final days

Hi there!
today I'm talking nothing in particular.. just anything..
By these days, when the end of the year is coming soon, christmas too, when the good and bad things of the year is what you think of.. I was thinking in the students, those who want to start the University stage, those who must suffer the PSU process, those who are now in what I was last year.

During the process, I mean during your last year of school, you're too preocupied studying for PSU, that you really don't have time to enjoy your last moths with the people you're used to see every day or to enjoy the time you are expending with them.. that's the first period.

Once you take the PSU test, you think 'I'm done, I finished it', but sadly it is not that easy, I can say that you haven't passed through the worse part yet (sorry me being so melodramatic :) ).
Now you have to wait for the results, and you're crossing fingers to have the results your exhausting study deserves. With the waiting appears the pressure of your closest too, somepeople are even more preocupied for the results than you are.. and that can make you feel really nervous.

Then, when you know the result of your looong year, longs days of studying and stress, you have too possibilities (depending on your results, obviously). If you did well, congratulations!.. you can study what you dreamed of (if you have your future clear, and I can tell you, that's a privilege) by the other side, if you did not so well, or not how you expected to.. it's not so easy, but that doesn't mean you don't have options.. and I think that sometimes this way is easier.. cause, if you take a free year, you'll have the time that you didn't on your school's last year, you'll have time to think, to enjoy, to party, and to study (calmed)..

I just want to say that the whole process is too fast, the school's last year is too full of emotions.. and you also have to decide you're LIFE'S FUTURE, you have to decide too quickly what you are going to do the rest of your life.. it's a pretty important decision, and the PSU mode does not help, I think.

Hey! this it's just my opinion, cause it's a process that I wouldn't like to passed thourgh again.
I wish you luck and patience if this is your time!

places to visit in Santiago

Hi! long time no see!

Well, this time I'll talk you about what you can do in Santiago, what place to visit.. I have to tell you that I live in Santiago, but far away from the centre itself.. so I decided to talk you about what you can do in my little world, Pirque.

Pirque it's a little town in the south of Santiago, it's a place near the mountain range.. it's a beautiful place, with a lot of green areas and free of pollution, you'll find fields and animals everywhere.. it's a quiet place where you can be in touch with nature.
There you can visit a lot of interesting and original things. You can go to some vineyard, there is the well known Concha y Toro, Santa Alicia, and others. There are places where you can find original handcraft, like in the 'Pueblito de los Artesanos' there you can watch rodeo too, and eat tipical food, it's a really nice place! you must visit it!
You should go to the National Park Rio Clarillo, there you can spend the hole day and walk through the hills, watch the river coming directly from the mountain' snow, it's a beautiful enviroment.
There's a nice golf club, where you can play golf, of course, and what's most important, you have a spectacular view. There is a nice coffee shop with delicous cakes and natural cookies and drinks.
If you want to visit a different place, beside the historical part from Santiago's centre, you MUST visit Pirque and find out the countryside from this city.


c.ya soon!
