My best holiday

A few years ago, with some friends from the school, we decided to travel to Tinquilco, there's a friend who have a cabin there and she had talked so much about that place, that after years of failed trying to go, we were finally able to travel. 

Tinquilco is a little town in the south of Chile, in the "cordillera". It's not easy to get over there. First we had to take a bus from Santiago to Pucón, and there we took another bus to get near to Tinquinco. The cabin was on the middle of a forestall park, so we had to walk a lot to get over there. The only thing we could see from there were trees, so there wasn't any place to buy food, and there wasn't electricity neither. So, it was a travel that we needed to prepare with time, save some money, buy all the food we need before, take flashlights, etc.

That travel was amazing, the place is beautiful, and we became much more closer friends. We enjoyed alot, we went to the Tinquilco lake, we visited the forestall park and we climbed the mountains (or at least we tried).

I really have very good memories about that travel.

I´d like to visit...

If you ask me where I’d like to travel, it would be very difficult to answer. The truth is that I’d like to travel to many parts of the world, I think every place should have it beauty, but it’s something I do know, I like first of all know my own country and Latin America countries, because I think it’s very important know the place where we live, know the history, the traditions. That’s why if I have to choose a place to visit today, I’ll choose a place in my own country, I’d like to travel to Rapa Nui.

Rapa Nui is an island located in the Polynesia, in the Pacific Ocean, in fact is commonly called the “navel of the world”. Administratively is considered part of the V Region of Valparaíso, but as far as I know, the people of Rapa Nui do not feel Chileans. Rapa Nui is a place that tries to preserve its environment, the nature in which they live, and also the traditions and customs of their people.  

If I could travel to Rapa Nui I’d like to travel around the island, contemplate the nature, known sacred sites, share with their inhabitant, know their traditions, customs, Know about their rites. I would love to learn to dive, which usually makes the inhabitants of Rapa Nui. But I wouldn’t like to know only a touristic sight, I´d like to know the routine, meet the daily, know the way of live.

I don´t know if I’d like to live there, first I have to know Rapa Nui, but isn’t a possibility to discard. For now I´d like just go visit, hopefully as long as possible to get know well. 

My first term of 2012

In my first term of 2012 I did my third semester of sociology. During that semester, that's means between march and july, I studied seven subjects, Sociological Theory I, Statistic II, Social History of Chile, Quantitative Tecniques I, Economy I, Pre intermediate english and Contemporary Dance. I think that semester was important, because I had a lot of subjects relevant for the career, that are required to then studied other subject, like Sociological Theory II, Economy II, Quantitative Tecniques II... etc. Fortunately, I had very good results, I get good notes, so I didn't have to do exams in any subject. I think it wasn't a difficult semester, but it was a little exhausting.
During the first semester I did contemporary dance, It was a subject, but for me it was never an obligation, I enjoy it very much, It was like a liberation from the routine, and also a liberation for my mind, because I stopped to think all the time, like we used to do in our career, that is so intellectual. That´s why for me, did contemporary dance was more like a hobby than a compulsory subject.
The problem I had to face during the first term of 2012, was the difficulty of combine the time, between the studies, my family, friends, boyfriend and work. Some time I had to run all day, because I had classes, then I had to take care of my little sister, go to work and also study for a test. That was very exhausting, and I haven´t time to enjoy with my family, friends and with my boyfriend. With him, we try to see each other every time we can, but it's difficult to combine our time. That´s why I always try to enjoy every free time I have.
