blogging in FAU

Like the tradition I will start with… well… here we are finish this travel of blogs. This will be my last blog for now because my architecture workshop is not very flexible and relax.  In this moment my brain is more dry than the Atacama Desert and my feelings of run to my house and sleep are in the clouds (I know that is not an expression but I “chileanaise” the expression)
In a point of the classes I started to think that 90% of my classmates are more old than me so I felt like a baby a big part of the semester in English jajaja.
My experience this year was hard. I was the type of student that study the day before, and do the homework a minutes before the class so try to establish a rhythm of work was not a very easy plan. This career it’s only for strong people and possibly crazy people. I enter here with definitely no idea of architecture, I didn’t know about workshop, and models or architects so all of this was new for me. But when the time pass and I transform into a crazy person but I love architecture.
Sorry teacher but I cannot speak about my favorite or my worst blog because I think that everyone has a part of me and my way to express and to think so choice a special one is very difficult to me. I like when my classmates speak about personal things because in some point of the career we look the classmate like a competition or like a rival and forget that we are all humans here. We commit mistakes and we sometimes we are so stressed with the career that speaks something in a inappropriate way. And then the victim is also full of stress and make a lot of drama in Fau.
We have to respect ourselves and the rest because we are the only one that knows and understand the high level and the things that architecture can do with our lives so for that reasons the personal blogs show us that we are not robots. We have feelings, we have a story behind us and we want a new story in the future.
That’s a little reflection, I hope that the person who read this think that the effort and the things that we learn are more important than a mark.
Take care and be brave!

Bye! 

A city you would like to visit

Well (I think that all my blogs start with “well” I think that is my mark, anyway, I have to mention that), a couple of weeks before this blog, in a class we have to do a homework in group. The homework was very sad because we had to think that we travel to a city and imagine time, money and activities. Basically we were planning a travel that, for the moment, we can’t do.
We choose Paris, France. I know it sounds like a repeated cliché but we definitely do that.  
From my point of view, I think that, if 90% of people want to go there is for a reason. Paris is beautiful, artistic and cultural place and I hope that all people have the opportunity to go there (me included jaja). It has a lot of characteristic places like the louvre museum or the triumph arch or, obviously, the Eiffel tower.
But in our homework we think of a travel that involves more of this places. The fact of walk around the city, the streets, the corners, the river, the people and the culture was the reason that I’m talking of this now. I think that all cities have a remarkable place (I not know all cities but I believe in that) and Paris have this cultural and artistic air, like Lastarria street but in all the city, and that’s beautiful from my point of view.

Me and my group did the promise of, in some point of our lives, go there… and I hope that can make that promise a reality. 

a special meal

Well I think that I have a lot of special meal, you know, the moment when you think about “ohhhh what can I do without this crazy people?”. I’m going to talk about one of the millions of meals that I could enjoy with my school class, the were like my brothers and I love them so much and obviously I hope that their present and future its and will be awesome. Well, to the point!
I travel with my class to the south (Villarrica to be specific), after the classes, the PSU and all of that. We, basically, live for a couple of days on a cabin (don’t worry, was more than a cabin) and in the morning and a couple of hours after the meal we stay on that cabins and we thought that we actually live there like a big family. One day, after swimming in the pool, we organize with a couple of friends to do pizza in my cabin. After do that, another friends enter to the cabin like mice. Then the complete group went to the cabin of another friends and we ate their food, finally we are all in the same place (like thirty people), enjoying the moment, laughing like crazy people, and basically we were happy because we were together. I hate that in that moment the space was too reduce, but in a lot of time we even didn’t notice that

Finally, I remember this meal because, although was not the best meal of all time and the most important, was one of the meals that I consider that my family was not only my parents and brothers… I have thirty people more that were my family.

