#8 My sweet friends

I love my friends, I think that without they my life would not be the same. I consider my friends like fun persons, I love when we all laugh at the same time, and go to everywhere with they. In the university my friends and I form a group of 8 persons. We all studied journalism in the same year of career. Other caracteristic our is that all we living in differents areas of Santiago. For example, my friend Cami lives in  La Reina, Woody and Nacho in "Santiago centro", my friend Rojo in Quilicura while Pauli and Pamplinas -this is not your real name- lives in Maipú, finally I live in Cerrillos. 

But the distance is not a trouble for us. We always found the way to stay togheter besides the time to spend in the University. We like to go to concerts of all the bands taht we love, and planning tour trought the city, like the time tath we go to Cerro San Cristóbal and eat a lot in a mini picnic that we make.

About my childhood friends, I keep a few of them, but the contact is not the same because we study in differents universitys, and obviously, in differents parts of Santiago, like Caro, that study obstetrics at the USACH. Even out of the capital, like my other friend names Cami, that study medicine in Valdivia.

I don't consider that I make friends easily, in fact I think is the opposite. I think is lucky that I have found a group of friends like this. In the school I haven't the same fortune with my classmates, but I shared with my partners without problems.

#7 How green the world is?

The most of people haven't the habit of recycling anything of the garbage that produces everyday. One simple example of this, is the idea of throw all the trash in the same bag, instead of separarting in containers of glass, aluminuim, organic trash, plastic, etc. I think that recycling beggins at home, with the parent's education. At the same time, in the school must be a green education for the students, since they are little to the end of the scolarship. I recognize that my habits isn't very green. 

Most of time I forgot separated the trash or take a short shower, but also I considerer myself good recycling drink cans all the time; when I walk in the street I take the trouble to collect every can that I see. The same when I came at a party, and this is a little more embarrising, because I must talk with the owner and see what said to me, although they never bother with my porpouse. All of this I make it to my little sister, that study in a especial school and they coleccts cans and tea bags for wheelchairs and others implement that the students need it. Sadly, I have my bike stolen and I run out of money for buy me a new one. 

For other side, I love walking, and I would really like walk to my university all days, but I can't because I live too far from the campus, for this reason I took the bus everyday, because is cleaner that to use the car.

#6 Literature and books

I consider myself like a bookworm, but when I was a child I hated the books with my soul. The reason? The literature that my teachers made me read was too boring for me. In fact, I crazy about reading only since novemeber 2008, when I went to La Feria del Libro de Santiago. I remember that time and how I surprise my parents with the news.

I bought four books that time. The first book that I bought it was A Clockwork Orange, I love the edition and I knew that this kind of reading is  forbidden to me. Later, I payed for three books of a chilean authors, Alberto Fuguet and José Donoso. I think that in that time I have heard a little bit of the first of they, and I take the risk. Las Películas de mi Vida and Mala Onda, proved to be a magnificent books. Since that time, Mala Onda converted it in my favourite book. The last book I bought that I bought it was Casa de Campo of José Donoso. This book managed to confuse me a lot, and I haven't finished it get.

The last book that I being reading is Cortos of Alberto Fuguet. I enjoyed too much reading this book, because remaind me my old times in the school when I read this kind of storys about a young and handsome guys of my age in that time, like 16 years old. It took me a few days to read, in fact it were five days. Actually the story is conformed with too many shorts stories about the life of a group of people that used to be friends and classmates in the school but now a days they not even spoke each other.

I recommend it to the youngest people that don't like to read., like me in the beggining of the story.
