What a warm faculty!

Hello!
Today I've to talk you about my dear faculty of Social Science, were I study psychology. The current situation in the faculty is that we had the elections of the Cecso, and the winners were Camila Ríos and other people from anthropology, psychology and basic education. I think that there’re a lot of things to improve in my faculty. For example the computers are very slow, the library doesn´t have enough books, and there´re a lot of neo-hippies in the faculty. First I think that we have to resolve the neo-hippies thing. They are very problematic people because they are so rich that they don’t understand the meaning of the public education, they don´t have any sense about the needs of the society, and how to improve it. I think that in the University of Chile the access must be for everyone, because it´s a public institution and it might prepare the professionals of the future. So, it´s very important to collaborate with this mission, by selecting well the future students of my faculty. It´s important to give some information about the mission of the University to all of the students of the faculty. Another thing I would like to improve in my faculty is the library, because a lot of times that I have gone looking for a book and the books had been already lent or they were not available. There would be lots of benefits for the faculty if we improve this things, because it would be a better place to study, with more books, and better technology, and the students will be together as one faculty fighting for social justice. I said! Goodbye everybody, ¡REVOLUTION NOW!

Movies...

I believe that I am big fun of movies but I dont spend to much time seeing them. I try to go to the cinema sometimes but it is really difficult with all the things that I have to do. The thing is that the last movie that I sow in the cinema was Harry Potter, the sixth one. I sow it because I have read all the books and I like too see mi ideas represented by actors.

Even though I like all kind of movies I prefer those ones that you have to find your own explanation for the things. For example one of my favourite movies is "the clockwork orange". His director is Stanley Kubrik´s. I like this one because the first time that I started to see it, it wasn´t easy to imagine what is going to continue. Also it was really interesting to see how human beings could be easily conditionated. Summarizing, this films was about 4 friends who like to play in a weird way, they like to hurt people. The protagonist was sent to jail and there he was accept to be part of a new scientific experiment about human behavior. The experiment tried to demostrate that you can make that bad people behave in a good way by some methods that make your body to get accostumed to some situations. The protagonist was conditionated by classic music by shock therapy. Scientifics showed them violence videos with classic music, at the end, he wasnt able to listen to classic music, specifically Beethoven. He vomit and feel nauseas. He tried to commit suicide, but he coulndt and the government had to indemnified him.

I think it is a good movie, I have seen it like four or five times, and I always find a new concept to analyze.

Well. Thats all.

See you !

Sports

Sports have been always an important topic in my life. I am a big fan of Soccer, especially, la universidad Chile, as you should know, the best team in our country. I admit that am not an sporty man, but I have always tried to play a little bit of soccer, in the school and now, at university, I used to play with some friends on weekends. Despite this, I am not consider that i am a fitness person. Actually, I think I should improve my physical state. I have been really lazy these last years. I dont have time to do exercices. Too much study and work.
Even so, I always have some time to see my soccer time play. I really admire Marcelo Salas. He is the best sportman in history! Some months ago he retired, and of course I went to see his farewell. It was a shame, I really liked to see his plays every week. Anyway, as I was saying, I liked sport but I dont have time to play. If I could chose some sport to practice, apart from soccer, I would chose tennis. It is awesome the way that you have to prepare your body to those long plays. Sometimes they are playing like four or five hours, it is impressive, I really admire those gays.
I know that every sport should be healthy, but some of them are not really helpful. For example, wrestling. There are just some men, with funny underwear, whi fitght each other without any sense. I know that boxing and marcial arts are really disciplinated, but I disagrre with those TV shows which encourage violence.

Well... this is what I think, for now I just play some chess. It is the mind exercise, the best.


Bye!!!

Santiago...

I do like Santiago, and there are many places where a tourist could go and know some of our culture. Here is the list with some of them.

First of all, The San Cristobal hill, this is a wonderful place to walk and have a quiet time with your close friends or family. Also it has some kind of chairlift where you can see all Santiago. It is not recommended when it is smoggy, you couldnt see anything.

Also, you can go to some particular pabs in well located places, for example, in Plaza Italia there is a place called Bocaccio where you can have a finny time with your friends. Also you can dance and drink a little bit. But if you want to try typical foot and drinks from Chile, you have to go to "La piojera" the greatest place to know how the real Chilean eat.

