The faculty facilities

I like the faculty of social science of the University of Chile, I actually study there and I feel comfortable in it. The faculty of social science is a big building with four floors, a hall, a cafeteria, parking and is part of the Juan Gomez Millas Campus.

I think we need a place to study, because the library is used as a meeting place of working groups and there is always noise, we usually must go to the philosophy library, where you can study in peace, therefore is necessary a quiet and nice place to study without distractions at the faculty. Also It would be good a place to rest or just to be, maybe with some sofas, in Economics and business faculty is a room with sofas, television, a place to rest, the students even play poker and videogames there.

I also believe it is necessary a nursery, a place where students who are parents can leave their children, the university does not think on these students, they have a student profile that is built for the faculty.

The first step is to raise these ideas as a students proposals, to make a plan and propose it to the authorities try to implement it by force, through power demonstrations.

The real benefits are great, a more comfortable and enjoyable place to study, to pass the time between classes, to be motivated to comply the academics responsabilities. A nursery will be a great help to all the students who are parents and have no one to leave their children.

Sudafrica 2010, here we go!!!

Last saturday Chile national team broke history again, was our first win in official games played in Colombia again this national team. With this victory Chile classified to the World Cup, the most important sport competition in hole world, the eyes of everyone on this planet will be on Sudafrica.

This is relevant because our country feels soccer, everywhere people talk about it, is the topic for mondays morning and the national team unites what local teams disjointed. Also this team generates happyness and pride, because this players are people like us, how Bielsa says : "players are an extraction of the Chilean people". But, this "world cup effect" has negative things two, since here untill the end of world cup the problems our country are left in the background.

I like the deffensive players, they need to be focus and play well all the match, one mistake and the work of all team can collapse, while the offensive players can appear ten minutes, make a gol and be heroes. So I like Carlos Carmona, Waldo Ponce, Gary Medel and Claudio Bravo, they protect the team of conceding goals.

In this process is very importante the manager, Marcelo Bielsa, "the crazy", he made a revolution in our soccer, he always try to attack, to passing above rivals, to made many goals, without speculate. Also he introduce discipline in a team which was characterized by acts of indiscipline and he teach the value of hard work. Everyone back to believe in the national team.

Now, we just have to wait, the draw for the world cup is in December, while we will raise money, make the luggages and prepare us to see Chile again in a World Cup

Sudafrica, Here we go!!!

Lions, take care, he will make barbecue with you.

The presidential election

This week on my blog I will trite about the presidential election, this year, 2009, Chile must choose a new president for the nation.

Since the election between Joaquin Lavin and Ricardo Lagos, results are so unclear, currently there are three candidates, all with a chance of advancing to second round, where alliances and political agreements become essential.

The candidate of the "Alliance for Change," which represents the right of our political spectrum, is Sebastian Piñera, an economist, investor and politician. This is not his first time in elections, in the past election he competed with Michelle Bachelet, loosing in second round. Also, it is called in some sectors, the chilean "berlusconi", due to their similarities with Italian President, both are major shareholders of popular soccer teams in their countrys, as well as an airline, media and other companies.

Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle represents the Coalition of Parties for Democracy, ruling coalition in Chile. He already was president once, between 1994 and 2000, where he sign treaties for free trade with China and U.S. He also participated in primarys against Juan Antonio Gomez, winning, however, these primaries were strongly criticized.

From the criticism against this primary came the candidacy of Marco Enriquez-Ominami, simbol of wear in the Coalition of party for democracy. He represent the dissatisfied sectors ofthis coalition, generating sympathy in the electorate. He is the son of Miguel Enriquez, the leader of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), killed by the DINA, National Intelligence Agency of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. He is currently deputy, and work as director of films and television.

Every time I had to vote, I voted null, in fact, thinking well, I dont know why I am registered on the electoral rolls, I think I will draw again on the ballot. However, if at a given moment the votes becomes decisive, I would vote for the left sector that I feel closest.
