Post 10: The Last One

Imagen
I really love English, so I’ll always enjoy learning it and using it in general, even when at school and university they make the learning a little boring, but that’s part of life I guess. This wasn’t the first time I did blogs, so I knew the rubric for them, but I like them. Thinking about it now, I think they were my favourite part of the English class (also I really enjoyed giving advices to Rose last week ), and I feel like they’re a good chance to practice writing and to talk about some topics we’re passionate about, or some stuff we love or enjoy. I think personally I need to learn a few words that I don’t really know, I’m bad with naming animals or fruits in English, so I must practice that in especial. For my that’s what I must improve, but if right now I would have the change to travel to other country where they speak English I’ll survive for sure, and move along very well, I have trust on myself and what I know in that aspect. I use English every single day of m...

Post 9: Changing the Study Programme

Imagen
Thinking about this, I feel like there’s not that much that I would like to change about studying journalism here, but the things that I would like to change are really important, especially for our future. One of the biggest issues that we have as students here in ICEI, is the lack of equipment for our television and audio visual courses in general. We only have 3 cameras that have to be use and share with around 150 students, I know that sounds crazy but is our reality. So I thinks that would be one of the biggest and more important changes that I would do. Other thing that I would change if I could is the basis of the career, I like that we learn about really different topics so our chances in the future are higher, but we have so much theoretical courses for 5 years of career. I would reinforce the practical part instead of teaching that much about theory. With the new curriculum mesh we only have one practice at the end of our career, for me that’s unfair in many way...

Post 8: Favorite Artist

Imagen
I love a lot of artists, so is a little bit hard to choose one but maybe it would be a good idea to talk about "the brain" behind The 1975, an english pop rock band. Matty Healy, the front man of The 1975, besides being the vocalist of the band is also who writes most of their songs and play as guitarist sometimes too. Matty’s parents are english actors, so the art run through his veins. He’s been really outspoken about really important issues like depression, drugs addiction, political topics (Donald Trump for example), and others that have been included in the songs of the band. First time I heard about The 1975 and Matty was back in 2014, when other artist that I really love went to some of their shows in the United States. But I think that I really became a fan of theirs around 2015 or 2016. Last November 30 th , The 1975 released their new album called “ A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships “ , where Matty wrote about relationships through social m...

Post 7: Current Issue

Imagen
Being a woman in 2018: Even after the feminist movement that took place this year, we are still judged for not being the way men and society want us to be. If there’s a strong, powerful and fearless woman, that’s still wrong for some people, and women are called “inconvenient”, a topic that had been taken by women all around the world, but I heard about it when an artist that I love wrote a poem about being an inconvenient woman. Halsey, an american singer, wrote a poem about different situations that women are caught up this days, and how speak out our voices, opinions and expressing our feelings is still being judged by the rest of the world, leading to call women inconvenient, referring that some behaviours are still badly seen, even in 2018. For me this issue is important because first, I’m a woman living in a time when existing is an everyday battle, and with social media is easier to be judged. But also I choose it because I feel like even though the constant f...

Post 6: A Future Course

Imagen
I’m really thinking about and considering the idea of taking some courses in Milan, Italy. There’s a fashion academy called Milan Fashion Campus, where you can find different courses about varied aspects of fashion. In my case, I would love to take some courses about clothing desing, and others about styling. My reason to want to take this particular courses is because they’ll give me the skills to write about fashion in a more professional way, but also they'll teach me to desing if I want to do it for real someday. And then if I like the experience and if I have the money to, maybe I’ll take some online courses at the same academy. I would like to take the courses in a part time mode, so maybe I can take two courses at the same time, or I can do other stuff with rest of the time. But as I said before, then I want to take some online courses, which could be at distance, living somewhere else in the world. One thing that I really like about this academy is their motto a...

Post 5: Dream Job

Imagen
I would love to have many different jobs, but all of them related to art and culture, going from photographer to fashion designer, and a lot between. But thinking about one to talk about today, I would love to write about fashion in a magazine, like the american Vogue for example. This job have to be indoor and outdoor, but my favourite part is having to travel around the world for fashion weeks, to look for new trends, and do interviews to different people in different places. So being honest, I would to do it more outdoor than indoor. I would love to travel as much as possible, not only for this job, but for life in general. I’m really thinking about taking some courses for a season in Milan, Italy. There’s an academy that looks interesting to me, and they teach about fashion in a lot of different ways. So after I finish my career here, I want to work for about a year or two, and then if I have the chance, move to Milan and take a few courses there. I’ve been a fan of f...

Post 4: Experiences

Today I want to talk about my experience living here in Santiago and starting a new life here since I moved on almost 3 years ago. Before I came I always used to think that my life here would be different, would be better than how it used to be back in my hometown, but after all I think that I was wrong. My first months living here weren't that bad, I had a social life very active and everything in general was good, but time goes by and things aren't the same now. First I had to leave my grandmother's house (I lived there during my first year of college), and around the same time I started losing people, friends and family members. Also my demons and insecurities have been growing up more and more with the matter of time. Right now my life is far from what I used to think that it would be, so my experience living my first years here in Santiago haven't been what I wanted, and also haven't been good enough, but I still have faith. I know that I have to keep goi...
