My favourite places

I Have lived here in Santiago all my life, so I have some personal places that I like to visit very often, or when I have enough time. I think that if I was a foreigner tourist, I would like someone give me some advices of what to do or when to go, to enjoy as much I as could this city. In first place, I like to visit the Cultural Center Palacio la Moneda. It is located in the center of the city, under the building government house: La Moneda. This center is very cheap, and always has a lot of interesting artworks. This is one of my favorite places, and all the family can visit it. In a different area of the city, is located the Sculpture Park, this is a very cozy place, is full of very much sculptures, and you can read there, invite your friends or have a good conversation. Other place I like very much is the San Cristobal hill, It’s located in the east area if the city. It have a road from the base to the top that you can walk, and when you arrive to the top you can see all city, and is a very beautiful landscape especially when it has just stop raining. Returning to downtown, there is the Bellas Artes Museum, is a very old structure and is full of Chilean artworks. Every time some foreigner artist come to Chile, it make important and pretty exhibitions. I like this museum because it can show me more of my own culture. The last place that I’m going to describe is the one I visit to chill out whit my friends, the Victor Jara storehouse. There are always concerts in there; I like to go there to listen to my favorite musicians and to have a nice time whit my friends. This are the places that I like more, I hope to continue adding more places to mi list!

transantiago experience!

Since all this Transantiago system was going to beginning, all people had a bad feeling about all situation that was coming, everyone said that it was going to be a chaos, people thought buses were going to be driven so much slower and all the workers in the city were frustrated one month in advance. Personally, I thought in that moment: “because of all the bad energy that all people is putting on it, this is going to be a disaster” and that was what happen. When Transantiago began, all people was so angry about waiting so much on the bus stops, and about the crowded of the buses, I remember that day I was on my summer holydays, and it was the main theme in the news. I think it wasn’t to bad, in the beginning it was obviously a chaos, because people wasn’t have any information and nobody knew what to do or where to go, but that situation was improved little by little…whit necessary tolerance of people, of course. I think there’s no a big difference whit the old system, actually is much cheaper travel in Transantiago because there’s no charge by transferring bus to bus. If I clud improve more this system, first of all I would change the large busses for other ones smaller, because there are have been so much problems whit this size in streets, that the most of times make loose time, and in second place, I would allow admission in the bus paying throught money too, it would be so much useful to us.

Peca's the dog.

When I was a child, my brother beginning a relationship with a very cute girl named Paula, she had a nice dog that brought very often to my house, I was a child, so a get used to play whit the dog and vey soon I wanted one for me. My mom explain me that I was very little to be in charge of an animal, to look after it or take care of it, but I insisted, and one Christmas night I received a little dog, and I put it the name Peca. That was like eleven years ago, and it has became an important part of my family, almost like a new member, it was my friend when I was a child and now I love it, is so kindly! . Because is very small, it never had been mother, and last year it get very sick because of many tumors in the stomach that compressed part of it liver, so we had to brought it to the veterinary for make an operation that taked out all these tumors. Me and my family was very sad because we thought it was going to die, like many dogs that have the same complications, but luckily there was no troubles and suddenly it get better, and now is the same doggy that used to be.

my first semester

this first semester I have lived more things than I ever could thought, and I'm not talking about my career, is much more deeper than that, I think I have realized many things, one of them is that this university is my place, where I want to prepare my career and learn all things I have liked since ever. Well... the first part of the year I went to the pilates class, which is not a sport really, is like a sequence of rutines and exercises that makes your body looks more stretch and stronger, at least that I have heard, but whit me it didn't worked very well!

I think the most diffucult challenge was to become accustomed to this new rutine, whit all this things to do (and to read!) that, I cant not deny, maked me crazy the first months, but I get used little by little.

I lived greats experiences whit the people I met here, I have had lot of fun and I'm very happy whit that, my teachers are good to, although there are some that I can't understand and that makes me a little frustrated, I hope I finish this semester with good reviews off everything, and of course with good califications.

my favourite contry

My favourite country is France. Since I was a child, I always have been a big fan of this country and my childhood dream is make a big trip to Paris, capital of France, and to know the historical places that I have learn in school. It’s not too much the knowledge I have of there, I have studied some historical facts like the French revolution and the features of this reigns, and actually I would like to visit many typical places to know more of their culture and history if I make a trip someday. The most intriguing place to me is the Versailles Palace, I would visit it in first place, and then I would go to the Eiffel Tower, I’d like to make a walk in afternoon for different neighbourhoods, to know a little more about their streets designs and stiles. Although I like very much this country, I wouldn’t like to study there, because that place is very far of my home and my family, and also is very expensive, I prefer, in that case, to study here in Chile and graduate, then make a master and if I want to continue studying, go to another country (it can be France or any other) to make a PHD. Something that I know that I going to do when I finish my career, is to travel for work in France or some country of Europe, well, if fate allows it.

My ideal Job

My ideal job is psychologist. That’s why I’m in university right now, and I can’t think in other job for doing of the rest of my life. Since y was a little girl y wanted to be a psychologist, actually I wanted much more to be a psychiatrist, but when I grew up I realize that my true love was psychology. Well, I think I have very much qualities to do it right, I don’t want to boast about being good, but I ever had thought that my aptitudes are in a good level. I don’t think to find this job would be difficult, actually I think it will be very simple and if I complete my career, there won’t be nothing that stands in my way, my way to find exit. If I wouldn’t like my University or my life, what I’m doing or whatever, I would be worried and insecure about my future and the ideal job for the rest of my life, but right now, I’m a very happy student and I like psychology, so as long as I like it, I will be very sure that this is my ideal job, and nothing could make me though other thing.
Well, that’s what I think, I hope you like my text! Bye!

my blog experience

This blogging experience has been my first, so initially I didn’t know how to use this technological tool, since I was a child I write about my personal experiences but I didn’t want to make me a blog because I feel uncomfortable when the other people reads about me and my thoughts…anyway, this was a university work so I accepted it and made me one. Through the semester I could see how my vocabulary grew up and made more specific, but no in all its scale, only a bit part, and to be honest, I didn’t enjoyed writing in english every week, most days I feel stressed and angry for couldn’t finish at time, and I never had thought this “writing class” makes any different in my vocabulary, I thing is much more efficient to work whit a book like in “normal” classes, so I think it help me improve my english but I would have preferred other ways to learn.
Of the blog experience, I think it has many advantages; to work under pressure (in a delimitated time) can make students pay all the attention that this class requires, and that can be good for the vocabulary development and to reinforce their skills. In my point of view, doing the blog also can be a bad learning experience, because, like I explained before, it can result a stressing experience, especially when the students are finalizing their semester and need a lot of time to concentrate in all subjects at the same time. This is my personal experience, and I know there are people who don’t think like me, including my classmates. Anyway, in my personal opinion of the entire course, I think it was very complete and although I don’t understand people talking british english, I basked doing the activities in the book and in the classroom.
