!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

September, always September..........

People from my generation usually start their active life in September, as a reminiscence of their scholar life. They plan a lot of passtime with the best of intentions in this month; even if everybody knows as well it'll be really difficult to keep doing these new social and leisure activities until June. 

It doesn't matter. Every year we insist, me too, on planning similar thinks: going to the gym, eating healthily, meeting friends more frequently, keep contact with other friends by email, walking every day, resting one hour a day and more and more projects that, on the other hand, we are convinced of ending up as last year: giving them up before next January. 

And every autumn the cycle begins...........It’s the way we keep the dream of controlling our free time......... and this is true: we control our leisure time by doing nothing, as unconsciously planned.
