Things that I propose to change at my university

I study Plastics Arts in the Universidad de Chile, in the faculty of Las Encinas. I love my career but I feel that can be better in somethings, for example, I like the curriculum, but I have many workshops that are very interesting and I, which I can learn a lot, the problem is that you cannot take all of them. Also, the curriculum has changed and now the first- years students have another. A suggestion to be able to take the workshop that I want, from the new or the old curriculum. All this with a credit system.

The faculty is in a bad state, it is raining, it doesn’t have enough seats and tables and they even say that the roof has asbestos, among other things that make our studies difficult. In my opinion, a correct infrastructure is fundamental for our development as artist, so, I think they should invest more money for this area.

Another thing I believe that is very important are the teachings methods, as far as I am concerned each teacher has different methods, there are some that I like a lot and others that I don’t agree whit them, and I’m not interested in. The way I see it, we should know the teachers methods before choosing the subjects, so that we can choose what kind of teaching I want to my future.

 

The song that makes me travel

“Any colour you like” of pink Floyd from “the dark side of the moon” album, is one of my favorite song, I have very good memories with this song, and every time I hear it, I travel to another world or another dimension. One of the best memories that I have with this song, was when we went camping with some very good friends in “El cajón del maipo”. I remember that at night after being all day bathing in the river, we made a fire and began to have fun, and we thought about going for walk at night to look at the stars, so when we went we put this record on while we were walking, and the stars look beautiful, and right in this song many 

shooting stars passed by and just like the song says, we started to see colors, any colour we liked. I keep this memory as one of the most beautiful ones, it is one of the moments in which I have felt very happy with very little. I felt a lot of love and I will always keep this memory in my heart.

 My pretty puppy Kiara

When I was child I always wanted a puppy, but we never adopted one because my parent’s didn´t want. Therefore, when they got divorced in 2004 when I was 8 years old, my mom adopted my first pet, Kiara, and I became a dog lover. She was a very beautiful puppy and changed my life. I love her, and I think she came to save me, in fact I tell her that she is my therapist dog, she always there for me and gives me her energy and love.

I think that the pets come into our lives to take care and change us lives. It is said that dogs know what people feel and absorb bad vibes.

Now my puppy is 16 years old and she´s fine to being so old, she plays, runs and is very happy. We say that she is a jovial dog although lately has had problems with her bones, her legs bend and sometimes she falls and hit herself. That makes me very sad because I can see how he has aged and that he does not have much more time with us. I wish it was eternal.
