Course and self evaluation

What I expect from my vacation

Vacation is, for the most people, an instance for to get away form all things that always we do, like work and studies, for relax and do nothing. I always do that, but now it gonna be different.

I think that I will stay in Santiago (maybe in some moment I gonna go to the beach), because It's a little expancive trouble and right now I don't have any mony to do that, also I want to take advantage of the time that i will have forgrow myself (I mean in my skills).


First of all I want to recover three things; my physical condition, Germany and my Art's skills.

For the first one I want to do excercise every day, because I lost so much of it whith the study and I want to feel strong again, like in the school. What I loved most about exercising was that I felt imbecile and I never got tired. I miss that feel so much.

For the second one i want to learn by myself. I think that it won't be so hard for me, because when I was kid I was learning german and I realy liked it, but I could not continue, because I moved from town and didn't enter a German's school again, but I remember little so that's make it more easy.

And for the last one I want to do two things; Take a class and practice by myself. I always want to take a class for learn new drawing techniques or learn something new like sculpture, but is expencive so probably I will need work in something for page it (I am thinking in a coffe shop or a Craft's shop).
This kind of things I would like to do, whishes and...relax!, of course.

Metro Stories: "A bad Smell"

First of all, this Line is under of Line 1 which means it is deeper, so you must go down the stairs if you want to take it.

I was in the platform waiting the train (the floor more deeper) and the smell it was so gross (I remember It was like be inside of WC), all the people was with the hand on theirs nose (so do I) trying to escape from the smell. The train finally arrived and everybody run to enter and I think "It gonna be better inside" because the smell it was outside of the train, but when we were inside the smell was much stronger than after and everybody was like "OMG!" whith bad faces. This was strange "Wasn't the smell from outside?". 

One Time in the Metro I was hoping a train like every day, but in a new Line (Line 5, Metro Tobalaba), but something wasn't right.

When I arrived to Tobalaba and the doors (The train of Line 1) I felt a strange smell from the station, but at the first I didn't care. So I started to walk to the stairs (this station have a lot to stairs) and the smell was more and more strong and disgusting. I thought that it could be a broken pipe or something like that, because the metro is underground so that had sense to me.


The train didn't start for a long time (like ten minute) and anybody didn't know, but just we know that anybody haooy whith the situation. Suddenly a Men who worked in the metro went to into the wagon and he started to looking everywhere! under of sit and every person until he stopped and ask to a person if he could open his bag. The person didn't want, so the guard open it and...ha had....how to say it?.... he had poo in his bag, A LOT POO! and not like poo of animal or fertilizer it was HUMAN'S POO! A LOT HUMAN'S POO! The situation was so random, unexpected and so GROSS!. I had to ask a strange "Is that happening?!" because I couldn't believe.

They took the person out of the wagon and the train moved. Everyone was so relieve because they finally continued theirs way and the smell was gone.

Postgraduate Studies

First of All, It's important define what is a "postgraduate" and form me is kind of diferent to the most people. Well I think that It could be whatever thing that you want to studie after made you mayor, is or isn't relate with it, incluided another mayor, not just diplomate, manor or doctorate. So with this answer you can imagen that i want to make another mayor, Art mayor, for be exactly.

I always wanted to study Plastic's Art since I was a kid and I LOVE IT! everything related to that!, but with the time i started like things like math and physics, so I tried to combinate the two side and Architecture showed up, but now, with two years in this career I understood that It isn't Art or Math, It's just another diferent thing.

Probably you think "So.... WHY DON'T YOU CHANGE IT?!" and It's because I want to finish it, because in some way It's kind of tool for my studies, or that I want to think.

Well, I made some search and I like to study in London, because there is the best University for study Art and, unlike Chile, the career is more short, just 3 years and  in Chile is 5 years.

I image myself living there in London, going to my class in a bike and working in Coffe Shop or something simple in the Afternoons, It will be so nice live in another country whith a simple life; like a break. I think is so important the experience of the class, specialy Art, because you can lose some important stufs and that is another reason that show why I don't want to study in long distance.

