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 Claude Alain. This fiction story is about  Ireland’s Independence. However, I've just read the first chapter so far, when Eamon runs to Dublín to enlist for the  Independence war. This story is inspired by the people that fought between 1919 and 1922, who got achieved Ireland’s Independence.

Despite the fact that I haven´t finished the book, I recommend it a lot. I'm excited for this and I’ve only  read one chapter. I hope that this semester finishes  soon.

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...

Speaking About Dish and Cooking

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...

Postgraduate or Another Career?

Imagen
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...
