Post 3: Technology!

Greetings!

Today I’m going to talk about technology!  My favourite electric-metal-whatever thing is my iPod.  It is a portable media player, an artefact used to store all the music you like most.  In my fourteenth’s birthday (almost six years ago) my parents gave me a little box with a blue IPod inside. I was so happy!  Since then, I use my iPod almost every day and every hour until now. When I must go to the university, most of time I have to walk a lot, so this peculiar technologic thing is my only company. Also when I have to study or when I can’t get any sleep at night (sometimes I need to listen a lullaby to calm myself down and go back to Morfeo’s arms) … I can say my IPod helps me when I’m sad or tired. Funny, don’t you think?

I like it because it is small, portable, resistant (is the first delicate object in my life that I still keep it barely intact) and adorable, yes adorable… like a cute piece of blue metal. Easy to handle and it has a cool interface. 

Life without my iPod would be so boring and terrible (not joking). I can’t live without music L… not any kind of music (in that case it wouldn’t be a problem not having and iPod) is MY music what I need. And it is all there, in that piece of metal full of cables and electricity. Can you imagine?

Maybe my iPod is old and probably useless nowadays (it is an ancient version of apple’s iPods, one of the first ones I believe) but it is important to me, one of the best presents I have received! 

No more to say… See you next post!

Invincible! (Second Post)

Greetings! This day I’m going to talk about of my expectations for this new semester. It seems to be more difficult than the past one and you need to know why…

I am studying anthropology, and it’s my second year… I love my career but this semester I have six subjects (the past semester I only got five) and one of them is a true nightmare… I’m talking about statistics, a sort of mathematical chaos. It is too awful for me. So I need to do a lot of exercises every day to improve my skills on that area (If I work hard I will have the chance to pass the course… I think). I’m a little bit too obsessed with marks and studies in general so I’m working really hard this semester J but it’s okay, big rewards awaits for those who gives everything to do their best.

Also I am teaching assistant of two courses!  It is madness but I think is a great challenge and an opportunity to help other people with their courses. Besides, is a chance to learn how to teach and prepare the classes. I’m not very good at that but I hope to improve soon J. On the other hand, I really hate correcting  tests and put marks (but i have skills for that)… so I’m trying to be nice with the new students! After all they are in their first year.

Well… I didn’t take optional subjects or extracurricular activities, because my time is limited. In fact, I’m trying to do some sport to be in good shape (Like a perfect circle…oh, but it is a kind of shape after all, no?)

So, this is my semester… I think i will die.  However, it will be an amazing experience! After all is what I choose.

Tell my family I love them! Goodbye!

A Little about me :)

Oh Hi! My name is Amapola Saball López, I’m nineteen years old and I’ve studying here in the University of Chile since 2013.  How did I get here? Well… let’s talk about my life (I think nobody cares but whatever).

I was born in October 13th, on a beautiful spring day. I’m from Santiago, Chile and I have always lived here. I studied at Liceo Manuel de Salas and finally graduated in 2012. Then I passed the PSU and I was able go to the university and study anthropology, my big passion. I hope to work with a lot of people! Is a beautiful career, with a lot of information and hard work. I picked this career because i would like to travel, explore the world and new cultures. So I need to speak a lot of languages. Well, that is why I take this clase, because english is very important nowadays and it is a interesting language. Now in the world most of people use english for utility. So is useful learn it now when we are young. I spent a lot of time reading books in english, because a lot of texts aren’t in spanish and its difficult find a good translator.  I think speaking in English is more difficult than reading even translate, because in some ways the words sounds different and the pronunciation is weird, but it is an amazing accent, it is sounds funny.

The responsible for bringing me into this world are the same people who made me clean the bathroom every day (household that I hate) Yes, I’m talking about my parents, Jaime and Alma. They are good people and the make me feel secure, I love them so much and they love me too but they are very strict and sometimes really annoying . Both are the same age, 51 years old. My mother is a housewife and my father works managing buildings. Also I have a sister who is older than me; Amaranta is her name and she is very smart and funny (despite she is a crazy psychologist) is a great family.

Talking about my hobbies, I like listen to music, I love metal… A perfect circle, Ayreon, Rammstein are my favorites bands. But usually I listen (and sing) almost every kind of music. About sports I like to play football its too awesome! But I hate tennis; it’s bored, expensive and difficult.  Despite of sports I like to go out with my friends, always in friday evening we go to the cinema, because is cooler than go and watch movies in our homes, also we play videogames, we like to sing and do a lot of stupid things.

Hope you like it! Goodbye
