The changes

When I was in high school, I was relaxed. I got good marks when I studied a little bit and I could eat something while I toke a sunbath in the corridor. Everyday I wore the same kind of clothes and I could take a nap in the lunch time. But I couldn’t dye my hair or wear make-up… I went to a Nuns’ School and they were very stricter, at the same time, they were understanding with us because the students were only women so… they must be understanding.

My first University year was the last year. I was in Concepcion and these days were so stressed. I had to do a bigger effort tan that I did before and I got regular marks. I was tired all the time because I lived farther from the university tan other students. My dad gave me some money every week and I couldn’t buy everything I want. The Concepcion’s weather is worse tan Talca’s weather: when it was a rainy day I couldn’t  take my umbrella because the wind is the fastest I’ve ever seen. Some teachers didn’t know my name but they said “hello” in the corridors.

But, I study in Talca one more time and it’s better tan Concepcion. Concepcion is bigger, more interesting, more adorable, cleaner, more glamorous, more elegant and more magnificent tan Talca… but the people I love live here and I don’t change my city for any other.

(Well, if someone says me: “Sole, let’s study to Amsterdam or Paris”, I go, absolutely)

And I'm going to play harmonica

Always I've wanted play some musical instrument, but never I've can do it because I don't have patience and coordination.
My dad loves the cowboy flims, when they go across the desert in the night and play harmonica by a bonfire. He wanted to play harmonica, but he thought that he wasn't be able to play it and shows me the lovely sound of this instrument.
Now, I have an harmonica called Mia R. Monica and I love her sound... it's so sweet! I have a book which teaches me how I must play Mia R. Monica too, but I think that I need a teacher because is so difficult learn it by myself. And I don't have patience.
I don't want to be like the legends of blues (I'm in love with Sonny Boy Wlliamson's songs!) or Paul McCartney, I only want to feel the whistle of my harmonica going out of my mouth while someone sings a love and sad song... and my best friend plays the guitar and sings in a rock band and he wants that I play Mia R. Monica in his band...
I must practise, practise and practise... practise a lot. And I know if I want something, I can do it. I know I'll be able to play Mia R. Monica.

That I want to do.

English is so difficult for me. When I begun to study, I said myself: "You can make this, it's easy, you have to study a lot. You've your family near to you and this makes it easier". But this doesn't been simple. I have no good qualifications and when I must talk with someone in English, my ideas go to the other side and I can't.
I've around two months for learn everything. I don't used to have bad marks and I'm so embarrassed for that. I must study more Grammar because I don't have a good memory and is so hard learning it. I've some problems with the "speaking" competence and then I'm looking for a Tandem Partner, who helps me with English by webcam or e-mail, and I help her (or him) with Spanish. If I talk with a British or an American, I think I should make efforts to communicate correctly.

Easter.

Easter is a very important celebration for the Christian world. My family and my friends are catholic and then they go to the church, eat fish and make everything the Catholic Tradition says. My boyfriend and I aren’t catholic neither protestant, but we’re Christians. I’m going to stay with my father and we’re going to see the TV movies about Jesus. After that, I think I’ll go to my sisters’ house, because I talk with my nephews and nieces about Jesus, his death and resurrection, and what’s the meaning of this for us. Obviously, the Sunday I’m going to hide the Easter eggs with my sisters and we’re going to help to my children (nephews and nieces) to find these eggs!

Gramática

Dear Edgar,

How are you? How is the weather in Concepcion? I've begun to study in my new univesity. I arrived with fear, but I've meet many interesting and charismatic people. Now I've got only English classes... I miss my French classes with you (and I miss Concepcion too)!

Kisses!

Sol.
