Evaluation of Blog Experience

  I honestly enjoyed the experience of writing a blog. I never had one and I was pleasantly surprised writing this blog in English. At first it was very difficult to learn the tecnic part about how to publish the things I wrote and don't get me started about adding images, it was so confusing. The truth is that I'm not very skilled with technology hahahaha, we do not get along very well, lol. I think my writing skills have improved a lot. I started practicing with different tenses and I think I improved using them. In addition, I think my vocabulary in general was also enriched by this experience, since I can now use words I did not know before. In the future I would like to write with other genders of narrative such as poetry or a story. I think it is very good to explore other forms of writing. I would like to continue writing about music, events, concerts or new records. I really like the world of music and I would have liked to write about it and test my musica...

Food I like cooking for myself

Imagen
I like all kinds of salty foods, so it is very curious that my favourite thing to prepare myself is "dessert". I love the lemon pie I prepare! I could say it's my weakness, it's the only sweet thing I can overeat and not get bored. But I do not like the ones that you buy in the supermarket or in the typical bakeries, I only like the ones I prepare. To make it, first I prepare the dough with flour, butter and egg then I put it in the oven for about 25 minutes. For the smoothie you will need lots of lemon juice, lemon zest, condensed milk and egg yolk. This is batted and then left to rest in the cooler. Finally, beat the batter with the dough and add flaming meringue. To be honest I do not like cooking much and for things of time I can not perfect myself in this art. But curiously preparing a lemon pie relaxes me a lot, maybe it's because I prepare it only when I am with friends or my family. I remember learning to cook lemon pie when I was very small a...

My indignation

Imagen
 I am very indignant at the education system in Chile. It bothers me because if there is anything uneven in our country it is education. Unfortunately the one who has money can access "good" schools, good pre-university and "good" universities and then if the person wishes can go out to improve abroad. In contrast, a person who was not born with the same opportunities this educational system does not help, because supposedly if you manage to emerge they call you LAZY. I t bothers me that this system of education sees us only as machines and not as people. We constantly have to be competing with the next partner to have better grades, since lately everything is based on a number. The NEM system is a number, the Ranking of notes is a number, the PSU is a number, everything is a number and you always have to be better than your colleagues. I am also indignant that many young people have to get into debt BEFORE even having a university degree with which t...

Critical Theory

This semester I was pleasantly surprised with the subject "Critical Theory". At first I thought we would study texts that are very difficult to understand. In addition, I thought the classes would be boring and uninviting. The teacher is also very helpful, because her teaching method is very pedagogical. She worries about explaining very complex things with a vocabulary that we can all understand, she starts from the most basic to the most complex. In addition, it uses current examples to better understand issues that can sometimes be very complex and delicate. The classes consist of analyzing the different intellectuals such as Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, T. Adorno, Horkheimer, M. Berman, W. Benjamin, among others. The branch is very interesting because in addition to studying the different theses and principle of the authors also stimulates us to reason and question society. The topics covered in the semester program are: Cultural industry, hegemony, social structure,...

Fabulous Stan Lee

Stan Lee, is an American comic book writer and publisher, as well as producer and occasional film actor. He was born on December 28, 1922. He is best known for creating iconic characters from the comic world such as Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, Thor, The Avengers, Doctor Strange and X-Men among many other superheroes. He collaborates constantly in the production of films of the Marvel Universe, is more appears like actor in several of them. The work of Stan Lee was instrumental in expanding Marvel Comics, taking it from a small advertising house to a large multimedia corporation. Still today, Marvel comics are distinguished by always stating "Stan Lee presents" in presentation credits. I really admire this comic writer because I feel that his imagination has no limits. It is capable of creating spectacular worlds and characters. Despite his advanced age he is able to continue creating stories and relate them very well with the past. Marvel ...

Special Photography

This photograph for me represents many things: friendship, adventure, magic and a dream come true. This image is from my summer vacation this year, exactly on February 5th. This photo is a selfie, I took it when we finished a guided tour. After that they allow us to climb a mountain to so we could take photos from the heights. I'm in this photo with two of my best friends, with whom I share a very special friendship for 6 years.  The idea of taking a trip to Machu Picchu was born in 2013, we were in second year of high school and wanted to live an unforgettable adventure in a magical place full of history. But we had to wait to be old enough to be able to work and afford this trip. This photograph for me represents the faithful proof that if I propose something I can achieve it. I funded that trip with my own money and effort, which for me is a great feat since I had a hard time earning the money. For my friends and for me it was an adventure worthy of being told, full of ve...
