First term experiences

Compared to last year, I could say it’s been a little different about our course responsibilities. I mean, last year was all a lot of reading. In my class we should study every day to get an acceptable mark. Otherwise, this year has been all tedious workgroups and kind of “red-tape” reports, which I find is the most boring thing on my course, even though they probably will give me job in the future.
So, in the first term of this year I studied about policy sciences and public policies what is –I think- and important area of my professional training. However, It involves learn about how filling tables and write forms and believe me, It could be very disappointing and even outrageous. I think learning this stuff implies to assume a responsibility too, because work on public policy implies work with people’s problems.
However, first term wasn’t all study and books. I won’t talk about parties and all the kind of things that young people do. Rather I’m talking about sports (specifically jogging), what was important to me in order to get some relax and fresh air sometimes. While I practiced sports I used to think about academic stuff, because first term was a personal- thinking time, especially for the research workshop what is an important subject of this year. I think it was a great challenge not only to me but to all class because it implies to carry out a complete research by oneself.
About my family and friends, this year I tried visiting them as frequently as possible (I’m not from Santiago) and with this I mean more than last year, because I had a bit more time at this. So, I hope keep trying this, and talking about short time I hope visiting my home for the next September 18th, and having a really good time with my family and friends.
