Three Years in Chile


Tomorrow I’ll commemorate three years here. In this time I have done many things, the most important was to start the university again.
When I arrived, I worked in a shop as a saleswoman, this was my first job. Soon after, in December, I presented the P.S.U and I had studied Chile’s history all in only twenty six days!! It was incredible! That year my mom came to visit me, and helped me to study. By the end of the year, we went to Valparaiso to see the fireworks, that was amazing, very beautiful.
She went back to Venezuela in January, and I worked in the same shop in summer. My mom came again in May with my grandmother, I had started the university, but in a weekend we went to ViƱa del Mar, to know this city.
This year, I traveled to Venezuela in December. We didn’t like the celebrations here, are very boring. I came back in February and didn’t see my family until December, when I traveled again, and come back in February, 3th to wait the earthquake.
This year my mom wanted come back again in July but the air ticket is very expensive, and she doesn’t like the cold. Well, I have to wait for December again to travel to my country.
These years have been very interesting, I love and miss my country so much, but this country is a good place to live.

Personal Relieve

Today I would write about anything but I couldn't think in something because I don’t feel good, I’ve had a not very good day. Write about this and like this I could relieve.
In the university we are very much thing to do and I feel that I don’t have time to do all. Sometimes like this I miss very much my family above all I miss my mom because she always helps me in all.
I don’t like cold neither the cloudy days. I need the sun, as Superman, for recharge my energy.
I ‘m generally a happy person and I like to joke whit my university partners, listen to music almost all day, I enjoy whit nature around me although I don’t stay contemplate it. But today I only want sleep until the sun comes back.
I need my friends, they, in days like this, give me a hug.
I want to go out Santiago, I feel asphyxiate here. I want go to the beach only to see the beach because the water here is very cold to swim. There is other that I miss, my beach, my warm and relaxing beach.
Tomorrow will be other day, and I hope that I could feel good again.
