Evaluation

Writting this blog has been really fun and i wish we had done more because i think is a great way to practice your grammar and writting skills, you can realize what words and sentences you have trouble with and work on them. And also  you can improve your vocabulary and your really start to think in a different language. Another reason of why i think this kind of activity is great is because if you can't come to class you can still do it in your home or when you have free time so you still get the points for the activity. 
I feel that my writting skills have improve a lot compared to when we start writting the blogs because in the beginning i used to have a lot of problems to express myself and now i feel like is more easy for me to write in english and i feel more confident about my writting skills in general. I also feel like my vocabulary and grammar have improve during this time too. 
For future blogs i think it would be fun to write something about your hobbies and things you like to during your free time, like what sports you play or what places you like to go.

Christmas

Christmas is my favorite holiday and i usually spend it with my family. One of the traditions we have is that in Christmas eve we have dinner all together in my uncles house a and we wait until midnight to open the gifts. We also have lunch together in Christmas day and we see some of rhe family that was not in the dinner the previus night.
I think consumerism in Christmas is not really ok. For me Christmas is a holiday to spend with your family and friends, not to worry about materials things. I don't compleain about the gifts, i enjoy them as much as anybody else but i don't think that's all this holiday is about. I'm not christian so i don't really care for the religious meaning of Christmas but i still get to enjoy the holiday with my loved ones and i try to make this holiday more about sharing than consumerism.
I don't really give Christmas presents to my family, mainly because i save all my money in the bank but sometimes i give presents to my friends, nothing expensive but i make sure is still something they will enjoy. 
For Christmas i don't really care what people give me even if is something i don't like or that is not really my style and i will never use it, i will still we thankful that they thought of me and that they care enought to buy me something for Christmas.

Favorite series

I would say my favorite series is American Horror Story, what i like about this series is that each season is a different story. The first season is called "Murder House" and is about a family that moves into a haunted house. The second season is called "Asylum" and it takes place in an institution for the criminaly insane during the year 1964. The third season is called "Coven" and is about a coven of witches in modern New Orlands. The fourth season is called "Freak Show" and it tells the story about one of last freak shows in America during 1952. The last season is called "Hotel" and focuses on the staff and guests of a supernatural hotel. Also i really like the cast they use in the show, especially Jessica Lange.
I like to watch all kinds of series but i really like the ones that can amaze me, like when the story takes twist and the protagonist is really interesting. For example  Breaking Bad is also one of my favorite series  because it has that two things.
Because school takes most of my time i haven't been able to watch the new season of American Horror Story and i aslo want see Scream Queens. But i guest i will have to wait until summer vacation.

Future Job

For my future job I would like to work as a lawyer but I am not sure in what field yet, all I know is that I would like to work with a group of peolple that I can trust  so we can all share ideas and the work won't be as tiring as if you work only by yourself. I am a very lazy person so I would prefer that my job is indoor rather than outdoors because that way I don't have to moving around so much. I would like to travel in my job but not all the time because I would also like to stay at home and relax, besides traveling for job is not the same as traveling for pleasure you would still have to work and you would still be tired from the journey. I would like to work in a big office in downtown with a lot of space and with a good coffe shop near by. Right now I am in my second year of law school so there is a lot of time to think of what I would like to do went I finish school, knowing me I would probably change my mind one thousand times until I finally decide for one, But after I finish law school I would like to get a PhD in the area that I would like to work.

Favourite Movie

My favourite movie is "Midnight in Paris", it was written and directed by Woody Allen and it tells the story about a screenwriter called Gil Pender while he is in vacation in Paris with his fiancée and her parents. The reason of why I like this movie is because it explores themes of nostalgia and how sometimes we feel like we should had lived in a different time because we don't like our present. Also I love how they show Paris in the movie, especially the part of the 20' and everything in the movie was amazing, from the soundtrack to the cast which includes actors like Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams,Tom Hiddleston, Marion Cotillard and Adrien Brody. The first time I saw this movie was in 2011 in the cinema and I just love it. 
I like to watch all kinds of movies, from children movies like "Frozen" to really violent movies like "Kill Bill". But I would say my favourite type is fantsy movies.
The last movie I saw was "El Clan" that is a movie from Argentina about a real story that happen  in Buenos Aires at the beginning of the 80'. The movie was really good but it explores some really darks themes, so I would totally recommend it if you can look past that.

The Catcher In The Rye

I don't really remember the first book I read but I remember that I really liked to read children tales like "The happy prince" of Oscar Wilde or the Grimm brothers tales.
I don't really have a favorite author at the moment but my all times favorites are JK Rowling because of the "Harry Poter" saga and Athur Conan Doyle because of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
I like to read all kinds of books but I prefer the ones about mystery and were you don't really know there the stroty is going.
Of all the books I have read during my life The Catcher In The Rye is one of the best I have read and it has an special meaning for me. It was wrote by J.D. Salinger and it tell the story of Holden Caulfield afther he is expelled of his high school and he decides that he had enough, so he goes to stay in New York alone for some days. In fact I like this book so much that I read it spanish and in english that is his original language This book has been listed as one of the best novels of the twentieth century and is considered a calssic in the North American literature so if you haven't read it I highly recomment you do.
Right now I am reading "The Dunwich Horror" of H.P. Lovecraft that is one of the most famous horror fiction authors ever.

Best concert


If i have to choose the best concert i have ever been to, it will be Paul McCartney concert the 11 of May 2011 in Estadio Nacional. Paul McCartney was one of The Beatles and they are my favourite of all times. He compose and sing most of the band biggest hits alongside John Lennon.After the Beatles' break-up , McCartney continued his musical career with a solo album and after that he create a new band called "The Wings", he had many hits song with this band but the come to an end in 1980 and Paul continued as a solo artist. 
The concert was at night and there was people form all ages, from youngs kids to old people. It was a great atmosphere because we were all gathered there because we love the same music regardless of what age we were.During the concert i felt very emotional because some song had an especial meaning for me but i really enjoy it because i was a really great experience lisent  the song live instead of just recorded.
