I love this one-


So, this is my favourite picture. It was taken at the lincoln memorial in D.C. by my hostmother Liza while we were on a trip to virginia for a funeral of a friend of liza´s mom. that day we took a long walk through the mall of washington D.C. and we went to all the museums that we could, then we went to the WWII memorial and we save the lincoln memorial for the last. I am a big fan of lincoln because he was one of the greatest presidents in the history of america and he was such a pragmatic man that could do everything not thinking on his convenience of the convenience of the parties that he represented, but he did the things thinking on the common good. so I was very excited when we got there. It is a beatiful place that remind us the bases of democracy and civil rights. Although it was a sad reason for a trip, I DID HAVE AN AWESOME TIME! I loved D.C. since we arrived there, is such a beatiful city, full of tress and huge parks to go out running with your dog, they have amazing places to eat and the houses and neighbourhoods are amazing. If I had to choose a place to live, I would live there.

your body

a) Which of the suggestions mentioned here are you actually following, or thinking of following soon?
I´m taking care of my self trying to stay in some every night I can, thats because I spend so much time reading and preparing my self to class that I barely sleep sometimes, so If I have some free time I spend it sleeping or just relaxing at home with my boyfriend.

b) With your teacher, talk about the meaning of these phrases from the article:

Your puppy fat has gone and you have your own place? I dont really know what this means, but Im guessing that is something related to this new independence we have got coming to college.
Give your liver a breather: It means that you need to take a break to relax or is going to make you feel stressed out even more.
Quaff beer with your mates: drinking every time you have the chance with your friends of school, oftenly.
Stock up on plump, fresh fruit : eat fresh food like fruits and vegetables, making yourself healthy.
Do regular hamstring stretches: do some exercice to warm up your body and make your self more muscular or atractive.
Many blokes regard their 20s as their cowboys-don’t-cry decade: it is very typical that guys of our age have a very bad life style doing exercice all the time and drinking beer and going out late, which is not good at all.

http://www.scielo.cl/


I found this website while doing research on the internet for my class oh theory of the administration. It has been very helpful so I thought to sharing it with you guys!
Its basically a scientific library on line with a collection of science magazines, papers and other kind of material. The good thing is that is sponsored by CONAZYT (Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica), so is a secure primary resource.
I use this link every time I need extra help to understand what the authors are saying in the texts I don’t understand very well, trough critics and commentaries on the articles of the magazine. It leads you to great conclusions and it gives you a different perspective, which is good when you want to make an elaborated answer. Makes life so much easier, I hope you can use it for all classes and for the rest of the career. Have fun with it!

My fav! :)


This is my favorite high tech object.

I can’t really tell of how much this has changed my life. My mom got me this new laptop a couple of weeks ago; I really needed it for school. So she bought it for me. Although it was quite expensive, it is well equipped so I hope is going to last for a few years. The reason I like it so much is because is so useful these days to have a computer I can take with me to school, to my friends house for studying, or just to hold it on my legs while I´m watching TV. Since I often need to do summaries of the texts I read, to get info on the internet and then work with it, my laptop makes it easier for me. It is way faster that my old computer and it holds way more much information than the other one could.
I think one of the best things ever invented was this one, Life happens so fast, it can´t wait! So you need to be faster… and I think this is my way to do that.

Introducing... *Myself*


Welcome everyone to my awesome blog!
In this moment I’m thinking that you might be wondering who on earth am I and what am I doing posting random stuff on the internet (not that I would have an option).
In case you actually mind about it, I would like to share with you some of my “must know” so you can relate to me and my blog better.
I’m from San Felipe and I was born in 1991, my parents named me Javiera because of my mom and I actually think is a pretty decent name. At least I wouldn’t change it.
So far, The best thing in my life has been studying abroad for a year in Colorado. It changed my world! I totally recommend the cultural experience.
I would say I’m a straight simple person who likes to be honest. I also think one of the greatest things in your day to day life is letting people know that you are happy and I always try to answer with a smile. People who are grumpy make the environment grumpy with them. So, yeah… I like to be surrounded of people like me. I too appreciate a lot the wisdom and knowledge in other people, I want to be a wise person one day.
I’m always open to meet new people and new experiences so if your reading my post, this is a way of intensifying my experience in the English class. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have a blog ;) Lets meet each other soon !
