My blogging experience

This is the last post. So, I must tell you about my blogging experience.
Sincelery, this kind of activity was so boring for me, because I felt obliged to write in each class and do it publicly, and something that i really hate it's that. Also, I think that the experience can be better if the topics are related to things that motivates us or generate more discussion and differents points of view, I don't know...maybe notices or topics of social importance. In my particular case, I felt silly in many times writing topics as "My favorite web site", "My favorite subject" or "My favorite I don't know". Always the topics were related with this kind of things and although I learnt new vocabulary and practiced my english, I think that it could be better.
But, I don’t stay here for make a hard critic about this evaluation. It’s just that I’m making a constructive critic for the teacher is she read this. I guess that we could waste the time with other games, dynamics, other exercises. Well, I don’t know exactly what, but I remember my class in the school and was so entertaining, we used to listen songs and complete it, but songs that we choose or read stories, make crosswords, make interviews in the streets and another games. Well, I think that are so many ways to teach English and it’s really subjective, because if for me this activity wasn’t the best, maybe for my classmates was great.
Finally, I’d like to say that the class in general was so useful for practice our English and communicate and share different opinions. The topics for the conversations were interesting and makes me laugh in many times. I can share something with my new classmates and it was nice.

My future

Well, today i’m going to tell you about what i hope of my future.
I think that in 5 years from now i’ll be working in my own coffee shop. I really would like to work in this Project that i have with my best friend, Macarena. She is studying art and it’s really interested in this Project, too. We pretend make a different and innovator coffee with our recipes and with and cool and nice enviroment and a lot of other things, but our ideas for the moment are secrets.
Profesionally, I hope to do a postgraduate course related with aesthetic of the cinema because i want to know more about it. I would like to do it in this University for one day write a book with this topic.
Personally, I would like to be a mom. Also, I think that I’ll live with my boyfriend in a great flat in front of a park in the center of Santiago. But I don’t think so much in the future because i have enough with the present and i don’t want to think a life in 5 years from now because it’s depends that what happened in all this time and all that i think can change.

my favorite subject

In this post I'm going to write about Rupture and Ideology I, that is my favorite subject this term because we can see a lot of pictures and other images related to avant-gardes. It's very interesting because we can learn theory seeing pictures all the class, and the teacher uses it for tell us about the bases that every movement takes as their ideology and how their main characters express it throught their pictures, using elements like colors, composition, ways to representation, lines, etc, etc.

I think that this subject it's great to consider the job and the process of creation of the picture and the result of all that according to the time and the context. Also, the teacher, María Elena Muñoz,  it's a very energic person and always she's talking about curious stories and other funny tips about the life of some artists.

I have learnt a lot this semester about this topic, for example, recognize and difference between artistic movements like romanticism, realism, impressionism, expressionism, Bauhaus…

Well, I'm going to tell you about Michel Foucault. He is a french philosopher, sociologist and historian, but he is related to my career because he wrote some books about theory of art. His work is really interesting for me because he takes different topics and analyzes it, but with other look and take examples about arts. It's difficult for me explain exactly how he writes, i think that maybe you can read something about this guy, because the way that he use for write is single and is really gripping. Since i read "The words and the things" i really loved his job. In some of his texts, he describe the picture and explain the composition with an analytical eye that propose a new way of reading the picture and many are paradigms in the history of art, but he wrote about other topics too, as science, sexuality and contingency things.

I think that the reasons for why he likes me are clear, i didn't read all his books, but it's something that i really wanna do.

My best friend

My best friend is Macarena. I met her when i was in 8th grade. We had only thirteeen years old and i remember that i was new in the school and i didn't know anyone, so i started to talk with some girls and make friends and one of this was the best friend of Maca. Then, i talked with her, but in the beginning our relationship wasn't very good.
When we go out of the school, she entered to study art at the university and i took this year for prepare me and think about what i wanted to study. In this time, we knew better and i recognized that she is my best friend. She is always there and never let me alone, it doesn't matter if i was so sad or so happy, she is here for share my feelings. It's a wonderful and intelligent person, she always say the truth and cares about me.
We have similar personalities and another things in common. We share our love for the art and decoration, our dreams and projects and also, our values and principles. All this things are very important for me because i feel that she is like me and this makes that we never fight or discuse for stupid things and really...for anything. We working as a complement one of each other and this is really cool. I don't have enough words to describe our terrific relationship.
The thing that makes us different are, for example, our ways to face the problems and solve it.
We always go for a coffee and talked so much, we love talk a lot in a good ambient, with nice music or walk for a park, watch a movie, etc.

My favorite website

I think that my favorite website is 3w.youtube.com because this page contains many interestings audiovisual works. You can found funny videos, trailers of movies, cartoons and another things. All you can imagine is here and the best of all is that you can be part of this as protagonist, making your own videos and watching and posting in the videos of others users. It's a community where you can comunicate and express all you want and share your files and meet people of all the world.
I guess that this page it's a great invent because at the moment, it's one of the sites more visited of internet and this is the result of one page that was created with the object that we can decide what i want to see and share, if i want to be the actor or actress of my own movie, i can do it. If i want share my favorite music videos or something else, i can do it. No matter how and what do you upload at your account as user of youtube, you can enjoy this benefits and share all that things that like you.
I knew this website about three of four years ago because one of my friends created funny videos with her friends for show it in youtube, and send me the link for watch it and then i look for another things.

My piece of technology

Really, I don't have any favorite piece of technology because I think that I would live without this things perfectly. We just believe that this pieces are necessary for live because we are accustomed to the comfort that they give us. However, one the pieces of technology that i like it's the DVD because everyday I see a movie. I have my own DVD since my aunt give me one for the last christmas. During the first month I didn't use it, but when I found its useful, I used it for avoid TV programs. Now, I usually rent movies or my friends lend me their own, I make a copy and see movies all the time.
I think that my life without DVD would be as the same that now only that I would have to go to the cinema to see all the movies and it would be more expensive. I wouldn't have many ways and objects to entertainment me.
