Good and Bad Points

Hello everyone, Javier is here and today I’m going to talk about this year and how it has been for me. Personally this hasn't been the year that I expected. Well, it is true that the year has not ended yet, but if things continue going like they’re doing now, I’ll just sit somewhere and wait until this year finish. But let’s not be too melodramatic. This year has had good things of course, so I will start with them. This was a year that academically has been good in some aspects. I've traveled for archaeological fieldwork about three or four times to different places like Los Vilos, San Pedro de Atacama, Curacavi, etc. My marks have been good also, my dad found a new job and he is happier than before, also he earns more money for it, so in those lines it has been a good year. But also there are some bad things that I've experienced this year. For example Health problems with my stomach and some sleep problems, I can’t rest while I’m sleeping, so I’ve visited the doctor many times during this years. Also in emotional aspects this has been a bad year, but I think I’ll overcome to all of this things.

There are some things that I couldn't finish this year. For example, I would really like to decide in which aspect of archaeology I’ll take for my memory (thesis) for next year. I like a lot of different things in archaeology and I still doubt about it. And there is no news or any other thing that I would like to emphasize.

From now until December, I’ll try that things take a different course, and in some way I’ll try to compensate some bad aspects that this year has had.

I’m sorry if this sounds a little bit depressing but I don’t like to lie. Have a good day! :P

Favorite Sport

Hello everyone and sorry for the late, but today I’m going to talk about my favorite sport. I think that soccer is one of the most beautiful and exciting sports. For me, it has everything that I Like: Exercise, training, teamwork, cooperation, strategy, planning, and a lot of things. When I was a child, I had a different thoughts concerning about soccer. I remember that I disliked it, because I didn't found any sense to this sport, besides, I liked tennis and I was in a school practicing it. But when I was 13 years old, I left that school for economic problem. My parents didn't have enough money to afford the next category of training, so I had to look for another sport to practice. This is when Mario’s father (one of my friends) in a group meeting, he suggested to our parents that he may form a soccer team and to train us twice per week. So me and some friends were training every Tuesday and Friday after school for 2 hours. That was the place where I learnt about those good things that I mentioned about soccer (Teamwork, cooperation, strategy, friendship, etc.).

                One of the reasons that I like soccer it’s because if the group has a great relationship and teamwork, they can defeat even to the best soccer players in the world. For example, when I was 16 I was watching the finals of Euro Cup 2004 between Portugal and Greece and in that time, the Greek team was formed by just one recognized and famous soccer player (Karagounis), meanwhile Portugal had a lot of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Coentrao, Carvalho, etc. Watching that match I learnt that teamwork may do a difference, and after the Greeks won that cup, soccer turned most on a teamwork game than in an individual game. Those are the reasons about why do I like soccer.

Have a good time and see you.
