My free time

What is the free time? It is a complicated question. Some people think the free time is for doing activities out of academic duty or job duty. But If I take time for watching TV or going to the cinema, the time isn’t free.

The technology can increase the free time because it does a lot of activities with machines like the washing machine. If you clean the dish before, you can sleep now.
But the technology has bad point too. The internet is the best distractor when you should study. I believe it is more fun to play in facebook than read about macroeconomics. The study is possible if you know how to use the time with technology.

Frequently I have one day free in the week, the other four day are for studying and if you have luck you can sleep and eat. No, it’s no real. Just is necessary to have time organization, but it is hard when you are tired.

I manage my time in the weekend or the month. I have an agenda for doing it, it is very useful. When I put the activities on agenda is impossible to forget it. It is obviously! But sometimes I don’t put my activities on agenda, so I don’t use my time wisely. Next, the academic time is bigger than free time.

When I have free time I like to sleep or listening music meanwhile I rest on my bed. Sometimes, I meet with my friends and we go to mall for eating or just talking about the life. We go to parties some times too.
When I’m alone, I see movies, or play in my notebook. Others time I go to the swim pool or write. I read about ecologic news and I call phone to my home in Ovalle.

If I have more free time I would to enter an ecologic organization for do an activist, but I don’t have the time for do this dreams and to help the world.
I can dedicated more time to my family too because they live out of Santiago.

I choose to write about a environmental topic: “University challengers race for the sun in Solar Decathlon”. The article talk about a great idea to produce energy solar home.
This is a challenge for 20 students groups from America, Canada, Spain and German. I think is a great idea because you can find a lot alternatives news for take care our environment. The competion have between the options a project for mannagment the control light with a Iphone for who needs to make other activities. The university of minnesota`s created a project that looks like a rustic chalet, I believe is so cute.
Other options are approach on poor neighbourhoods in houston. It have a cost of $140000, a very efficient idea. But each team have $100000 to build the project.
Some teams had been working since 3 years ago and october 18 the will know to the winner.
The idea was made for the US department energy. I would like to make this project in our country because we have a lot of territory for do it, for example the atacama desert, Chile have a groups of goodengineer, but we listen always “ we havnt money for do it”. But this article show we can do “solar powered home sleek and cheap”.

Sports and health

Hi, Today im goin to talk to you about Sports. I go to the gym two times a week because I do aerobic gymnastic with other classmates.
I believe this activity is great. Really is nice and funny, also is good for the health: the gym to prevent illness like obesity, hipertensión, or others problems connected with the heart or the choresterol. But is excellent for the concentration when we need to study. The sport avoid the depression too, because when we do exercise, our body is been releasing hormones for to be happy and more light.

The sport should be important for the society because it have a lot of benefits. In Chile we can find a lot of obesity because the people dont have a sport culture. Maybe the government must to do more campaign about the sport topyc like to show more kind of sport for all kind of people. For example, the swimming, cycling, yoga and long walk are sport soft for who need to do sport but have other kind of problems with your health. I believe this is possible if you want and ask a doctor before.
The football isnot the only one sport in aour country, we have more alternativies for choose.

I think that “ Rodeo a la Chilena” not is a popular sport because just a little part of population to practice it, so is considerated like a traditional game. I dont agree wit modified it because is like to change our traditions, but I agree with the idea about to give more support. But the others sport needs to support too.

To have a better life, is necessaty to erradicated some activities or excesses on the fast food, cigarretes, alcoholic drinks and drugs.

Santiago...

Santiago is the Chile capital city. It’s the biggest city of the country. We can find a lot of places to visit and activities to do.

I know few places in Santiago, but I hope to visit more places in the future.

The foreign tourist should to visit “ La Moneda”, because is our government house and it have a beautiful architecture.

Other buildings with a great architecture are in neighborhoods like “ Bellas Artes” , “Lastarria” or “ quinta normal”.

The museum are important too, if you want to know Chile, Is necessary to know about the history of it before, so, you can go to the national history museum.