I realy hope do that someday, for me this is most important "Life Goals".

Stress and workshop

The blog of today will be therapeutic for me and sadly for you, because, basicly, I'm gonna tell you how my life is being eaten by my career; The evil Architecture.

Well, first of all, I want to clear to you that I don't hate architecture, just sometime (and even more), but that happen, because It doesn't give me time for like it or do anything for me. I think that is the worst parte "I don't have time for me, do what I like".
Since I studied this I can't do more sport, paint, go out with friends or try new things, sometime I believe It's not whorth it. This is the most stressing thing of this for me, because  I feel like I am losing my humanity and becoming a machine.

Another things that stress to me are the lack of sleep and the large number of things to do, which cause the great problem mentioned above. I feel It make me crazy.

Nevertheless I try think why "I'm doing this", sometime is hard, for not surrender, because I fight for the end of this (use this career like tool). So the conclusion is "Try to hold on, and wait. I know is difficult and painful, but at the end everything should be rewarded".....should....that's my worry.
                               

A unexpected Concert

Well, It's suposse that I should tell to you about my favorite concert, but the true is "I just went to a one concert in my entire life". Yeha, that's true and it wasn't on purpose.

It was at the end of Sumer, My family (my mom, my little brother, my uncle and his girlfriend) was planning to go to a tribute of The Beatles which was in the Araucano Park, at the night. I realy like Beatles, but not too much the idea  of tribute, because they wasn´t the reals ones, however It's was free abd the music will be ok, so I thought: "Why not?". Anyway, when we got there, there was light everywhere, people gathered and a big stage, so we waited there.

The show started, but they weren't the Tribute, they were GEPE! for REAL!. At the first we stayed, because we thought that was the opening for the Beatles, but we realized whuth te time that was a concert of GEPE, so we chose to stay. The show was fun, the music good and folkloric, and It was free.

I think The Beatles are much better than GEPE, but in this case the real won't be always, and the tributes will be.

Musica: "How have your interest changed?

Well, firste of all, when we were young (like kids or babys) we didn´t have a realy opinion about anything, because it's a learning stage that mean we are just seeing and memorising the enviorenment and learning about experience. The same thing happens whith the musical tastes.

In a simple way, our Parents listened music and  we tried to be more like them, so at the first we just like it, because we were associating whith the family, a safe place. My safe place was the Beatles, Queen, Abba, Tracy Chapman, Rolling Stone, Elvis Presley, David Bowie The Beach Boys and another music between 60'-90'. They realy like rock and pop (and I still listen it).

The It's was the Second stage in adolescence, where we started to recive another information about other people, like friends, kids of us school, TV's shows, etc. In this Satge, we have two alternatives, fall to them for the society's asseptance or start to think if you realy like it. In thats years of my life, not far to day, my friends and another person liked to listen "Reggaton" and I couldn't understan it, every songs was the same to my, for  me it is just noise and a justification to rub your body against another person, so I started my own search.

I realy opned to listen diferent's type of music, but The music I realy like is that makes my feel something deep, like, for an fews examples, ballet, tangos, swing, aternative music, Indy Rock, classic, Jazz and the music I mationed it.

I think that I have a comlex taste, and  I like that, because If just try to listen one type of music, I am not enjoying it.

I picked this picture about this girl, not because music means something bad for me, It's just that I feel that picture shows what I am feeling when I listen my musci. It's like being in another place wrapped by the sound an the moment.

The Magic Scenery of Ireland

Since I was a little girl, I have always been connected with the nature. I grew up in different places of Chilean which was almost always on the outskirts of the city, in farms. I think that It is so important have a relashionship with nature, because it make you understand so many thing and been in peace.
I believe that Irland is one of that places, the culture, the nice people, but also It have something magic. The cliffs, the little old towns, the montain, the plains, the castles, the farms, the cold and the green are a combination that only see in dreams and farytales. That is something aextraordinary and unreal. 
I know that places form the movies like Leap Year or series like Home by the Sea that shows the amasing landscape of Irland. It´s imposible not love this places.
When I am independent I would like go to vacation and If the things go well I would like to live in a farm maybe Dublin's periphery. I really like Farm´s Life.

