The first term of this year

The first term of this year was very important and productive for me. My classes  was interesting and more practical, besides the activities of the differents subjects include many interviews to different people, i am very shy so to interview helped me to improve this area.

Other new experience of the first term  was have a job, it was the first time i have a real job, i was seller in a small natural beauty products store, in Providencia. Unfortunatelly, my current Schedule impede me to have a job, so sad… because i really liked work in that place and have extra money. The negative part of work was have non time to go out with friends, because i worked Thursdays and Fridays.

I think that time was a time to learn and to be more like an “adult”, it was difficult but i am so happy  about it, because today i am a better person.

VIVA LA VIDA!

I like many, many rock bands and singers, but I am not a fan of anything. I don´t  like it. In addition most of the time are specific songs that I like, not groups. However, if I had to choose, I choose Coldplay because it is the band that I like all the songs (though not all the songs I hear with the same pleasure).

Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in 1996 (in London). The band members are Chris Martin, Jon Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion.

Coldplay has always been an active group of several political and social causes. This is one of the reasons because I like them. Other reason is their songs make me fell peace, happiness, only Coldplay make me feel that way.

My favorite song is life in Technicolor II, besides the letter and lovely melody this song has an amazing video J

Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist (USA) known as one of the founders of humanistic psychology, a psychological tendency that postulates the existence of a basic human tendency toward mental health, which would manifest as a series of self-seeking process.

Maslow was jewish, and he felt different to be jewish. For this reason he always felt sad and alone in his childhood. I write this because maybe was important for his future work.

The most important work of Maslow (besides humanistic psychology) is  Maslow's pyramid of needs, this model suggested a hierarchy of human needs, in which the satisfaction of basic needs leads to the generation of higher needs.

I like Maslow work because I think before him psychologist didn´t think about happiness or people well-being. Maslow didn´t look for diseases, abnormalities or pathologies, he had a positive view of human being and I like it. I really hope i´ll not be a sick psychologist, finding diseases where there are none. That is sad and ridiculous. Is better looking for ways of health.

The last one

I am so happy thinking this is the last work in English! I don´t want to be mean, but I am so tired… I just want vacations.

When I started this year with English 3, I wasn´t motivate because many people told me that take English in University is a waste of time. Then I realized that is not true. I really enjoy my English classes and blogging too. Topics were interesting (most of them), and this make me use English and remember all my English grammatical knowledge (these things are forgotten easily).

The advantages of blogging in the English class are:
First, we can say what we want say. This is important because we look for the way of express ourselves, sometimes is difficult find the right words to do it or find ways to say something easily, according to our abilities.

And the disadvantages of blogging in English are that if we make a mistake while writing we don`t realized. So, maybe we don´t learn too much.

Well… this is the end :( but I really, really hope that we continue together the next semester with the same miss :) (not Thursdays afternoon would be better)

Goodbye everyone.

Autumn

First I have to say I hate the days of summer with all my heart. I hate the sun, hate the heat ... I'm allergic to the sun, then in the spring and summer I have to walk always with sunscreen in my bag. Besides, sweat makes me feel dirty all day.

Because of my allergies I try not go out much during the day in summer, and as a result of this I gain too much weight. May sound very unfeminine, but another thing I stressed in summer is always having to be shaved...

Well, because of all this my favorite season is autumn. It's the season of my birthday, it's very pretty with the leaves falling ... I love coats, boots, scarves, gloves ... and to use all that I don`t need worry about my weight.

What I do in fall is to take a lot of tea, watch movies on my bed and walk without sweating :) I love it!

Good thing about the summer I met here in Santiago is go out at night to dance or drink something, is very nice ... as the major problem of autumn-winter is that when you go dancing has to be drawn a lot of clothes that do not know where to put!

My favorite place

I have two sisters and a brother, so i never had a bedroom  for me, i mean a place to be alone.

Then, when i arrived to Santiago i lived in different places but finally i found the little flat where i live now. Here there are three bedrooms, i have the big one J with a queen size bed (this place come with its own furniture) a big closet and a little tv.

Now this is my favorite place, here i sleep, study, read, watch tv, use my notebook, and other things. I really like my bedroom because it is mine, only mine!! i keep it very clean, everything is purple and white and everything has a determined place.

This is a really relaxing bedroom (maybe is the white bedspread) and is the best place ever when i want to have an afternoon nap, because i have a dark purple drape, so this is like night.

This bedroom means something to me because here my past and my present are togheter, if any other person get in my bedroom she/he will see me, all i am is reflected in this place.

Culture, magic and food

When i was younger i dreamed with an entire life of travels, knowing the world, living in any other country. My mother was an important influence to me about this dream, her father leaved Chile 30 years ago, he live in Italy where he achieved a comfortable life (this never would happened here). So, my mom always thought about Europe and all its charm.

The problem started when I realized I never could leave my family, my friends and lately (when I get one) my boyfriend. Then I decide live a modest life and save money to travel anyway, this is a fact for me, I know i`ll do it. I want to know many places, but there are three countries that I think they are most interesting than others: Ireland, England and Italy.

First, Ireland is a really beautiful and magic place. I`m in love with Celtic culture and obviously Ireland is the place for know the real celtic culture.

Second, I love England: castles, history, music, fashion, green hills. The strange, funny, elegant accent. There is so much to know! Besides, I want to walk in every place mentioned in Harry Potter  <3

Finally, there is something that the aforementioned countries don`t have… good food! I want to know Italy because I am a fan of its food; I love pastas and pizzas. Obviously Italy has many other things to know, but I would be lying if I said I want to know it for other thing.
