Sincerely learning english doesn't exciting me too much, when I was in the school the english class didn't matter to me, I used to copy in the exams and the presentations wasn't difficult, but now in the university when I come to class I really enjoy the moment that I spend in there. This class help me to have a better and fluid english, but sometimes is difficult for me speak fluid and well. My problem is I forget the rules of the language.
Making the blog really help to write in english and got the notion of the rules and follow them. Sometimes is difficult for me translate my ideas from spanish to english, sometimes I can't find the sufficient words or simply I don't have imagination to write about something.
What I need to improve is how to connect correctly the words, respect the rules of the language and speak more fluid. If I want to improve this lacks I should speak more in english with someone that speaks english, for example talk with my aunt who lives with me because she speaks english very well because she went to United State to learn more english that she knew, and that is an other idea to learn more english, going to an other country where they speak the language and make intensive english classes.
When I'm outside the english class, I use english just a little bit, sometimes when I have to read scientific papers for the other subjects that I have.
I would like to speak good in english and for that I need to practice more.

2014 a difficult year, I must admit, a year full of changes and new goals.
This year had a lot ups and downs.
Beginning the university was one of the biggest changes in my life, with new responsibilities and new people. My biggest obstacles are the tests, because last year I "taked" the year and I didn't have tests, just one in the end of the year, the PSU. I didn't have really good marks, but I passed all subjects.
Pass all the subjects was something really stressing, because I had to made all the exams. This new semester was a little less difficult, but I need to make an effort to pass again all subjects.
A good thing was the friends that I met, I had known really good friends, but I got away from old friends, and put off some persons because of my personality.
My achievement to this year is pass all the subjects and go to Iquique and spend all my time with my family and my friends in the beach, and enjoy that I pass all.
I would like to made different things in the rest of the year, recently I began to climb with a friend that she is in the selection of climb, is really funny and exhilarating. I hope to progress.
I had a lot of things to do in my mind, but I need willpower to made this things.
A really big event this year was the birth of my cousin, that she was premature, but now she is fine.
The year doesn't end and I hope good things in the rest.

It's amazing how the technology nowadays has made significant  strides, we can do things that in the past no one even imagine. 
An example of the strides of technology, is the story of Wladimir Silva, a guy of 22 years who was born with Poland syndrome, a congenital and unusual illness that affect the muscular development, and that affect him with the muscular absence in the right upper region of his body and in the congenital amputation of some fingers. 
Now, thanks to strides technology, he has an artificial hand make with a 3D printer that was donated to the Teletón, an institution that helps in the rehabilitation of child with physical and mental disability.
This artificial hand was made by Jorge Zúñiga, a physiologist, with just a few and cheap materials. 
This technology advance is interesting because it will help a lot of persons that have a physical disability, and this is just a little advance but with a big impact to the society. In the not too distant future it will be possible to make other parts of the body maybe. 
In my opinion the technology advance is so important nowadays, because help us to do a lot of things that we can't or do it more easy. 
I hope that soon this technology can be accessible to anyone.

It's so difficult for me imagine me in the future, mostly if I have to imagine me in a job. But the only thing that I'm sure is that I will never work in an office, I think that is so boring being in a desk in front of a computer all day.
I imagine myself doing things with my hands or creating things, and in my own space, without a boss.
I love travel and I always go out of the country with my parents in holidays, so for that reason I would like to have a job where I can travel a lot.
Now I'm studying odontology, it wasn't my first option of career, I thought study literature or psychology, but my parents didn't agree about literature and about psychology they thought, but they convince me to study odontology, because they are dentist. It's doesn't bother me study odontology, because I can make things with my hands and create things, for example the prothesis.
I wouldn't care if I had to to work outdoor or indoor, because if I can create things it will doesn't matter.
Now day I don't see me working, because I'm not sure what to do, but I know that someday I will do something that I love and I will enojoy it. But now I have time to think.

Always I wanted to go to a music festival, but how I lived in Iquique was difficult to go. But last year I moved to Santiago so I taked adventage of that and I went to Lollapalooza. It was like an adventure to me, because I was new in the city, my parents didn't know that I went to Lollapalooza and it was the first music festival that I went.
How it was in Parque Ohiggins the music festival, was difficult to me return to my house at the end of the show, because it ended at 12 pm and in that hour the metro was close, but they opened again and I could go to my house close to metro Manquehue, I was far from home.
In Lollapalooza there were many bands playing, but I saw Passion Pit, Pearl Jam, Franz Ferdinand, Two doors cinema club, Deadmau5, Foals, Keane, Hot chip, and more bands that I can't remember now, but my two favourite bands were Passion Pit and Pearl Jam, the two bands are from United States, but they have a different musical style, Passion Pit is indie pop and Pearl Jam is grunge, they are so different but I love them in the same way.
The atmosphere of the festival was amazing because you could go to many places and listen a different kind of music, and the people were nice.
If I had the opportunity to go again definitely I would go. My parents told me that I can go the next year as long as I pass all the subjects.

Something that I loved to do when I was a child was watch television. I had to wake up early because my mom had classes at college and I went to the kinder garden since I have memory, so as soon as I woke up I turned on the T.V. and always I saw cartoons. For that reason is difficult to me to say what cartoon is my favorite, because I watched a lot of cartoons when I was a child. But if I had to choose a cartoon it would be Hey! Arnold, because I loved the story of each chapter and the principal character. I remember of some characters like Gerald the best friend of Arnold, Helga the girl who had a crush with Arnold, but she tried to hide acting like she hated him, Phoebe was the best friend of Helga, Harold was the bully and chubby kid, Lila was the girl that Arnold had a crush, Ronda was the rich girl, and a lot of characters more. The setting was in United State I think in Brooklyn.
Now I don't watch cartoons on T.V. because the cartoons that I get used to watch are out. But I think that watch cartoons is not just for children, I still watching cartoons sometimes in youtube.

Always I want to go to Spain, because my great-great-grandfather and my great-great-grandmother on my dad's side are from there.
I like the old things, so for that I would like to know Spain's old streets. Also I would like to know tourist places as traditional places that just the people who live in there go.
An other reason to travel to Spain, is the accent that they have, because I love it.  
For a long time ago I thought live in Spain and study in there, but now that it's a little bit difficult because of the economy's trouble. 
Something that I don't like about Spain is the San Fermin tradition, that consist in a bullfight, because I think that the animal abuse doesn't excuse. 
I would like to see and learn the traditional dancing, know the culture and eat traditional food like paella. 
Maybe some day I will travel to Spain and know all this thing, but I will be when I get a job and earn my own money, or maybe if my dad gives me a ticket to Spain, but it's not probable.
