy and rich English man, Maxim de Winter. When she is going to left the place she agrees to marry him, and after the marriage, she goes with him to his mansion, Manderley.
Maxim's first wife died more or less one year ago, so, she arrives at Manderley as the new Ms de Winter. After a few days she realizes how difficult will be to compete with the memory of her husband's first wife, Rebecca. Rebecca died in a sailing accident in the coast next to the mansion, but her memory is really strong and everyone compares the new bride with her, specially the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, who had a specially devote to Rebecca.
During the novel, the new Ms de Winter has to fight against Rebecca's phantom amd the hate of the housekeeper. Our young woman discovers a lot of things about Rebecca and finally all is at the revers that it seemed.
I saw the film some years ago and tonight I will try to watch it again if my mom has it. I really recomend you to read the novel or watch the film; both are fantastic.
This is a really good novel of mistery that Alfred Hitchcock adapted to cinema.

SAILING
Well, I've just come back from Torrevieja, where the Spanish Cup of my dinghy took place and I must say that I'm quite happy. My result was not so good but I'm classifiyed for the Youth European Championship and it was my main goal to achieve this year. The European Championship will be celebrated in Denia, near València, I've been sailing there two times and it is Ok. Jaja, for me is a shame that the chamionship is there because I would like to go to another place, like last year when we went to Italy..but well...the good point of this is that my birthay would be in the same dates than the regata and in Denia it's perfect to go out in summer.
So, here you have a picture that Torrevieja's coach took one day thet we were training there.

EASTER HOLIDAYS
Hi people, today is Friday and we are just going to start Easter holidays!!!
The shame is that in half an hour more or less I have a really difficult exam on economy...this year I really don't like this subject so much, last year was more interesting...
My plans for this holidays are: SAIL & GO OUT :)
Tomorrow I left home at 8 o'clock in the morning to go to Barcelona for three days to train. I will be sainling with some other people in the Forum.
We will train Saturday, Sunday and Monday. At night I will go at Julia's home to sleep, in Cerdanyola. Julia i one of my best mates and I'm really happy that I'm going to sleep with her.
Tuesday will be my day for homework and all this stuff...and in the afternoon I will prepare my bags for Torrevieja.
Wednesday morning, very early, I will go to Barcelona with my dad and then he will left me in the Forum, where the Federació Catalana de Vela is and then, a long travel to Torrevieja will start. I'm going to Torrevieja because there is an important championship there, I'll be there sailing for the rest of the week.
For me this chamionship is very important because my place on the Youth European Chamionship depends on my results there..for the moment I'm classifayed, but this is the last step to get in.
so, HAPPY EASTER !!
