POST 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

More history, less audiovisual language! 

Actually, this is a very important subject because in my university this year was implemented a new curriculum study. But sadly, my classmates and I will not be able to take the courses of the new curriculum, because it is just for the freshmen.

If I would have the opportunity to change my study program I would add universal history, it is never too late to learn about history, and like I said earlier in others post, I really like History, in fact, before ICEI I wanted to become a history teacher. I would also add more body expression. We already have this, but I would add more hours, because it is really helpful for everyone.

And maybe I would take off some classes like "Audio visual language", and "Mass culture and cultural industry".

Right now I'm taking Television, radio, and some cultural courses, that are shared whit the people of "Cinema and Television". My favorite subject of this semester in "Cultural Studies", because it is the first course of this topic that I learn something that I find useful.

The facilities of the "Institute of communication and image", are not so good to me, because every year the alumni increase but not the classrooms or the equipments that we use.

I'm not very happy with some teacher's methods, because they do not have a program, they just improvise the classes, and they never say to the students what they are going to evaluate. But I do not want to be unfaithful, there are others who are just great!

Bye!

POST 8: SUMMER HOLIDAYS

I need vacations!  

Hello everyone, December

and the summer are here, but not my vacations. Because of the strike we have classes till January, but I know that you already know that. We all are in the same position. This week, the warmest of the year, I can’t stop thinking on the beach. 

I don’t have any plans for this summer, but I can’t wait any longer for the vacations arrive! I would love to go to the beach, that is my favourite place in the whole world. My grandpa has a house on Cartagena, I will go there, like every year, to be with him and rest. 

I also would like to go to another beach with my friends. One of them has a house in Laguna Verde, Valparaíso region, so maybe this summer she will invite me hahaha. She promised me months ago. 

I would love to have more money, that way my parents and I could go to somewhere nice. Like to the south or the north. I've always wanted to go to Bahía Inglesa, my dad says that is beautiful, but we couldn’t go because we don’t have money, and my dad have to work all summer. 

When I have a job, with my salary I’ll take my parent to a nice holiday, but in the meantime I have to stay here, in Santiago, imagining a cool place to go vacation. At least I have a little swimming pool that we put in the backyard, so I won’t die because of the heat.  

See you next week! 

POST 7: FILMS

Something that I love: Movies! 

Hi everybody, today we have to talk about films, and I can’t deny that this is my favorite topic. I absolutely love watch movies, in the summer I can watch like three films in one day.  Actually, even in this season of the year I find a little time to watch movies, the last film that I saw was “Kubo and the two strings”, an animated film about a boy with magical powers, and “Fantastic beast and where to find them”. 

I’ve saw so many films that I can’t count them, but I think the best movie I’ve seen this year was “The Revenant”.  Is a really really good film, and if you don’t see it yet, go and watch it, beside Leonardo DiCaprio is in it, what better? Haha

My all time favorite movie is “Before Sunrise” (like the link of my blog). Is from 1999 and was directed by Richard Linklater (who also directed Boyhood). "Before Sunrise" is about two strangers, an American boy and a French girl, they firt met on the train. They decided walk around Vienna, and in the meantime they fell in love, but they have to say goodbye before sunrise, because the boy have to go on the airport to go back America. 

Is starred by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. I love this movie because is so simple in structure but so deep in arguments. Two young people who discuss the world problems and know each other in one day, is just fantastic. I watched this movie like five times, because is romantic, but not silly!

I totally recommend it for everyone who enjoys a good movie; this film is not just for girls. Also I recommend the sequels “Before sunset”, and “Before midnight”.

A movie that I would love to see again is “Rust and bone”, a French film starred by Matthias Schoenaerts and Marion Cotillard, so deep and beautiful, and whit a big message for the audience. I totally recommend it, go and watch it! 

See you next week!
