A photograph that I like

A photograph that I like shows a beautiful sunset shot by myself in 2006, june 21th, the shortest day of the year. This scene is very common from my bedroom window in my house in La Serena, but just in summer, because in winter, horizon is diffuse and sky is covered for clouds. This picture was shot in winter! Where are the clouds? I don't know, but I'm happy with a beautiful photograph.

I love sunsets and I think all of them have something special, a hidden charm which make me apreciate every moments of my life, even if they are sad. The colours of this photograph are very beautiful and scene seems painted by God, a reason to believe in something superior to us, or, at least, admit how beatiful is nature.

Maybe I'm a good photographer, I don't know. Maybe it is the beautiful and power of scene itself which make great this photograph. Whatever I think (or not think), this photo reminds me the light of hope when it seems too dark and sad.

Take care!

My favourite web site

Hi!

Today I will talk about a career-related web site I enjoy visiting. I found it last year when I was working in a project, because I worked with a lot of theses and to borrow them in a library was imposible, so my teacher gave me this web site: http://www.cybertesis.cl/, which has important information and references that I need.

This web site also has links with other important universities in the world to looking for theses in those universities, and the information is not limitated by national bounderies or knowledge areas, because this web site has most of theses written in the last ten years in this university. I usually use this web site, at least twice a week, many hours when I use, because I don't have how to print too many pages.

To use the web site is easy, you must write an author's name or thesis title in the search bar, and inmediatly the web search start. An important thing is for use this web site, you don't need to have usersname or password. Knowledge is opened to everybody.

I hope you love this web site as I do.

Bye!

My laptop and I

My favorite piece of technology is my laptop, which was a birthday gift from my stepfather.

Laptop is used in the same way that a computer desktop, is smaller and its principal adjective is that it is portable.

I use my laptop all the time, when I'm in my house and when I leave. Besides using it in university when I have to do another work. Also, I take them when I travel, to have fun on the bus. My laptop is personal, but when I'm not at my house, my cousin Rafaella also uses because is very funny play games and also that it can use this even when in bed.

I love my laptop because is very entertaining and practical. With the Internet can browse through and where I want when I want. It's much more comfortable than my old desktop PC and is faster and has more memory capacity.

I believe that my life would be different without my laptop, and happen much more time at my house. I think my life has more freedom because I have a laptop.

Allow me to introduce myself

I just need a few words to do that. My name is Carolina. I am a nineteen-year-old student (Sociology), living in Santiago, Chile. I am originally from Copiapó (north of Chile). I live in a flat with two friends near the college. I like cats more than dogs, and I like chocolate more than cookies. My day always can be better if I drink Starbucks coffee or eat strawberries.

In my spare time I try to find time to read (especially Iván Turgueniev and Albert Camus), see movies and hang out with my friends... when I do not have to study. I play pilates, because it fits in my schedule. What I am doing all the time is listening to music (The Rollings Stones, Oasis, Soundgarden). Also because my schedule I am writing this, I mean, english course is necessary to apply the basic study programme. About this course, I just hope learning more and more this language that I love and writing always relaxing me. Someday I expect to achieve my dream and go to England.

Okay, now you know something about me. If there is a question or two (or more) feel free to ask.
