Task 8: GPOY

Imagen
This photo is from the first time I went to Licanray in Southern Chile, and shows my first meeting with the biggest sopaipillas I ever saw, I enjoyed, admired and chewed them. Now I just miss them, their soft taste, warm, with manjar, with tomato, alone, with my boyfriend, with the birds chirping, with my feet in the lake, with the sunset... The best gastronomic trip of all jajaja. This trip was a journey from Santiago to Licanray, passing through different cities and wonderful villages. For example, I had never been to Salto del Laja, and although I found it very attractive, the local people said that before there was much more water. There I remember eating homemade empanadas haha, then on the road we ate tortillas de rescoldo. Afterwards, we ate a cheesecake-like kuchen with "murta", blueberries and raspberries.... I think the trip started with eating and ended the same way haha. However, by walking every afternoon to buy my sopaipillas I burned enough calories to be able ...

Task 7: Postgraduate Studies

 I would like to do a postgraduate degree in History, mention in History of Chile, because history is one of the humanities subjects that has always caught my attention. So, I would like to do this graduate degree in Chile (logical), but to take the knowledge to different parts of the world, comparing it with international knowledge.  Ideally I would like to study in classroom mode, and with good teachers who make national history dynamic.  Finally, this is not the postgraduate course I would most like to study. However, it is the easiest because it would be done in Santiago. 

Task 6: My future job

Imagen
I would like to work in a bookstore, with millions of towers of books everywhere, with my glasses, people coming in and out, stairs, bookcases, etc. However, I think my dream one might be as a diving/swimming teacher, since, I love doing both activities and being at sea. This way, ideally teaching little kids (or puppies, which at some point I knew existed haha). In this way, to travel to as many beaches as possible teaching and swimming.  Regarding the salary, I think it's enough as long as I can afford to keep traveling, eating and buying the basic things.  Now I am studying anthropology, initially for the material remains (archaeology), however, I have realized with the passage of time that I prefer the bones haha and dedicate myself to that. So, I have thought about doing underwater anthropology, ideally in other countries.

Task 5: A Meal or Food You Really Like

I think my favorite food is the chocolate truffle pancake cake, with chocolate frosting, chocolate truffle cream, "manjar", truffle filling, with nuts. No cherries, or anything to ruin it. I guess you make the pancakes first, then fill for each level, then put the levels together and top with the cream and nuts.  I really like it because there always comes a point in my life when I say "mm I need something sweet" and although there is almost never any of that cake in my house, when it is there I absolve all my cravings. So, I always wait for family birthdays to eat it haha. Related to the nutritional contribution, I think it is null, but the sugar contributes to my mental health, so I guess it is good for my body. I am so sorry for no publicated a pic of this beauty, but the images of the pastry shop are copyrighted.

Task 4: The cringe

Imagen
When I was ten years old, I did artistic gymnastics and competed almost every week. But once it happened that my northern family was in Santiago, so they accompanied me to a competition. The thing is that this competition was not just any competition, it was one of the most important of the year, and it was attended by the best schools in the country. Very formal. In conclusion, it was time to compete, they call my name and I start my circuit on the balance beam, my jumps, my spins, my pirouettes go well. Everyone looks at me in silence. But suddenly my 4 year old cousin starts shouting "Antoniaaaa! I brought my dinosaur Rex for us to plaaaay with!".  Suddenly the whole audience laughs and starts applauding him. And I, very embarrassed finish my presentation and walk away from the beam, looking at the floor. I didn't know where to hide.

Task 3: The best holidays ever

Imagen
The best holidays ever was this year, in January. I think it wasnt a reeally holidays, but it was a funnn time. This year my mom and my little brother made a trip to El Maule, to visiting my grandma and grandpa, but I was in classes, so I had to stay in Santiago.  I was alone for about three weeks I think, and how we cannot go out I stayed at home, but ALONE. I didnt know that I reeeaally needed this time alone, and even more after an entire year of Covid pandemic with my family every day.  My activities were clean the house, of course, emptying the pantry jaja, cooked everything I founded, sing loud, workout, study of course jaja, watch movies all night on the couch and fall sleep until the next day, order food delivery, stay with my bf, clean the house again (I like that), and more fun things.  My bf was with me in this great trip jaja, and I´m happy about that. The best thing was the ability to get to the minimarket at night and buy cookies, chocolate milk or Pepsi (my...

Task 2: A country you would like to visit

Imagen
I would like to go to Greece. I don´t know why, but I think it is beacuse the culture, the ruins, the History related to this place, Hercules the movie, Gladiator the movie, maybe beacuse I like the Olimpic Wrestling too, and others things. I don´t know really much about Greece, but I know that is a country located in southeast Europe, that Athens is their capital city. Their coast is the Mediterranean Sea.  On the other hand, the shape of Greece is mountainous and there is the Mount Olympus.  I am just want to go there and turisting, take pictures, walk a lot (I really like to walk), surprise myself with the landscape. Cry for finally complete my dream and for can check my dream list.  If I could live there, I think I will do it, maybe for some time, a few years.
