My favourite career-related website

The website realted to my career i like the most is Medline Plus:
http://medlineplus.gov/spanish/

This website provides information about health, has a medic encyclopedia, has the most recent news in the medic area and offers interactive tutorials to learn about some topics. I found this site some years ago, when I still went to school. A friend of mine, who also studies medicine, had to do a proyect and found this website on the internet with a lot of information that was very useful. That's when she showed the site to me, and I use it whenever I can since then.

I visit the site not really often. I try reading the news and health topics when I have got time, but that's really difficult when you study medicine. I like very much this website because it provides a lot of relevant information and updated news on things related to health, which is very important to know for any Medicine student.

My favourite piece of technology is my laptop. I got it on February 2008, because I was going to enter University and my father had promised he would give me one so that I could use it when I got out of school. I use my laptop as a notebook al University, taking it to class and writing every note on it. This is why I use it everyday, even Saturdays and Sundays, when I must study or download any material from "U-Cursos" to do my homework.

I like my laptop because it is a multifunctional object. I can also play games on it, like Starcraft and Minesweeper; enter facebook and contact my friends; open my mail to see if anyone has the need to contact me; and also, write on this blog (which is what I am doing right now on my laptop). Life without this piece of technology would be inimaginable. I was born with it existing, so I can't imagine life without it. It is now so necesary to me, that I think life would be a lot tougher if it didn't exist. I think many peoplethink as me.

See you when I publish my next homework!

About myself

Hi! I'm Andrea Straub, but people usually call me Andy. This is my first english class here at the Law Faculty. I'm from Santiago, Chile; and I especifically live in Huechuraba. I am studying Medicine in Universidad de Chile, and I'm on my second year. I live with my father and with my stepmother in a cozy apartment. I'm a girl of regular height and regular weight, and I'm happy with it.
My hobbies are to go dancing with my friends and go shopping whenever I can. I love cats, and enjoy playing with my cat a lot, whos name is Maní. I really like to sleep well and the number of hours that I need, I go to bed every night before 9 p.m., if time allows me to do that (sometimes I have a lot to study and I can't go to bed early).
My goals in life are to finish my studies so I can have a family and take really good care of it. That's all I can tell about me now! Maybe if you continue to read my blog every week, you can get to know me better. Bye!
