writting task 1

Monotony, having a schedule, not being able to make the slightest change in their day-a-day rutine. That might sound boring for many people, but there is a group of people who loves this, an organized life with no miscalculates or flaws. Adventuring, going to places you've never been, jump into life recklessly and never look back to how life was before; exciting, dangerous, improvised.

I consider myself to be kind of a mixture of these life-styles. I hate rutine, I can't take doing the same things over and over again. You wake up, take a shower, have breakfast -always the same breakfast, because if not you will probably be late-, go to work/school/college, go back home, homework, dinner, bed-time. You might think this description is wrong because you can perfectly have programmed leissure-time. Yes, you can, but after some "laps" of your schedule, the leissure time will become only one more task of the "to do's" of the day, it will not be a comfortable period of time. Eventhough I hate routine, I don't like either when people changes their mind at the last minute. I program my time thinking of all things I have planned the day before or during the week, so when someone tells me in the last minute they cancel what we were supposed to do, it really bothers me. I usually spend the left-over time doing nothing, navegating the internet or just whinning about how someone cancelled minutes ago and thinking of how much fun it could have been.

I fight monotony by always trying to do something new, going to restaurants I have never been before, going to the cinema during the week, watching a film in my house or even cooking some dish my grandmother tought me. I sometimes even like going out for a walk, just to breath different air from the one in my house, spend time watching people's behaviour or just watching the day wear off, just like old jeans.

I guess college really makes people lives monotone. I always ask people when was the last time they spend time looking to the sky and watching clowds pass by or draw figures with the stars. Many of them answer it has been some time. Some other people tell me they do it all the time, then I ask them what color is our sky. They usually don't know the answer, because our sky -Santiago's sky- is not blue, but some tone of purple/light blue, and if you look during a polluted winter's day you might feel ashamed of the city we live in. When the sky is sort of grey.

Getting back to the point. I like programming my life, but with different things every time. Love new experiences and always think time is never wasted. You can always get something from everything you do, like knowing you really don't like doing something or some dish, or realizing you are good at some sport/game.

So when you have to decide on doing something or not, I guess you will have to think if you prefer regretting from having done it, and knowing you don't like it so you don't repeat the experience in the future, or from losing the opportunity to try and never knowing if you would have liked the expierence or not.
