Introduction:

To be honest, despite having gone to a British school, I was never a good student in English. Never going to English classes and I was wrong with the teachers. In college it was no different to school. Anyway I avoided having to login to the course's first four years. Many of my friends had to do and what they told me they were very unhappy. My only experience in English until this year was just a list of films and a few texts which he had read to archeology. For a moment I would not have to do the course ever, but changes in the "net of materials" me do it. First talk with the coordinator of academic affairs and told me to go to tower 15 to sit an examination. If he pulled a good grade was possible for me exempt the industry. But it did not. Luckily I was at level 4. But my problems did not end there. The schedules do not allow me to reconcile the subjects of archeology with the English course, so I started doing only part time. Cua Lo did not like my teacher.

social sciencies faculty

The social science faculty, is a faculty very active politically. In part, because you can study professions that are closely related whit a critical view of society, such as sociology, anthropology, archeology and sociology. Every time that there is a problem within the faculty students always ask for their rights. It is true that in this building we have several tools that facilitate our work, such as computer rooms, laboratories, libraries and even sport and recreation areas where we can escape from stress, but there are also serious structural problems that exist not only here if not in all universities of our country. Thinking that "La Chile" is a public university and faculty of social sciences was built as a place of study, intervention and social criticism is terrible that in recent years, the monthly tariffs become increasingly expensive. Thus the social sciences will become a tool for the elite and families with money (if they already are not). In the academic area, the contents have focused on development issues, this means working for companies or for goverment ... and social criticism was?. I think this is the biggest problem of this building and social sciences in general. And also the most difficult to resolve. As students we must be more involved in academic things, and the choice of choice which concern us, arguing constantly. It is also necessary to curb price increases in tariffs. True, there are other issues that are important, as the poor conditions of libraries or that computers are never available. But, I believe we must begin with the important things first.

Chile to world championship

Chile has always has been a country that has not been very successful in sport internationally. Especially in football that is the world leading sport, so it is very competitive. Other countries in South America usually win us, as might say that Brazil is the best football team in the world. Argentina also has been an important country almost as much as Brazil, but lately has not fared well. Paraguay and uruguay are other strong competitors. While we are not so losers like Peru and Bolivia, the news that we classify the South African world puts us pretty happy. Usually we end up suffering and depending on the results of other matches. This time was different, probably because the work that has done Bielsa, without ignoring the players who have done a very good job too. The captain, Claudio Bravo has been a big support for his character and his abilities as a player. Arturo Vidal is an excellent defense on several occasions and scored goals, like Gary Medel. My favorite player is Orellana, better known as "green duende". He has suffered much for being where he is, and when nobody believed,he continued fighting and carry on. In Catholic uUniversity clubs or important as Colo Colo, did not admit because his short stature. Audax Italiano bring him a home, they accept and believed in him. Gave the possibility of giving all the tools emerge. So I like this player. recently his brother dropped in jail for drug traffic, and orellana dedicated the goal that he scored against Colombia. for the World Championchips I want to be with my friends probably do barbecues and drinking beer. I would love to go to South Africa but is very expensive, but being here is not a bad option. The idea is celebrate. Is just think positive.

The portus

a group of British archaeologists discovered a Roman theater in the south of Tibe river . First they found a navigation channel, with enclosures housing and gardens decorated with large columns. Archaeologists think that this port served as a resting point for Roman emperors. Called "Portus" this seaport, which is now removed from water by natural processes is being excavated by people from the University of Southampton, University cabridge and the British School of Rome. While there had been several digs in the area, no one had thought of the existence of this theater, only the archaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani in 1860 during the last major excavation on the site. Now, with the help of magnetic sensors, ground radar and metal probes, we could get a clear picture of the archaeological remains of the theater that has been dated to about the third century after Christ. Earle Greame notes that the area was used by a high official of the Roman state by luxurious materials used in construction and columns, has even come to think of that could be used by the Roman emperor himself. The grandeur of the theater also suggests that took place gladiatorial games, performances of naval or large animal fights. Another important finding within the site, is the head of a sculpture that may represent the hero Ulysses, who appeared at the time of Emperor Claudius, so we know that Portus was enlarged by Trajan in the second century AD. Archaeologists also believe that after the floods and the collapse of many Roman ships portus it became necessary to transport cereal flours create the Roman capital since that time Rome had grown and needed major ports such as Portus.

Presidential elections coming soon. In my country, is a very important process since democracy return. Currently we have four candidates in the race for the post of president. First in the polls is Sebastian Piñera who is a businessman with deep pockets, and above all: lust for power. He owns several major corporations as LanChile or Chilevision. Try to win the people buying their votes. Piñera represents the right's people, people of high society ... but based on deception is gaining the confidence of poor people who are tired of the actual government. Second, Eduardo Frei, who like piñerita is a businessman with really deep pockets. He has been a senator and president and has been involved in several scandals. In her period, he do nothing good. Finally, Ominami and Arrate are candidates unhappy with the concertación they have chosen to campaign on their own to feed their personal egos. In the end, those candidates with fewer votes will be negotiate votes with the candidates with more support, to obtain benefits for themselves. It is short for the electoral process and there is nothing new, only the options that gives us a representative democracy. Again, I prefer to abstain and not be part of this political circus. Anyway, most people like to vote. people feel they are asserting their rights as citizens. Especially older people, I believe that most of the time they feel heard, then they feel that voting can give their opinion.

WHAT TO DO / WHERE TO GO IN SANTIAGO

If you are a foreigner visiting santiago for first time, I honestly recommend you visit other cities, because Santiago is a very unclean and boring sometimes. Whatever, you can find some interesting activities and places where spend a good time and meet people. First you must taste Chilean food so you should visit the central market. In this place you will find lots of meats, seafood and other typical meals like empanado. Following with the tour, in central plaza or "plaza de armas" (you can take the subway) there are some historical buildings and museums to. Other intersting place there is the cathedral, built after the founding of Santiago. In Forest Park you can get a lot of fun, most of people met there. On Sundays there are shows of jugglers and acrobats. Finally two great places are the stage of Italian audax la Florida district, home to the best team in football soccer of this country and then you can drink a good beer in rockandguitarras club in Macul avenue, listening a rock bands alive. I chose these sites because most of them I know very well and I have visited more than once, so I can assure you'll have a good time. That's all.

SEPTEMBER 18TH

This date is a very important date to Chile because one hundred ninety nine years ago people made the first "junta de gobierno", when Napoleon took prisoner to the King of Spain, FernandoVII. But most people believe that in this day we celebrate the independence of the country, but is not true. Anyway, in national holidays we do typical activities like fly kites, eat empanadas, drink chicha that is an alcoholic drink made of grapes, and cook barbecues. Almost all of Chile, and especially in the countryside people build Ramadas or fondas, that are places where you can eat chilean food, play typical games like trompo, dance the cueca and drink a lot of chicha or wine. There are several Fondas in the city like o'higgins park, but the best are in the countryside. Me and my family go to Linares, near Talca. Linares is a small city but in this date the fondas are really big and are builded in the middle of countryside. People practice a very strange sport call Rodeo, where huasos in their horses follow a little cow. Is very entertaining, but sad for the pour cow. This year I will not go to Linares and stay in Santiago because I have a lot of work. Probably I will see my friends and go to the city's fondas that are very entertaining to.
