A MESSAGE FROM THE PAST
Yesterday, I was in my father’s computer (which used to be mine) seeking for some music and files. Suddenly I read a file’s name which caught my attention “Del pasado para algún futuro” (‘From the past for some future’). Of course I opened it, and what I found was amazing.
It was a word that I wrote seven years ago, when I was in the high school (17 years old). In the files says that I wrote that with one intention, I liked to shape some ideas that I had, so I made this word with a flashy name cos I knew it I was going to read it one day. In the’ word’ file I wrote about some thoughts that I had about world, love, my life, and how I would like to be in the future, in fact I gave me some advices and admonitions about what I didn’t want to become.
I was so surprise, at first for the crazy idea. And over that, I had strange feelings. I laughed, I felt proud and in the end of the file, I cried. It was amazing it was like me, travelling around the time, remembering me how I used to think and even warning me. It was awesome.
I’m going to do the same now, I will write about my life and how I feel and how I would like to be, and I hope to find the ‘word’ in 7 or 10 years.
I invite you to do the same; you can’t believe how amazing it is.

Writers and readers.
I've thinking about how powerful and amazing is the conection between a writer and a reader.
Sometimes I feel envy about how they can make me fly and stimulate my imagination, and it's possible because they have an amazing power, they are like gods and they can create everything they want: creatures, lifes and even worlds.
I would love to do the same one day. I would like to make the people live things in the same way that I thought them.
Writers make us live lifes they usually would like to have. And for a moment, they and us,we're in another world, a perfect one,which is unreal, at least for our planet, but not for our imagination.

Pokemon GO
This app has become a huge global phenomenon since its release last month, with more than 75 million downloads. Everybody is talking about it, and a lot of them are angry with it, they find the app annoying.. they criticize people who play it. Come on!
When you say ‘This people is wasting their time playing this stupid game, trying to catch virtual animal, they should spend time doing…’ I’m sorry.. but aren’t you wasting your time criticizing people and talking about an app?
Stop sharing the Einstein’s photo which says “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” At first because there’s absolutely no evidence that Albert Einstein ever said this, and when you are sharing this photo in the social networks.. Aren’t you using technology? Maybe while you were so angry sharing this somebody was talking to you and you didn’t listen because you were so worried about people who play Pokemon GO. Haha.
If they are happy playing with it… let them be.
Smile and be happy. :D :D :D

NUMBERS
My name is Mary, and I hate numbers. I love maths and I like the way it help us to solve our problems in our daily lives, I’m sure you’re wondering… How she can love maths if she hates numbers? Ok, it’s true. Maybe I must redefine my premise: ‘I hate when numbers define our life’.
Since I was a child everybody defines me with numbers and now that is has been many years since my childhood, numbers have been worrying me. I want to say STOP, neveragain. We have to stop with education which makes us believe that we’re reflected by a number. The numbers lock us, they stop us, limit us and persecute us. But they never EVER define us.
It’s not necessary to tell you how old I am, if I tell you how much I have learned those years should be enough for you, because your age doesn’t define your experience. Sometimes life hits you at any age, it doesn’t care because it doesn’t understand numbers, and we shouldn’t either. I have learned that a mark doesn’t define how much you know or if you understood something, I learnt that your GPA does not assure you how much you will succeed in your work, your weight does not define how much you will be loved and your height does not reflect how much you will grow in your personal life. How much your car costs doesn’t tell you how many good moments you’re going to live in it and the value of your salary doesn’t always reflect the satisfaction of your work.
So why are we teaching children that their lives are going to be evaluated by numbers? Why do we say to them that they will be happier and successful if they get better grades? Why do they compete against each other by numerical values and don’t teach them to compete against themselves? We shouldn’t say to them at what age they are supposed to read or count, at what age should be their first kiss, at what age should have their first girlfriend. We shouldn’t teach them to value their clothes or food for the price tag, we shouldn’t teach them to value a job by its salary.
Let's teach them counting, yes sure.. Teach them maths.. We should teach them that they must add to their life moments, experiences, laughter and friends. Teach them that sometimes they will fall but will also rise. Let’s teach them to discover their talents and to be the best in whatever they decide to do, teach them to be happy and above all teach them that the best things in life can’t be measured.

Jurassic Park
A month ago I bought a book called "Jurassic Park"(it's in English). It's a very good book and I enjoy a lot reading it. I know how the story ends because I watched the movie, but even so it's interesting.
A group of people are introduced in Nublar (a island) by John Hammond (a billionaire) who learn how bring dinosaurs back to life. While on a tour of the island, everything that could go wrong, goes wrong.
The novel is certainly well written, with a focus on details very apparent. It’s by all means a very hooking read; if ever you’re bored, you should try this book.

My future "dream job".
In the future I would like to work in a position which involves management knowledge and leadership skills. At first, when I am a newly graduate, I would like to work in a company where I can learn as much as I can and to help the company to improve in some aspect.
I would like to put into practice the things I’ve learned at university and congresses, where I can investigate about new technology and processes but without letting the human factor and the ecology go unnoticed.

Hobbies :D
I love reading books. I always have something to read because it is a good way of entertainment and it also helps me with my general culture. Among my favorite genres there are fantasy and suspense. My favorite authors are J.R.R Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, Julio Verne, Michael Crichton and Alex Kava.
Another interesting hobby is playing board games. I’m in a group and we usually play every Friday. We always play new games, individual, role plays and cooperative games. Nowadays we have started designing a new game, we use brain storms and we are designing a beta game called “bugs attack” where we make statistical calculations and tests.
Finally, I like playing table tennis. I also enjoy watching movies with friends or family.

About my university
My name is Mary, I'm studying Industrial Engineering at UTN Argentina, I didn't know what to talk aboutl, and finally I decided that my university It's very different from others, so It's a good topic to start.
Firstly the culture of my university it's based on the culture of trust, for example: all doors of every classroom are always open, doesn't matter if It have computers or stereos inside, You can go to any classroom (if it's empty) and study.
We have a bufet and there's nobody in charge to recieve the money. You have urns where you can put your money. There's nobody to collect the monet, you only take the food that you are going to eat and put the money in a box
Although it sounds incredible this system works very well. The manager ensures that at the time of accounting, there isn't monetary losses, sometimes there is excess.
Also we have a "quincho" (we call in this way) In this place we have a big cooker, microwave, frezzer, tables, chairs, silverware, tennis table..etc. You can use it when you want, for free. The only condition is to leave the place clean as you received it (and students who have meetings there take care about it).
We also have a camping calling Reyunos, where our input has to be student discount. It has a pool and beautiful landscapes, besides houses and cabins for rent.
To be ending, as imagine, my university is public .. no need to pay anything to study there, you just have to want and strive.
My university has a lot of things that can tell that interests you. It is just beautiful, fascinating and imitable.
(In the attached picture you can see the pool that is designed so that from a certain angle looks like part of the lake.)