For the people who love the environment and the green areas can visit the forestall park, or the Ohiggins park, both are place to contact the nature. Too are pretty natural places the hills “ san cristobal” and “Santa lucia”. You must to look after your things of the thief…

For the entertainment in O`higginsPark is “ Fantasilandia”, a big park with games for all kind of persons. Too are the zoo in the santa lucia hill, you can go if you want some more peaceful.

You have diverse activities for do. If you can eat some, you should go to “Mercado central”. It have the most typical and cheap food of Chile.

For drink some, we can talk about “ la piojera” a popular bar in Independencia, a traditional town with funny people and delicious drinks like “terremoto”, is a little strong, so don’t drink a lot.

Bellavista is other good place. The architecture is nice and the services too. Here you can find restaurants, discotheques, pubs, bars and craft fairs. But sometimes not is safe, you must be careful.

I choose these places because are typical of Santiago and you can do a general vision of the city.

Music

Hello!!!!

I’m going to talk to you about music.
Music is great; it can change our spirit with pretty lyrics and a good rhythm. I love music. It have a important role in my life, I can’t leave home without my mp3.
I like all kinds of music, for example 80`s music, pop, rock, “reggeaton”, “cumbias” etc. My friends know about my music, is very varied.

I get my music from Ares; I search on internet. Sometimes I take music from friends’ computers or others Mp3, mp4, etc.
I don’t follow any groups or singers because I’m not a fan of any person; I like the songs, because the lyrics are more important for me.

When I’m studying, I can’t hear music because I sing and leave the study aside. But sometimes I study with songs without lyrics or with a language unknown to me, like French or Arabic.

I try to hear happy music all the time, because it gives more happiness and strength to have a smile everyday.
I just listen to sad music when I need to think about things, but I believe that doing it is useless. I prefer to hear happy music to be a happy person or a cheerful girl. After listening to sad music, I comeback to my happy world and I hear songs like “bonito” or “it’s my life”. But always it is music to change to a positive attitude.

I don’t believe music to fill my life because in the world we can find a lot of other great, things, emotions, persons and elements, like the friendship, the environment, etc. Music is a complement, but it can help a lot to improve your life.

Pd: I cant put a picture for this post :(

Transantiago...

I don’t know how the publics transport pre- transantiago system was because I didn’t live here.
So, I just write about the TranSantiago system actual. I think that the biggest problem of transantiago, is the bad distribution of buses. For example, some people can take the bus without wait, and if they have luck, the bus is empty.
In other places, the situation is absolutely different. We can find a log wait between buses and these buses are crowed. The subway is the same case generally in the mornings and the evening.

I can’t compare the experience, but my actual experience is not so bad. Some times is complicate to be in underground stations like “Los heroes”, about the 19:00 hours, because the amount of people is really big. Also, this amount is biggest in “los heroes” that in “escuela militar” I live is this last, so I believe because for this reason the transantiago no is too bad for me.

If I would change something of this transport system, I will put more buses, but I will try to use a “fuel green” for take care the environment. I think these buses are really dangerous for the air. Have did you see the cloud by the actual transport?Also, I will make better bus stop for the comfort. We can’t forget the pregnant woman, or the old people

Italy

I would like to go to Italy since I have memory. I think Italy is a great place.

Why?

Because was the place when was born one of the civilization more big of the history, the Greeks, so you can visit the firsts arts and culture of humans expressions.

The architecture is greats and you can see it and to travels to other age. The buildings are famous around the world: catacombs, the Sistine chapel, specially, The coliseum, the biggest theater crowed of history and magic.

But Italy isn’t only building, also I love The food, specially the pastas with all kind of sauces, are the best food for me. And the pizza, everybody love the pizza.

Too The language is good, in my opinion, is cheerful and sweet, and the language mix with music sounds great. The Italians songs are very happy.

My mother were to Italy, and she said me: “ When you finish your career, I’m going to give you a trip to Italy” I would can study, work and live there. Is the best place in the world for me. When thinking about it, I want to finish the career soon.

I can go to study to Italy with a exchange program of the University, but before I need to know the language…
