Post 6 (Last Post): Experience in Online Classes



At the beginning of the year, the Covid-19 pandemic seemed to be far from reaching Chile.  I thought university life would be the same as last year, but I was so wrong, because just one day before the first day of classes, the government announced the quarantine. I did not care. It seemed like a good idea to have  additional two weeks of vacation. Again I was wrong as I never imagined that the lockdown would last until December.

The days passed, but everything remained the same. Fear took over my mind. And I thought that just looking out the window meant a risk.  When the classes started I thought they would serve as a form of distraction, but I was so scared and I couldn't focus on it.

I had few subjects in the first semester, but still it was difficult for me. I was bored of the monotony and the excessive care to prevent Covid.

However, not everything was so bad. I was able to spend more time with my family, especially my grandparents. I spent whole afternoons watching Netflix series with them or just chatting while we ate delicious things.  Also, this year I had more time to explore other areas, I took a little astrology course. It sounds very strange, but it never hurts to learn new things 

Little by little I got used to the new routine. The online classes were no so torturous and with effort I passed all the subjects of the first semester.  The second semester came quickly. After a long stoppage of classes, we resumed studies haha. My goal was to pass my subjects without overexerting myself, but according to I learned in my astrology course, I am a Capricorn, so I could hardly make mediocre decisions haha.

I think it has been a difficult year for everyone. Both for teachers and students. Many times I realized the frustration of the teachers when we did not answer their questions or participate in classes.
I think that everything bad about this year helped us to know our limits and understand that in life nothing is safe. I just hope that next year things will improve. May no more innocent people die and may justice be done for all the persons who lost their lives in such an eventful year.

Finally, I say goodbye to this post sending encouragement to whoever reads it and thanking the great English course. I hope to put in practice the learned  soon.

POST 4: MY PET

 Last year I adopted two kittens through Facebook. The first was Cali, who came home in August 2019, she is a very adorable cat, but also so fierce. She doesn't let be touched by strangers  she immediately growls and attacks. She is a very observant cat, because she always wants to have everything under control, so it is not strange to see it in the highest furniture staring us. I think she is a lovely cat and at the same time very imposing. Below you can see a picture of Cali. The second kitten I adopted is named Maqui. I came into my life in December 2020, we decided to name it Maqui because it is as black as fruit.  At first my mother did not love him but now she accepts him because he is a very funny cat. He is playing or hunting insects all the time, he is also a very expressive cat. Together they are very naughty, they look like the Siamese cats from the movie Lady and the Tramp. They always destroy things, but I love them so much that it is not a problem for m...

POST 1 >> A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT: JAPAN

One of my biggest dreams is visit Japan because is a country with a lot of history and the culture is very different from mine. Besides that I think the anime makes me interested in landscapes and the japanese lifestyle. Japan is an island located in East Asia in  the Pacific Ocean and it's capital is Tokyo. This place is known by the number of skyscrapers and its surprising technology. In Tokyo there is also the old buddhist temple Senso-ji. If sometime I could travel to Japan, I would like travel arround  Japan in a bullet train.  I thik the bullet trains are a heritage in this country. Because Japan was the first country to implement high speed rail travels in the world. I also would like see the Japan street fashion. It always has been very extravagant and colorful and that I like too much. I think the extressión through the clothes speaks a lot about the culture of the countries . Personally I don´t would like live in Japan. I only want to visit this country for vaca...

Post N°2 The best Holidays ever:

  My bests holidays ever were in february 2018. When with my mom and brother we went to Petrohué and the Chiloé island. In petrohué, we camped in the Kuschel camping, located in the other side of the Todos los Santos lake. It is a beautiful place, surronded by nature at the foots of the Osorno volcano. We stayed in there place for a week. Then we took our pertenences and we traveled to Chiloé. In Chiloé we stayed at the Lanita hostel, where we met Anita. A woman from Valparaíso who decided to live in Dalcahue, Chiloé. The Anita's husband invited us to travel for different locations of Chiloé ¡Absotutely free!. So in this travel we knew the Animas bridge, the Almas Navegantes island and the Tocoihue cascade. We did all this activities in one day. We were there for a week an then we returned to Petrohué for another week, because we loved that place. So we were traveling for approximately 21 days. I think it was my best holidays ever because I visited many beautiful places and I trave...
