BLOG REFLECTION

It hasn't been an easy semester, because I have various complicated classes, but yet it hasn't been impossible. This class has been very interesting due to the opportunity that I have had to express out my thoughts through the journals we have done in class. This has been a new experience for me. Posting blogs and commenting on others blogs has been a great way of truely expressing my opinion, my thoughts, my personal activities and on the lectures assigned in class.  

At the beginning that I started writing and doing blogs I didn't even know what I was doing, but now I have much more knowledge then at the beginning of the semester. Eventhough now I understand what I am doing, I admit that I still have much more to learn. Writing these blogs at first gave me a lot of stress, but now I feel that I write and express myself more fluently. Posting blogs gave me a feeling of liberting the stress I have acummulated due to work, school and home, and then I was like less stressed and I could continue my assignments for other classes much better.  

I don't know if I would have to continue doing this type of homeworks next semester  but I think that If I do it might be helpful for me liberating my stress once in the while. If I don't have an other class like this I can probable just write in a notebook a couple of things and experiences lived just to feel less stress. 

INTERNAL TOURISM WITH THE FREELANCERS

     At the beginning of this semestre our literature professor assigned different groups with six classmates. My classmates and I decided to name our group The Freelancers. We didn't know ourselves until we took this class together. Making this group was a great decision because my classmates and me have made a good chemistry.  One day on of the members of our group, George decided that besides communicating ourselves only for our literature class, it would be interesting to do something all together and we planned a roadtrip. We had the road trip planned for Halloween, but we couldn't make it, so we finally made it possible on November 14, 2015 and went to "El árbol solitario" in Salinas, Puerto Rico. We planned to leave early in the morning at about 4:30 am because we wanted to see the sunrise, but because of my fault we almost don't make it,  I didn't wake up on time if it wasn't for Bianca who called me and woke me up I would have not meet my group at our point of reunion which was in the Mall of Caguas. 

     As soon as I hung up with Bianca I showered, got dressed and left. I got there at about 4:55 am and we left immediately, and arrived in Salinas at about 5:50 am. The árbol solitario es on the top of one of the mountains in Salinas. George likes to hike and has done this several times, and in this roadtrip the main event was hiking to the top of the mountain of where the árbol solitario was. He had worned us that it was going to be a little bit difficult at the beginning, but that then it was going to be easier because there was going to be many trees to hold on to. It was just like he said it was going to be, and it was totally worth it.  Seeing the sunrise and the beautiful site view was an amazing experience, something definitely unforgettable.  This was my first experience hiking, and I would love to do it again someday, even more if it is to see again a spectacular site view and a awesome sunrise.
