A sabbatical year??

This week I will talk about my idea of a sabbatical year. And I’m thinking of my personal projects and what to do in one occasion like that. The idea of a “Sabbatical year” is very tempting because I’ve never had a gap year. It is very common for some people to take a gap year, especially when they finish their secondary school, they finish their university or when they work.



Definitely, I’ve been thinking of taking a sabbatical year, but not yet maybe in the future, this year I’ll finish the University (specifically the period of classes and subjects), next year I’ll start my dissertation and I’ll start to work (I applied for some foundations and organizations in the area of Education to realize my Professional Training – that is my area of investigation). At the moment, I guess that a sabbatical year is a “luxury” because I need to create a “social net of contacts” and I hope to make some money to pay my expenses.



For some people, it is important to relax, forget their work and stressful things, and I consider that it is a good idea. I need a gap year, but I don’t have the possibility to take one. If I had the chance, I’d travel around a lot of places (maybe Europe) and I’d do stupid things such as writing poems, composing music, learning to play drums, learning German and French. I have a lot of plans to make in a gap year, but if I have the opportunity to take one it would be in five or ten years (maybe when I’m pregnant).

Well, to sum up, I hope that you have the opportunity of to take a gap year and have fun.

My Green Side

Hi!

When we talk and write about the environment, we try to appear like mature and intelligent people talking about a lot of things that we don’t know, really the people don’t read and ask themselves about these topics. Personally, I don’t consider me like a green people, but I take conscience in the school when the teachers talked about it. I consider that so import for the children.



The people in general don’t have conscience and habits, they don’t care the environment: use cars for short distances, don’t recycle, use plastic bag and produce a lot of wasted. In my case, I don’t use bicycle (because I don’t know ride a bike), but I walk and use the public transport system (especially subway), I don’t like use car for many reasons: the cost of gasoline, the problem of traffic congestion and the contamination. But I don’t have a green side, regularly I don’t recycle (in my building is impossible to separated the trash, only the glass and plastic bottles, and cardboards), but I re-used the plastic bags, the plastic packaging, and others things. Other thing that I do is reduce my use of electricity and water in my house; I think that these little things can help especially to reduce the carbon footprints, other thinks that we can do are don’t smoke, don’t use cars all the time, and others things.

In Chile are so many organizations that pretend protect and care the environment; I don’t participate in none, and I don’t think in participate in the future, because I think that these people are so artificial and the environment is only a pose for look like important and intelligent.



If we asked about the behavior of the society in Chile about the environment, we need think in a lot of things particularly education about the recycling and the care of the nature in children and old population, and we learn about the correct habits, because the population in this society don’t have more knowledge about it. For conclude we need think in the future generations.

Greetings!

Indie Fluor Party!

Hi Classmates in this sad morning of Tuesday!

Well, I had a lot of parties some very boring some very funny, but the important is the great moment with friends and special people. The parties can be special or a resounding disaster. This year I had a lot of parties and “carretes”, I remember one how the worst of my life (really I can remember nothing about those night, the only I can say about those is “tequila no more”)…

But, the latest party or say of other way “party night” was at two weeks ago, with my boyfriend and a couple of friends; the first thing that we did was drink a couple of beers in a small bar (near at the house of my boyfriend), then we go to dance in the discotheque called “Blondie”, in that occasion the party had the theme “Indie Flour Party” – the parties in this place are thematic you can dance different types of music like old wave, brit pop, new wave, post punk, kitsch, indie, gothic, and others types of music – the music was new rave and electronic in the principal dance floor, in the second dace floor the music was brit pop.



Well, we danced a lot, and in the second floor a friend band called “Intimate Stranger” played we saw their presentation was great and the last in Chile for this year (they travel to USA in October for play in a lot of festivals). We drunk a lot too, beers and vodka in the backstage with the members of the band, and we did a lot of stupid things that I can say…



For conclude, I can say that I had so much fun and I had a great moment.
