IT'S OUR VACATION!

Since 2009 I don’t have 3 months of vacations because of the student mobilizations during those years, so I’m really excited about the idea of having a real holliday time.

I was considering looking for a job during December, but now I’m thinking about it, because I want to enjoy those days as much as I can. Instead of that I think I’m going to visit my sister. She lives in Concepción and I don’t see her very much because of the distance and time, so maybe that would be a good trip.

Every year I go to Viña del Mar, so, probably I’m going to go there with my family. I like there because there is so much people in the streets and there’s a lot of thing to do. Not like in Concepción, where my sister lives. It seems like nobody lives there, sometimes I enjoy the silence and calm, but there’s a point that I need that noisy city life. Besides when you are on holliday, you are not worried about anything, so things that bothers you during your “days of studying” like the metro, doesn’t matter then.

I like to travel, but I really love to stay at home as well. Sometimes I prefer staying in bed watching movies or series than going out. In my house I can do that. So, that’s totally part of my summer plans. Besides during the year there was a lot of movies that I couldn’t watch so this summer It’s time for that (of course high school musical it's part of the list)

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

During my short experience as an architecture student I would say that it has been really interesting to know that architecture it is related to many topics, not only constructive ones, like "making" architecture but investigation it's a really interesting option to me. I would like to take a course of History of Art and Architecture, because I think that can help me to understand the expression of the time through this artistic ways. Culture and the way that the human lives is known because of the study of this subjects and I think that maybe in the future people will know about our society as we know about the past.

 Where to study it isn't something I thought about it, but I would like to complement the course with traveling. In History class, our teacher told us about the places that he visited and how you can feel being there and not only looking pictures. So, knowing physically the places, not only in a "tourist" way but really living in first person the experience could help me to understand somehting that i only knew because of books. How people live and express their vision of life day by day just living and how architecture it's an evidence of that. 

So, I think that doing the course and traveling will contribute to complement my vision as an architect.

A TEACHER, MAYBE

Last Friday I went to a building in construction and I was thinking about my future job. Is it that the job that I want to have in the future? The fact is that I don’t know, I can’t imagine myself working in a construction, but is not exciting to me working in an architecture office. So I was thinking about being a teacher. Maybe because I admire some of the people that teach me every day and I want to do the same, or at least try to.

It would be an indoor job, in a classroom and sometimes I would like to take the class out, for educational purposes, like going to museums or just to contemplate the city and the environment, and maybe traveling it would be an interesting way to learn (we are students, so we know the way that we like our professors teach us)

I think money is important because life isn’t free, but if the salary help me to live without big necessities, it would be great.

I don’t know what subject I would like to teach so, there’s no specific major that I’d like to study at the moment. But any that could help me to give important knowledge about everything, theorical and practical data would be so useful.
