Learning english

I really enjoy english, and it's amazing that the faculty has it as a subject. It's actually the one I like the most.

I find learning english is really useful because in this modern times, everything is in that idiom. Even the programs you have to use for the career. It could be any of the ones there are here. In my case it is architecture.

I took English 3 with professor Simon in the first semester I got here. We also had to write blogs and I still find it entertaining. Writing about your experiences and learning about your classmates too.

The classes are really helpful because sometimes I learn new words that I can use when I have to write, read or listen to something.

I read a lot in english in social media. You could think it's not practical, but it really teaches you how to use time expressions properly like an English speaker.

But that's the thing. It doesn't teach you how to 'speak' just by reading. And that is something I think I could improve: the accent. But I use english songs a lot too, and some videos on youtube and series that don't have subtitles, so that helps in some way.

In class some days we have to talk to each other and that helps with the pronunciation too. And honestly, I can't think of anything right now to improve the class, because it is very complete. We see videos of people talking, listenings, the blogs, and some other things.

So that's all I have to say! 👽

Fau study program

I'm studying 2nd year of architecture here in Universidad de Chile. The year I got here was just when they changed the carreer's curriculum: from anual to biannual. I consider myself lucky, because previously you had to do a whole year again if you did not pass a subject.

So far I like architecture, I do not plan to leave (yet). Some people tell me that I'm going to end up insane and I'm starting to feel it.

There is this new subject called "transversal" and all I have heard are bad opinions. Even from different types. Sometimes it's a waste of time you could be using for working or leisure time. Maybe there are exceptions though. I took the cinema one because I thought it could be fun, but all they do is watch documentaries and comment photographs. I don't say that documentaries are boring, I like some, but you know, in the moment you think "I could be doing something more productive"

I think that maybe it would be interesting if there could be other idioms for cfg's, like french or even japanese! But maybe not so many peoble would want to join, I don't really know.

Talking about the infrastructure of this faculty... leaves much to be desires. I mean, it floods everytime it rains, and it's ironic since it is the faculty of architecture (and design and geography, but you see the point). I know it was not always that way, but it could be improved!

Time travel

I've said it before, I like living in the present. Enjoying every moment this life gives me. But today I'm going to write about what I would do it I could travel through time.

My father is a big fan of the movie "back to the future". I've watched each at least 2 times. I remember the bad guy figuring out how to become a millionaire by betting money in sports. I would do something like that, but with art! Buying paintings from underrated artist (that are now famous) and selling them in the future. Maybe even keep some for me. I could even have a museum for them.

Then I think to myself "internet didn't exist back then" and think again. I have a problem with social media, I know it.

The past had a lot of interest things, we have a lot to learn from it, but today everyone is focused in the future. We have to be more conscious of our world. I would prefer going to the past so I could prevent so many polluting with today's projects and technology.

So if I went to MY life in past I wouldn't change anything, because everything that has happened to me made me be who I am today, good or bad. And if I went to the future, I wouldn't like everyone to be older or even not in this world anymore, like my family and friends
