Dear Family,
I hope you are fine. Around here everything is beautiful. The landscapes and people show us a beautiful country with a culture very different from ours. The beer is like water,there´s no place that didn´t sold it, even in the stadiums .At this time there is a lot of snow, is a wonderful thing indeed. The winters around here are not very good, due that it is the time where people get depressed more often by the fact that the days are shorter, for example, got to work in the morning and it was dark and left it and still was dark, imagine my laziness when I need to study in these conditions.

I´ll leave you, hoping that the holidays come back soon to see you. Germany is a beautiful country but there’s nothing more beautiful than to be with the family in the country that saw you grow.

Love, Maria Fernanda

My dreams as a child, teen and adult

As a kid always dreamed I could fly, the feeling of adrenaline was always full. In addition, several times I dreamed I was falling into a hole too deep, always wake up frightened.

As a teenager I was very foolish, dreaming of my colleagues and the things I did badly at school, on the consequences of my actions will happen tomorrow? I dreamed I stole a clown that's why I hate them. My dreams at that age is also related to what I wanted in the future, studying criminology.

Now as an adult in my dreams I am graduating, working in a place where I pay well and enjoy it and have children with the love of my life. There is a realization as my wife my last dream, but for myself, I wish I had my home and live with my wife and my children.

If I were able

If I were able to fly, I would go so far as to ask God a lot about my life, I also would go to another country. If I were able to realize my goals would cry until finally I was always tired because I have doubts of my abilities.
If I were a less proud person would not have made so many mistakes, I know a lot of the word humility in this regard.
If I was the wisest person mmm, the truth I know it will never happen, because the wisest person is not talking much but the listener and I am a good listener.

The most intelligent animal

For me and my partners is the dolphin, definitely, is an aquatic mammal closely related to whales. It is best adapted to life in captivity. Dolphins use gestures to communicate, but communicate through a noise like a whistle. These animals are very supportive to their pack and very friendly.
They are the only animals besides man that have sex for pleasure.
Their worst enemies of these beautiful animals are sharks and man.

The influence of the media creating stereotypes

The reality of the media is inevitably engaged in society in a negative way if we talk about stereotypes. I believe both men and women need to be that perfect person that everyone wants, ignoring good nutrition often affecting their health, anorexia and bulimia, even the famous surgeries. The parameters dictated within the media tell us who is beautiful and who don’t, who is sane and who isn’t. But in the end what is worth, often it works to create envy and discussions between same sex who don’t accept their differences, to the point of creating complexes.

Multicultural week

Friday, January 29th 2010

To whom it may concern,

With this letter. I would like to inform you that the multicultural activity Chinese Festival of this week left a lot to wish for. I attended the activity that took place in front of the cafeteria on Friday January 29th. It was supposed to start at 5:00 PM, but instead it begun at 5:20 PM an ended at 5:30PM. The development of the activity was lousy in the sense that only a dancing dragon appeared; no explanations about Chinese Culture were given, and finally they skipped the martial arts and the cultural dances, which were what we were supposed to see in the act.

I think that the lack of organization was what affected it. I could have been developed in a better way so what we, as students of this university would have learnt a little more about different cultures.

Regards,

María Fernanda Granados Gamboa
