De seguida que comencem a ser independents d'ells, comencen a detestar-nos. ¿Què es pensen que som? Nines de jugar?..."

I am English. I am from Scotland but now I live in Madrid.
I am seventeen years old. I live in Madrid with my parents and siblings. I have two brothers and a sister.
I have a cousin in Scotland. He is an only child. He always write me e-mails and we are in touch on the mobile phone.
I study in a public high school and I have many friends.
I enjoy playing football with my friends at weekends. I love football and I am a Van Morrison fan.
What I like the most is going out with my friends and chatting with them on my mobile phone.I also like listening to music and watching films and TV series on the Internet.
I do not like too much reading but sometimes I do it. I do my homework everyday and study to pass my exams. I do not like missing any lesson because then I have a lot of work to catch up with.
