Looking at the past.

Today I’m going to write about things that I used to do on this time of the year, but a few years back. Always when class got over, my parents send me and my sisters to the country with my grandparents. It is in Los Muermos, and it was a beautiful place to spend the summer. I used to go with all my cousins, we were 8 kids with a few difference in age. Every day we were playing or helping in work to our grandparent “opa”. I remember the first time I had to spurn on some cows, I was really nervous but exited because to me that was the most important thing to do in the country. Also I remember that my opa every evening used to told us stories about the pictures of the living room. We had to choose a painting and he started talking about it. At the end we all went to sleep, to start a new day. I always returned to Santiago in March, so I don´t remember how is to spend the summer in here, because now my family lives in Puerto Varas since ten years ago.

A new and strange term

This new term is a little bit chaotic because it’s starting in the time it should be finishing. But it’s a consequence of been in strike for six months, so now we have to do our best to get good marks. I was working these months but the academic charge is really big so I had to quick mi job, I really want to have good marks.

This semester I have to take seven subjects which are structuralism, prehistory II, English level 4, Ethnography, Ethnology, Psychology and research workshop I. It’s a hard semester when all the contains of the subjects is resume in just 9 or 10 weeks, that means we have to work without a break in this time. That’s a very complicated situation because I’m from out of Santiago and I will spend the summer away from my family and lost their vacations. Also in the month we won’t have class I’ll be studding for the exams. Luckily I will travel to my home for Christmas and also I’ll spend the new year there. So now the only thing it worry me is that I cannot see my boyfriend for a while because he is in the same situation than I but living in Valdivia.
