jijijí :)

My experience in this class has been enriching and so nice! For me, sincerely, the English is not my favorite subject since school, but in this semester I have been able to know my mistakes when I talk, and I have learned so much talking with my partners. Also, the conversations have been so funny and interesting along the semester.

I think the great responsible of this situation is the teacher, because he encourages us to speak about different topics: drugs, studies, money, vegetables, love, job, sex, and so on (that is to say, life itself). Those conversations have been so interesting, because this makes us deviate from any pattern we have in our minds: move from one topic to another, making us improvise. Also, Álvaro has been so attentive to our concerns, and SO funny.

On the other hand, writing blogs have been a great exercise for me. When I started to write about the activities, I think that is a good exercise to learn to express in written form some assessment about general topics of my life, and what I think about different situations. This is important for my learning process because it compels me to think in English, and form a phrase with these notion.

Finally, I hope to pass this course because if I don´t get it, I will not be able go out from this university!! (haha).

¿2015? :c

I´ve had better years than this, but also this year 2015 has been good to me in some academic topics: I´ve done lot of assistantships at Facso (in the subject of General Psychology, Personality and Psychological Theories and Systems), in “Universidad Del Desarrollo” (subject of Chilean Poetry) and as a Tutor in Bachillerato. Also, in the church I´ve made a lot of works: in Christian´s Camps I´ve been biblical counselor in summer and I´ve worked in the music´s department of my church, every Saturday and Sunday; I´ve been in a biblical institute to learn Theology and teach, in the church, my brothers and sisters. Lastly, I´ve been attending a poetry workshop every Monday; there we have read lot of authors and lot of poems, since Baudelaire to Fernando Pessoa.

Well: in general, my life is so stressful for all the things I do. Therefore, my leisure time is so important for me: I play table tennis since I was eight years, and I love playing it. It relaxes me and I enjoy so much laughing and joking with my friends and other players. Also I take my time with my friends and colleagues in my career to know them and share experiences and readings.

Next year, I will do my training and my last courses at Facso, and maybe the year 2016 will be worse than 2015 for all the different (and new) things that I will do. This is my highest challenge in my career, and I hope to do it well.

Summer time?

Summer plans? Sincerely I´m not a person that has so many options to go on vacations in summer. Generally, my summer plans are looking for movie with my little sister, read many novels, find a part time job  and sleep. Yes: especially sleep. Sleep ten hours at least.

Normally, I usually go to the beach in summer with my family to my uncle´s house in Algarrobo; what I normally do in this place is … sleep. Well, also I go swimming in the beach and play cards with my cousins, play videogames and talk a lot about life. BUT what I usually do the most  is sleep. Sleep deeply.

I believe that is possible because I work so hard during the year: I must study and read a lot, and spend all my day at the university, talking with teachers and different students; making classes or exposing texts in study groups.

So, the summer to me is a possibility to recharge my energies and start the academic year optimally.

But, lately, I have worked at different Christian camps. Last summer I worked in two camps as a biblical counselor: One in Pirque and the another in Lican Ray. I was two weeks in each one, and the experience was amazing (althought so much exhausting!); and was amazing because I learned so much of my Christian life and the life of different people.

So, finally, I think that probably I´ll work again in a camp but, maybe, only one week in Pirque and another in Lican.
