Hey everyone! Today's post is about how did I like this subject at university and about my English language challenges.

First of all, I did like it a lot this subject because it gave me the opportunity of practicing my English skills, and to learn more about this language, specially the practical part that we can’t get to practice a lot outside the classroom. I also learnt a lot about my classmates through their blogs, what were their thoughts and opinions about the topics, it was very interesting. Though sometimes I didn’t have much time to dedicate it, since I had tests or homework for my other classes, but I always enjoyed coming to the classes, at least on Tuesdays when we got to talk and practice our oral skills.

Actually I think this should be a mandatory class, because knowing a second language will help us a lot during our career and our jobs.

My English has a lot of grammar voids, so I need to improve that part, maybe checking some old English books from high school or trying to catch up with it. Since I want to take the TOEFL test next year I need to fill the voids.

I haven't used my English in a long time,  I mean sometimes I Skype with some friends from my exchange year or I chat with them on Facebook, but I realize, since I don't do it often, that when I do my English get kind of rusty and not as fluent as before. College doesn't give us much time to do something to improve our English since everything we read or listen is in Spanish, but maybe now that we are close to summer break I’ll read some, watch some movies or listen to music in English to improve it.

Hey! today's post is about my future job. Well I'm just freshman in college this year, so I haven't taken many elective courses yet, but I know what I want to take in the next years. I want to work helping to preserve the environmental, so I'm thinking of working in a copper mine helping them on all the judicial stuff to get everything done in order to not have any trouble with the environment ministery or with the administration and convence them to take sustentable decisions to help our planet, because at the end of the day we all care about living in a clean planet,so everybody should care about it, and more the people who's taking economic advantages of our natural resources.
The aspects I would consider at the moment of taking a job are, first of all, if they are looking for someone who can help them to respect the law and not to cover the possible actions they might against it. Then, of course, the schedule because some of the jobs the mines offer, you have to spend half of your time up in the mine and I wouldn't do it, cause I like to spend time with my family and if I have my one, I mean children and  husband I wouldn't feel good about leaving home for that long.
If I were asked for my strenghts and weaknesses, i would say that im very responsible with my jobs and I try to do my best in everything, but one of my weaknesses is that if i don't agree about the thing i have to work on it is really hard for me to keep doing it, i keep strong on what i believe even though sometimes i might be wrong.

Hey everyone! Today's post is about how I see myself two years from now. I don't usually think about how I see myself in the future because I kind of like to live the present and i'm afraid of what destiny have for me. But i guess i would be in school, stressing out about how much reading i have to do and everything. I guess i'll be more mature, i mean, I'm working on that, trying to learn about my mistakes and making the best of my time. I hope i can be more comfortable and confident about my career and my skills. I don't really like oral tests, and i don't do well on them, so a goal i have for the next years is to get better at it and, to be able to not get nervous.

I hope my relationships with friends and family stay the same, because they are the most important part of my life now. So the upcoming years i'll work on that to keep the strength of them, specially with my family, since I'm far from them i don't want to come to a point where we don't speak anymore, it would destroy me. So i will do my best to keep in touch with my family and friends from my hometown.
I also would work on my grades, because i want to spend a semester abroad in my fourth of fifth year, so i need to get good grades to apply for a scholarship, I would like to go to somewhere in Europe, so i need to learn a third language. Two years from now i hope i do, at least learn the basics so i can make myself understood.

Hey everyone! Today's post is about being friendly with the environment. I really like this topic, I hope someday I could dedicate mi career to help us to learn how to live in a healthy environment. I think it's a hard task, we've gotten used to throw everything to the trash, knowing that it takes, years to degrade.
Now days there are many ways to find out about environmental friendly practices, I think the most important is the social networks, people spend so much time on facebook, twitter, I think through them is great  a way to educate the community.
It's important to take into the account the fact that if we don't start doing something about it now, probably in 50 years we won't have a place to call it home anymore. The facts speak for themselves, we need to start taking care of our planet, to make sure our next generations have a clean environment to live in.
I live in an apartment, they recycle the paperboard, boxes, bottles and any kind of paper. I don't have a bike, but i usually walk to and from school. If i have a long distance to cover I take public transportation, there are too many cars in Santiago, we don't need them all. They help to live in a contaminated city.
I've joined a non governmental environment organization called Greenpeace, its goal is to "ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity".
I know it's hard to change people's mind about this, i mean, people agree about the idea of the need to to something about it, but it's hard to start changing our habits.
