This is the last blog I am going to write for the English course, as the semester ends I think it is good to analyze what happened during the year. This year has been very special to me for different reasons. One is because this is my last year as a regular student of the university and it generates many emotions. In addition, in the personal aspects have happened very significant facts that have helped me grow even more as a person. The focus will be analyzed as has been my academic year I going to tell all that happened this year and the different emotions that stirs confront the last year of my career.

As mentioned above, this is the last year as a regular student of the university, I am going to finish with all subjects and next year I am starting to make my practice and the continuation of my thesis, I say continuation because this semester together with my classmates are working on the topic that interests in our research, what we're doing now is call seminary degree and is the first part of our future thesis.

The seminar grade is one of the things that has occupied much of my time this last semester, I even spent sleepless nights working on the research,this has required much time, we near the deadline and with my group we are reviewing the latest details, I know that it will be ok because we have put much effort into it. Moreover, this year has been very stressful because in addition to the seminar, we have classes in which we have to do many jobs, although this is part of the university I feel that this year it was more exhausting than other years of university. There are subjects of which I have learned a lot this year, for example math, I had a conflict with the subject at school because my grades were not very good but now in University I realized that there is a more enjoyable way to learn, another class that I like is practice because here I put into practice all the knowledge acquired in the classroom, I love interacting with children, teach and learn from them.

Analyzing the end of semester, I have scrambled feelings .One hand I am happy to think that I end my career and get my degree next year. On the other hand I think is sad stop being a student and no attend more to University, leave behind the meetings with friends, the benefits of being a student and it begin a adult life thinking about work, keep house and everything they entail.

Overall this year has been very good, although as I mentioned before has been an exhausting, it remains the most important year of my career because I've enjoyed the most with my friends, and I've met people who are now part important of my life. I´ve had some very interesting subjects as other very boring and insignificant for my professional development, I believe that much of my time I spent in seminary , I think we did a good job with my classmates.There is now only making the last effort and finish the last subjects and then take a well deserved holiday and recharge energy to start a new challenge as it is professional practice.

Today I am going to write about the infrastructure of my faculty. Which is a four-story building, and we can find several advertisements and posters on their walls as well as drawings that depict the same students for different reasons, I like how is the infrastructure, also it has a bridge or rather is known well by students, which serves as a meeting center, out to eat or smoke with friends.

The faculty should be improved several things. First,it has four career of the university and therefore it has many students and there are spaces that are too small for all students, is the case of the study room to be enabled this year, it is located next to the casino and it has not enough capacity for students work properly. Another aspect to improve is the casino, this place meet teachers and students and often it do not have tables available for lunch because space is insufficient especially in winter where people can not opt out to lunch elsewhere by the weather. I must also mention that our school library does not have the necessary equipment, this year I've noticed that many books are missing important because for my seminar I had to research several authors and in the library does not have.

To improve this situation, the university should be held responsible for creating a study place for students, I think it is our right to have a comfortable and pleasant to be able to perform our work, in college there are still unused space which could serve as a study hall or a casino with a capacity that corresponds to the number of students. With regard to library materials should be required for an early acquisition and renewal of books, you can apply for funding or contests to acquire new material.

I think these problems have existed since long before I entered University and it is a shame that is still not resolved, but we hope that both students and university administrators come to an agreement to improve the infrastructure of our faculty.

In this occasion I write about the kind of music that I like and what it means in my life.

Every morning on the way to the University I listen music because this has become a relaxation therapy for me, it helps me forget the crowded buses, the people arguing with the driver, also I help me to wake up in the morning and arrive with more energy to the University.

My favourite kind of music is the salsa, merengue and reggaeton, I like the music that is lively and conveys a lot of energy also I really like this kind of music for dance and my favourite singer is Marc Anthony I love him, because he is very cheerful and I like all his songs, I have two CD`s of him I received as birthday gift of my mother and my best friend, also this year I went to his concert at the Movistar Arena, I could see that sings very well in live, also I went to see a Wisin y Yandel a reggaeton group in the same place, I went with my sister and some friends we had a great time. I enjoyed these two shows.

In my computer I have a lot of music of Marc Anthony and reggaeton group I free download it from internet because the original CD´s are too expensive.

While I listening to music I love to sing, I learn the songs very easy, but my musical skills are not very good because I do not sing very well and the only instrument that I play is the flute because I lernerd it in the school

Finally the music is very important to me because as I mentioned before is a relaxation therapy, especially in these days of the end of semester, I am so stressed for the last test and the music gives me joy and energy to deal with difficult things.

