Post 4: My favorite book

So, I have to post about my favorite book but, in fact, I have two favorite books. One of them is The Coffee's Sediment by Mario Benedetti. It's about the life of a man called Claudio, who lives in a neighborhood in Montevideo, Uruguay. The story is full of his experiences. I think it's a great novel.
The other book is The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. It's about the adventure of a hobbit called Bilbo Bolsón. A hobbit it's a fantastic creature of a fantastic land called "Middle Earth". This book is part of The Lord of the Ring's saga, which is awesome.
My favorite authors are Mario Benedetti, Gabriel García Marquez, and Hernán Rivera Letelier. I love these authors because their stories have a lot of Latin American influence (which is obvious because they lived here) and also I like their books, like One Hundred Years of Solitude, Saint Mary of the Black Flowers and others.
Now I'm reading a book called Privileged Witness by Orlando Sáenz Rojas, who is a man that tells his experiences with important figures of the Chilean history. I don't recommend it because he speaks with his political perspective, which I don't share.

Post 5: My future Job

I've always thought about an ideal job for me, since I was in school. I think in this moment of my life I would like to work as an architect, because that's what I'm studying, but I don't know exactly in which area, all I know is that it has to be an outdoor job because I don't like the idea of being in just one place for a long time. Also, I'd like to have a job where I can relate with other people from other groups, like in an urbanistic area or in the area of social housing. About the salary, I don't care about how much it is as long as I can get enough for paying a house or even a rental or a lease, and to keep studying. In this moment, I don't know what major I'm going to take, but as I said before, It has to be something related with the urbanistic area, because I don't know another major associated with the public or with the outdoor stuff. I've always liked the graphic or visual side of the architecture so I'd also like to...

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

As I said in my last post, I'm not very clear about what I want to do in the future. In this case, I'd like to do a lot of postgraduate courses but I'm not very clear which should be first. I want to do a postgraduate course about sustainable architecture because I think this contributes to a better world but also to get better public spaces. I wouldn't do this course in Chile because I think there are better places in which knowledge is more advanced, like any Nordic country. I also would like to do a course about editorial design and another about housing and land, and this last one is the only one I'd like to study here in Chile because of the importance of this topic in the public space and its development. I would like to do a lot of courses abroad, I consider that is important to learn different visions about the architecture that sometimes you can't learn here because it has to do with the culture of the place and make a contrast with Chilean reality t...

Post 8: Summer Plans

For this summer, as the past ones, I'll probably go the beach with my family. We always go to Pichilemu and San Fernando for vacations, since I was a child because my maternal grandfathers live in there, so I think this year won't be exceptions. The last year I only had one month of vacations, but if I have two months this year I'd like to be in Santiago for one month at least, so I can work and spend some time with my friends. Also, I'd like to be in Santiago for one month because I could go to some classes of aerial acrobatics, I've been doing this the hole year but only Saturdays, because the other days I have to go to the University. Apart from going to the beach with my family, I'm planning to go there with my friends because I haven't seen them too much this year, and I always have such a great time with them. I'd like to go out with my boyfriend, but I'm not planning anything yet, I guess we'll find something to do in the moment like g...
