Hi everyone, today is the last blog, sad, but life continues so lets talk about my experience learning English at the university, if I'm honest this is my one and only english class here, so i can't compare anything jaja, except with the school ones. The classes had been so similar so it not was a suffering for me, I think that i learnt a lot and improve my knowledge. The blogs let me improve my writing and reading, i think i can write faster now, also i learnt a lot of new words and know new things is amazing. I think I need to get more confidence for talk with others and keep practicing my writing, the only way to improve this is keep learning and watching english. In my day to day I don't use English but normally is for help my little brothers with their english homework also i use english when i watch series and movies, sadly the university doesn't let me do it, for that i only want to been on vacation. Well, that's all. Thank you for reading me.

Hi everyone! Change is something that happen surprinsingly, but for our little EGGP is something that everyone konws the necessity of it. Related to the curriculum remove useless courses, i know our courses had been changed four years ago, but that is even the half of the way, change was the first step, but we have to noticed the bad ones. Also change the methods is important, we are learning as our grandfathers, well maybe as our fathers, but our generation has a new way of learning and all the courses has to update. Another modify is related to infrastructure, we don't have elevator, even if we don't have a person who moves in a Wheelchair, our comunity has fathers and mothers, people who moves a baby carriage, also the space is not enought for all of us, i know vicuña mackenna 20 is a dream, but when people decided our new "home" maybe authorities had to thinking better, because they open more quota of "mechones" and for that the space is less, also ...

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called “mechoneo”? "Mechoneo" started as a way to give a nice welcome to new people of any university, but actually it torns in a kind of torture for the begging people, so when this ritual is like that i think that is a very bad situaton. Nevetheless, some degrees started to...

About Mexico I know some things; in 1910 they have the Mexican Revolution, is Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Pancho Villa, Octavio Paz, Luis Miguel and another icons birth country, and is the only country where Axolotl lives. Furthermore, Mexico was the territory of Aztec, where they built their pyramids. That all my knowledge of Mexico, until now, but if you ask me, would like to you live in here? My answer is no, if someday I come here after know everything, or almost everything, and eat many tacos in every style of them. I’d like the idea of start the route of Roberto Bolaño, when he comeback to Chile in 1974. Bye, take care of you.
