The end is close

Today I'm going to talk about the things I've done and what it’s left to be done in this year.

Many things have happened in my life this year, like having new classes, meet new people and travel out of the city. But, the things that mark this year as one of the most contrasting were the death of two of my pets. The first one was my dog and her name was Didi, she died in January 1° because of her age and the second one was Mac, the dog of my nephew. Mac died the last Saturday because some stupid taxi driver hit him. My brother loved him and is suffering a lot because of it.

On the other hand, this year I had to do my monograph and it was so liberating delivers it, because, with all my friends, we were so stressed and full of other things to do. It is gratifying watch how your hard work gives its results, but despite all the essays and homework we had deliver we still stressed until the years finally ends and, even then, there will be one awful week of exams.

What I am really worried about it’s for the end of the courses, because I can’t fail in any of them. My bachelor grade depends of my approved courses. But well, somehow I will pass the year, one way or another I will survive.


An important event I would like to highlight is the travel my friends and I did a few weeks ago. We went to Concepción for a physics anthropologist meeting and we learned about many projects and research related with the area. It was really interesting and stimulating because someday, we will have to do the same and this kind of experiences may be used for our future jobs.

Bye bye :D

Food and Eating Habits

Food is necessary to live, but this doesn't mean that all of us have the same eating habits. For example, many friends of mine are vegetarian but I’m not, which doesn't mean we can’t eat together or something like that. The only consideration I have when we have lunch together is not to offer to them something with meat.
With the life style I have and because the university, I don’t have much time to lunch, so fast food restaurants are favorite places to lunch. Besides, sometimes I’m a little late for class so saving time is my priority.
For that reason, my eating habits are not appropriate and my mom is always telling me that I have to eat healthier, more salad or less fried food. I don’t read the nutritional information because is too boring and tedious, however, time is precious and read that information haven’t care me before.
I think fast food shouldn't been sold in school cafeterias, because all the damage it can provoke in children health, more when they don’t know what is better for them and they just bought what they like above healthy food. We need to care about children and their weight because in the future those problems may lead to other consequences.
I've always care about my weight but not in an extreme way, so I have been on many diets but, even if I want to follow it to complete the goal, the time I follow the diets are just for days and not something more prolonged. My resistance is not too strong, so I give up quickly.
