my future

I haven't thought very much about my future yet, I only have an overall view of it.

I hope to work in what I'm studying, which is Psychology. I don't know yet in what specifically, because I haven't decided in which area I'm going to specialize. All I know, is I wouldn't like to work in an office. I would like a more relaxing job, with flexible hours. I would like to work in some public place, I think, although it may be badly paid, but I think that there are the main problems of Chilean people, and the people who really need help, and many times they don't have any chance to receive that help. Also, I think it is a very good opportunity to get real knowledge.

Before working in a steady work, I would like to travel, to get specialized, and I would really love to work in other country to know how the people are, what their main problems and disseasesare, etc. Furthermore, I want to live in a house, not in an apartment. I hate apartments, because I think there isn't any privacy, and I hate the idea of not having my own yard, for example.

in relation to my sentimental and family life, I would like to live with my boyfriend with whom I have been for four years. I dont want to have children, but probably I would change my mind in the future. I would like to learn many things in my life, like getting other degrees, or whatever that keeps me active. It is because of that that I would like to have a flexible hour job, so I can dedicate my time to other things, like making any kind of handicraft, or studying gardening, or whatever that I want. I really hope to be able to use my time in rewarding activities, and not to be thinking in earning money only to pay bills.

in spide that I don't have a concrete idea of what I want for my future, I know that I want to feel that my life is gratifying, and because of that I'm studyng Psychology, because it is the best way that I find to feel I'm useful to other people. Also, it is a degree that can not only be used to work, but to learn about myself and how I can get my goals.

My favorite festivity

I think my favourite festivity is September 18'th, not much because what it commemorates, but for its lenght: there are four or trhee days often to relax and spend time with family and friends.

I enjoy this festivity because we are all toghether in my family, and often spend it at my grandmother's house. We gather in a barbecue, for example, and my grandma always bakes empanadas, which, in my opinion, are the best empanadas in the world!. I like this festivity, because my grandma spoils us very much. Also, I like it because we can go to places where we can play typical games, like rayuela and palitroques. Last year, we went to "parque Inés de Suárez", and there was an educational farm, a fair of handicrafts, and many demostrations of our typical dance, "cueca". Another typical thing in this festivity is the circus, and I think that Chilean circus is very particular. I really don'l like it very much, especially when they use animals, because I think in Chile the circus animals don't recieve a good care.

I like this festivity very much, because I think people are happy during those days. It's nice to see families with children going for a walk and stuff, but I hate the celebrations that involve animals, like rodeos and cock fights.

One thing that I have never done on September 18'th (and never in my life) is riding a horse, and I think that date will be a good day to learn, or to take a walk.
