My favourite piece of technology

Hello again

Well I have to tell you about my favorite piece of technology. That not hard for me, definitely my favorite piece is my Computer. I have it for 4 years.

I use my computer for everything, for watch movies or series, because I don’t have a TV in my room, to play computer games with  my friends and to see my email, my facebook, and to search anything I need.

I use it everyday, I always have to check my email because I always have meetings so to know where and when we are going to meet I need to see my email. Also y play almost every night, it’s my way to relax.

I think I could live without it, but obviously it would be more difficult, the computer allows you to do a lot of things.  It can’t work for entertainment or for work, nowadays almost every work they ask you at the university have to be written by computer and you have to send it by email.

My free time!

This time I’ve to talk about my free time, I really don’t have much free time, when I’m not at university I’m in Renca, I work there in the “nueva escuela” where I do a children workshop with other students of the university, and Wednesday and Thursday I have to go because I do literacy for a old lady.

But when I’m not doing any of that, I’m in meetings.

So like you can see I’ve little free time in my life, so when I have it I like to spend it with my friends or my mate.

If I spend it with my friends we usually play computers games, or we like to drink a beer from time to time.

  

If I spend it with my mate we like to go out to walk around Santiago, and maybe eat an ice-cream or something, that depend on the weather, but sometimes we are so tire that we just wanted to stay home and watch a movie eating something, like pop corn.

And when I have like a weekend off, I like to travel to Rancagua to visit my family.

I think I try to do my best on my free time, I don’t have much so when I have it I try to enjoy it.

OPECH

Hello again, this time I’ll tell you about a website that I visit frequently.

Here is the link if you want to visit the website.

Ok so for start I have to say that Opech means “Chilean Observatory of Educational Policies”

The site has six different sections you can visit:

-          Home

-          social movements

-          Press

-          Legislative

-          Higher Education

-          Special Bibliography

In the website you can find information about how education works in this society, also there are some links of other websites that have some kind of relationship with education. Recommended bibliography by observatory fields, a section where you can read about a critical analysis of the Chilean higher education system.

I visit the site once week, but you can visit anytime you want.

Music

Hey pals

This time I've to write about music so I hope you like it.

I usually listen to music when I’m on the computer or when I need to relax. Some of my favorites groups are Babasonicos, Silvio Rodriguez, Soda Stereo and Tiro de Gracia. It does depend of my humor the kind of music that I like to hear.

In 2007 I went to Soda Stereo concert, but it’s not the only concert I’ve attend.  I went to see Silvio some years ago with my Mom. And last year I went to the “abrazo 2010” where a lot of groups play and one of them was Babasonicos.

I don’t have any talent for music, I don’t sing very well and I don’t play any instrument, but I like listen to music with my friends or with my mate.

I can’t imagine the world without music, I think music, like theater or other kinds of arts, are expressions of how people see the world that around them. It can be a way to protest against society or to cherish life. For some cultures especially the oldest one, use music for to pass knowledge from generation to generation, or to praise the gods.

Anyway music exists and we should enjoy it.
