Being A Fake Irish

Good Afternoon. I'm almost fully recovered. I can't be completely healthy cause of the horrible burocracy present in journalism, it's hard to come to terms with. But well, Here we are giving it the last effort. There are a lot of things that need to change in ICEI. First: the "teachers". There are good ones, really pacient ones, they have a good teaching methods, respect their students, etc. But there other teachers who are sexist, indifferent, bad at teaching, arrogants and overall bad people, they do an awful job and receive a good salary. Second: the standingpoint, the perspective. ICEI have a anachronistic perspective, Here still teaching us the new journalism with its standard, Gabriel García Márquez. There are not much interest in teaching us about data journalism. I don't know that they (ICEI executives) don't know that where are the money is in data journalism, an unfinished field. Third: Electivos de Formación Básica. The good trades are m...

Hi, good afternoon. That question is really difficult, it's complex, i haven't thought of that cause i'm worried about other things, things than don't allow me to relax and plan this year’s holiday trip. I can talk about what i did on previous years, but this one? I don't have even the slightest idea. To top it all off, my vacations start in January 15th. That means that i won't be relaxed enough to plan my vacations calmly and without pressure as i like to do. I’m fed up with this University, extremely tired of people’s  mediocrity and hypocrisy, I'm also tired of the absurd and badly planned academic charge proposed by this Institute. Among the things i’d like to do this summer, is travelling, that's a must, I would like to go from Quintero to San Antonio, maybe wait till a friend offers his summer house or maybe a cabin in a quiet and hard to reach place. And here in Santiago, i’d like to skateboard, spend a lot of time doing it and hop...

I have a little problem, I don't enjoy reading, because I preffer to do other things, like watching movies or painting portraits, I also play videogames, but the main reason is because I have a lot to study. In fact, I also don't have a favourite kind of books because I've only read  a few books, so it's hard to identify one. However, during the feminist strike and toma (when a group of people take possesion of a private building during a strike), after two attempts, i could read 'Generation X', written by Douglas Coupland. I enjoyed it from  start to finish; a great story about the '90s youth. The protagonists, Dag, Claire and Andy are over 25 years old and still they don't know what they will do with their future. Neither of them like their families, for this reason they escaped to the desert, specifically in Palm Springs, where they could see San Andreas fault landscape. The last book I read was named 'Les Enfant de Dublin' written by Jean Cla...

There was a time in 2015 when i had a vocational crisis, (I even  thought about leaving this career), these careers were brought to my attention: Arts, Architecture, Graphic Design, Politics, Zoology, Latin American Studies, Arabian Studies, Geography, and maybe after, a PhD in any of these degrees or learn German, Dutch or Irish Gaelic languages. Any place to study?: In Chile, University of Chile or University of Santiago. Out of Chile, any of the greatest universities in Germany, Netherlands or Ireland. In Latin America, Uruguay could be a good place. I don't like the E-learning (distance learning), because i feel that you don't have the campus experience. Specially, I would like to study in a normal schedule, like currently, not part-time or whatever its name is. However, the only way to do this, is if you're a millionaire, because the universities in Chile or Europe are very expensive. Besides, when you are graduated, you can't submit to grants. In fact, I'm s...

Three years ago, when I entered to study journalism, I did it because I wanted to be a sports commentator, going to Olympics Games or FIFA World Cup (I loved football [soccer]). But, the years came by, and I concluded that this job is VERY DISRESPECTFUL. And football is too. This change became "my disenchantment age" or so to speak, I said to myself: "When I graduate, I'll sell skate shoes in Vans, or other shops with the same style". I didn't know what to do. I thought that the future was unsure, unknown. In fact, until the last year, I didn't see anything. I couldn't see myself  in five years, I didn't have anything. However, I was relatively happy Fortunately, during this year, I see myself working in something concrete: Cameraman. All thanks to some friends in the fifth year (of Journalism) and RadioJGM. But, as cameraman, i don't have future projects or future travels. Side note; I'm studying journalism, and I don't like it. It...

I have two favourite foods: Pastel de Choclo and chickpeas with longaniza. This summer my mother taught me  the preparation of Pastel de Choclo. Of course, i ate a lot of this, in fact,  I carried Pastel de Choclo to my (actual ex) girlfriend and atet together while we watched TV series. It's nostalgic. Until recently, i didn't like cooking because i thought that was ridiculous "lose a lot of time and eat about ten minutes". However, now that I'm living alone, I’ve had time to cook: I learnt to cook rice with peas boiled simultaneously and a drop of linseed. The food that i usually eat in university, are currently  vegetarian foods, like soy burgers and vegetarian empanadas (that contain quinoa and mushrooms). Any favourite restaurant? I believe that Fuente Mardoqueo is a good restaurant, specialized in sandwiches with different types of barbecued steaks. Another place is Insert Coin . Its drinks are very good: refined, exotic and original. And also y...
