Winter's vacations are here!

I'm really excited for this winter's vacations, I want to sleep all the hours I couldn't sleep this term. It was a very exhausting term and the next is going to be worse, so I have to take a break and enjoy the free time.
My favorite thing to do on the vacations is read and watch a lot of series and movies on my computer. This are things I can do on my own. So the first thing I have to do is find a really good book. (I accept suggestions). With my friends I love to go shopping, go to parties, go to the cinema or just get out of town for a few days. I love the beach, it's my favorite place to go on vacation.
Because is winter there is another place where I'm wishing to go... ¡the mountains! It's a really expensive
place but I'm planning to go with some friends from another university, 'cause they have discounts. So if all goes to the plan I'm going to have a great time in Farellones.
Finally, my another favorite thing to do on vacations is eat! And because my mother is a teacher, so she also have winter's vacations, I'm really hopping to eat whatever my mom cook for me.

A Website

Well, I guess that Twitter is a career related website, isn't it? I study journalism so I think it is and I'm going to tell you why.

Twitter is an online social networking and “micro blogging” service that enables its users to send and read text post of up to 140 characters, knows as “tweets”. Users can tweet via the Twitter website, by SMS or by smart phones. You can “follow” the others accounts and the can “follow” you back. You can also send “Direct Messages” to your friends if you are both following each others.

I visited Twitter every day, like literally every day. It’s the first website I open when I connect to the internet and while I’m in my computer I never close the site.

Anyone can have a twitter account so there are many Medias that have an account and that is exactly the point what I’m talking about when I said that is a “career related website”.

I’m a very organized person so I always list everything (books, clothes, pencils, papers, etc.) and in my twitter account I do exactly the same so I have this “list” call “Información Nacional” (National News) that has more than seventy twitter accounts just related to journalism: Newspapers websites, radio websites, politicians, TV websites, museums websites, online newspapers, etc. So I can always check the news of the day. It’s really, really helpful especially because the twitter accounts are updating information all the time.

I just love that Twitter is so actualized, is very useful for the journalism and as a journalism student I have to be aware of all the things that happens in the world. 

You can also have a twitter account! Just visit: www.twitter.com
