Changes To My Study Programme

We all know that our ICEI's institute always has necessities like computer or radio classroom, teachers for difficult subject, books, cameras, a recorder voice or anything else. And not just that, to be honest, with the step of years one can see the multiple lacks that our career have and, more that simple empties, also there are a problems with the organization of the materials and classes.

In first place, always there are some problem when one want to reserve devices, specially when all of the students have the evaluation, finale tests or marks at same week. Faced with this, there is a whole chaos or confusion when the reserves run out and the equipment is insufficient. In that sense, I propose that the assessments be made interspersed by each section of the same course in different weeks. It is the healthiest thing to avoid collapse.

Another problem that is usual, and I think it is inevitable when one is already in the third and fourth year, it is the schedule of classes. The subjects are demanding more and more hours and the availability of teachers makes in one day, we have classes from 8 at morning to 8 at night. Bearing in mind that the next day we have courses that are still demanding. Could not they better distribute schedules considering our days off?

At least one thing to note is that thanks to the accreditation, the concern for better furniture has made us have more voice recorders, chairs and tables to work with, among other resources I hope that in the next two Years serve so much for what is left of the road.

My last summer holidays

Hello guys, how are you? I know that all of us are stressed with ending year activities but, I want you invite to talk about a topic that in the future can be very cool, if you take all the possibilities to go to places, eat exquisite food or just relaxing: the summer holidays.

In my case, I have the privilege that living in a place where a perfect touristic destiny is: Vicuña, Elqui’s Valley. And I must confess that there are some places that I went when I was a child and I really like to come back to visit it, like the Turbio River near to Paihuano, there is a big with cold water origin it from the mountains. 

Also I would like to visit again, Paihuano, Pisco Elqui, town that have one of principal pisquero’s houses and Monte Grande, place where the Gabriela Mistral’s rest are.  And even can be more far way and arrive to the little town of Cochiguaz. Besides, I can’t miss the opportunity to go to the beach and know new beaches like Totoralillo or Tongoy. 

The problem here is that I never can found a friend with time to go with me. Always are busy or just they leave whit our own families. So, my goal is to check with can join me in a little adventure for encounter with my childhood, because, this will be the last year that I´ll have vacations before to enter in some professional practices.  

If you partners want to go Elqui’s Valley in my house always there will a room vacancy.

Cheers!  

The worst decision I've ever made

I do not know if that decision has been the worst I have taken so far, but it is the freshest that is kept in the memory.

I must confess that I am extremely restrictive in terms of purchases. I always have little money and I try to take care of it as much as possible. However, sometimes the opposite happens and I end up spending too much.

In June of this year, I put together money to buy a Smartphone that I chose because its features were acceptable for the price I had. Today, as technology advances three steps every two seconds, the price devalued a lot, and not only that, but the performance of that device.

First, it was the battery, for me it is paramount that it works all day without charging it, if it does not happen in this device. The touch screen has also gone wrong and to my regret, the Smatphone dropped me and its screen was completely broken.

I think the last one I did because sincerely, I was already filling my patience. Now I can only wait to fix the screen. One month, I hope.

I just hope this does not get worse. I already made a bad decision.

Cheers!

One of my challenges...

I must to confess that I never think in the future, but sometimes, there aren’t afraid when one use the imagination and dream about you labor future, because not it’s just work , but that in myself there are a vocation, a passion.

Are you watching the TV series “The Newsroom”? Is awesome, above why in the series, it did portray the truly success in a newsroom and I always wonder if there will be a possibility for do the same, feel the same?

In Spain, the Universidad Autónoma de España and the influential newspaper “El País” make them a master in Journalism for two years with paid trainees in media communication of PRISA Group. The objective of this course it does learn doing all aspects of Journalism. From to the basics topics like chronicles of news reports, until how to do a media company.

I admit that is very repetitive with I learn it here, but the especial in this course is that you won’t go to chairs in a classroom and see how a professor display it a large explanation about a topic, but  that in every class, the students practice in the newspaper’s newsroom  while learning it the topic.

I would like really meet other realities and acquire new experiences in a place where journalism is best valued and expansive, but to know, as it is inserted in a culture where there is a need for information.

Regards all us!

What can do with my job?

I’m still in a discussion with myself about what is what I want to do with my career (Journalism). I have always thought that I have two ways for job in the future. The first option would be decide an administrative or bureaucratic job and my second option could be "left out my feet on the sidewalk”, but what do I mean? I will explain you next.

According to the first option, I could work in state or private institutions, companies, foundations or non-governmental organizations, making the “press” refer to those organisms, publishing the actions in relation to public opinion and show like it’s could influence with are happening  in our country. The advantages for me is that I would be in a delimited work, focus in an organization and with a safe labor (I hope so), but the disadvantages would be that I wouldn’t have any action. I imagine the work like me in an office without surprises

In the second option would be the classic Journalism. Work in a newsroom of TV, radio, press, internet platform and so. Feel the ecstasy about report the news in the moment, in place of the facts, in the streets, in lonely place where there were floods, landslides, avalanches, forest fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and so. The elections, the social movements, strikes and all that can change our reality. I feel exited for that and am there, but that means a sacrifice to my life. To be in a newsroom large hours, covering turns, making other duties that you don’t know, but you must do, waiting for happen something and not happen anything finally…

I would like an answer, because must be soon, very soon!! (You know!)

