This summer

My family right now is not in a very good position for big expenses; I have had three surgeries this year, so money is a little limited for this summer. 

Even with that, my parents did a tremendous effort and my sister is travelling to Los Angeles, California in January for a month, to do an “English course”, but of course it’s just a vacation. 

Because all of this me and my parents have decided not to do much for the summer vacation and we are going to stay here in Santiago most of the time.

I’m going to miss my sister very much, but I’m really happy she has this opportunity to go to the United States before turning 18 and graduating from school, she’s going to have the time of her life. 

Meanwhile I’m going to stay here, and I have some plans like working, just sleeping all day or meet with my friends, I still haven’t decided what I will do, maybe I’ll do everything. 

 Of course because I will stay at my house almost all the summer I will be with my family most of the time when they are not working, but also it’s very likely that we are going to visit my grandparents for a few days in Viña del Mar, so if everything goes right I will still have the chance to go to the beach in my vacations, and that’s really good, because I think that a summer vacation without going the beach it’s not really good.

Changes?

Last year, when I enter to this university, it was the first year of a curricular change in the plan of subjects of my career, and that caused that many of the classes and methods that we were doing were different than the ones from years before.

This changes, actually, aren't terrible, the teachers are conscious of this and they have adapted their classes to suit this new style.

It's not bad, but I think there are still, although minor, some things to improve in the classes; first of all I think it will be a good idea to add more hours of class to certain subjects and in more days, because now I'm feeling like it's not enough, it's not that bad of a problem but it can improve easily.

It would be good if in the places to study that are here, people wouldn't be so loud and distracting, and also happens that some of the computers in here are left very badly by the people that use them, so it would be good to have someone who checks on them often.

About the teachings methods I have nothing to complain, I trust in my teachers and their experiences, so I know they work in a way that they have seen work in students through all the years.

I think I don't have much of complains about where I study, I love being here and I also feel very proud of it, so I would just like to improve some things here that I know have a lot of potential.
