Blog #2 Spanish Song

The lyrics to the song are in the video. I posted this because I like the English version of the sound... I guess she's just making an analogy about how she's a little stir crazy and needs to break her usual routine and have fun.

Lifetime pensions awarded to 14 of the trapped Chilean miners

                We’ve all heard of the Chilean miners who were trapped underground for a shocking three whole months. Well, they’re back in the news again. Fourteen of the miners have received lifetime pensions—a fix amount of money that is paid at certain intervals. A ceremony was held in Copiapo where the first lady of Chile announced this news. They will be receiving an amount of money equal to $540 U.S dollars. The miners who were selected were determined by certain factors such as age, health, income, and opinions from the group of miners. The government wants to help the miners who lost their jobs due to the collapse of the mine. They are taking steps to help the miners recover from the trauma. One miner stated that the attention they are receiving has induced envy in friends and family. Unfortunately, the accident wasn’t a good thing. Many of the former miners have been working hard to earn money and a lot of them take medication to cope with the ordeal.
