About the study trip planning activity:

First able, I think that this activity is very entertaining, because, to complete it, you need to investigate and collect information about a city that surely everyone have to visit at least one time in his life, this city is London.  In my case, I had the opportunity to visit London on 2013, so I think that this activity maybe was easier to my.  I also liked this activity because it gave me the opportunity to remember a lot of places that I visited there.  One thing that is very impressive is the fact that the pages of all the tourist places of London have all the necessary information, as prices and direction, very clearly; a fact that Chile should imitate.

Two amazing DJs:

Today I’m going to write about a band that really likes me and one of their songs are my favorite above any other.  The name of the band is D-BLOCK & S-TE-FAN, actually they are two DJs and music producers instead a band and they play electro house and hardstyle, two of my favorites types of music.  I don’t know too much about them, apart of where they are from, they are from Netherland,  but they came to Chile last year and I know that their presentation was incredible because I was there.  I discovered “DBSTF” around a year ago because I started to search some DJs included in the lineup of Ultra, an electronic music festival, that I didn’t know.  I love hardstyle music and this DJs have a lot of songs of that style, the most I thing, which make me go crazy.  One song that they mixed, named “Here tonight”, is my favorite since I listened it on Ultra the last year.  I always get happy when it sound on my song lists, thing that don’t happen with all of them, so that’s why I love it.  I never get tired of that song. Here I let the link of the song, if you like electronic music you will love it:

About Pets:

I never had a pet in my life, but I always wanted to adopt one.  In my family everyone loves pets, although my mother is the one who don’t want to have pets in the house, because she says that no one is getting in charge of it.  My father loves animals, especially cats, so there’s no problem with him.  Is curious the fact that my mother and my father, both of them, grew up with animals in their houses and now don’t let us have one. My dad had 2 cats, 2 dogs and he even had a chicken.  I really think that my mother have some kind of trauma of live with animals, cause que had to live her entire life in an apartment with a giant dog, a Golden Retriever called Lark. In my case, I love cats very much.  One of the biggest wishes in my life is have my own cat, but I’ll have to wait until I leave my father’s house.  I also like dogs a lot, my favorite breed of dog are pugs but I like all kind of them, only some little dogs I dislike.  I don’t have pets but I’m always surrounded of my friend’s animals and that’s cool, like my girlfriend’s Terranova called Lenon.  

Facso on strike!

Facso, as other faculties, is on strike because within the university there are some policies that are affecting the normal performance of the students, staff and academics.  There are main problems, precariousness, democratization, financing, are just some of it. 

I think this strike it’s not only necessary but fair.  We're fighting for a basic right that is the social right to have educational high-quality.  Equitable educational system that struggle has different fronts, the first one is the widespread national protest and the second one are the local protest, inside each university and school where we students are trying to build from within quality and equity, starting on fixing the problems in our departments they are no more than the reflex of what's happening in the global scale of the educational system.

My participation in the strike has been very active, because I’m the academic delegate of the sociology students of first year.  I’m very interested in the strike so I’m trying to participate as I can in all the activities that the university do in the faculty or other place, like central house.

I think that the strike will bring us a chance to create a space to be constantly resolving problems about the university as an only horizontal group.  Also, in my opinion, this year the university will open his mind to transform it foundations, from little changes as more classrooms, until obtain main national objectives like free education.

The main drawback of the strike is well-known, the academic area is lagging behind and the contents of the year are going to be changed, but I think that to make changes there always have to be sacrifices.

Climb!

Today I’m going to write about climbing.  I started to climb 2 year ago approximately in my school.  One day a friend told me that he was going to the climbing workshop, so I decided to follow him and participate in one class.  I have climbed before that, but I never have taken it seriously.  Since that day I love climb and my life wouldn’t be the same without it.  I totally recommend everyone to climb, it’s an incredible sport, it makes you train every part of your body improving your physical state, strength, elongation, but also your mind health.  It’s a sport that gives you a singular spirituality because lets you interact and get closer to the nature, a thing that I consider awesome.  One thing that I really miss of my school are the climbing walls that it have and it tradition on the sport, a lot of students, friends many of them, that graduated of the “Altamira” are very strong inside the climbing world, like Jose Maria Aljaro or Lucas Gaona.  Finally I just have to say that climbing is incredible and if you have the chance to climb, please take it, you won’t regret.

About my future presentation.

For my presentation I chose to talk about the School of Frankfurt.  I chose this topic beacause I noted on this three months of clases that is very very important for my carreer, sociology, and also for all social sciences in general.  I think that the organization of my presentation was regular, because I have been planning what Im going to say and indentifiying what I think that is important to mention.  Although I didin’t  write anything yet so I couldn’t say that I’ am ready.  Maybe if I had to do ir again I would start making a diagram or something like that, to be more ordered and confident on my presentation.  For me the most interesting part of the School of Frankfut is it principal work, the compilation of essays named “Dialect of Ilustration”, a written work compilated and editated by Theodor W.  Adorno and Max Horkheimer between 1944 and 1947.  I readed a part of this work on my psychology subject and until now is the most difficult text that I have readed.  The reason why I think that this topic could be interesting for the audience is that this school is one of the biggest forefathers of all social sciences and probably the most part of the studients of the faculty have heared of it.          

My favorite piece of technology.

My favorite piece of technology is the cell phone.  I really like all uses it have, I can do every kind of things with it, such as, watching YouTube videos, checking my Facebook account, reading my email, and the most important thing, communicating with my family and friends by whatsapp.  I have had 3 cell phones in my life, but the last is the only one that has really changed my life.  I’ve got this cell phone one year and a half ago, it is a Motorola moto g that was recommended to me for a friend that had one, and I really like it so now I recommend it too.  I'm always attentive to my phone. I wouldn't say that this is good, because sometimes it distract me a lot when I’m doing important things like studying.  The cell phone have changed me a lot, when I’m without my phone I feel a little uncomfortable, like something is missing.  I’m so used to checking if my phone is on my pocket, it’s very funny because sometimes I have some frights when I don’t feel it there, even when it is on my hand.  I miss the times when cell phones were not common and people saw their faces, although I love to be communicated and informed anywhere and that’s why I think that cell phones are a very useful technology piece.
