An ocassion when I got lost
Hello, everybody! I need to talk about this for my English class, and I wrote this. Let me know what do you think!

An occasion when I got lost
It was summer 2011, and I traveled alone to the south of Chile, to visit Torres del Paine, a beautiful national park, located 60 km from the city of Puerto Natales.
The idea was to realize the circuit known as W. The so-called Los Cuernos (the typical photograph of the park) are found at the east of the park, but there are other places of interest, such as the Gray Glacier and the French Mirador, which gives a rear view of the horns. It was precisely in this last place where my story begins.
I woke up early that day. It was freezing, because it had been raining all night, however, it was only cloudy at the time. It was two hours of hiking to get to the Mirador Francés, so I took a daypack with water and some food and started my trek. I was enjoying the view: the forest and the rivers were very soothing, and I took several photographs.
I worried about following the indications of the road, but due to the rains and wind of the previous day, one of the signs had been hidden (I think by some branches that had fallen). From one moment to another, I was in the middle of the forest, and not knowing where to go. Instead of feeling desperate, I was firmly convinced that I would find a solution. Fortunately, I already had experience to orient myself and I only had to reach a high area, outside the forest, to find the way. As I ascended, I met a Brazilian boy named Eduardo, who spoke Portuguese and Spanish. I told him how I expected to find the way and advised him to follow me. We were 20 minutes walking, until we reached the top and were able to find the route. It was definitely worth it and I felt like the most helpful person in the world! Then we continued our way to the end, and got this breathtaking view. Even the sun came out!
The rest of my trip was relaxed and beautiful and I was well accompanied, arriving the last day at my goal, Los Cuernos of Torres del Paine. It was so incredible!

About the last movies I saw
In last two weeks, I saw the following movies: The Hateful Eight, Black Mass, Zootopia, The Fifth Wave, Deadpool and The Martian, some in home and some others in the cinema. Most of them I really liked, but one I think it was a huge waste of money for me (because I saw it on cinema). Do you guess which one was?
By other side, do you have your favorite among those movies? why?

I don't like my job
Actually, I don't like where I am. It's pretty boring...
I'm a geologist, and I like Earth's Sciences, but I think I'm wasting my time now. My passion is teaching, but here I can't do that. I guess soon I'll quit my job and follow my dreams (hahaha, it's sounds so magical that).
How about you, guys... do you like what are you doing now? What would you change in your lives?