Best regards!

Dream a little dream about intolerate people

This was a dream that I never forget it. In that had trips, persecutions, kidnappings, fire, and terrorist. Like almost all my dreams, never have any logic and this not its’s the exception.

Everything begin when I was very sad and angry, because I was upset with a friend and to not discuss, I didn’t prefer talk with him and I feel sleep. The result was an awesome adventure.

I was traveling from Vicuña (place where I lived until I arrived her in Santiago) to La Serena get on bus. Everything it’s go ok, but the bus only would arrive till to the south of Vallenar, city of third region. The issue is that all passengers coach it was furious, because the bus not stop in La Serena, and the people screamed and said “why don’t stop the dammed bus!”.

But suddenly, we all passengers (include me) were with our torn clothes, blindfold, like we been in the war. Honestly, a truly militaries. All this scene is complete with us in a bonfire and in the middle of it, was the bus driver tied to a stick (poor guy). And one passengers with an attitude military said: “we don´t let intimidate for a muslin guy that want it catch us!”.

When I wake up I’m laugh out loud (hHAHahHAHah), because nothing I´m my dream has sense and it could take me the temper that I’d have.

Thanks for read me J

Regards!

Always shock me Black Mirror!

Hello everyone, how are you? I hope so fine and today I will write about one of my preferred theme: the TV series. Last year in this same exercise I wrote about my favorite TV series, but today we will go beyond and I’ll speak about one of my preferred scene from my series, in special about Black Mirror.

Black Mirror is a British TV series that develop speculative fiction with dark and satirical themes that examines our society with relation between it and the new technologies and the unanticipated consequences that can be in the future. This series has three seasons.

Yes, he really did it

I only have watched the first and second season that have 3 episodes each one and a Christmas special. From all of them episodes, I´m left with the first episode, called “The National Anthem”, and above, with the scene where the fictional first minister of Great Britain decided have sex with a pig to rescue from of kidnapping to the (again) a fictional British princess. In the scene, the “premier” is now being broadcaster on the internet, for a worldwide audience, while happen this, people in hospital, Jobs and so, are watching it the acct and, although reject it that, are watch is continue watching it.

very morbid!

To the final of episode, the princess is released and left her in a bridge 20 minutes before the broadcasting begins.

Poor princess

The message of Black Mirror in that and all episodes is the same: don’t let that new technologies control us but also we must take consciousness about our reality and not only the virtual reality.

like if that only matter it

I hope soon watch the new six episodes and surprised me about upcoming?

Cheers!

Oh My Vacations!

Hello guys

The topic that I will write should be about “My favorite Holydays/vacation”, but the issue is that I only have this trip like the single one. However, it doesn’t not mean it was bored. It was amazing!

VERY WET OH MY GOD

As you already know (I wrote it last blog), I traveled to the Foz do Iguazú city, that is between three countries Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. But that not is the unique place. In this city we can meet the Iguazú Waterfalls, the Birds Zoo, the Itaipu Reservoir and, as it’s near to Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, you can visit it and buy products from across the world very cheap.

Ciudad del Este :O

One the funny highlights of this trip was when all of us (my trip partners), was in a restaurant with live music (obviously multiple version of samba) and a genuine carnival, but reduced in a small stage. Whatever, even one mate dance on the stage. That was a special night. Thanks for the Caipiriña J.

The Tucans

Sometimes I think in that trip was very wonderful as well as for the places visited such as to resolve some doubts concerning to my goals. Each sunset give me peace and relax, the clean landscapes was a opportunity to feel me connect with me and the place.

Very charming

If you asked me if I would come back to the someplace, I never doubt it. 

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

I was here!!!!! and I wet

I was in that country five years ago. It was raining when I arrived to Iguazú city in Brazil. I always had thought that the sun would be the star. Sometimes I wonder if I would like to come back to the same place, but other part of me says that I must taste inside of Brazil and not only stay with the waterfalls, the birds zoo and the Itaipu reservoir. Maybe repeat, but not the same.

Copacabana Beach

Brazil is the largest country in Southamerica and live more of 204 millions people. The most of population it´s concentrastes in the cities of the coast, like Río of Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte, places that are so many visited by tourist, to enjoy the beaches, caipiriñas, and so. But I want to be a uncommon turist.







It's known that the ecosystem in Brazil it’s so importante. In fact, "The Amazons" it's qualified like the most “green lung” in the earth, due to the fauna and flora and above all to the Amazons River, that is the most mighty river in the world and the touristic interest it's so minimal.

¿So large :O

Do you imagine a trip in middle on the river seeing the anacondas? That is I like. Is crazy but fascinating. Also I would like be in the dates where there are carnivals, like in the city of Manaos that each season two schools face to be the best. The incessant party that never ending. As well, I´m curious with the true habitants of Amazons, far away of crossbreed people, What costums, rites, can hide?

To finish, I don’t want say that I hate Iguazú, I loved it, nevertheless I think that is necessarily go to other side of this beautiful and mistery country. So near and so far away at the same time.
