A country I would like to visit




Hello! Today I’m going to tell you about something that I really love: travel around the world. But before, I must share with you the special meaning that such activity has for me. First of all, for me go travelling has nothing to do with a comfortable and expensive vacation in a picturesque country. The most important thing in a travel is to create a learning space. Under that conception, it doesn't matter where you go, because in every place you can get knowledge. The only thing you need for it is the desire.
A country that I want to visit very much is Chile. And I use the word “visit” because even though I live in Chile, I don’t feel that I know it. Therefore, I would like to take a bicycle and travel across its volcanoes, towns, and islands. In such places I would like to know the people who live there, learn about their music, poetry and job; more than anything I would like to understand more about their relationship with the nature.

The Peculiar Term



Hello! I would like to tell you about this new and peculiar term that we have.
First of all, I have to recognize that my expectations of it are not that high. The short time that we have, and the huge amount of knowledge that we have to learn on it, doesn’t seems to me very bearable really. However, this year has been a very important one for the history of the Chilean education, and the good things we’ll reap in the future are going to make all this lost time worth it, sooner or later…
The subjects that I’m taking now are: Social Psychology, Social investigation’s Methodology, Social History of Latin America, Philosophy of Social Science, Statistics and English. All of them are very interesting and I have a lot to read about them.
It feels rare to study in summer/Christmas, but nothing else. I really like what I do in the university, and I like too all the people that I have known.   So it feels rare, but at the same time it feels really good.
Finally, I would like a very dynamic class, with a lot of talking, videos and music.
c-u!
