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.
