I need a sabbatical year!

After too many years at school and the university, I consider necessary to have a free year for me, because in my case I need some time to think about my future, to re-consider the idea to work as a sociologist or to take other options in my life.

So, I imagine that in my free year, I would do something to relax, for example, to stay some time in my house in Chimbarongo, or to travel around Chile, maybe I’d go to Valparaíso or to any place in the South of Chile... perhaps this would be an opportunity to visit my family of Punta Arenas, because I have never visited them. Also, in the other extreme of our country, I would visit Iquique because one of my best friends will be mum in the next weeks!!

Well, I think that the possibility to have a sabbatical year is only for some persons because this supposes to have some money (unless that you consider to stay only in your home) or that it isn`t necessary for your family that you work. For this, if I could have a sabbatical year I think that I would work three months to pay this long holyday, to do a painting course, or to learn some interesting things not related with the university.

I consider that a sabbatical year would be a moment to do the things that I haven`t been able to do with the educational responsibilities, for example, to sleep, to visit old friends or simply to have time to share with the persons that I love.

Think Green

The people learn about environmentally friendly practices in different contexts, in the family, the school, with the friends or in the advertising campaigns of eco-organizations. In my case I learn this in my family, but it not of an explicit form because the ecological practices are part of the country life.

In my habits I incorpore the recycling when I separate the rubbish, for example, the rest of food is for the hens of my house or throw it in the ground. Also, I give the glass bottles and tins to my uncle because he sell them. However, here in Santiago is much more difficult to practice the recycling… and in my apartment I don’t have a courtyard or hens and for this I would look for another form for recycling.

I prefer using my legs or a bike when I’m in my hometown. When I go to the university I use the public transport frequently.

I consider that these ecological initiatives are necessary for the protection of our environment. The organizations’ actions helped to solve the problem of the dam in Punta de Choros, for example. However, I don’t join or support any eco-organizations, because this require time and money, and at the moment I don’t have any of them. Maybe in the future…

I’d like to do anything for to help to create conscience about our environment and to learn more about this topic.

For to reduce my carbon footprint I have plants in my house and I am careful with the tipe of foods that I consume, for example, I prefer eating organic products.In our society, specially in Santigo, I consider that it miss more efective public politics, and to consider this problem as a fundamental aspect for the quality of life because in general are most important the interests of the big companies and it exist an irregular fiscalization.

Party

Well, really I don’t know what to write in this post. Cause I’m a very quiet person (maybe too much) and for this I haven't had a crazy or wild party. I could invent something but in this moment my imagination isn’t functioning. So, I will write about the last party that I went, it was three months ago. This was the birthday of my friend Claudia and she celebrates it in The Arcano Pub in Providencia; I went alone as an independent person XD.

Well, I don’t consider this one as a “wild party” but it was a great moment to know new people… and it was funny to stay in this celebration because all the persons were older than me and it was interesting to hear their conversations… there was a woman that related estrange stories and anecdotes.

Also, I remember some years ago, the celebration of the Carlita’s birthday together another (ex) classmates. That night we cooked sushi and we bought other things to eat and drink.

In both opportunities the consequences I think that they weren’t as you imagine (teacher huhuh) because I don’t drink alcohol… my mind was lucid and I can remember everything that happened. I don’t consider that to drink alcohol as a bad thing is only that I don’t like to taste it. So, I prefer to talk, or eat delicious things.

Maybe in the next years I could have a wild and crazy party… but I won’t write it in this blog jeje
