Learning English
I consider myself good at learning English because it's always been part of me, since elementary school. Remember the first English class, then I didn't know anything because in my old school didn't teach English. It was a very difficult transition, I felt stupid for so many time, I didn't know the colors, the animal, nothing at all. So I propose myself learn English anyhow to get the other kids. that was when I started to listen to English music and also saw some English series on TV. then in high school, I was some much better than my younger me and even better than my other classmates. Nowadays I continue to listening to English music and seeing some TV series almost without subtitles. but there are still some things that get in my way, I found that the English lessons in my school were always the same, with no way to really understand the language. they just taught me some words and how to put it in the right sentence. Here on the university, it was a little bit different because here they make me talk, listening and writing, things that I didn't do on the multiple choice that the school offered me.  But I still being a believer that the only way to learn a new language (skipping knowing some words and how to put it in the right sentence) it's going to a country where you could practice every day.
I think knowing English could take me to any place in the world, that way I may go to work in a different country and not die of starving jajaaja

Changes to my study programme
It's weird to talk about this because the recent study programme changed in 2016 (not many years ago) and hey! lucky me, my generation was the first to try.
many courses changed their name but still being the same thing. so if we are going to make some changes we must change the way how we are making the courses.
As an architecture student, I think the hours without sleeping are the same hours in the past, it's true we had a little fewer courses per semester but it doesn't change much.
Personally, I would like to have more courses outside the classroom, the career it's not to sit on a chair, listening to how the teacher speak about the city and not teach WITH the city.
Talking about infrastructure, we spend almost a month with a dead dove and a mouse big as a cat in our faculty, if something needs to change definitely infrastructure is one of these things.
If we see other faculties like Beauchef, Juan Gomez Millas or even our neighbor FEN we can see the standard of good infrastructure. 
We are like 1300 students (architecture) and it's growing each year, so we need to make some changes right now to avoid this university going to the garbage.
Just today I read the news and there's one in particular, it says that Universidad de Chile has like 25 suicide per year (students, teachers, functionary) if that's not bad enoughf for you, then you should go to the doctor.
good bye.

What is your opinion about the Chilean traditions?
I think that there's two kind of traditions, the bad one and the good one. A bad traditions would mean for example any tradition that envolve violence, disrespect to other person or animal, for example rodeo. In other side we find the good traditions that envolve care, tenderness and don't affect someone else life. but there's also some in between, like christmas, halloween, these traditions are invention of a economic model who get benefits by expend some money. but it also give happiness to the childrens world wide, so I really don't know how to classify this type of traditions. (I spoke about christmas and halloween, even they were not invented in chile, these are some traditions that chile accept from the other countries).

What is your opinion about tatoos?
I think tatoos are very cool but I wouldn't put one on my skin. I don't know, it's weird but I imagine my skin like some tissue that has to be natural and "perfect" till the end. and if I born without any tatoo I definitely coul'd die without any. I'm in love with the natural marks, like skin marks, freckles, scars, stretch marks, I found more atractive these marks than a tatoo

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in all cases?
Abortion should be free for anyone, whenever they want to do it. If someone, specially women, decided to not have childrens they could be able to end the pregnancy before the "baby" (because it's not a baby,yet.) born without being wanted. Rigth now there's so many people around the world, we don't need more humans to help to destroy the earth. we need to learn how to live before we bring new live into this world.

What is your opinion about "vertical ghettos"?
I had some lessons in FAU with a teacher that had a positive point of view on this topic and i'm agree with some of his arguments. there is a growing need for house in or near the center of Santiago, so these buildings appear to solve the problem. the bad things happen when in apartament for one or two people, we find almost like five or six people living in a small area, this cause the collapse on elevator, water,etc.
I'm not agree with small area even for one person, I think 17 m2 are not enough for someone, even if he only goes to sleep at night. Neither with the close that these buildins are to each other. but these aparments are allowed by the master plan, and  don't violates any law. so we need to change that first and then we can come up with a new model to solve the problem.

