English Challenges

Hello! I'm very excited because this entry on my blog marks the end of the english course.

When I entered to the university I had to perform a test for to know how many english courses I would have to take. The result was good, I’d had to take 2 out of 4 (the most advanced one ofcourse). Know that i’m finishing the last of them I’m very happy because I really think that I learned, although sometimes I didn´t felt motivated to go to class.

Nevertheless I feel I was lucky because my teachers where very nice and comprehensive.   About my blog I think that is a entreteining tool, but to be honest I feel a Little bit akward wrinting about me in such a public plattform. I preffer to write in a private notebook about my things because I’m shy. Maybe in the future when I travel I will use this blog to communicate whit my friends and family. 

In regard of my english I think I must improve the use of time form wich is very hard, also to have more vocabulary and last but not less important the listening. In order to improve I plan to watch a lot of TV series with english subtitles and when a finish my carreer I will travel arround the world with my boyfriend, and I will learn many more languages.

 I had used my english a few times out side english class, but last week i’d met a lost tourist in the subway (she looked lost so i’d talked to her and then i’d found out she was really lost).  That was when I realized that I can survive with my english knowlege. 

It's been a pleasure.

Xoxo

2015 reflections

I think this year has been a good year, because I have been healthy of my body and my mind. In my opinion, this is the most important thing and in general one does not appreciate it until one gets sick or feels bad.

A good thing that happened to me this year was to have the opportunity to do activities apart from the typical things of the university. I used my time doing another stuff and I met new university friends doing it. This year I learned the importance to spend time with the people around me.

In academic field, it hasn’t worked so well. In spite of the fact that this is my last year of class in the university, I have been unmotivated and lax. I didn’t read enough and now when there is only one month to finish the semester I have a lot of things to do and I’m tired.

I don’t enjoy a subject in particular this semester, in fact, everything has been boring, but I highlight that I have a new job and an opportunity for the next year to do my undergraduate thesis in a project. I’m happy for that because I have wanted this for a long time.

I hope that the next year is good and I can finish the university and be a sociologist.

Travel plans

I would like to visit a lot of places. In first time, I'm going to make a travel to Chiloé this summer with my boyfriend. We love to do travel in our bycicle. Two years ago, we went to Carretera Austral for one month, from Chaiten to Coyhaique... almost 550 Kilometers pedaling. In this occasion, we went with his friends. In the future, i would like to make a travel with my friends too, but this is very difficult because we are very disorganized.

Another trip that we really love to make is an exchange program in Europe. I would like to apply for a scholarship from "Becas Chile" or something like that, for to go to study in Italy. I love the Italian language, and I think that is easy learn it. I think this is a good option for to have more experience in the academic field, and to live in a place free, because I think that is very different go to a place like a tourist that to live there for some time. In my opinion, this is the way for to really know a city or country. And lets me visit another nears countries in Europe.

Coming back to the reality, in this summer, apart from to go to Chiloé in February, in January I'm going to work in a project with a teacher in my university. In this moment I'm working with him, and I expect to continue do it.

My Best Friend

My Best Friend <3

The name of my best friend is Macarena Bernal. She is a small and skynny person, and she loves jumping, dancing and moving anytime. I remember that a teacher called her "little mouse" when we were children.

I met her in first grade when we were seven years old, in the school, and over the years we became best friends. We have been friends since 1997. In other words, 18 years of friendship... and counting...

I consider her my best friend because we have shared our lives, grown up together, and because,in essence, we see the life to the same way and under the same values.

I think that I can't remember one good story to tell you, because I have one thousand of them.  I remember when we stayed in the school and we started laughing until crying. She always pushed me to do stupids things because she is crazy and I was always shier, but I loved to do this follies with her.

Now she lives in Pilén in Maule Region, with her boyfriend and I'm going to see her every time I can. I love her place because she lives in  the countryside. Here I can disconnect from the technology and responsibilities and I can just stay with her.

I love my friend so much, and we hope to be friends for ever.

 

Election day

In first time, Yes, I´m going to vote in the next presidential election, because It is my form to demonstrate my opinion, but I understand that exist another’s forms to do this. For example, some people participle in political or social movements, or protest, etc.  I vote since I have 18 years old, and the vote was mandatory when you inscribe.
 

About electoral campaigns, I think they are crap, because politicians don´t show yours real proposals or ideology, they show and to say anything that the people want to hear for to get votes.
 I think that any persons who want to have a public position should be honest, emphatic, solidary, and should live like a poor people for this time. Only this they really going to work for the people who lives in this situation. Today, politicians live with a lot of money then they are far away from the normal people.
 When I was a child, I wanted to be a politician (or lawyer) because I loved to fight for justice and defend weak people, and I had a idealized conception about  who do a politician.
 

I think that electoral campaigns should be more honest, and the politicians would say t the people all the thing that they want and can do for the people and explain them why. Normal people need to know more about politics for to have a responsible vote or decide don´t vote.

A day to remember

I always remember this day because is important for my family, and because it is a funny history. It was already 3 years ago. My sister was pregnant, in the final of your pregnancy and I went to see her to her house in San Felipe. This day was my birthday and the only thing that I asked to my sister was that she don´t have a baby this day because it was MY DAY. So, since it was my birthday, I pass the day with her, and in the night I was supposed to travel to Viña del Mar for to see my friends and celebrate with them. But my sister started having contractions in the afternoon and her housband was in Santiago... so, I had to take care of her for many hours. At 11 PM nothing happen yet, and the housband of my sister arrived at the hospital,  then I say "Yes, the baby is going to born tomorrow" and I went to home to sleep. I arrived home and I recived a call from the hospital, my  nephew was being born!!! At 11:30 PM!!!!!!!!
In short, he stole my day, but I don´t care but this day was one of the days more important and happy of my life.

The best concert I've ever seen

Fito Paez 

The first time I see Fito Paez was in February 2009 in Valparaíso. Mi boyfriend (in this time he had other girlfriend), tell me about this concert and I went with a friend because I like Fito, and because I really want to see my no-boyfriend. 

Some time afterwards, I listen to Fito come again to Viña del Mar, but this time, he offer a concert call "solo piano". This concert was in December 2009, and I was in 4° Medio, my last year at the school. I remember well because the next day I have to give PSU and I was very nervious about that. In this time I don´t talk with my no-boyfriend but y tell him about this concert with the expectation that he go, but this don´t happen. 

Finaly, I met my goal and now he (my ex-no-boyfriend), is my boyfriend. And this year, Fito come again to Viña del Mar for second time to offer his concert "solo piano", and my boyfriend invite me for san valentine´s day to see him in Enjoy del Mar.

With the time, I have know more song and love more Fito Paez. He remember me a little my history with my boyfriend and the happy ending.
