It´s nothing against English, but I think that the university should give the opportunity of choose language, it`s true that English is a language used for many countries, if you talk with a foreign the most likely thing is that the communication to be in this language, then is so good it can practice in class, because I forgot pronounce some words, I can learn new words through vocabulary exercises (I refer use words in the correct context), also the listening serve as a base for conversations with a gringo or British people, as they speak very fast, sometimes is difficult hear everything.
I think that writing helps remember it learned, in blogs I tell things about me in English, this allows to manage everyday subjects, the routine and likes. However, in my opinion the people don`t write formal English, at least in United States.
Clearly, I need improve hearing, I don´t understand why, if I listen English music, besides I watch TV programs everyday, also movies. Maybe, because the listenings are specific situations.
I have a trauma when I speak English. I have been in United States, I went to museums, malls and parks and when someone talk to me, I speak in English without difficulty. But I get aunts and uncles` house I can`t, I think for "bullying" by Latino cousins, I say Latino because my cousins that born there, they help me to speak well the language. Unlike my Chilean cousins that live in US years ago, they´ve teased of my English, as if they speak a perfect English. In my family almost all speak this language, I would like speak them in English, because they talk me in English but I answer in Spanish, except with my gringo or american cousins.
I will do English exercises in web pages, I want review grammar for exam.

Between two options
Still, I am not sure what job, I know that I must work next year barely I will graduate. If is for the degree, I would like to be cultural manager or art critic.
I like cultural management because it´s a dynamic work, is very sociable, but you have meetings all day, your phone ring non stop, time flies, finally you´re exhausted. It has good things: organize or plann cultural events is entertaining because you should look all details, for example if is a band festival, I should invite music bands, do the schedule, and contact a technical equipment, or rather, means to be part fo production. Also, it´s in charge of economic, how much it will cost the festival, the spend money in resources and pay bands.
It´s within art market.
In Chile, the cultural manager helps develop art projects, with the objective of win any monetary fund (state or business association), as well known FONDART.
On the other hand, I love the aesthetic, therefore I would like to be art critic of Performing Arts, I like wrinting about plays. I think that the press (above all newspapers) publishes summing up of plays, not a point of view. There are art magazines, however have limited cultural diffusion.
In general, inside artistic environment you need contacts, I know because when I worked in a cultural center, the people was relative of politicians or elite, then most people didn´t study art. They won more than a million pesos, thus my salary could be that number as cultural manager.
I have no idea how much earn an art critic, I suppose that the same, if I work in famous national newspaper in the culture and arts section.
I can´t compare both cases, because are two different things.

I think that it´s difficult talk about the guilty pleasures, is a topic that to produce shame.
In my case:
1. I dance tektonic when there is electro music, sometimes at parties, it´s funny, are fast movements, is similar to breakdance but isn´t a robotic dance.
2. I like play a little accordion, is a instrument for childrens, I love it, althought I would like to buy a real accordion, first I need a teacher.
3. Since chilhood, I dipped cookies in the tea, if are "galletas de vino" far better. My family hate me when I do that, my mom says "Galia, here not please"
4. Every time I go to downtown Santiago, ALWAYS I buy a strawberry juice, and I order the seller that she puts much sugar to juice, she knows me, like that I came and the juice is ready.
5. When I like a movie, after I learn the screenplay, as if I were the actress.
I don´t have more guilties pleasures, at least that I remember. But, when I was girl I had several: I banged the heater with a big spoon, I scratched walls of living room, I hanged of stair, I played with mom´shoes, I rode a bycicle for a slope near my house, etc.
