Some stuff about my first term

Last class we had to write about ourselves, and I told you that I'm currently studying Sociology at Universidad de Chile. Today I'm supposed to write about my first semester, so...



Sociology... It's very difficult to describe what this is all about, I can't even explain it clearly to my friends so I'm not going to write and essay about it, I'll only talk about my experience. I usually say that I didn't learn a lot about the different subjects we had (Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, History and Methodology), but last Saturday, at I party with my friends I realized that in fact I did learn a little bit about some stuff. We were talking about politics and the social consequences of the dictatorship that ruled our country with an iron fist -Pinochet was friends with Margaret Thatcher... just saying-, so later I remembered some of the things I said and I was really happy with some of the things I said, because it meant I truly learned something. 



Apart from the compulsory classes I took an artistic subject, Creative Writing, where we had to write (obviously) some stuff according to the contents we were studying (poetry, figures of speech, etc.). I really liked that class, but I failed it because I didn't have enough attendance (it wasn't mainly because I was irresponsible, it was because I miscalculated the amount of classes I was allowed to not attend). I also was in the Sociology Student Center (I'm still there), and I had a lot to do, so at the end of the semester I was very tired.

I didn't have a lot of problems with university, I had more personal issues and I'm still not over them, but I try not to pay attention to them. About my life outside the university, I'd like to tell you about my cats, because my mother took home a very pretty estranged female kitty, Princesa. She was very shy at first but now she is a lot more happy and extroverted. Well, she came with a little surprise. At my house, she had 4 kittens, and one of them stayed with us, her name is Julieta. Watching them grow up was a very beautiful and fun experience, and they brought happiness and troubles to my home. 

I think all of this is a little bit too long, so now I'm going to close this window and hope you read the thing I wrote, cheers!

PS: Here, have a happy picture! :D
