Chilean character

I don't know if there really is a greatest Chilean of all times, if I had to choose I cuoldn't pick one in special, could you? 
Maybe if it's a character it wolud be easier to choose one because it's fiction, but in reality I don't think  there is one that overcomes all the others persons.
After saying that, so I can have something to talk about in this entrance of my blog I will choose a fiction character.
So... one of the greatest would be for me "Profesor Rosa" :)
Now, I know that his profile has changed from the show that he maid in my childhood.
I´ve already talk about his show made for childs in the previous course of english because I think it´s a really good character and tipicaly chilean for us that got to see him in those programs and now see him in another area of tv programs, like "Mentiras Verdaderas" on it fridays special called "Viernes Sin Censura" 

He started doing childs programs  but after a forbidden video he started toguether with Guru guru and Don Carter doing adults shows and programs, but now everyone of them work on their own.

I don´t know if he´s really like an important chilean person, but at least for me when I was a child he was :B

If I fet to see hime again, this time like a journalism student I would ask him if he doesn´t miss the program that he made for childs, the animals investigation and the blackboard where he draw animals and get childrens learning about the animal world in a fun way. Something that now in our country doesn´t exist.

I hope you remember him too :)

Practicing for PEt test

Hello everyone, after a long time without writting to you I have to talk to you about a practicing test I just did.

This practice is ment to prepare us for the final exam that's called PET, it's made of a lot of little test that see how are you doing in your english capacities.

Pet evaluates your skills on reading, listening, vocabulary, and language, all of this in the correct english form. 

In my case I just realice that I have some problems in some of this areas. I think my biggest problems were in the language part and also in the second part of the listening section that's were I`ve got the lowest scores.

but the good part is that I got complete score in the reading part, I guess that this is because this part is the one that we most practice in classes and in general life when we got to be in front og english words.

I hope I can improve the parts where I have problems from here to the end of this englis course, otherwise I'll have to do this level of english again :(. 

I wish you ghad better luck than I!

First day at the university

Well, this time I will talk with all of you about my first day at the university.

It was here, in the ICEI in 2010. A strange beginning of semester because of the earthquake that shocked us the twenty seventh of February and that put us a mark because there wasn’t Cartagua that year :/.

After some difficulties in the beginning of the year we finally started classes the third week of April and they were really strange, at least for me because you don´t really know who is going to teach you or how they are going to treat you in classes and in the evaluations.At least in my school we all knew each other so it was comfortating, but in this place everything was new.

So, the first day was strange in the classes, but not in the breaks because our generation of journalism made a reunion before we started classes. Around March to most of us, around 40, came to the reunion without knowing each other and to get to knew at least our names ajajja.At least in that part it wasn’t so strange because I saw familiar faces in some of the classes and after it, in the breaks we were all reunited to take a cup of coffee and try to get that sleeping face away.

I have to say at first I was out of place and felt really uncomfortable in the classes, but after it I got to speak with a lot of nice people, but I don’t specially remember with who I was talking to on my first day of university.

I remember drinking a lot of coffee and feeling overwhelm with all the books that I had to read, but after those first days of uncertainty everything went better than expected.

Parrilladas!

The Fiestas Patrias were specially long this year, they lasted all five days, in some cases they were longer because people, between some of them two my relatives that took extra days off from work for this holyday.

I will talk about this recently past fondas because they were really special. In this opportunity we, has a family, received a traveler. My oldest cousin (he is already 34!) came from Spain that is where he lives to visit us for this holydays.

We get to see him after 3 long years so it was a really important moment and with tears and all, tears of happiness of course jajaja.

What we did was simple, we spend the more time we could with him, talking about his life and how it has been for him to be away from us and how difficult it has been for us to don’t have him near.

Every day we were making parrilladas in different houses of my family, so after the first two days I didn’t want to see another piece of meat, it was so much food.

Beside my family, in two of the nights I went to fondas with my friends, but it was so crowded and there was only meat everywere so after the 18 I choose to eat only vegetables and some soups.

I really enjoyed it because I had a lot of activities and I get to spend a lot of quality time with my family in honor that was my cousin in the country, something that didn’t happened in a long time. So this Fiestras Patrias were the best that I had in a really long time! J

My best friend

My best friend is named Ximena :)

She has been my best friend for almost five years now and I hope there will be a lot more years having her friendship because we have great time together and always laugh of almost everything. 

We meet at school, when we were on "alianzas" that's how it's named the celebration that we have in my school and they last a full week in September, but before of the presentations of activities we prepare them for almost half a year for that moment. I met Ximena preparing one of those activities because we were in charge of some coreographies.

We have a lot of things in common, like the love for animals. ALso a lot of our friends are the same and all of our close circle of people now each other. The both of us love going to the theatre and music concerts, also going to the cinema is one of our favorites hobbys. 

A strange thing is that our personalities are really different, for not saying opposite, wath I thing makes us eaven better friends because we complement each other.

Sadly she doesn't have much time now because she's finishing her teacher career and this consumes almost all of her time, without counting that the two of us have boyfriends. jajajajja. For  mostly this reasons I see her once every two weeks.

Here I will put for you a picture of us in our last vacations together♥ :)

 

Starting 2012

Hello!

This monday I'll write about how it was for me the first semester of this year in a lot of subjects.

In the studies I learned a lot of sides of journalism, specially on radio. Working in it was a great time for me, specially doing a radio show and producing it gaved me a lot of experiences that will be usefull when I get my journalism degree.

In other subject, I get to use a lot of free time to spend quality time with my family, wath I couldn't do for a lot of time past year because I was working. 

On winter vacations I spend really good hours going to the cinema with my boyfriend and finally get some free time to see him :).

A big challenge that I had last semester, and also always in my life, is to found the time to do everything I have to do and also that I want to do, time that I have problems to find, overall when we're in classes at the university.

The most serious problem that I had was the illnes of my grandmother, a problem that still exist and I hope it goes away soon.

I hope this semester goes better that how it started because I had some troubles in the beggining of it and I wish that bad luck gets away as soon as possible.

Write you next monday! :)

My vision of Santiago

This semester things are a little different from the first of this year.

Now that we are on a strike and only have the english class is time to start writting on the blog again.

In this opportunity I'll be talking about the city where I live and where I'm from: Santiago of Chile.

What I really like about this city is that you can find a lot of different places to go in only one city, activities for all kind of people and also a variety of communities in their neighberhoods. I really enjoy to meet different people and find my self on a lot of situations that turn to be special while I'm walking or travelling around Santiago.

Insteade,what I really dislike, and specially on this moment of my live is the lack of security that streets gives you on Santiago, robberys are usuall and the protection from Carabineros(the police of Chile) isn't really helpfull, instead they even act against the own citicens that they should protect, for example on marchs. This gives you a lot of insecurities at the moment that you decide to go out in the city.

Try to change this last part will make things really better inthe city, and Santiago will be able to become a better place to live, but only maybe, because I cuold be a long time sitting here writting you about what can be improved in the capital of Chile.

Now, if you are coming to Santiago like a visitor you have to be shure of take really good care of your personal things and to don't walk in really lonely places that can put you on risk. That for me could be the most important cares you should have when you visit Santiago of Chile.
