The New Year Cabals

Hi everybody

Today I going to talk about new year. The new year it's really close so I want to dedicate this blog to my experiences with the cabals in new year. I came from a family that have many traditions for the new year. Since I was a little kid my mom and my aunts made different cabals for call to the good things in the new year. So here is a list with some of they.

1- Eat a spoon full of lentils. You have to it lentils just cooked without dressing. My aunts always make me eat this. It's so disgusting, but they believe that if you eat lentils you never lack anything.

2- Dress a yellow under wear. Since I'm a little kid my aunts always make me use a yellow underwear that they give to me. This cabal i'ts for you have energy during the all year.

3- Put some piece of gold (rings of something like that) in a glass of champagne. My aunts say that this is for have money in the all year.

4- The first gretting have to be for the someone of the opposite sex. My aunts wil never forget me getting they before a man do that. The believe that it's bad luck to hug to someone of the same sex.

5- Clean the house. This cabal it's for the bad things of the past year go away and could came the good things from the new year.

6- One of the most I like it's take a shower on the sea. It's for the bad energy go away from your body.

I don´t believe in all this, but in some way this are part of my family and I have affection for they.
I hope this year we are all together with my family and could do this cabals again.

Last Blog of the semester

Hi everybody

I start my English courses in the level two. Since the first class I learn so much about English. I thing that the most important thing that i learn in English was daring to talk. It was really difficult to me because I'm kind of shy and I believe that speaking it's one thing that don't use to teach at the school. My teachers (Belén, Álvaro y Neha) have been really good teacher. One of the thing that I consider important for a teacher it's that can make a pleasant place where the student can performance comfortably and I think that they did it.

I thing that for make better and more successful the classes, English school should change the schedules because, for example, this semester we over the classes at 7:30 pm and we are really tired. In my opinion the willingness of the students will be better if we are more rest. 

Nowadays the english it's increased used in my classes. This semester I had to read a lot of papers in english, I believe that the courses of english are really handy for the student. Also I believe that english it's really important for the life. You never know if some day you will need it.

Personally I love the languages and I would like learn many more. It's a way to know other cultures and It's impressive how the human being has been able to make different ways to communicate. 

I'm really happy for all what I learn in english and I hope that take other courses of language be so easy like take English.

Am I green?

Hi everybody!

Today I going to talk about how green I am. I have to confess that I`m not too green. I think that I would like to be greener. The first time that I heart about nature care was when I was in primary school. I was about 10 years old and a green organization was to give us a talk and show us some videos. I have to say that I remember this experience until now. It was really important to understand how important the environment care is.

 I think that a good way to people learn about environment it`s teaching them form earliest age. First at home and second in the school. This both places are a major significance to children. 

I don`have too many recycling habits incorporated in my life, but I do a couple of things. I try to use reusable bags when I go to buy or when I want to keep o carry things. When I have to print something I try to do it for both parts of the paper. Since I little kid my mom recycle the clothes. She gives the clothes that me, she and my brothers don´t use more. 

Nowadays I use the public transport, but I`m making money to buy a bike. I thing that bikes give us too many benefits. You can make exercises while you transport and at the seam time you caring the environment. 

I have never belong to a eco-organisations. The truth it`s that I don`t have time enough to study and help in the team. But if some day are the conditions to do it, I will. 

I think that as a society we have a difficult task. I believe that people don`t know much about nature care. I hope some day this situation change and people star to care and respect their environment.

My 2014

Hi everybody!

Today I going to talk about my experiences in this year. So far my 2014 has been a wonderful year. I think that I haven`t such good year since a couple of years before. 

This have been a good year firstly because my family and friends are all fine. It`s my second year far away home, but I`m peaceful because I know that everybody are okay there. 

The past year I learn "how be a university student". So, the second thing that I like of this year it`s that I face the university calmer. I enjoy this year, even when this fourth semester it´s really difficult because I know how works the university and I know better to myself. Now I know how and when study, when I need a break or when I need a distraction. 

Third, this year I consolidated my friendship with some classmates. So, now I feel better in general. They are my support  when the things get complicate, and also they are my partners when we have time to spend together. 

Also this year I took a dance course and my finally english. I feel really pride of myself because I learn and enjoy this courses. The next year I will can take my electives relax because I have a couple of extra courses and I will not have problems with the schedules, or at least I hope that.

But the most important thing it}s that my niece was born this year. She make me and my family happier. We al are really "chochos" because of her. 

Despite the difficult things of this year, most of experiences during this period have been pretty good to me. So I`m really thankful for all the good things that I have live in this year and I hope that the next year be better.

My favorites seasons

Hi Everybody

Today I going to talk about spring and summer. This seasons are my favorite seasons  along with the summer. I love spring because the vegetation blossoms and looks really beauty. Also in this season star to appear different kind of fruits that was not in the other seasons.

In addition to what a just mention the temperature increase. There are people who loves cold weather condition, but I love the warm weather. You can go out to park, ride a bike, swim in a pool and other thinks like that. Also the day are longer because the sun goes down later.

Other good thing about the spring is that in this season the classes over and star the vacations. And in summer I´m in vacations. So in this season a can travel, visit my friends and family. I can go to the beach, go out in the night. In general have a good time and the most important think: I can Sleep. It sounds like something common, but sometimes in the semester you don´t have time to do it. So in general you can relax and take a break.

 So, these are my favorite seasons. I love them

My dream job

Hi everybody. Today I will talk about my dream job. As you know I´m studying psychology and until now I love it. I´m not sure in what area I going to specialize in, but I think that it may be health psychology or older adult. 

But in both case I would like to work in a hospital or a health center with a interdisciplinary team. This because I think that with a team you can give to the patient a complete and organized attention. I think that should be I hard work because the emotional charge. But since I start to study this career and before I wanted to work in something that really could make someone elses life better. 

I love to travel, but I will have to let the travel for the holidays because I don´t believe that this work and the travel are compatible. Sadly this is a work indoor, but It´s no too bad because I will be doing what I love to do. So probably I will have a office and all this kind of things. 

I will love studying a major related with older adult or health psychology. I hope to do it someday. 

So, those are my plans. I don´t know if someday I will do it or if I change it. But no matter what I decide, I wish it make me happy.

Valle del Elqui

Hi everybody

Today I going to talk about my favorite place in Chile. It´s kind of hurt to decide because I know just some places of this beautiful country, but I will choose of what I could visit. 

I´m from Copiapó, but this time I will trick it because my favorite place is Valle del Elqui. This Valley it´s located in Coquimbo Region. The Valley has little towns. The tree most important towns are Paihuano, Cochiguaz and Pisco Elqui. 

The first time that I visited Valle del Equi I went to Pahiuano, but my favorite town is Pisco Elqui. the first time that i went to Pisco Elqui I did it with my brother and my cousin. We camped and in the camping we meet to many people. It was a really nice trip.

I love Pisco Elqui, first, because it´s a small town and it´s really quiet and calm. The people are really friendly and welcoming. You can go out in the night to walk for the streets and you can be relax because everything are secure. 

In second place, I love Psico Elqui because it´s really beautiful and you can breath really fresh air. Pisco Elqui have a beautiful river, the Elqui river, and you can go to take a dip in that place. 

On of the things that I like the most it´s the night sky. I just love it. The sky are clean and you can see crystal clear the moon and the stars. It´s wondrous.

I´m planning to come back this year and probably I will visit that place many many times. Probably there´s too many beautiful places in Chile, but Valle del Elqui have all characteristics that I look for a place.

PD: Like a advice, I have to say that the road it´s horrible. Although It have too many bends. Just a really good driver should drive for that way.