A friend

I’m going to talk about a group of people that I consider like the craziest people on earth. On my school period, to be specific on 8°grade came new people on my class. One of them is one of my best friends. In my class there was always the bad idea of making groups of friends because I thought that in one way or another my entire class were not compatible so always they were fighting like little kids. Well, to the point. My group of friends were big… I feel that I don’t have a big problem to speak with people and to make new friends. But always when you have a lot of friends there are a small group of them that you consider like your true friends and my case my true friends are four, three girls and one boy. They are crazy and sadly for things of university and distance I don’t have a lot of time to stay with them. I know two of the girls since 6° grade, the other girl in 8¬ grade and the boy in 7°. We were so closed on the school period, when we have to make groups of work we did it together, we were so spontaneous in the way that we act and so funny at the same time that definitely I laugh and enjoy all the moments that we live together. I like them because I think that they see the life very similar to the way I see the life. We don’t fight with the other, we enjoy the time when we are together and after all we never lose the contact with the other.  I hope that during vacations we stay a lot of time together because I miss them a lot.

A Chilean Building or Landmark

When I came here to study I didn't know almost anything of Santiago. I felt like a tourist for weeks and the worst thing was that I came here a few days before the university period so I felt like a stranger all the time and the only place that I knew was university and my house.. A few weeks later when I started to make new friends I started to walk through the city either. My classmates knew about my situation so they helped me and recommend me beautiful places to visit in Santiago. One of their places was Juan XXIII in Ñuñoa and I fall in love so fast.I went with three Friends and two of them knew this place . Juan XXIII is almost unknow for people in general because it’s a Little bit far from the centre of the city  like 40 to 50 minutes in transantiago so for that reason when I went there the place was almost empty and it’s so sad that this happen here because the place it’s, from my point of view, one of the most beautiful and relaxing parks in Santiago (maybe i’m wrong, but you know… i’m a tourist).  This park it’s long and 90% of it is entire nature, it looks a Little bit old but maybe this is a complemento of it’s beauty. When i went there I walk a lot and then I sit on the grass and looked the sky. So, if anyone of you are totally stressed and want to escape a Little bit of the centre please go there.

another free post

The thing that I fell most passionate about it’s definitely cinema. It’s the most precious thing in terms of art (Yeah, I like the movies more than music and drawing). The reason is that I believe that a movie can change the way that you see a special thing. For example, a friend of mine saw a movie years ago and that movie impulse her to study medicine. I know, it’s sound crazy but a movie can make the difference on a person. From my point of view, a film can make you feel different emotions and it can combine different things on it. I mean, a film can contain pictures, music, dialogue, arts, expressions because the director want that you feel something and always you feel something with it. Maybe you feel boring, maybe you are scared or are simply sad because you saw the story from the eyes of the protagonist. Since I was a child I saw movies, my dad is a big fan of it so he impulse me to see different movies and I really felt grateful with him. All my life I dream with the idea of make a film o be part of any film because I think that is one of the things that endures through time. I think that I am a dreamer and one of my biggest dreams is combine architecture with movies. I really want to build cinemas through Chile because I think that, in present times, there are only a few of them and are very expensive so people preferred to wait and see movies on the internet. So that’s my passion and one of my biggest dreams.

A Holiday

Every year since I had fourteen years we go to Villarrica, Pucón and Lican Ray with my family. It’s like our family tradition and always we had new experiences and anecdotes to add to the list. We spend like four to six days there but we don’t lease a cabin or things like that. We camp close to the lake and we usually stay there the half of the day and the other part we walk through the town. I have to be sincere, I really remember everything of Villarrica, Pucon and Lican Ray but I enjoyed a lot this time because it’s probably the only time that I can shared with my family all together. Like I said before we have a lot of funny moments there, for example the time when we can’t enter to the car cause my sister let the keys inside and then we close all the doors. Or when we go fishing and my mother that doesn’t know anything about that caught a lot of fish. Or when we enter to the lake with an inflatable boat with my brothers and my father enter like a shark and sank the boat and then he started to go in the inflatable boat. Or when my mother sleep a lot in front of the lake and when she woke up she noticed that she seems like a tomato. Well, I enjoy a lot that moments, I laugh a lot and I hope that this year we can go there again.
