God



My very best vacations were on 2005. This vacation are special to me because they change my life, since then I’m a new man.  



In the summer of 2005, specifically in month of February of this year, I was hanging out with my friends on the “Las cruces” beach. This we were drinking, in particular I had drink a lot of beers, so one of my friends had the “good idea” of “go to swim”. Little time later, we were swimming, it should be clarified that the tide was high. Immediately afterwards, I was swept out to sea by the current. Thank to the lifeguard I’m alive.

How I say recently, since then my life takes a turn. From this day I convert to religion. From this day God enlighten my heart. From this day I realized that the life is not only for party, the life has a meaning. This meaning is love God.



Now I’m a catholic. I go to the mass every Sunday of the year.
Summing up, Thank to a bad experience I could change my life.
Thank for read this. Bye.

Bolivia, Tiahuanaco


Hello teacher and classmates:

Thinking about what country I'd like to visit or live. I notice that I don´t have idea of where I'd like visit. But I’ll make an effort. My first decision is that the selected country must be in South America. Because all those countries are near to Chile. Besides, in most of those countries the people speak Spanish, so the communication with them could be easier.


The Gate of the Sun is a megalithic solid stone arch or gateway constructed by the ancient Tiwanaku culture of Bolivia over 1500 years before the present. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_of_the_Sun)

Well, let me chose a country… I think that I’d like to visit in Bolivia. What I prefer Bolivia? Well, because Bolivia has a many interesting place to know. But, I have only one in mind when I chose Bolivia. This place is Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku). It’s an archaeological site. This ruins belonged to an Tiwanaku Culture, one of the most important precursors to the Inca Culture (or Inca Empire).  This culture begins approximately between 2000 and 1500 B.C. and finish close to 900 or 100 A.D. 



The pre-columbian ruins are near to the Titicaca Lake, approximately 15km. of distance. Besides, the ruins are 72km. from the city La paz of Perú. If you ask me why I prefer go to Tiwanaku than Machu Picchu. The answer is very simple, because Machu Picchu is too mainstream. Jajajaja Bye-bye

First term

Hi! my name is Miguel. I'm 24 years old and I live in Maipu. I'm a fourth year student of sociology at University of Chile. 


I spend almost all my time studing

In first term I had 7 subject, namely: public policy, investigation workshop, theory V, sociology of comunication, Structure and social action  in Latin America, "investigación acción participante" workshop and english III. One of de good points about the subjects was that the most of them give pratice knowledge. In other words, the subjects of the first term was designed to "make sociology", not to "think the society". This kind of knowledge is very interesting for me, because I 'm a person that enjoy be in action, in movement. So I prefer make things than think the things.
By contrast, one of the bad points of first term was that I don't had enough time to my hobbies like read novels, play videogames, hanging out with my friends, etc. My only one hobby in first term was stay in the campus drinking some beers with my clasemate like Omar.