The third place that I choose is a fast food locas at side of "plaza de armas" there you can try the most delicious hot dogs and hamburguers from the city. But if you wanto to try the greatest "chorrillana" and beers, you should go to "entre latas" a classic place for young people.

Also, if you want to know some of our art and history, you can visit the national museum which is located in the forestal park, another well known place to have fun. In this museum you could know a little bit about our history, our independence and the most important artist from our country.

Finally, the best thing that you can do on a sunday evening is to watch some good soccer. The national stadium is a good place to know the best football team from Chike, Universidad de Chile. I totally recommend to see some game.


Maybe they are not the best places but I tried!


Byee!

Transantiago!

As you maybe know, I am from a country town. In Talagante I never had problems with buses or things like that, but when I was 12 everything changed. I had to travel everyday to Santiago to go to school. At the beggining it was awful. The busdrivers were too aggressives and people didnt respect each other. It was difficult to get accustomed to that lifestyle, but I did it. Some years later I even found interesting all that "bus cultures". The graffiti in the windows, the particular music or radio stations, even the angry drivers who hated students. there were the particular things which characterized our transportation and especially, Santiago.
Everything was great, I took the bus, I show my student car, the driver looked at me ugly, he gave me my nice ticket and I enjoyed the funny music, but suddenly there were a silly football player offering the most modern transportation system in Chile. I didnt get excited. It was a football player! What can he know about buses? He had a Mustang! Anyway, I just waited and the great day arrived. As you know, everything was a big mess. There were like one hundred buses to ten thousand people, or something like that. It didnt work.
I admit that I like the "bip" cards style. I dont have to see that angry faces, but sometimes I miss it. Everything is too quiet. Even so, the worst time of the day is taking the bus. It is frustrating, too many people! Gosh! Finally, I get bored and I moved out. Now I walked to university. When I want to have some arguments with drivers, I go to visit my parents in Talagante. The things havent changed there.


See u!!!

Egypt!

To be honest, it was difficult to decide which country I would like to visit. The truth is that I would like to visit all the world, but I chose Egypt, principally because of its culture. I wouldn´t like to go there to study or work. Actually, I just would go there to visit their ruins, old-constructions and customs.

When I was a child, I was scared to mummies, that is why I started to read about this country and I get impressed with their myths and traditions. First of all, it is incredible how they could build those huge pyramids. How did they do it? I know there are a lot of theories about it. I´ve seen some religious movies which show some Egyptians slaves who are building those pyramids with old-fashioned technology. I dont think that could be possible but also, I´ve heard that some aliens came here and they did it. What can I say? I do believe that it is even less possible. I prefer not to think about it and I just admire the incredible art.

Besides, I would like to try some of its typical food. Maybe you dont know that I am vegetarian and sometimes it is not easy to find varied food in Chile. In Egypt, the typical food is awesome, people have a lot of dishes with many varieties of vegetables and what is more, they used to drink water instead of soda. Really healthy.

Well... I hope you like my post

See you!

Next Concert: Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Hello Everybody. Today I'm going to talk about one of the most important things that exists; the music. Since I was a child I like listening music. In fact, I think that a lot of important moments to me are associated with some music. By example, when I felt that my youth started, was when I listened for a first time to The Doors and Tracks like "Riders on the storm", "Light my fire" or "L.A. Woman" and It was in a car to the beach. By moments like this, I feel a very nearly relationship with music, specially Rock music.
In spite of my preference of Rock, I listen other music styles like jazz, blues, fusion and some of hip hop. Last week I went to see a new band of hip hop fusion called "Como Asesinar a Felipes". They're chilean and and are a very interesting band. I recommend to listen them.
Now there's a concert that makes me mad. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, an Argentinian band which I grew with, listening their discs, dancing and singing their songs, is near to give a concert here in Santiago!!!! The date is October 11th and I already have the tickets. I really hope that It will be a fastastic concert, a very very great party with thousands of people singing, dancing and being happy, I really hope that. Now, I'm just expecting for the great day, and having a happy night.
