Post 10 >> Some reflections

This first semester 2020 has been very hard. Of course a lot of good things happened, I'm really happy about spending time with my baby, mainly for the reason that before online classes I had to be 1 hour and a half in the public transport to arrive home from university, now I only have to walk down stairs and I can see him, and he screams Mami! and is the best moment of the day.

Also I have learned to organise myself and use my time efficiently, and I'm so proud of that, because I have more time for myself and my family. I made a monthly calendar where I put all my duties and it was very useful.

Nevertheless I had Covid 19, I did not feel very sick, but I had to be alone all day and could not see my baby, it was so sad. Also my dad had the virus, and he went to the hospital and stay there for ten days. This situation was hard, because we could not see him. 

I'm really happy for being all together now, and also because even all this was very difficult, I could make it right as a mom and as student and I have good grades until now. 

Post 9> My favorite book

When i was in school my literature teacher introduce us to a lot of great authors. One of my favorites is Ángeles Mastretta, she is mexican and wrote two of my favorites books, "Arráncame la Vida" and "Mujeres de Ojos Grandes". I love them for the issues that she describes, about women empowerment and feminism. I think that she really had the talent to show the reality of Mexican and Latin American women, and society in general, with a fierce criticism and inspired us to find ourselves and defeat the patriarchal society. 

I love to read that kind of novels, some poetry authors, like Benedetti, Roque Dalton and Gioconda Belli, but also I like a lot the  books about economic policy, history, sociology and geography.

The last book I have read is "Geografía de Pájaros. Chile Central". I really recommend this book if you like birds, it is really beautiful, and teaches you how to recognize and find a lot of them. It was a gift from my boyfriend in our anniversary, and it was so exciting because I wanted a book like this one for a long time, so now that I have it, I can't stop reading it, all I want is that the Covid die, so I can go with my baby and my boyfriend to recognize all the birds, or "cocos" like my baby says.
