Fierce loyalty.


I am not a man of many friends, actually it is difficult for me  to generate deep emotional bonds with people I know. I can be very friendly in the surface, but I cannot emotionally depend on others. I am usually like that, but since I came to study at the University of Chile, some things have changed in me.
One of those things is that I have a best friend. His name is JP and I met him in the first year of college, just when I entered to study. I really do not remember how or when I met him, but I remember when we started to be real friends. We went to the Valdivia Film Festival to learn and consume high culture, by the way we did that, but we where absolutely every night at parties and putting us on the sly to exclusive and expensive places, dancing with unknown girls, escaping from angry boyfriends and violent guards. But those things were only minor details, the important thing was the long talks and walks we had and we still have. That and the fierce loyalty is what unites us.

Did I really learn?



The end of a cycle, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the kiss mom before bedtime; our period of English classes is now closed, but, did I really learn? Do I like writing in English in a blog? Let’s see:
My command of the language of Shakespeare is better than a couple of months, yes, I honestly think so. I can write more easily, and my sentences are not "open the window" or "close the door", but I still have much to learn and I think I could get more of  this class of English and its methodology.
I think if I had attended more regularly to classes of English or if I liked to use digital tools, my results would have been much better. But, I can say in my defense that I couldn’t attend all classes because my schedule is very tight for the work and other classes and because a month ago my mother became very ill and I joined her in their treatments.
I liked the methodology of the class because it's learning by doing and that's very practical, dynamic and entertaining (although I hate computers, I detest and they do not like me, is mutual!). 
I hope that the methodology is perfected on the personalization in the evaluation of each student, but continue to deepen in the way that delivers interactive content. Regarding the teacher, I have only good words.
