Best vacations ever

Well, it’s easy to go on vacations and spend a good time, but thinking on the best one that I ever had its kind of hard. But I think that my best vacations where back in 2016, my vacations started with the end of the PSU and my birthday, the 1^st of December, from that day and ahead I only used to party, not only in the weekend, also in the laboral days.

Then in January I went to Pichilemu with a lot of friends, I think that I had no respect for my liver and lungs, because I used to smoke a box of cigarettes and drink a box of wine… every day, I think that I don’t remember the half what happened in Pichilemu.

At the end of January I went to Viña del Mar with a friend, it was just a few days, but I used to smoke weed every day, I didn’t drank… so much.

Then in February I travelled to Valdivia with my family and a friend’s family and it was almost the same, in the daylight we spent time with our families, but in the night we smoke a lot and drank a lot.

I think that while I less remember a vacation the best it is.

My laboral future

I don’t really know what to expect of me when I finish my studies, I mean, I know what I want to do but, once you finish the university, everything will be different, I’ll have to get a job, and the possibilities that it’s going to be the job of my dreams are low, but lower are the possibilities that these job weren’t what I expected.

I mean, before getting in the university I never wanted to be in an office, I hate it, to be sitting all day, for 5 days a week, all the years long in the same desk didn’t sound good for me. But in the reality maybe it is what I’ll have to do.

But I also have to think that in that office it’s where I’m going to gain experience, to solve problems and give the best of me. I thought, when I was a little kid, that the architects only created, but now I know that there’s a tough process, and that work need to be in an office.

Also there’s a lot of works that an architect can do, like urbanist, designer, historian, etc. But I think that I need to learn more to decide which one will be my vocation.

My summer vacations

I don’t really know what I’m going to do in this vacations, whit the problems that the university had the last year the summer time had reduced, I only got February to enjoy it, meanwhile, in January I have to do the finals and university stuff.

So, meanwhile, I’m studying, working and all that things, my friends are posting pics on their Facebooks while they’re on his vacations, enjoying the beach, partying, or laying down somewhere.

But as soon as I finish my studies, I will lay down on my house in Machali, I also have plans to go out, to some beach, like la Serena, Maitencillo or Pichilemu. I have expected to go out one week with friends, and the another one with my family. I think that it’s going to be very fun.

But not everything it’s about going out and partying, I also want to read a few of book, that I couldn’t read in these weeks because I had no time, a couple of them about architecture and the other one it´s called 1984, a friend recommended it to me.

So I think that this summer is going to be very great, in despite to the troubles that I’ve already talked.

My experience using blogs

In my opinion using blogs its very useful, it isn’t hard at all, because you only have to write about things you know or your feelings, opinions or toughs about a subject. Also is a good way to improve your English, since the beginning of the year I’m into doing blogs, I think that my English has developed a lot, also my vocabulary.

I don´t know if there are another program where it’s more easy, or amusing to express ourselves in English, but if there are in the future it would be interesting to practice English by using them. There are a lot of tools that may help. But the fact that we’re using technology for learning English seems to me fascinating and entertaining, it doesn’t take a lot of your time and all of us know how to use it

I think that most of the topics that we wrote where interesting, but there’s something I would correct, I think that we didn’t wrote a lot of things about architecture by itself, and it’s very important for us to develop ourselves in that subject. Like writing about our favorite kind of architecture, our favorite architect, building, city and topics like that.

Changes to my study program

I don’t know how many changes I would do, because just this year architecture in the Universidad de Chile changed his program. The new program, in my opinion, it’s more interesting, there are less math, science and stuff, but there are more urbanism and specialized chosen subjects, also, the career least less and there are more free time.

Despite that I think that this year the schedules were very well adjusted, I think that the career still being too long, I mean, compared with the same career but in others universities, from other countries, like in Europe, where architecture last like  4 years.

I think that the infrastructure of this university isn’t very good. The university have problems with cleaning it, there aren’t enough workers to do all that job. There are a good system of providing tool for the students in “El Hoyo”, but what this faculty needs it’s a nursing, Here the people work every day, but, What would happen if there´s an accident? This place should be prepared for this kind of problems.

Now, talking about technology, I don’t know how prepared is this university. I know that there’s a lot of computers, a laser printer, normal printers and a few plotters, also a projector in most of the classrooms. I would set more and better printers and plotters. I know that it isn’t cheap, but is required in this career.

I think that the teaching methods are very demanding and tough, but I wouldn’t change it, because, for years it has been the way to teach architecture, I don’t know if a change would be good.

Someone i would like to meet

I think that’s is hard to decide who I would like to meet, if it’s a musician, an athlete, a politician, an artist or an architect, not only because I think that I can have an interesting conversation, also because I would like to recipe new thoughts and new knowledge .

In my opinion, and trespecting to the polic world, I would like to have met Salvador Allende, this is the politician that I most admire, He has a very wise ethics, and for me he is a symbol of perseverance, strength, and loyalty, one of the politicians who gave the most to people, like health and education. I would like to know and learn a lot about his point of view.

Now, talking with respect about architecture, I would like to meet the Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, He is also the winner of the last Pritzker, that’s is compared with the Nobel prizes of architecture. I would like to talk not only about his architectonic style, also I would like to learn a lot about his way of seeing the social housing, is one of the subjects that are more interesting for me, also is one of the subjects that I want to work on in the future

I think that a lot of the people that I admire, the topics  I would to talk with them are about social matters, andget to know their points of view, not only of their way to see social things, also life.

Postgrade studies

I think that postgrade studies are important for the professional’s career, in my case I think that arquitecture it’s a very wide career, so I would like to have a more specific knowledge of any subject.

The subjects that are more interesting for me are: patrimony, social housing and urbanism. In these studies I would like to travel to Italy for patrimony, and travel to England for social housing and urbanism. But If I can’t have the possibilities to study in Europe I would like to study in Universidad de Chile or in Universidad Catolica.

I would like to take part time courses, so I would have time and I could do different activities, like sport, traveling and reading. Also, if I study in Europe I could travel all through it, it’s easy and it doesn’t take all your time.

I like patrimony because I think that it’s important to preserve and know our historical architectural monuments, and I would like to be part of it. I also would like social housing and urbanism, because I think that these subjects are important to make a bigger cities and better societies, and that’s what Chile needs
