When the earthquake happened I was in Laguna de Zapallar with my family,it was my first day with them after my back-packing trip.
I was sleeping at the time of the quake, it wasn't a nice wake up. At first I was a little bit desorientated, because I woke up beliving I was in Temuco sleeping under a truck but then my mother screamed to me and just in that moment I realized that we where in an earthquake.
I think I reacted in a good way, beacause I tried to be in calm for my two little sisters; however, the people staying in the next house started to scream "a tidal wave, a tidal wave, run for your lives" and it was the same thing with the cops, so we went to the hills and stayed there for two and a half hours. After that, when we came back to the house, I started to feel anxiety because we where in a house only twenty meters away from the beach and the ocean was really heavy.
At other day I started to feel really insecure because we haven't recived any notice of our relatives, but when their started to phone us the situation started to calm down; however, we stayed two more days after the quake there because the highway was in bad conditions.It was a really terrible experience!

Next test

I've been studying a lot of english this year because I always committed stupid mistakes and I want to stop with that and start to improve my grammar. This is one of the reasons of why I prefer to study for english classes than other subjects.
I think I'm not prepared for the test; however, I've been working on my mistakes and trying to study more than I usually do. I know that I need to believe in myself because when I do an exercise I'm always with the doubt if it is good or not, so that’s why I need to practice more. On the other hand, I know that I have the abilities to do a good job, that's why I want to do the effort and study a little bit more than I usually do.

A little about myself and what my expectations for this semester are!!

I'm Franco, a common guy who lives in Macul and plays rugby in the Univeridad de Chile team since I was eleven years old, now I'm twenty two. I love all kind of sports and I always try to go to all the matches, no matters where the match is, form Arica to Punta Arenas. I love heavy music and go to live performences. I live with my mom, my dad and my two little sisters.
My expectations for this semester are big, because I really want to improve my english, I think I'm going in the right way, at least I think so. This is why I'm going to put the best of me to talk and write better every day. I'm a lazy person, so that's why I know that I have to make the effort to study more and be a better student to become in a good teacher.