The Truth of feel good?

We have all been in a dificult situation where you don´t know what would be better, Say the truth or something that wouldn't hurt?

Like a Firts point of view I think immediately the best thing to do is say the truth.
When i was a little girl I could get annoyed easier and fell so bad when I did  something wrong. I really used to felt awfull, but when I began to grow i started to think "Why I should feel bad when those things happen?" I mean, my parents, my teachers and adult people in general tried so hard to made me feel bad for so many little things. In that moment I realized that they really weren´t interested if i understood the situation, they just wanted me to stopped that is more quickly than teach. I don´t say that everyone is bad, they just repeat wath they learn. So, this make me understand that we shouldn´t feel bad with anything, it is just a mistake, and that is good, because we learn from our mistakes.

So, What does all this have to do? Well, one of the things that they told us that it was bad; the Truth. People think that sometimes we must lie so we don´t make feel bad to the other, but the real question is it "Why this person would feel bad of something truth".

This kind of person isn't prepared, because they never make it to themself and don´t undertand it.

The other day my friend saw me with a sweater and made a joke. She said "you look like an old person" and I answer to her "It's just because it was of my granmother" she felt so bad for said it, and I noticed, so I told to her "but don´t worry, don't feel bad for that, I am not angry. It's t9rue, because i´m using her clothes, and not because you have a bad intention of reminding me that she passed".
my conclusion is that the society had made us vulnerable to nonexistent danger (the truth)  and that there is no real need of using it (only on extreme cases).

My Favourite Vacation

When they told me the topic of this week, i thought that it was a ridiculous and a simple question, even boring, but I underestimated it. I understood that I can´t choose one, because i have favorite parts of all of them. And another problem that I found when I started to think in my first vacacion I realized that I can´t remember that, because in my childhood i felt like everyday was "vacation's day".
When I was a young girl I never got bored, everything was New and interesting, I never had any responsibilities like studying or problems such as problem in my family or illness etc. In that case i am choosing my life as younling as my favorite vacation.

A Post-Graduate a Might

well, i have already mentioned about this in another blog, more than doing a             post-grade, I've always wanted study more than one career (which for me it would be doing my own post-grade). those careers would be plastic art and art history. As you can see these two careers are related (also related to my actual career) but that is not the reason of why I want to do them, it is simply because i like them.
for me doing a post-grade is made to enrich more your knowledge and I think that the best way to enrich your knowledgement is giving it variety and that is not achieved by doing it in specializations of just one theme, in the end, it means knowing a lot about just one thing; which it means being obsolete for the life.

My Dream job

Well, I always think in this, because I am using my career to be another thing, and i have to many dream jobs, but today I want to talk about one kind of a possible dream job;Writer and Ilustrator of Children's Book.
When i was a girl I liked to read books about Fables, I had a one big book with ilustrator and it taught me to many things. Sometimes I used to open it just to see the artwork for hours, It never tired me, I always found new details in the draw or significate.
i would love to make the children feel what i felt with every word and every draw that this book made me feel, Besides the meaning of a fable is to leave a lesson and i find it an interesting task; leaving a print of experience of my own in a kid's tale. I think that being a writer of this kinds of stories it's a challenge because it's not just about gaining a child's attention it's also about being a children's because we have to understand them so the lesson can get to the children and that's why this is one of my favorite dream jobs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

My Blogging Experience

Well, for to start I always am thinking that Writing is a good excersice for your grammar and redaction, but the most important is that you are developing your thoughs and doing a reflection. I always tried to start, but i never had any time fot do it.

This class gave to me the opportunity for practice to write my opinion and also learn english, but I really hoped that could write thnigs of my interest like education, the good and bad, etc.

