#10 The Course

Imagen
I like the English class of my university, especially the blogs, because I can learning more words and amplify my vocabulary, in addition I can practice my composition. It is a good method for remember the connecting words, I can remember the majority. The new words that I meet writing blogs are many, but still I can't remember all. My biggest problem in English is the listening, It is difficult for me because I don't recognize the pronunciation of some words, and for this I think that I could see movie in English with subtitle in English, presently I only see movies in English with Spanish subtitle and I can observe as some sentence are a bad translate, but in the majority of case I don't have idea about of that say the actors, the english subtitle could a strategy. In the context of the university, I think that the blog could have other dynamic that include the listening, for example, that the topic of any blog being give your opinion about a news of tv, the teacher c...

#9 Changes

Imagen
I think that with the new course programme (that started in 2016) the university canned improve more things that been wrong in the course programme of 2015. Still is observed that the programme is as a experiment and the new subject that was proposed not function very good. For example, Transversal is a subject that consider gather the three career of the faculty, and I think that is a marvelous idea, I would like learn about Geography and especially about Design,and work together, but this semester was the first occasion that the course was imparted,  and only students of architecture and geography canned study this subject. Because? I not know, but as well as exist five courses different, with other tematics, but no student say that "I like the subject". Everyone complains that the teachers improvised the class, and is true. I would like that the Transversal, that I should study the six semester, will more planned. With respect to workload, I think that is difficult re...

#8 SUMMER

Imagen
This summer will be the first normal that I will have since I enter to university, the past year, the university have a strike for many time and the semester finished in january!. I had only little more of a month for rest and I canned not make plans, the summer flew away. This year was normal and I can think in possible ideas for make in summer: I think get a work, because if I want enjoy the summer, I will need money and my mother not give me money any time that I want leave with my friends.Unfortunately I don't have work experience and could difficult obtain a good job, so I think that should I can work in anything that not require experience, as packer in a supermarket. I not want work all summer, because I want time for rest really nor for my hobby and study new software related with my career. I think that could work 2 month. In my month of rest, I want trip with my family and my boyfriend to south of chile, specifically to Frutillar or Chiloe. I would like eat typical ...

# 7 Santiago stories

Imagen
Cycle lane in Santiago I haven't a funny experience in the public transport of santiago. I have only 2 years with a routine around of this city (and in anything case, in my town all are very quiet), andsince last year i don't use public transport, I travel in bike to university. Therefore, if I have anecdotes in Santiago not are in public transport, if not in my bike The more recent, was close to my home. The situation was the next: My route in cycle lane finish in "Estación Mapocho", this area is very conflictual, many people pass and travelling salespersons put yours food carts in the cycle lane!  Always I to get off of my bike and walk with much care (but always I fear that jump oil to me). That day, apparently two men collided with one another, just when I pass with my bike, and of a minute to other, I be stuck in a fight! I don't knew as react, I only wanted leave of the situation, but the cycle lane was full of people an I canned not pass!...

# 6 Postgraduate course

Imagen
I love the handmade sculptures and currently I practice this making small figures with cold porcelain, is my hobby in the vacation. This is the reason why in the future, I would take a course for learn to use others material more professionals as polymer clay, fiberglass and resin, materials that would allow me to make complicated forms. Also, I would like take a course about bookbinding. Other type of course that I would like take, is a violin class. I learned to playing violin in the high school, but I abandoned the orchestra after first year. I learned very fast and I not have problem in playing violin currently, but I could never control the fourth finger and the vibrato and I am quite looking forward deepen my skills. This type of course can perfectly study in chile, and I would like a part-time course. I would love to have a title or certificate for making sculptures, but I think that this not is possible in violin hahaha. And finally, I think that I will can a course relat...

#5 My future job

Imagen
When I think about my future jobs, I imagine me working in a small study of architecture, in my practice, and after I imagine me work in a municipality, of steady way. I haven't a clarity about the job opportunities, I know that a architect can work in many specialties, but I only know about desing and urban plannig, and I prefer the last, although not is a popular area. I prefer a schedule office job to full-time, I like have a organized week and I don´t like work-at-home. With a freelance schedule I would can accumulate work fo the last minute and that not is good. The idea of have my own study of architecture not excite me, I prefer a consolidated business. I would like travel, but not especially for my job because I would haven't free time for go all over, but not si a opportuny that I would reject. Whit respect to salary, I think than I would start with a small salary, around of $500.000CLP and with the time (more experience) my salary would can grow around of 1.0...

#4 Stress in FAU

Imagen
I think that stress is a topic extremely normalize in FAU (not only in the career of architecture) and I consider that this is very stupid, I not undertand how someone feel proud for learn at the expense of sleep only 3 hours. Ok, the teacher can be very good, but, overload of work is the only form o learn? Obviously no. In FAU, the stress is generated for the accumulation of work, not only of workshop, of all the subjects, this added to frustration can generated depression. The problem is that all subjects are important, but the teacher of workshop consider normal left out the other subjects for can finish the workshop work, and is logic that this is a bad idea. I my case, I suffered very much in my first year, mainly because I thought that this pace of work was normal and that I not was capable. Finally, I understood that my quality of life decreased and not was my blame, the next semester I chose with care my teachers. My only advice is not to blame oneself, the problem is the...