The cinema is always a good option for me, I love to go with friends, my family and especially my boyfriend, the last time I went to the movies was with him, we were about a month ago, the movie we saw was called "The Hangover" was a very funny comedy the whole plot takes place around a bachelor party, we laugh a lot, we spent a very entertaining evening. We know that sometimes not very convenient to go to the movies for the cost of their tickets, but we find days that are cheaper, Because watching a movie at home is not the same as having a giant screen and sound gives more emotion to the movie.

My favorite movie is “CrazyBeautiful” , director John Stockwell. It's a love story that happens in the city of Angels in America, and in which is reflected racial discrimination to Latinos in this country. The protagonists of history are, a teenager, rich, spoiled daughter of a powerful lord knows no boundaries, and he is a young and his classmate, he is the son of poor Mexican Latin Quarter.

What begins as a friendship ends in a tortuous affair, as they must overcome many obstacles put by both families, throughout the film we also see how are you dominate difficulties in a time of self-destruction of the couple.

This movie I saw long time ago and yet his story still captivates me, it is not only the romantic story is happening but invites us to reflect on racial discrimination that occurs in countries such concurrent theme that is today in our country.

Santiago is a city crowded and it is growing more each day, we can find a mix of beautiful buildings dating from colonial times to large and modern buildings of today.I think the places you should visit are:

The first, The Parque Metropolitano de Santiago, is the largest urban park in Chile and one of the largest in the world. For tourists is an ideal place to get an overview the city of Santiago. We can find beautiful green areas, play outdoor sports like hiking, biking, yoga. Addition is located on San Cristobal hill, which has a monument of the Virgin Mary, we also find the swimming pool and Tupahue Antilles and the National Zoo, the park entrance is very cheap and you can find deals.

Another place of Santiago that I recommend visiting is the Plaza de Armas and its environs, is considered the historical center of the capital of our country was founded jointly with the city of Santiago, in the environment originated we can find the main administrative buildings of the time. Now we can appreciate their environment the Cathedral of Santiago, which has a very beautiful architecture, the Municipality of Santiago, Correos de Chile and the National History Museum, these are buildings that were built in colonial times for other purposes, but today retain their original architecture intact.

Thirdly we should visit the house of our national poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda called "the Chascona", which was declared a national monument . The house has a significant amount of books, paintings and other objects gathered throughout his life.

Another place is the Central Market, considered one of the most beautiful buildings of the era. Our country is characterized by offering a variety of tasty seafood. In this place people can enjoy a variety of restaurants which offer delicious and varied seafood dishes.

Also, our country is also famous for its wines, which is why to learn more about the history of wine in our country, I recommend visiting the Vineyard Cousino Macul, which is dedicated to the production and export of wine in this visit your may access to a journey through the beautiful vineyard, also tastings of various wines that are produced there.

My favourite TV serial is Dr.House, is an American serial which premiered in 2004 by the Fox television network, is a medical drama serial. The main character is Dr. Gregory House, played by British actor Hugh Laurie, the series revolves around this special character is a misanthrope, medical genius, egotistical and a strong personality, who heads the department of Diagnostic Doctor of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

This serial is the Dr.House with his medical team found the explanation for the puzzling clinical cases admitted to the hospital. The medical team is comprised of Dr. Cameron who is in charge of the Section of Immunology, which is constantly disturbed by the Doctor for being a beautiful woman, which should not have studied medicine. Then there is Dr. Foreman who is Neurologist and he feels constantly attacked by his boss, but knows that he does because he believes a good doctor. Also this Dr.Chase, who is regarded as an opportunist from a wealthy family and is constantly harassed by Dr. House for this reason. Another important character is the Dr.Wilson, is the head of the Department of Oncology and the only friend of Dr.House, he is the only who dares to to confront and talk sincerely with him.

I like to watch this TV serial, because I find very interesting. First, clinical cases shown attract attention and create an atmosphere of uncertainty, , also you begin to formulate their own hypotheses of the cases presented. On the other side of the protagonist's personality is very irreverent, shows disrespect for the rules, procedures and protocols and that attract considerable attention.

This television series is already in its fifth season and have been adding new characters, is now broadcast on Mondays at 20:00, by Universal cable signal and it can also be seen on Channel 7, but very late at night.

I recommend this series because it is very entertaining and also we can learn a little medicine, and who invites us to believe us, doctors and researchers of the more strange

cases we can imagine.
