2SEM: Transantiago: Before and after.

Nowadays, my opinion of Transantiago is a lot better than some time ago, because it has been improving thanks to the increasing quantity of buses and the new routes. But, I must say in a beginning it was awful; many routes were left out of the plan and a few quantity of buses made a the transport system colapse quickly.

If I compare my experience of the pre-transantiago system with the new system, I think that:
- Before, the buses were quick, but it competed for to carry more passengers!, which sometimes was very dangerous, because this situation could end in an accident. In the other hand, I like that these buses covered large distances... I could go to anywhere in only a bus!; to travel all over Santiago!.

- Now, "The Transantiago" is a system that it connect the metro and the buses for to travel for Santiago. Who use this transport, we have a "Bip!" card, that it serve for to travel on bus and subway. The "Bip!" card is the unique form of payment!, therefore we must not forget charge it with money!. Well, I must admit that the Transantiago is safer and cleaner than the other system. In the other hand, some problems of the Transantiago are: a) it colapse quickly!... we have very few buses!; and b) to take a bus after midnight is very difficult!.... Apparently, the entrusted of Transantiago forget the great quantify of people; and also, that there are many young people that they have life!

2SEM. México; a country I would like to visit!

On some of my vacation, I would like to go to Mexico!, because it`s a wonderful country, that has a big historical and cultural heritage; mainly, for its unique culture: a fusion of European (particularly Spanish) and Meso-American cultures -such as the Olmecs, Mayas, Toltecs and Aztecs-, that existed long before the Spanish conquest. Well, I would like to know the History of these native American civilizations and its several knowledges of astronomy, math, medicine and engineering.

Some places, cities, ruins and/or temples that I like to visit are: Palenque Mayan Ruins and the Temple of the Inscriptions; The ruins of Paquime; Uxmal and the Pyramid of the Magician -Uxmal was the greatest metropolitan and religious Mayan center during the late Classical period!-; Chichen Itza, the Temple of Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent God (also known as Quetzalcoatl to the Toltecs and Aztecs); Campeche -a ancient Maya City of Calakmul-; and the archaeological monuments zone of Xochicalco, Teotihuacan, Monte Ibán, Tikán and Tula.

Moreover, I would like to visit Coyoacán, a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City, for to know "La Casa Azul" (The Blue House), where Frida Kahlo lived and worked; that is now a museum housing artifacts of her life. For me, she was not only a renowned painter, but she also was a appasionate woman in all!: a active communist and feminist sympathizers; who was married to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera!; a turbulent love!.

...I want to go to Mexicoooo!!

2SEM. First Term: Good and Bad points

In the first semester, I learnt different theories of language, more exactly, theories of "analysis of discourse", such as, the "Grounded theory Methodology" and a "Dialogical Approach"... The notion of dialogue/ discourse is very complex, it has acquired several meanings, or different readings. On the other hand , in Educational Psychology, I learnt the extreme labour situations of a great part of teachers in our country and also I learnt as the educational psychology must consider it.

Many times, when I was very stressed and/or tired, I liked to do different free activities to relax me, such as, to listen relax music, to draw or paint and sometimes, I did a few minutes of meditation =) to connect heart, body and mind. However, If I had much free time, I prefered to leave santiago city and visiting my parents and friends. They live in La Ligua, "my great city"... In this place, we know all the city and its people! mmmm..... When It bored me, I went to "Papudo", a little and quiet beach, that is very nearby of my city. Well, I must admit that I love the contact with the nature when I need to be alone.
