My final blog

The end of the semester is approaching and with it the end of this course of English. It's amazing how time flies between classes, tests and the uncomfortable assistantships incompatible with our subject. It´s easy to lose track of time when you are immersed in a homework of a hard course.  Honestly, sometimes you can´t reconcile your time and your duties.
Now, near to the end, I can look back and see how interesting was and is this course. I thanks that classes have been so fun and dynamic because it helps to understand and remember each session by jokes and laughter.
Moreover, I think that blogs has been a useful tool for create and study techniques for make varieties texts and reinforce writing abilities in general. It´s a practical way to do homework in any place and share my results with classmates and teacher to correct mistakes. Also, blogs allow for taking full advantages of the opportunities provided by internet, a sea of knowledge.

I think blog is fine. Together with this, I would add something like actually news review, miscellaneous items and opinion survey such as “What do you think about ginger girls, are they beautiful? Why?” It could have many variants.

My favorite movie


I don´t consider myself a fanmovie person. I don´t see movies often because I haven´t a style of movies or series predetermined to follow on internet. Some TV movies can attract me, but in many times that films are commercial productions, movies with amazing effects but a poorly argument. However, most of the films I see from TV, in channels like HBO, Cinemax and Europa&Europa, and suddenly I can find a good movie to see.
That was de case of “The Mission”, a 1986 British drama film. I don´t consider myself a religious person, let alone a catholic person, but I want to confess that I was captivated by this movie.
The film is about the Jesuits communities in Sacramento (today, Uruguay) named “missions”, a place to form and teach Catholics practice and European technical to Native Americans by Jesuits priest. This labor was disrupted as a result of disputes in Europe between Spain and Portugal monarchies about his relation with Jesuits, who had a great power in America. So, Portugal decides to eject Jesuits in these territories without worrying the work they have done and when they resist it, Portugal attacks without mercy.
Also his beautiful argument and screenplay, the mission has other artworks like legendary music by Ennio Morricone and his immortal Oboe. And don´t forget his beautiful photography about cataracts and sylvatic environment in general.

two website that I like

If you ask me for a career-related website that I enjoy, I can´t say only one because there is too many website on the internet that I like. And later when I think about my career in a website, I must confess that I don´t have any web to enjoy about law. All website I use at U only serve to work, to find jurisprudence (set of judgements that conform a opinion about a single law), like microjuris and legalpublishing. And in other websites more interesting like “el mercurio legal” you have to paid to read it and isn´t cheap. Damn greedy lawyers.

But recently I´ve found two pages that I like. This website aren´t exactly about law but contain material akin and near to the study of law.

One of them is “la Era de Hobsbawm” (http://laeradehobsbawm.wordpress.com/), a web with opinions about this important author and his work. Here we can find statistics and maps to expalin some of his theories such as “the twentieth century short” (1914-1989) and a particular interpretation of recently history. I visit this web at least once every two weeks because I like interesting content to offer.


In the second place I find “united explanations” (http://www.unitedexplanations.org/), a page to read about any problem around the world and his causes, written by ordinary people like you an me. Recently, I´ve visited tis place every day since last week, reading his interesting topics.
