I've failed to myself

WELCOME TO MY REQUIEM If I have improved something is my own way of going to classes because the one thing I want from this subject is to approve. At the start of the semester I was in an enormous existencialist trouble and one part of the problem was that I was living in Melipilla, far far away. It was very complicated to take the bus, the two hours of travel a day was exhausting. And well,  that easily meant four absences. Besides, I am working for RadioJGM during thursdays. I'm the cameraman of a TV program named "Cajita de Música". That meant three or four more absences. In fact, my absences prove my interest in the english class is non-existent. I just wanna approve. The english class had funny moments like talking about Pearl Jam, Trainspotting or Ireland and its meadows but in general, it isn't inspirational. When I registered myself in this class, I did it for one reason: "salir del cacho". But I look at my assistance and I feel that I failed. Besi...

ICEI in a nutshell

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...

Summer isn't only a name

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...

My favourite book

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...
