My Life In Cartagena

I am Arnold, I have 13 years and I live in Cartagena, Colombia. I study in Jorge Washington School; I'm in Middle School in 7th grade. In Cartagena in week days, I get up at 6 AM before going to school from 7 AM to 2:30 PM. After 2:30 I go to my home and have lunch, sleep a while and do my homework for the day after. About at 6 Pm when I'm done with everything, I begin to watch T.V and talk by MSN. I do this from Monday until Thursday.

On Friday when I get home from school, I start talking with my friends to see what are we doing, some times we go to the movies, other days we play soccer, or we go out at night to eat. The most common places were we are, are Campito 2010, were we play soccer most of the times; and McDonald or The Otoyal, were we go out at night for eating.

Most Saturdays I'm with my father at my farm. There I ride horse, cars, and dirt bikes. Sometimes I invite friends, other times I go with my cousins. There we spend all the day, sometimes I stay there to sleep, it is very cool.

Sunday is very boring. Most of Sundays I don’t do anything, I stay in my room sleeping, watching T.V, using the computer and watching movies. It is boring because I know I need to sleep early and I can’t go out at night because the next day there is school. This is what I do most of weekends. Friday, and Saturday are my favorite days.

I like cars, boats, dirt bikes, and airplanes. I am a movie fan, I like action movies like the James Bond movies, Miami vice, and The Departed, I also like the three Mission Impossible movies. I like to hear music; I like Rock, Trance, Reggueton, and Vallenato, each one is a different kind of music with very different rhythms.

Some issues we face here in Cartagena, Colombia, could be politicians. Cartagena could be a better place if there would be fewer problems with politics. Some politicians even steal money the mayor or the president gives to make new projects. There are other good politicians that are trying to solve this corruption problem.