The city is always growing, but we started to torment the people who decided to live here. Maybe the ghettos were not created by the building but by our judgement.

pot and other subtances

when I was a child I was told that alcohol, marihuana, cigarettes and other subtances where not allow, that these things will turn you into a  criminal or something like that. but now with the passing years, now that I'm a little more of a independent thinker I got another vision of these things.

I still not knowing why alcohol and cigarettes are allow in our society but marihuana and other subtance (naural subtance) are not.

Ignoring that all of these subtance should be forbidden for child under the 18 years old. but for us, adults, people who can make their own decisions should not differentiate between drugs that are allowed and not allowed.

tho I should admit, I tasted alcohol when a was younger , only for fun but I didn't turn into anything bad, in fact it doesn't affect me in school or university so a vision of alcoholic or some kind of that, would be totally wrong. I think of me as a person who didn't drink too much, like my sister who drink beer every day. I only drink with my friends when we gathered in some house of one of us.

If we start talking about marihuana I don't have much to say about it. I've spend twenty years with out tasting it, only like one week ago I tasted for the first time, I didn't feel any diferent but my friends said that it was because it was my first time and that I was drinking too.

so that my experience so far with pot and other subtances.

now what would you thing about it?

Food.
there's diferent kind and types of Food that I prefer depending on the weather, but there's one that I never get tired of it... Pasta.
I think if I could marry with the pasta, I wouldn't doubt it not even for a second jajajaja and it's not only eat it but to cook it by myself.  A few times I went to "La piccola italia" and every time I go, end up disgusted. Don't know if it's the taste or if it's too much souce but every time I eat there got a soup instead of pasta.
Going back to cook my own pasta, every time that I cook my sister is there with me, she's vegetarian but i'm not so we always cook in different skillets except for vegetables like onions, peppers (red and green), chives, carrots and sometimes tomatoes. once the vegetables are ready we divide the mix and each one put their preference to complete de souce. I put cow meat and she puts soy meat then we add some garlic and oregano. once the pasta and the souce are ready we sit on our table and watch some tv show. obviously we drink some tea while we're eating, tea it's indispensable to share with my sister.
PS: I'll marry with pasta and sushi, but I never learn how to cook sushi so for now i'll stay serious with the pasta and having fun with the sushi jaja
what do you prefer?

My future job.
As an architecture student everyone would think that my future job is to be an architect but i have some diferent ideas to my future.
I think architecture would be the job to have some money to start my own company.
In chile architecture is not one of the most request career , people dont hires an architec to design their houses, they  just build them. so my future job would be design furnitures or became a painter. a job thar don't need a large amount of money to do it.
Of course I hope to design some houses or some buildings, I really love architecture but I think in chile you can't not only live being an architec.
I know it sounds weird, being a student of architecture and not want to be an architec but I believe I'm being realistic.
I imagen myself living out of the city with my own design house, working in my studio. drinking tea thinking on how to solve a design. it could be a table, it could be a house, it could be anything but the thing that I want to do it's CREATE.
hoping not sound too weird for you, I´ll be waiting for your comments
see you :)

Feminism.
let´s talk about it.
It's not just a random topic. It's not a crazy idea that a single woman want to share with us. It's where the world, and mostly men have to go, to make some changes in our society.
Nowadays men has a lot more benefits that women. some of them related to work, salary or just walk down the sreet safe. also when it comes to decisions, women don't usually get to notice by men.
WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT.

 They have rights to live how they want to live, do what ever they want to do, what to think, what to say, have kids, abort, work in whatever specialty they want to cover, and JUST LIVE.

In the beggining, I was unwilling to believe in feminism cause I believed that feminism didn't fight for equal rights. but it wasn't what feminism should be. Feminism it's a movement for women to women. As a man it was hard to understand that, but my sister helped me to do it.
These days I consider myself as a feminist ally. Trying to do the best that I can, and trying to learn more and more about it, cause it's the only way to start the change that we want.

Learning English I consider myself good at learning English because it's always been part of me, since elementary school. Remember the ...
