I`ve never enjoyed very much reading, I don`t know why, but it makes me sleepy. That has been a really big problem this last few years, because in psychology we have to read a lot, for that reason I had to invent methods to be able to read without falling sleep or lose concentration, reading standing up, listening music or with a strong light, etc. Once in a while I found something to read that keeps me awake and entertain, my resent discovery is Jodorowsky. I had to read his book of “Psicomagia” for a paper that I had to do (with my friend Carla) for a humanist curse last semester, and I really enjoyed the process of reading it. I found very interesting the content of his book, his proposal, the thing that he says and how he says them. I liked so mach, that now I`m reading his other book “La danza de la realidad” just for fun. So far, I have been even more fascinated with his experiences in life and his way of signify the reality. Now I’ve already in my hands, and waiting to be read, his book about the Tarot of Marsella, subject that I found very interesting, especially because I read the Egyptian Tarot, and it could be, not only important to my life, but also a significant way of been a better reader of the tarot .

Transantiago

I think that Transantiago, in the beginning was a chaos. The system was not enough for all the people, everywhere and in every time everything was full and hot. But in time, fortunately it has been improved, slowly it has been getting better. The thing I hate the most about transantiago is that now we have to be changing busses all the time, which makes the travel to be longer than before. The positive thing about it, is that now the busses are more save, before they were very old, and broken, and the bus drivers were faster and fearless than now.Since Transantiago started, I fortunately haven’t used a lot, a few months after it started my mother gave me her old car, so that made things a lot easer to my to get round the city, especially to avoid all the chaos of the firs year. Before thansantiago, it was faster to get to places, but it was very difficult to be a student a that time, I didn`t had a student pass so I had to fight a lot with the buss driver to pay the student price, now is easer, because everything is more organized than before. And now I have a student pass, so I don’t have to be fighting any more.
I think, that I would invest more in the busses, they broke all the time, there is always a bus on the street waiting to be repaired. I would also invest more in security, to the buss drivers and to the people that uses thansantiago.

My next stop

The country I would like to visit is Argentina, I’ve been always interesting to visit our country-neighbor, because I’m curious to know their culture, their way of thinking, we are neighbors but we are so different. I also, would like to visit Argentina because I’ve known a lot of people (including my mom) and tango dancers that have visit that country, and have told me a lot of wonders about Buenos Aires and how much I would like it. But this last year, my interest in Argentina is more related to my interest in tango, because that is the country of origin of this dance, so the place to learn whit the best is Buenos Aires. In fact, in September I`m visiting Buenos Aires whit my mother and my professor/dancer so we can take privet and group lessons whit one of the best tango dancers in the world and also to know the tango culture of that city, we are going out to dance every night of the week, by tango shoes, and know all the tango dancer that we can. Our priority in not to know all the historic places of that city (they both have know them already, I’m the only one that is visiting for the fist time) because we are focused in learning and enjoin as much as we can about de unique tango culture of that city, next time I will worry more about knowing about the city jaja.

My last semester

My experience during the last semester was very good. In the university I had really fun curses, they were optional so I choose those I liked the most, I learned interesting thing about clinical psychology in the area of humanism and systemic theories. Last semester I used my free time dancing tango, I`m taking private classes, two times a week, with my professor who is also my dancer, I sometimes help him by teaching thing in the group classes and once in a while we do presentations in events . The good thing is that with my professor we have got together a few young couples that want to learn to dance tango or know a bit, so we could form a dancing group to do presentations, create new things and have fun. A challenging thing that I had to live last semester was that my boyfriend went to USA for three months and a half for work, we were together for only two months when he left. It was hard, because we couldn’t communicate very much and I was without to many obligations, so I had a lot of free time to miss him, but when he came back we realize that distance brought us even closer.

Assignment 3

My last week was very happy one. I spend a lot of time with my mom and friends. On Thursday, I went out with my dear friend Carla to eat sushi and to shear sometime together. On Friday, my mom and I went to a Tango class in a Tangueria called Buenos Aires. It was very good, I learned so much, and the professor and students were so nice to us. After the class, we stayed dancing and eating very good food. At midnight the Libertango Company gave a Milonga show, they were fantastic! After the show there was a raffle, and I won 8 free classes with them! I was so thrilled! So, you see, it was a very good week.

PD: Miss Vania! there is a problem, I don´t have pictures from last week!

I chose this artist because I love her music, she is one of my favourites. I like this song in particular, because it is so positive and happy, and the video is so funny. And the lyrics are so funny too! because Bjork sings a story that every one of us has lived at least once in our life, but she tells it in a very happy and entertaining way.
When I’m blue, I listen to this song and it cheers me up, because I used to sing it with a dear friend, and every time I listen to this song, it reminds me of her.
