About My Blogging Experience

My experience using blogs in this class was interesting and now I believe that write here helps to me to learn the language. This is better than be in class every time or have many evaluations. Besides, for us is very comfortable use computers for working in class, because our generation is accustomed to the technology and internet. 
Doubtlessly I improved my writing skills in this semester, and I think than that is thanks to the exercise of write in blogs. In the past I couldn't write in past tense and I couldn't write in third person. Now I can, almost every time (sometimes I forget it ha-ha).
I think in the future we would use another software (like Prezi) or will include more images and videos. Maybe we would interview to important people or make something more interactive. In my case, I prefer do not write about my personal life because is boring and the internet is not safe for expose our personal information or information of our loved ones. 
I would like write about topics like music and arts, for example, but without talk about our tastes because isn't necessary. We would make a investigation about a musical genre or about a famous band, for example. Also we would translate a essay for one of our subject. 
Good Bye :)

A Piece of News

A piece of news that attracted my attention in the last weeks is the decriminalization of the therapeutic abortion. 
In the last public account of the President Michelle bachelet in 21th of May, she announced the wishes of her government for legislate about the decriminalization of the therapeutic abortion in three cases: pregnancy for rape, pregnancy with risky for the life of the mother and unviability of the fetus. In Chile at present, the abortion is prohibited in all its forms and the candestine abortion are punished with prison. 

The government is the principal prime mover of the reform because they consider the abortion like a public politic about health, but the catholic church and the most conservatives sectors of the society are opossed because they argue that the life begin in the conception. Of course, the principal involved are all the women because they are the people than need to abort. 

This tematic is happening only in Chile, because implicate a legislation of our country. In another countries the abortion is legal in some cases or in the totality. In fact, only seven countries prohibit the abortion and Chile is one of them. 

The discussion about the abortion is very important because this is a topic outstanding in the live of the women. The chance of decide over our bodies must be a right for all us.

Somethings about my BF

I don´t like to talk about my personal life or the life of my be loved on internet because is open and insecury media with universal access. For this reason I won't deliver information and details about them. Nevertheless, I can talk about somethings.
We are friends since 2003 approximately. That mean than we have been friends during more of 10 years! We met in the basic school, when we are schoolmates.            
She is my friend because we share a lot of things and interest in common. For example, we love ride in bicycle in the afternoon around the city, come back home in the night and drink a beer listening good music.

An Expert that I Admire

The expert who I admire is Gladys Marín Millie. She was a great member of Partido Comunista de Chile and a fighter against dictatorship. In her youth, in times of Unidad Popular, she was the General Secretary of Juventudes comunistas de Chile. In that epoch she was also member of parliament in two periods, until coup d'état of 1973. After it, she gone to abroad exiled and came back to Chile in 1978 for directed the Partido Comunista in hiding. After return of democracy, she continued at the head of that party and she was candidate to presidency of Republic in one occasion. Unfortunately she died in 2005 for a cerebral tumor.
I admire her work because she was a big woman and a fighter for human rigths on this country. Her contribution to chilean politic immense and the later generations recall that.

My Favorite Band

I like a lot of bands ans singers, and a variety of musical styles. But if I had to choose one of them, I choose Pink Floyd. They are a group of british rock musicians and they started to play in the sixties. Their creative and musical high point is in the seventies. The most of members of the band renounce, separated and returned to play together in some ocassions. At present someone of them are playing the works of the band like singers. In the beginning they played psychedelic rock, but after a time their style was developing until change to progressive rock, without lose their signature. 
I like Pink Floyd because they represent the best part of classic rock after seventies, with a style distant of the commercial music. Their melodies and lyrics are great, and the performance of the musicians is admirable.
I like a lot of songs. My favorites are Dogs and Sheep, from the album Animals. Also I like Echoes, above all with the start of video Pink Floyd live in Pompeii. As well I like Shine on You Crazy Diamond, from the album Wish You Were Here. I like because they are a very complete works, of a long duration and big intensity.

Enjoy this video

My Favorite Movie

I don't have a favorite movie. Every time I watch some new movie and I like it more than the previous movies. But if I need to speak about some movie, I choose Black Cat, White Cat. This is a serbian comedy directed by Emir Kusturika. Its actors are not famous people, but they are great artists. The characters are varied and very related with the storyline: The protagonist is a lover young boy that lives with her father, an addicted to gambling. The father gets into debt with the boss of the local mafia, an insane man addicted to cocaine, and the boss obliges the young boy to get married with her sister, a dwarf. But the young boy is in love with a beautiful and crazy girl and obviously he wants to stay with her. The storyline carries out in a not specific village of Serbia.

I don't have a favorite part. The movie is good from beginning to end and causes laughter on the spectators. I like it because it is a very funny and original movie. I like very much the movies of Kusturika because he is a great director and documentalist.

My Subjects

In this term I have only five subjects. They are: English III, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Applied Estatistics and Human Behavior. Most of the subject I have now are of the second level of the career, because last year I got sick and I couldn't finish my subjects. 

I have taken an extracurricular too: Arabian Dance. I like this subject very much because it is a beautiful artistic dance and I can learn it in the eggp it is a privilege. I also like it because it is a good exercise for body and mind. 

Besides my formal subjects and extracurricular, I participate in a political group that has precense in eggp, but I took part in it before I came to the university. 

I expect that this term will be quite and the teachers are relaxed with us and our academic capacity. I will be a good student, at least.
