English...


I do not know why I've always cost a lot to learn English. Since high school my worst notes were the "English" course. So maybe you like in high school is a great challenge to learn English at the University. This year 2013 I had to make the English III and English IV so it was a lot of work because I struggled to retake the English after 2 years when the 2011 English III did, but only for 1 tenth flunked. It was a very sad timeL.
The English of the university did not seem very good overall. Well, my secondary school was much worse, it gave me hardly talked contents or English, but in any case they waited much English at the University. That definitely did not learn everything I had thought. Logically as a student is not the best, so there is a responsibility shared.

The Blogs are very entertaining, especially when there are free post. I find it a very necessary exercise to learn to write in English. More to learn to listen in English. It is a priority.
Definitely I have to improve two important things in my career:

1.        My reading comprehension. This improved a lot during the year with the courses, but I still need to understand complex texts or more sociological.
2.        My pronunciation. There are words that do not yet know well.

Out of English classes is what I do sometimes listen to some music in English. I'm currently listening quite a Artic Monkeys.


I'll put more effort to learn English, I promise.

Some of the 2013


It is never too comfortable making statements. At least for me. Anyway, it's always good to review how we did in the year.

Of the good things that happened is that in general at university I was fine. In fact, should be the year with better scores than I have. It was also a good year with my girlfriend. It we carry nearly two years together and each day is always better and more beautiful. If Fran had been with me certainly would be much more difficult. It is a great support to me, the most important woman. One of the best things was the trip we took earlier this year to Patagonia. It was the furthest journey we made ​​together, getting to travel more than 500 miles south of Coyhaique. Knew places like Coyhaique, Cerro Castillo, Puerto Tranquilo, Caleta Tortel, Cochrane, Chile Chico and other really beautiful places.



My parents have been super good, so that side also all quiet. My sister give PSU this year so now we're all nervous!

I think of things I did not like this year is the process I experienced in my relationship with my career and my University. Was a very demotivating that made me going very far to enjoy the race, as they have been in recent years.  What happened is that I was very anxious to finish career soon. I have the feeling that I was too much sociology haha 

What I failed to do? I think we spend more time with my friends from Rancagua. I was a long time here in Santiago.


I hope that 2014 is definitely better than this year.

Graneros

Graneros City

Well, I was not so sure what to write this time. I do it FECH elections, but I decided to write about my hometown: Graneros.

Graneros is a small town in northern of the O'Higgins Region. Today it has around twenty thousand inhabitants and is located 11 miles north of Rancagua and 80 south of Santiago. It is a generally calm city and some might think it's boring. For a long time I thought it was boring until I came to live in Santiago and now find it boring but really miss the quiet.

Graneros are in the downtown area Chilean and is very hot in summer. I disgust much heat, so in summer it I lose love for barns haha, well, that happens also in Santiago. What happens is that Barns is hotter than James but less disagreeable, because we must not move too much to go anywhere. In Barns you can walk anywhere. In the square, the stadium, to the road, railway line, to take the bus to Rancagua, a pub, and so on.

I studied only up to eighth grade in Barns, and then I went to the high school Oscar Castro in Rancagua. Just so it seemed good in general in those years did not miss Graneros.
I do not know if I would recommend going to Graneros. A panorama that has not. Rather it is to be in a place very different from others.


As data freak known granerinos I can mention: The best ever Gabriel “Coca” Mendoza, Buddy Richard and Mario Guerrero.  If someone wants to go from Santiago or south, should take the train as there is a station in barns.
