Post 8: How green am I?

I'm not sure if people learn about environmentally friendly practices. At school, I remember a little bit of that at biology class, something about the water. I learned that water isn't a renewable natural resource (and I always try to take care of water). I believe that people don't learn anything about environmentally friendly practices at formal education.

Anyway, I'm a person who worries about that. It isn't a central problem in my life but, I try to do what I can. I have the habit of recycling but it's not very easy: In the beginning I didn't know where I could drop the bottles, the milk catons.. etc. Now, I'm taking that stuff to the supermarket, there are some recycling sites. But, I have to say it, I'm not very happy taking the garbage to the supermarket, when I go there, I can't stop thinking that they are doing some kind of business with this recycling-thing and I'm helping to do that. Well, I just calm myself thinking that it's better than just drop it .

Most of the time I use a bike or the public transport. I have to confess, that there isn't just for taking care of the air, but it's an advantage and I'm proud of that. I can say, I'm taking care of myself and the air. I consider the pollution an important problem and I'm concerned about the quality of the air, but, that's because I use a bike and I really can feel the efects of cycling with a dirty air. It's like contrary to what normally you could think: I worry beacause I use a bike it isn't something like I worry and that's the reason for cycling.

Well, spite of all that I'm saying... I think this is a delusion. Nothing changes if I or you recycle all our garbage! there are other people, in the United States, in Europe who have many industries and they ARE the pollution. Here in Chile, there are so many mining production which don't give any care about the environment. And that's the problem, not me!

Bye.

Post 7: Education

I finished the high school two years ago, at 2008. I'm really glad of that. The truth was that I just wanted to leave it, I was so bored at high school; actually, the last day of classes all my class mates were crying and I was so happy! so, I didn't cry... but, don't misundertand me, I made a lot of friends at high school and now I keep seeing them a lot. But, I was so tired of the classes, the subjects... above all, I was tired of the 'rules'.

Let explain me better, I did all the secondary education at 'Liceo experimental Manuel de Salas' and I was used to have a little space of decision, the rules never were very stricts, you could talk and give solutions to some problems, but the last two years I was there (more or least) gradually they started to be more strict. But It was a stupid strict-thing !. Things like the color of a scarf or the color of yours tennis started to be central and a problem. And that kind of stuff never weren`t a problem before. They weren`t concerned about how to make students learn better! they were concerned about the tennis! (we all used to go with tennis at high school). They started to invented more stupid rules and the teachers adopted an attitude like 'the rules by the rules' even if they didn`t have any sense! the last year I felt like I was going to exploded, for two reasons: First, all the new rules have no sense because anyone was learning anything and we weren`t used to that kind of stuff, so we didn`t do. All was out of context!

The second reason is called "full day schedule" Lucky me, I lived that just for one year, but it was terrible! we got the same hours of classes, but with least time between each class!!

Post 5: My Favorite Movie

           I've never asked myself for my favorite movie or my favorite book, or song... I have a lot of movies I like but I just don`t have one favorite... don`t misunderstand me, I really like movies and go to cinema....

          Wherever... Now that I'm thinking about it, I can remember two great movies I have really enjoyed, I think the two of them are very similar for me and that's why I couldn't choose one of them (Well....this two movies are from the same director, still, they are very different on one way: the reviews from critics, but I will refer this later...). These two movies I really like are from Woody Allen. The first one is Stardust memories, movie filmed at 1980, and the other one is Annie Hall (filmed at 1977). Stardust memories is a very unknowing movie, it is about a filmmaker who doesn`t want to keep making comedies and he's making a tragic movie, but the editor want to change the end of the movie for make it more commercial... The movie also shows other conflicts on the life of the filmmaker...One thing I've really liked is that this movie is filmed on black & white! (I think that's beautiful) well... you have to watch it...  

           The other movie I've mentioned is Annie Hall, this movie is very famous: It has won a lot of Oscars. This movie is set in New York and it is about the relationship between Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) and Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) This movie isn`t on black & white but, still I think that the photograph is beautiful too. What I like of this movie specially is that it is very funny but still is not stupid, it has tragedy and happiness... It is very good !