I don´t say that the topic are boring, because some of the blog i really enjoy it (lihe the blog about (the true or feeling good, this was very interesting), but some of this isnt was very fun like "my vacation". Anyway, I understand that this type of blog are very important for practice are vocabulary (th principal object of this is to get better Englis), also you can made that It was more interested for you.

When I started to write I began to look all the point of view of the topic for tried to gave it another spin for the topic, in that way the exercise it was more complex and that was my object; the deep relection. 

I am so grateful, because they gave to me the habit for atarting to have writing for myself and I want to give the advice to you: "start writing too!". A blog isn´t necessary. It could be in a notebook, twiter or wathhever, just do it.

Contact Sport

When i  was a little girl my mom started to bring to her trains. She did endurance races, swimming and bicycle and I had to do it. I didn't like do it, It was very boring to a little girl go to run to nowhere very day, but with the time I undestand that is realy good for everyone do a sport that was like to meditate. My mom taught the Will and with out that I would never have discover the one of the thing i am, Sport contact. Also I very liked the superheroes (until now) and they taught me that the everyone was strong in some way, but we just don't know how and that we are limite ourself.

One they in the school we play dodgeball and i was the last, but nobody can hit me because i was realy quickly, I felt like a fast superhero, i realy belived that. And another day i discovered another power, my string and determination. When I had 10 year old, i have my fist Taekwondo competition, i was just a white ribbon (the lowest grad) and it was a problem, because been a little girl that do this type ofs sport it wasn´t common, there just was a one girl of my age, but she was a nlue ribbon green tip (a high grade). I was scare, beacuse it was my first time, and this girl have so much experience.

The fight started and i tried to scape, she was quickly and she push me to the ground and she get it a point. 

Everyone was so worried form me but in the second time i took my determination decide don´t scape anymore. I gave the best of me and almost win, but my instructor it was surprised, because he saw that i almost won with out know anithing to a girl who could let me to hurt.

I learn that they that my Will can everything and i apply to everithing that i do, and another sports.

Today i don´t do Taekwondo, but i do futbol, voleybal, archery and keep runing, this thing help to me a lot for keep happy.

A Subject I enjoy: Culture and History of Architecture

In My life I have had diferents Favorites Subjects, like Mathematics and Arts was it when I was in the school. But in this moment, like a architect student, a subject that I enjoy very much, and is my favoriteis, is Culture and History of Architecture. 

This subject it's about how the architecture is changing by the different thoughts that develop over time and form different artistics movements, like Barroque, Renaissance, Romanic, etc.

In this class we learn a different point of view then like History in the school. It show you the subject from the thought they are developing to understand their surroundings from art, philosophy, belief and everyday life.

The Profesor who I have know so much about the subyect, every single detail, but he sometime is a little hard with us sometimes.. He speaks to us during the class while he is teaching slides with pictures that illustrate what he is saying to us.

I really like this subject, because it make me love the history. In the school for me the history was very broing, but en the university they show me in a more artistic way and they being able to persuade me to enjoy it and, also, I became one of the best of the classes, Who would have imagined?!

My Favourite Architect: "Santiago Calatrava"

When I started to think about that, It was so hard for me choose one, but I decided who was more important to me and i want to be more like. This peron is Santiago Calatrava.

For who don´t know him, he is an arquitect form benimámet Spain who also he's an ingenire and a sculptor. He made forty proyect in his life (he isnt´t dead).

Well I like him because his work is always related with abilities and thoughts. I think that his differents securitis made to hima a more complemnt arquitect and I admire a person who could  convinated his skills and make a better thing.

I like the way that he explain his work. He usually related his proyect with a concept, something that was too thought. Like his building "Turning Torso" that it´s in the Malmö (in Sweden), he said that it was like a women and a man at the same time, because it is curve that reminds you of the feminine ,but with wide determinations like the rough back of a man. Also he said too that the building is the abstraction of a person making a slight turn.

