If I were to choose my favorite piece of technology....

I do not consider myself a fan of technology, therefore, does not interest me to be fashionable with the latest in tecnology, I think the technological devices should used  to saltisfacer needs and not as a consumer market product. I have a normal cellphone, not prehistoric, but neither of latest model, I don't have mp4 because I hear music from the phone, I have no plasma or LCD in my home, my laptop is old, but still serves me :)

Now, if I were to choose my favorite piece of technology, I choose  mp3 players, music and data storage, what could be better? are also small, making it easy to transport and use in all situations and places. I remember that the first one I had,  my mother gave me for Christmas many years ago and since then I keep using them,  It have emerged new devices as mp4, mp5, ipod, cell phones with better features than mp3, but even so,  I still carry an mp3, auque now I use just for data storage.

In my (not) free time...

Free time?!, what is that? a few years ago had much free time , I walked around the city, I went at the house of friends, or just I stayed in my house doing nothing; I loved doing that.

But since a couple of years now I've run out of free time!, is terrible! I have not even a minute for to waste on doing something stupid, because if I do, I run out time to do or finish something important (usually happens me). Every hour of day in my life should be coldly calculated to perform all I have to do in college, in job, in home and with friends, but I am not an organized person, I am driven by impulses the moment, and therefore, I use the time to do anything.

I would love to organize my time so I could reconcile leisure activities like go to movies, to eating, to dancing without, etc. without consequences for academic work or home and family. Between these activities should include sleep, because in my situation, when I performs  this "activity" (not every day like everyone else) I feel a deep relaxation, I rest and reached the happiness!!

Latin American Council of Social Sciences

Since some professors in university gave me this website, I  interested in their approach and wide variety of material.

The Latin American Council of Social Sciences  (CLACSO) is an international non-governmental organization created in 1967, that maintain formal consultative relations with UNESCO. Currently, meets a total of 293  research centers and teaching programs and postgraduate degree in Social Sciences based in 25 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, U.S. and Europe. 

In this website I can found  notes, articles and journals related to education in Latin America and a extensive virtual library with books and authors of great benefit to our training as educators critics.

The Council's objectives are the promotion and development of research and teaching of Social Sciences, the strengthening exchange and cooperation among institutions and researchers inside and outside the region, and the proper dissemination of knowledge produced by scientists between social forces, social movements and civil society organizations. Through these activities CLACSO contributes to rethink, from a critical and plural perspective, the integral problem of Latin American and Caribbean societies. 

CLACSO is one of the sites most important social sciences worldwide and I think we should use it, mostly because we have free access the all documents from the website.

I invite you to visit it!    http://www.clacso.org.ar/

Don't stop the music!!

How important is music in my life?, the music have a privilege place in my life, is part of my memories, of my present and I think cannot live without it.

I start listening music everyday and when I cannot listen music, I feel that something is missing, my morning start without the power, without the energy that comes from music is horrible!. I have the need listen music, I like almost all kinds of music, pop, rock, romantic, "pachanga", cumbia, salsa, ska, reggae, reggaetton, trova, folcklore, instrumental, etc. The metal or hard rock are music style that I not like, because according my vision, when we listen music is for enjoy and relax and with the metal honestly I can not connect, it bothers me their aggressive sound and meaningless (for me).

About my musical skills, really I don't have :( I would love to sing as mariah carey, areta franklin or even as paulina rubio jaja! but I don't have the talent necessary for to be a star!, but I don't need to know sing to make it in the shower, in bed, in the courtyard, on the street, at parties, karaoke, etc.

Finally, the music for me is like the air I breathe, when I listened for the first time I couldn't stop it, turned into an almost biological need for survive everyday!

Some facts about me...

I'm camila coelho, I'm studing education (fourth year ongoing) in the University of Chile, In may I'll celebrate my birthday number 23, I have one sister and one brother, both older than me, I live with them and with my mother in the municipality of Pedro Aguirre Cerda.

About my personal life, I must say that I have little free time because my life is divided into several areas that consume most of the hours of my day: University, job, family, boyfriend, friends, tasks from university and from house, so on... even so, there are days when I leave aside for a moment all my responsibilities, for do nothing more than breathe, relax and enjoy a day off!
