My year

Well, I think a good thing that happened in my life was when we got our little puppy named snoopy, he is like my little brother and I really love him, when I'm sad he cheered me up with his toys and running around looking for them, I really think that he is a very important part of my family and that's why I considered him a good thing that happened in my life.

I don't remember any situation that did not go so well, everytime something bad happened in my life I just wait and the time solve it for me, so yeah, I don't remember any really bad thing, I've not had any problem with my family, neither in school nor university, so I can say I'm a person with luck in this aspect. 

My achievements this year were that I was able to were positive in my normal life so I learn to control my emotions  and stay positive with the things that were happening to me, another achievement was to learn to arrange my times so I was able to study with time and this arrange was very good for me because my grades got better than one year ago, so I'm very happy about that.

I think I had done almost everything I wanted to this year, I think the only thing I didn't do and it was because I didn't have the time, was to read more, I have a lot of books in my house that I really want to read but I don't have the time because the University consume almost all my reading time and that's really frustrating, in my summer vacations I would read like a maniac, that's a fact. 

I think a very important thing that had happened in my life this year is that I fell in love, is a very corny thing but for me is very important because in this very moment I'm extremely happy because of this, another important thing that happened was, like I already said, that my grades got higher and that helped me to believe in myself, and well, I think everything is going very well for me. 

English Language Challenges

I really enjoyed this subject in the University. I liked the way the class was, we had to talk everything in English and, after all, that is the best way to practice English, you can know a lot about grammar but if you don't know how to pronounce or you don't understand the other person who's talking to you, you're are lost.

I don't think the use of blogs was the best way to learn or practice English, I think it is better to talk in English, like I already said, but well, that's my personal opinion. I don't think blogs were a bad way to learn english, I really enjoyed them, but I don't think it is the best way to do it. 

I really need to improve the speaking part of the English. I can understand everything someone tell me in English, but it is very difficult for me to formulate the same sentence because I'm not use to speak in English, this language is not my born language so I'm not use to speak it everyday, that's my principal problem and I really need to improve that. I was thinking about taking some classes in some English institute so I would be able to talk in English constantly. I was also thinking about read in English all over again; I used to read almost everyday in English when I was in school, but I lost that habit when I entered into the University (I almost don't have time to read any other book that it is not in the program of my classes). When I read constantly in English everything was awesome because I was use to do that and I didn't even realized I was actually reading in other language, it was something natural for me, I miss those days. 

Well, this days, like I already said, I'm not using my English that much, I only use it when I'm on the internet (almost everything is in English in there, well, at least the webs I visit) or sometimes when my dad ask me to translate an email for him, but that's all. I really feel bad about saying that bacause some years ago I used English almost everyday, but I'm going to get back into those days, that's a promise I'm making to myself.  

Let's recycle!

The word "recycle" has been part of my language since I've memory, my family have always recycled and helped the enviroment with this practice, well, it is not all my family, just my mom, but as I'm very close to her I learned this from her. 

I always separate the things to take them to this special place where they recieve all the stuff, like, when I drink a can of soda I always put it apart, not in the normal trash with all the other things, so yeah, I think I've incorporated these recycling habits in my life and they don't bother me at all, I really like to do these things, I feel like I'm helping to have a better world in the future. 

Well, I'm not that green, I don't use a bike and I don't like to walk that much, the only "green" thing I do is recycling, I don't really like to ride a bike so I think that's why I'm not interested in that kind of thing.

As I said I separate the trash in my house, I'm not in any kind of eco-organization or something, I don't think I've to join an organization to help with something, I can do it on my own in my house without the need of an organization 

After we separate everything with my mom we always go to a supermarket near our house where they receive the recycling and leave everything there, it is like a routine for me and my mom and I really love it, it is something we are use to do, like a mom and daughter time. Something that my mom and me would like to do is to have a compost to put all the organic waste, but we can't have it in our house because it is not that big, so the smell of that would be awful, although we have thought to buy a special compost for small places (it is like a trash can) but we haven't bought it just because we've forgot about this. 

I don't think I've ever thought about reducing my carbon foorprint, I don't know how I can reduce that and it has never crossed my mind to do it, I'm not sure if with the things I already do I reduce this footprint or not, but well, let's hope it does. 

I think a very important thing to teach in school when we are young is about recycling, it is not that hard, it is not something that's impossible or that would take a lot of time, so I really think that the most important thing here is to teach the young kids about that, and well, it would be awesome to have more places to take the recycling, because sometimes there are not that many places so you have to drive and drive just to leave all your recycling because some places just receive certain kind of things (bottles, tetrapak and newspaper) and not all the other things that you can recycle like cans, plastic bags, batteries, and so many other things, and it is really annoying to arrive to that place and realize that you can't leave your recyling there because they only receive some things. 

$ Money $

Well, money for me is not the most important thing in life, yeah, I know that unfortunately you need to have money so you can have a "good" life, but for me money is not the number one thing in my list, I just think it is more important to enjoy life and well, earn money (even though is a little amount) doing the things you love, that's the most important thing. 

When I do have money I use to spend it in concert tickets or clothes, actually I think those are the only things I spend my money on all the time. I love going to shows so that's why I don't care spending money in that and I actually love to spend my money on that, and well, buying clothes is something that I really enjoy doing, is to look for cute dresses or well, anything. 

I think I'm pretty good at managing my budget just because I don't spend that much money, as I've already said I only buy concert tickets or clothes so I'm not a big of a spender so I've my money for a long time, sometimes I've the money from a job I have every January almost every year.

I've never thought about the fact of being a millionaire so I don't think I'm going to have a decent answer for this, I think I'm just going to have a childish answer but well. I think if I was a millionaire I would love to buy tickets to every concert I want to or travel around the world without caring about the fact that I might run out of money at any moment. That would be great, to go to a lot of countries and just have fun. 

I don't have anything that has a big value, I think the most valuable thing I have are my guitars and well, I think that might be the only thing that I could pawn and get some money out of it, I would hate to do that because I love my guitars but if I have no choice I think it would be the only thing that I would have to do because well, I don't have rings or jewelry.