And that why I choose him, not necessarily for the beauty of his costruction, because he always had a especific thougth about his buildings, an artistic expression.

How I would like to work

They have never been asked "how would you like to work in the office or outdoors? Well, this question I can't answer this question so fast, and I think that It´s depends. What is "outside" and "inside"? My final answer is that I would like to work in both.

How I mntioned in previous blogs, I would like work in to many things, and that things, mainly, are be an artist, a professor and a arquitect.

Like as a Artist I image me in my art studio painting with a loud music, but sometime I would like to go to natural places to paint in the silence. I feel that in this kind of creation process you don´t need to be in a isolated places, also we need to see beyond us and get rich of it.

Like as a Professor I realy like to made class outside and go to explore in different places, because I think that the students need to see that they learn it and not just listen or read it. A porfessor how teach me that in her classes and even inspired me to want to be a teacher is Alicia Campos.

And,by last, like as Architect everyone know how it is work.This necessarily necessitates field trips and office work, for understand the places and make the design.

In conclusion, We can decide where you want to work in the futur, because, we need the two moladities. We are changing beings, so I will leave that thougt : "you decide how you will do the things. There is more than one way."

My future as an architect

Architecture is a carrer that isn´t just for create buildings or design hauses like everyone think, but is, rather, a tool for whatever i want to use, in fact, I am studing it because of that, like I said in another blog, i'm complex, because i like to much things like art, sport, mathematic, and another stuff, so it´s not necessary that I will study just architecture.

In my country if you don´t keep specialy and study the same career, they consider to you like a usless person. This thougt about specialty is to much pressure, just do a onething the rest of your all whole life, but I thing that this isn´t the only way to began a great profesional.

A good example of that is a profesor of our university in the Law’s faculty, the profesor . He just not study law for been the great profesor who he’s to day, also he study mathematic. I know, thet two things are completely diferents, but whith out them he couldn’t do any thing he did it (been a profesor of rethoric and economist). He took advantage of mathematic and learn logistic. He could demostrate that we can make that two things can be beter together however different thay are.

So, I want to, after finish my career, do a postgratuate in structure and construction, but also I want to study Plastic’s Art, make a diplomate in History of Arte and Filosophy, and take class of dance like lindy hop, charleston, tap ballet, and have my art studio and been an architect and to much another things that I want to do it.


I am complex and I refuse to let my life be simplified into one thing.

Autobiography

Well, it's very dificult decide for anyone how to start this type of question, because this is about, to the most people, how do you want the readers look to you. Some people try so hard like them or another try to show a point of view, but i can´t say what kind of people they are for that.

I really believe that it is important to share the above, because in this blog I want to think out loud for whatever you think about me it come from something true and not try to say in a way, just like is. Getting to know people can be deifficult, so i gonna try you make it easy.

Anyway, just for conventional, I am from Valdivia (Chile), but all my childhood I spend It in diferent places, traveling and staying for a few years. In Those places I learned so many thing knowing people and facing new chances. I felt so old, but i am19 years old , that because I really like think the stufs that happen in around, I can't avoid give importance to the things, but not like a neurotic's person, just I really think that the way we make everything can say to much about us.

Whatever, for continue with the formal, It´s hard to say everithing that I like it or I´m interesting and what thing that I really do. The things i like are art, history of arte, history of Greece, old fashion, Superheroes (especially spiderman, captain america adn wolverine), contrysides,

And the things that I like to do are look film, do sport (dance Lindy Hop, do martial Arts, play volleyball, walk, play futball, do Archery), draw, ilustrait, eat desserts (especially chocolate!), do trekking, travel to new places, sleep (to much), to converse whith new and known people (there is always something to say) and be with my self.

I feel that nothing I have said can ever come to my senses, but it's a start. I would like to be able to explain them because everything I said I like it, but I suppose that we will respond with time.

I hope I have not bored them both with long explanations and that someone understood the point of having written all this in this way, because this, also, say how i am.
