Evaluation of blogging experience

I liked having a blog this time. I used to have a blog when I was at school and it was very funny, because I'm a blog you can tell other people whatever you want, write about your life, your interests, the series you are watching, the books you are reading, I don't know, you can write about anything. And also you can read about other people and relate with people from other cities, even from other countries. I have forgotten about blogging, and I think is a good way of expression and to get fun.

And I think is a good thing to have these blog sessions, because I can read in English and I can understand a conversation, but I have always had difficulties with writing in English, it is harder to find the words and you can not know if you are fine with the grammar. The blog sessions have helped me with that, it is a little easier for me to write in English now.

I think the themes were interesting, but maybe it could be a good idea to have some sessions where each one can write about anything, I think maybe it is not necessary that all the class write about the same thing each session.

I also would have liked to write about the contingency, the news of the week, about what is happening in the world right now, and know what my classmates think about that things.

Summer plans

I don't really have summer plans yet. I'm a little bit desperate and I want to have vacations now, I'm tired and I hate the heat, above all when I am in classes or when I have to study with heat. But I haven't planned what I'm going to do on vacations.

I will finish my exams on january 11th and I am going to work in a buffet from january 15th to february 12th. I think it is going to be a good experience,  to learn how it is the work of a lawyer, and I also need the money because I don't have money to do anything on vacations.

In my family we have a rule: we always have to leave free two weeks in summer to spend it with the family. It doesn't matter if we stay at home these two weeks, actually we don't use to leve the city or travel abroad. But we have to spend would weeks together and we are free to do whatever we want the rest  of the vacations.

I don't know what I'm going to do the rest of the vacations. I only want to rest, watch TV series, read a novel, hang out with friends, because during the year I don't have enough time for them, and do nothing.

I think I will go to Concepción a couple of days. I lived there in 2011 and I go back whenever I can. I have friends there and one of them just had a daughter, so I want to go and meet her.

Christmas

Christmas is a very important holiday for me. I am catholic and all my family is catholic too, so for us Christmas is, above all, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, of the beginning of a new life, of the day the promises of God became true.

I always spend Christmas with my family. Every year we go to the very same Church, where we meet with so many known people and everyone wishes each other a happy Christmas and share good feelings. After that, we go home, have dinner and spend time together until 12 o'clock, when we give the presents.

I think that the most important thing of Christmas is to be with your family and celebrate.  Is a good day to say to others that you love them, care for them and wish them the best. And I think that's why I hate all the consumerism on Christmas, because for me Christmas is something much more deep than that. Presents are a good way to say to others that you love them, but that's all, the important thing is not the present but that you can be with the people you love.

I don't care about the presents really. Of course I like to receive presents and I really like to give presents, but I don't care if I don't receive a lot of them, and I don't have asked for something particular in the last, I don't know, five years. Anyway,  I don't like when I receive food as a present, because I like the presents that last in time and that show that you thought about it and about the person you are giving the present to.

TV show and series

I really like to watch TV series, there are so many good series to watch! But is very difficult for me to follow a serie, I don't have so much time to watch as many series as I would like and I neither can follow chapter by chapter. I used to watch TV series when I take a break of studying or I stay at home a friday's o saturday's night, and I can spend all the night watching series.

One of my favourite show is Sherlock, the one of the BBC. It's terrible because there are two or three years between each season, and each season has only three chapters, so you are waiting de next season for ages and when it is released, it only last a couple of hours. The show is very good, is funny, interesting, the acting is well achieved, the music is awesome, and is a very good adaptation of the original story.

I think that the pleasure of watching series is something that I inherited from my mom. She watch series all day long and follows a thousand of shows. She specially like the police ones and we use to watch police series together, like CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Cold Case. I like the series that has conclusive chapters, so you can watch just one, without having watched the previous, and understand what's going on.

The series that I watch when I take a break of studying are comedies with short chapters, like Friends, The Big Bang Theory or How I met your mother. Each chapter last 20 minutes, so I see one chapter, laugh a while and go on studying, it is my way of take a breath and relax a bit.

What I like of watching series is precisely that, there are so many different series, and each one is for a different moment, each one has a different function. There are series for every person and for every situation!

My future job

...

My favourite movie

When we decide to write about our favourite movie, I thougth about Big Fish, because is one of my favourites, I have seen it like a hundred times, I almost can repeat all the dialogues. But then I saw that the entry with the instructions has the poster of Big Fish, so I will talk of another movie jaja

I don't have one favourite cathegory of movies. I like comedy, drama, romance, animated movies, historic movies, adventure, fantasy, mistery, etc. The only type of movies that I really don't like is horror movies.

One of my favourite recent animated movies is How to train your dragon. I saw it for the first time the last year, I was a weekend night at my home, with nothing to do, so I decided to watch a movie, and I was looking for what to watch in Netflix and it appears in the news. I had heard good comments about it, so I decided to watch it and I loved it. The story is beautiful, the caracters are interesting and funny, the animation is well done. And then I saw the second part, How to train your dragon 2, and I loved it even more, the second parts are usually awful, but this one is very good. I am waiting for the third part.

The last movie that I watched was Witness for the prosecution, a very old movie, in black and white. I watched it because I had to for a class, and I like it very much. I like old movies because they used to be very theatral.

The best concert ever

The best concert in which I have ever been was the concert of Bruce Springsteen. It was two years ago (2013), in september 13th. I am a very big fan of Bruce Springsteen, I really love his music.

In his more than forty years of career, he had never performed a concert in Latin America, so I thought that I would never see him live. When I knew that he was going to visit Chile, I thought that I must go, it could be an unique opportunity. I went to Brazil these year and I didn't spend all the money that I had saved for that, so I had the money, and the concert was the day before my birthday, so I bought the ticket as a present for myself.

Bruce Springsteen is known for performing very long concerts, and this wasn't the exception: the concert took long three hours and a half. He played all the songs that I expected to, and also he played Manifiesto, of Víctor Jara, because of the anniversary of his death. Bruce Springsteen has the tradition of playing a local and significant song in each country where he perform a concert.

I went alone to the concert, I couldn't find another person that wanted to go, but I really had fun anyway. The atmosphere was incredible, we were not much people, but we had expected so much for that, so everyone was very excited. Bruce Springsteen is also known for interacting very much with the public in his concerts, and he invited a lot of persons from the public to sing with him in the stage and walked between the public and sang the songs that people asked him to.
