Some reflections 2015

This year has been a great opportunity for me to grow up with new situations. In the beginning it was  very difficult, for example this year I  made my professional internship, first in a school so organized and demanding and then in a kindergarten a little bit more relaxed. In the first, I tried so hard to do the things well, it was a big challenge because I’m not used to wake up early all the days of the week and plan class every day. I must always do this in my free time because I spend almost my time in the school. Independent of this, I learnt so much about important thing for my teaching career. The second semester I was in a kindergarten a little more adaptable than school, but the work was very hard too, because the institution needs a lot of help and I can`t say no. Finally I finish my internship with congratulations and proud of my sacrifice.

On the other side of my life the last year I had an accident riding a bicycle. I broke one of my feet, it was so painful! My rehabilitation lasted a lot longer than expected. I was in physical therapy all this year, I was forty physiotherapy sessions during the afternoon, two days of the week. It was very difficult but I learnt so many things of myself that this is the important thing now…

In spite of all the complicated things I lived wonderful moments with my family and friends, they were an excellent support to lead it!

My summer plans 

My vacations begin in January next year. I'm going to work during January to make money and go out during February. 

I would like to get a job in a restaurant as a waitress but if I dont get it I will sell ice cream or cakes :). In february I want to travel with some friends to go all over the south of Chile because I dont know it, only Los Angeles city because my mom lived there one time. I want to make this trip hitchhiking because it is so expensive to visit all the places in this part of the country, so if I can save a little of money, better still!

I would like to visit Valdivia, Villarica, Pucón, Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas and Chiloé. During my stay I want to eat all the typical food, know the national parks, swim in the lakes, and the most important to me is to share with my friends and the new people that I meet for that they tell me how are their lives. 

Then, if I have time and money I would like to cross to Argentina. In Mendoza, I have a friend that I met in Perú! he always tells me that I have to go to visit him because he can host me in his house and take me to the nice places there. This idea of vacations would be perfect to me but I always plan it but in the end I finish in any place in an  improvise way hahah

a, so I dont worry so much about this, is only one idea...

My favorite animal

I love animals. I have always thought that animals are very special. I even tried to be a vegetarian during a month but my weight will not let me, and I lost too much weight because I used eat meat most days. Regardless of the fact that I feel too much closeness with animals.

My favorite animal is the dog. This is a domestic animal that accompanies the human. I like the dog because I have a pet called “Fe”. Fe is female and Alsatian. She is 13 years old and arrived my home when she was a baby. I love this dog, she is adorable and loving. Now she is in the south of Chile with my mom, every summer I travel to see her, I miss her so much. Sometimes I feel sad because she is old and at some point she will die. I have many experiences and memories of our “friendship”, she is one human more, she feels when you're sad or happy, she is an animal so special. 
The other reason why the dog is my favorite animal is because when I was 2 years my dog of this moment called “Toto” saved my life. I fell into the pool and I drown during a few seconds, just in this moment my family was in the house, it was very quick. The history is that Toto pulled me out of water, it's one amazing story!! And for that the dogs are my favorite animals. 

How green are you?

I think that my biggest environmentally friendly practices are take care the water. HOW?

 Turn off the tap water, stay in the shower for less time, not to let water running when I wash my teeth, when my dad is shaving or when irrigate the plants and garden, it is necessary to irrigate in hours of the low sun in order that the water does not evaporate. Moreover, with my family, we collect up the plastic bags in disposable bottles to create: ecological bricks.

On the other hand, I really like ride in bicycle but near of my house, is dangerous ride in the bicycle because not all the drivers respect to the cyclist and the streets haven’t got ways only for the cyclist and in the places that these exist, the people don’t use them well since they travel in them. Moreover, in the public transport I delay very much time in coming even here. In my district, the cycle paths are in construction so, I hope someday come to the University in bicycle for reduce my footprint.       

Santiago isn’t a good place for recycle because it hasn’t a lot of places of recycling and these places are very far. In another way, the containers for recycle glasses, plastics or carton’s boxes are in almost all the supermarket; so to recycle is depend only of our disposal for do it!       

My ideal job

I think that my ideal job is nothing similar to my profession haha, but i can dream, why not? Dreaming is free.

The perfect job for me would be travelling. I would like to travel around the world, but not only for the pleasure of this, but because a social cause. I love travelling and knowing others cultures. If I get paid to investigate about education in other countries I would be very happy. 
I don't like routine jobs, they are so boring! I wouldn't like a high salary, it is not my priority, but have the enough to stay calm without debts. Other thing that I would like to incorporate to my ideal work is to share with children because the relations with them are more true than the relationships with adults, it is so much complicated to understand us adults!

Tarot

The tarot is an ancient type of fortune telling. The beginning is not clear but it exist two theorys. one of them is that the tarot come from Europe where the kings plays with a playcard similar to the current tarot. This represented the social status of the time. From this born the tarot called Marsella. The other teory is that come from to Egypt, the history says that it found metallics cards in one of the important pyramid of the country. In this cards were written the arcanes of tarot. Both of the types of tarot are similar but not the same. 

The structure of the tarot is compound of 78 cards, 22 ancestors arcanes or cards that represent the principals universal archetyps and 56 minors arcanes that represent the especific situations.

This method of adivination is a way to help people who dont know what to do in different contexts of their lives. The correct way to read it is not to see only the future, this is too much superficial. The tarot is not only a tool of prediction because is more than this, it is something to understand the human subconscious. The philosophy is that in the human brain exists all the answers that you need to find a solution but this does not exist always in our conscious, so the cards uncover it across symbols.

My favourite piece of technology 

My favourite piece of technology is my macbook! My father gave it to me the last year and i love it! This gadget is excellent for my hobbie because I like writing and I have too much pocketbooks with poems but its all disordered, so I can transcribe it in my mac to have all my work in the same place. 

Also, I always need to plan my classes for children and this notebook is a good option to do it because its a very fast machine. You can do too many things at the same time and  you will never have a problem, it has a big memory and an intelligent processor. 

I use my mac too to download music and put it in my iphone and retouch photographs on Photoshop and a million of things more! 

I use it almost everyday and if I dont have it I should have to save too much money to buy another one because this notebooks are so expensive but I believe that it's the best in the market. 

My best holidays ever

During the last year in July I went backpacking for the first time, with three friends, to Bolivia. We visited all the north of Chile only with a backpack with too much food to cook in a small kitchen and don’t spend in restaurants. The most of the people who gave us a ride were truck drivers with huge tracks. Some tracks have two levels, beds and smalls refrigerators. These people were very nice with us because they shared their stories and lives; even one of them invited us to have lunch in his usual places to eat!!

Then, we arrived to Arica and took a bus to the capital of Bolivia. We visited different places during three weeks. The most interesting places where the Isla del sol and Salar de Uyuni.

This holidays was the best because I love travelling but I never have done it backpacking only, so this was one was the funniest experience of my life. All the time we were improvising the new things to do and we can do it whit a  little of money.
