The "18"

One of my best celebrations of Fiestas Patrias for me, It was this recently holidays. I think this it’s because this holiday was the longest of the year. My vacations began the Friday 21 and ended yesterday. Its days very busy (for this I am very happy).

The Friday, I went to mythical “Fonda FAU”, with my friends. There, we sold drinks for recover moneys to a magazine. The Saturday, I rest and sleep, but I went a barbeque with my family on Angostura the Sunday.

The celebrations for the “18” were in my house. I ate a big, big “asado” and I drink earthquakes (terremotos). This were a great days with my friends and my family, because I don´t have many time to enjoy with they. Then to stay with my parents, I went with my friend Felipe, to a barbeque with his mother and his stepfather, where we play pool all the night.

The Thursday was the turn to the university’s friends. And we ate other barbeque (jejeje). For end the week, the Friday I went to Curacaví, to a piece of ground of the grandparents of my friend Fernanda. We ate other barbeque. But this time, we camped in the place, under the stars. This was very beautiful and relaxing. Also, the herbage of the hills was flowering, with yellow and violet colors.

The weekend was quieter. I sleep and recover the energies for begin a new week with class. The Sunday I went to the strike for the closing of the newspaper La Nación, in the Parque Bustamante. And today, I went to the gym… it was so necessary.

The first semester

The first semester of this year was very stressful for me. My 2011 ended  in february, then of six months of protests again the profit in the education. I was very tired for this, and january was a very hard month. Moreover, my schoolfellow elect to me as "Concejero Fech". That's mean a lot of work, but I was really motivated.

The first months of this term was some more easy. The people do not protested, for the tiredness, and now we don't have a long time for obtain our demands. Apart of this, in the first term I started with the "degree process" (a.k.a. "seminary"). With my friends, I doing a comparation of comunicational public politics in Chile. This process is very slowly and hard.

For the stress, the best is the gym. In the university, we have a gym in the campus. Before of the strike, I went two times por week. I don't like the sports, because involves a large share. The gym is most solitary and allows rest of the people (that is anti-social). In other activities, I participe in a comunitary radio of the university and in others jobs that implicate the journalism.

The principal problem of this year has been the stress and the fatigue. But, I have become accustomed to this, and the 2012 is ending very fast.

My family is OK. We have health, job and studies. Our great preocupation now is the health of my grandmother. She have 84 years old and she grow old very fast in the last 2 years. She forget things and listen strange songs. I blame his age.
