My best holidays

Today, I'm going to tell you about my best holidays. I always wanted to visit another country, and in this journey I could do it.
In the summer of 2011, exactly in January I had my study tour. All my classmates, the head teacher and some guardians went by bus to the south of Chile and then to Argentina. It was a very funny and unforgetable experience. We started the journey on 3 January; the first place that we visited was "Salto del Laja", it is a beautiful waterfall, but it's small if you compare it with anothers famous waterfalls like "Cataratas de Niagara" or "Cataratas del Iguazu". In the next day, we arrived to a natural reserve (sorry, I can't remember the name) and in this place we got on a cargo vessel and cross a big lake; after this, we got on the bus again. It took 3 days to arrive to Argentina (stay 3 days on the bus without a shower obviously wasn't the best part of the journey!). We arrived exactly in Bariloche, a wonderful place, with amazing landscapes of lakes, mountains and forest. In Bariloche things are very cheap comparated with Chile (things like CD's or books). Bariloche is famous because of its chocolates, they are very cheap and so tasty!; the people who lives there were very  very kind with all of us. In our stay we played bowling and pool, visited the most important places, and swam in a temperated swimming pool.
It was a very exhausting journey, but I could see beautiful places and share with my friends all the days... definitively these were my best holidays ;)

I wanna go to...

Hi, today I will talk about the country I want to visit someday. This country is Greece... I chose this country because his history is very attractive for me, and its landscapes seemed very beautiful to me. 

I don't know so much about actual history, but about the ancient history I know a little more; the ancient Greece is called "the birthplace of Western civilization", because here born democracy, Western philosophy, Olympic Games, Western literature, the study of History, Policy, Math and Science!
I love its legends, which talk about gods, demigods, sirens, Minotaur, and a wide range of mythical creatures... I think they are very interesting and exciting... one of my favorite is the legend called "Odyssey", which talk about a warrior who want to come back to his house in Itaca after the war in Troya, for this, he had to pass very difficult tests. In Itaca his wife was waiting for him. At last, it took ten years to Odiseo (the warrior) to come back to Itaca.
In Greece, I want to visit every important place on there, for example, the Parthenon. 
I'd like to study in Greece because I really love this country, but I think I will have problems with the language!

My first term

My first term of 2012 was in general unusual, because I lived a lot of new things. First of all I had my first experience at university... it was strange because there, things are so different compared with the school. All my life I studied in schools only for girls, and now I'm with a lot of boys, and of course, the requirements are demanding...  it took a lot of getting used to. Here, in the university, I learned new things, new skills, and they were very interesting... I used the majority of my time studying. 

In my spare time (I didn't have much of this) I tried to draw to my favorite musical artists, like Kurt Cobain, Dave Mustaine, and Chino Moreno... I don't think they are great drawings but I enjoyed this activity. Also, I took a subject called "Danza" (Dance) and it was very funny and a great stress reliever.

Regarding to my friends, I could be just few times with them, because they were in the university too, so we didn't have so much time for meetings or things like that, and also we don't live so near, so it was very difficult to meet. This was hard for me because I used to see them every day the last year.

So, this first term I lived new things, good and bad, but everything I lived  is a new experience for me, and it helped me to grow up.
