My best (and exhausting) holidays

Ok, this blog entry it’s going to be very difficult for me, because I don’t know how to decide which one of my holidays has been the best I ever had.  But if I have to choose, I would say Río Cipreses 2006 were my best holidays.

I went there on December ’06 with my mom, dad and brother.  We traveled by car in a long, long  trip from our house in Santiago to camp in a place near Rancagua. It doesn’t seem like a very large distance, but the road was full of stones and potholes, so it lasted, like, forever.

Anyways, we  finally arrived to our destination,  in order to find a place that was full of bugs and bushes. As we love to camp, it didn’t seem so much trouble, until we realized that the bathrooms (oh God, the bathrooms) were very rustical and didn’t have any comforts. As the day passed by, we get used to it and started to explore the surroundings places, until we discovered that we could climb a hill near to the camping.

One day, we decided to climb up the hill, and after a very risky cliff (we had our backs right up against the hill), we found a very beautiful waterfall, surrounded by a tiny lake. We were completely amazed; no one ever was expecting to find a waterfall right in the middle of a hill! After a very exhausting and uncomfortable experience, that was our reward. So that’s why there were the best holidays ever <3. 

New York, New York.

At first, it was very very difficult for me to decide which country I wanted to visit, because there are so many places that I want to go but after a while I discovered that there is one place I always wanted to see, New York. I don’t really like the idea of going to the States, but this particular city is not like the country itself. It mixes a lot of different cultures and language; in fact, it is considered the capital of the world. Besides, a lot of artists and writers go to NY to show their work.

Actually, I don’t know so much about the city but it has been always on my mind because one of my friends moved there like ten years ago. Also, it appears in one of my favorite series (How I Met Your Mother) and I’m kinda in love with its architecture and stuff.

If I ever go to New York, I would like to visit the Empire State building, the Chrysler building, the Museum of Modern Art and the Zoo, use the subway, go to Broadway or just go for a walk in the Fifth Avenue or Central Park.

I would like to live there, because in my opinion it’s one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the world. 

First Term

Last semester I had five subjects: Sociology, Psychology, History, Anthropology and Methodology. At first I thought that it was going to be a difficult semester, because of the large amount of texts we had to read, but then I realized it wasn’t that hard. Also, I was scared because of my laziness and disorganization, but it didn’t cause me any trouble. I didn’t read not even half of what I was supposed to, but I learnt a lot of other things in class and the conversations I had with my classmates. I can summarize my semester in one word: Postmodern.

I didn’t do any sports or exercise last semester, but I want to practice a sport because I feel like I’m turning into a couch potato. Although, I had lots of fun because sports are not my thing and I wasn’t obliged to practice any of them.

One of the most challenging moments I had to face last term was the exam period. It was a very stressful time, because I piled up (and didn’t read, of course) almost every text of the semester.
