teachers

When i was in playgroup i had a teacher who was like a mom for us. She was always worried about us (in a good way), if we did the right things in class, like answering nice or having a good behavior  she gave us gifts (like candies) so at the time I thought I wanted to be like her, I wanted to be a teacher. This didn’t last much; maybe because I couldn’t imagine myself in a class with lots of children, I am not a very patient person.  In middle school I have a teacher who taught us language.  She was a powerful woman, always concerned of our learning, and giving us books to read, to be more intelligent. I admired her, she knew about everything, and you could talk to her about anything, she will never said no to a conversation, even if it was not about the class. Again I stared to have doubt about my future; maybe being teacher will not be that bad. But, in our society everyone knows that it’s a badly paid job, so I gave up to that idea. Anyway, I’ve had many good teachers in school, who acted more like parents and psychology than teachers, but that make me realized than being a professor is so much more than giving class, and that’s is way I admire them. 

valdivia, amigos, risas

In my free post I will talk about my trip to Valdivia for the film festival. Until now we have been very lucky, because everything, in terms of food, housing, etc. has worked perfectly.
So, i'm only going to tell you about the funny stuff.
First the bus: a friend arrived drunk, very drunk, so you can probably imagine how the trip was. Besides she brought more alcohol to share with everyone, so as soon as the bus started we began drinking. In about 30 minutes time an old man had already complained about our behaviour.
Then things calmed down a little, everyone went to sleep.
At 10 o'clock, approximately, we arrived, we took a taxi and went to the cabin. The first day we spent it walking around sightseeing, had lunch at the Última Frontera, while we were there another classmate showed up, to collect his credencial for the festival. It seemed he had sniffed some strong thing. At night we went to a club near the Municipalidad, called Gaz-Gaz. it was the official place to party assigned by the festival. It was full of sugar daddys and people of the university.
The second day we watched movies and went to gaz gaz again. There we saw our teacher's helpers, who were an epidemic. Anyway, we partied with them.
The third day was the same.
The fourth day we went to a different place to party, but honestly i can barely differentiate one night from another
In spite of everything it has been a good experience to share with my friends, and followers, thankssssssss

the planet

I don’t see myself as an eco-friendly person, but i try to do some things to contribute to the environment. I thing is important to star taking care of the place where we live, because If we don’t worry about that, the generation in the future will have to pay for our mistakes. It is known that planet is passing through a difficult moment, in the Antarctic the glaciers are melting, in other parts the summer is too long. So it is important to create a clean culture now.

I used to study in Providencia, there the mayor makes lots of plans to keep clean the comuna. The municipality put trash in every corner, in schools there were plans to recycle paper and the garbage’s truck passes frequently. So he tried to make a difference in that way. In my house we separate out trash to take it into the garbage at supermarkets. That is something everyone should do. Other thing people should star to do more often is using the bicycle or a different means of transport instead of car or bus, those are more polluting. But people seems to not care about

I don’t belong to any eco-organization, because I consider that to be part of one you need time, or gives money every month, but I don’t trust in doing that, because not always the money goes where it supposed to go, so to make a change I prefer to do things by myself. 

11/9

I think is important to have an opinion because is something that, in spite of the 42 years that have pass, is until now a topic that for lots of people needs to be talked about.  My family wasn’t involved directly in the problem, with this I mean they didn’t have troubles, or missing friends at that time. My parents were very young at that time, but my grandmother and my grandfather remember lots of things. My grandmother (on my mom side) used to work at the Salvador’s hospital, and she told me she was there when was there when the body of Allende arrived. Nobody said anything and they weren’t allowed to ask questions, so that was what she did. Also Pinochet made nurses take the military service (that have benefits till now for her). However she is not happy with his dictatorship and thinks that he was a murder.

In my personal opinion I think that it doesn’t matter how many years ago it happened, till people who were responsible of all crimes that took place at the time speak, people will always be hurt. And it’s important, as a community to support them and their fights. I put myself in the case of having a missing relative and probably I would do the same things that they do. But I don’t think that violence is the answer to this, or a way to make “them” talk. Is more like a way to express the anger of people who the only thing that want is answers. 

fondas

Since always I had loved these parties, I think is because they are like little vacation in the middle of the year. When I was little I used to spend these days with my family at the beach, but now I prefer to stay in Santiago or go to the beach, but with my friends. Last year we went to Pichilemu (with my school friends) but this year we all did different things, because of the strike our holidays were altered.  This year I stayed in Santiago, and I went to different “fondas” that take place here. On Wednesday I was going to go to the fonda minera, but because of the earthquake I could (I’ve fear of them), so I stay in home. On Thursday I went to a disco with my friends who stayed here like me (who were just a few). On Friday I was going to a party in Bellavista but there was all full, so finally I didn’t. And finally on Saturday in the morning I went with my parents to the fondas in parque intercomunal La Reina and in the afternoon I went to Parque O’higgins to see Villa Cariño (a band).

I have to say that this was no my best 18, but at least I could spent time with friends that I can barely see during the year, because our schedule doesn’t match. And, as I stayed in Santiago I have time to be with my family, because they celebrated the 18^th at my house. 

A PLACE I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Travelling is one of the things I like to do the most. I tried to do it often, because somehow it helps me to relax. Now, there is no place I would like to visit desperately, because all my life I dreamed with going to Venezia and last month I went there with my family. In spite of this there are places in Chile that I don’t know, but I want to, like the Paine’s towers or Atacama’s salt flat. Chile have different places with different weathers, so you can go to the beach or to the dessert, and I think that is an important thing we should take advice of.  

I would like to, in the future, study in Spain, altought Chile will always be an option for me, because I love it. But in Madrid or Barcelona, my career is more important so there I can learn more things than here.
