I like Google Scholar, if you have
ever been in a situation when you have to do a serious paper and you need
reliable webpages, Google Scholar is your thing!, forget about the not so
reliable Wikipedia, Google Scholar will show you only reliable sources, it will
show how many people and works have cited the source, Google Scholar will also
show you the most cited pages, and you can search webpages in Spanish too. You
can also search publications by years, or by relevance, you can also search a
specific topic too, if you choose law it will only show you law related things.
I use this website every time I have to do a paper, and it´s awesome, before I
knew this website I had to do long searches in Google or I had to go to the
library (and if you are a lazy person you do not want go to the library), so
when I learned about Google scholar, my source search was dramatically reduce.
So here is the link to this awesome website http://scholar.google.com/

My favorite song
Is kind of hard to
decide which song is your favorite one, since I have a lot of favorite ones, I
will chose the one that is more related to this class, the song that I choose
was Numb from Linking park, this song was released in the second album, Meteora of
Linking park and it was released in 2003 (more than ten years ago) and it has
sell around 20 million copies.
This was the first
real song (that I remember) that I heard in English; the ones that you hear in
school do not count, I did not understand what the song was saying but I liked
the rhythm, and years later when I could finally understood it (yes, I was too
lazy and I never looked the translation in Google), the song reminded me of mi previous
self (the time when you are young and try to find yourself), every now and then
I listen to the song and I feel a bit of nostalgia, so you should listen to it.

Religion
Hi, today I
should talk about Christianity, first of all, even if I did all the sacraments
I am not a Cristian myself, but I have to agree that the influence of Christianity
in society is huge, now the influence is not as big as it was before where the countries
where ruled by religion, but the church still has a lot of influence left, one
of the reasons is that at least in Chile more than half of the people say that
they are believers. But lately we are seeing and incredible phenomenon the
church is losing it influence. Before saying that something was right because
the church said so was a valid argument but now it has almost not weight in public
discussion. It would be very interesting to analyze why the Cristian religion
has lost it influence

laptop
First I have
to set this straight, I really love technology and between all those marvelous devises
my favorite is the laptop. But like all things, this one has a story, If you
have been keeping up with my other post you should know that I was in the US
for the last 2-3 years, and before I went there I had the bulky and heavy
desktop computer, but when I went to the US one of the first thing I bought was
a laptop, suddenly the me that did not know anything about English could communicate
with my friends in Chile, I could use it to do homework, translate words, and
play games.
To be
honest not everything about a laptop is perfect; first they are very expensive
when you compare it to a desktop computer and they are less powerful, and the
main hindrance is that you cannot have a gaming laptop without spending a 1000$
dollars, but the advantages is that you can carry it everywhere and if your electricity
is out, and you can have 5 hours of battery life while you wait for the electricity to
return, to be truthfully I use my laptop every day but not only for playing I use it for
studding too.

Courses
This term I am taking lots of courses, seven of them
actually, but four of them are subjects that everybody that is studying their
first year in law in the University de Chile is currently taking, these courses
are microeconomic, introduction to law, moral philosophy (I actually had a very
hard test today in the morning at 8:00), and history of law. The ones that I
choose are nothing especial one of them Institutions of Roman law was recommended
by a third year student, the second one is accounting, I picked this course because
I want to be a tributary attorney, and the third one English, the reason for
taking this course is because I do not want to lose my skills in this language.
Currently I do not have any extracurricular activities but I
do have expectations one of them is to pass all my courses and the other one is
to have good grades.

My Auto Biography

to study abroad, so shortly after we departed to state of North Carolina in the
United States, there I studied my last 2 years of high school in a school
called East Chapel Hill High, after graduation I came back to Chile and I applied
to an special admission program for people that studied their high school years
abroad, so here I am in the university of Chile studying law.
