First Semester... Good And Bad Points

Hi everybody! My name is Piero and I'm new in this group of intermediate English, first of all let me tell you that I'm belong to the Obstetrics career and let me tell you that being studying here at the Universidad de Chile is like a big honor, I mean this is the best University so it's really exciting to be part of it.
And well, last semester was my very first experience in many challenging aspects, because it was the first time that I have to live alone, because I'm renting a department in front of the faculty, and also because the fact of being in the university it's a complete change in every person's life, I mean what I used to study in School was nothing compared of what I have to study now. But that's the fun part, because the subjects are really really interesting right now, for example in the fisrt semester one of my favorite subjects was Embriology, because is amazing to learn about how every person gets the human form during the pregnancy of our mothers, and let me tell you, I have to recongnize that during the fisrt semester I didn't practice any kind of sports, and during the past months I'm 18 pounds fatter than in the summer, which acording to my Doctor wasn't a good thing, but I really not so worry about it because for me the important thing is no to be hungry, because if the stomach is happy I can study in a better way. But I promise that next summer I will practice some sports hopefully everyday, to get back my normal body shape.
Another thing about university is the fact that you are able to meet a lot of people and I had the luck that I have a lot of friends and they're all really nice people.
Finally, I can say that the biggest support here in this new life that I haver here in Santiago is my girlfriend Catalina, who was my neihgbour there in Rancagua, and that is also living here in Santiago, studying another Health Area career.
Okay... that's it for now, I hope to share some other things with you people in some future blogs... Greetings... Piero
