English Language Challenges

English at university was a complication in my life due to the fact that I had to do it compulsively and the little commitment I had with it. Generally, during my time at school I only studied for tests and did not develop this language anymore. Usually, I was doing well since the level of demand was not as high as it should be. The use of blogs helped me to keep up with the need to be constantly writing, maybe if we had more freedom added to more blogs we could drop the pen a bit more. And maybe in that way I could maintain a good level of English constantly without having to backtrack what I learned at the end of the year. Despite the difficulties I had in English I do not feel that it can be a complication once I continue practising it. I know it’s a matter of hard work but I am certain that when I need to use it I will be able to demonstrate my knowledge. My biggest weakness is speaking in English for the fact that I find it hard to think things in English and I also g...

My Studies Programme

Journalism at the University of Chile is one of the races with the most deficiencies within the same university or the same campus. Although, the ICEI is in a quite accessible place, its little ability to gather people is known. This occurs because it is a building in the shape of a department that has no meeting spaces other than the casino or the library. It is almost a crossing. Within the mesh that I had to study there were mirror subjects in which we studied communication theories for three or four years, leaving little room for the practical development of journalism. During my years of studies I would have liked to have more journalism in the field, something to be able to live the reality of Chilean journalists and not stay in the mere theory. Another unfavorable point is the little technological capacity that the university had when I joined, my first camera that I used needed tapes!  However, modernization has reached the ICEI slowly but in the end it arrived. I ...

Summer Vacation

My plans aren’t ambitious at all. I just would like to go to the beach and have a nice time with my family and friends. Considering this is my last vacation till I go deep into the adults life, I want to have fun before those never ending busy days of journalism begins.  Feel the cold water in my feet under a hot sun, eat some food and having some laughs, drink beer and dance till dawn, meet new people in the way, and why not, have a little affair with a local girl in the place. I want to disconnect from the big city life and all that pollution. Maybe even drop the phone for a while, having the experiences that my fathers had when they were young, doing the same things that they did that we, the new generation, are missing because of the irruption of the internet. Messages, notifications, pictures, likes and comments; maybe all that stuff is not that relevant and I will be able to find happiness in things the beach can offer to me.  Also I want to de-stress and leave b...

At the end of my first year in the university, my generation had an idea to realize a big party in the house from one of my classmates. In all human groups exists differences and problems, in this opportunity that was no exception. However, we could do the party; in this party were gathered different types of people, people who had never shared despite having studied for a year. The location for this party was a little house of Santiago, specifically in La Florida. This house has a pool and two environments. When I arrived to the party my friends were a little drunk, I buy a juice because at that moment I don't drink alcohol. The party went on normally until nightfall and alcohol began to wreak havoc on the behaviour of my classmates. Some danced, others talked until we decided jump to the pool at 3 am; in this crazy moment it broke loose. One of my classmates in a fit of stupidity, He spanked to the landlady and She hit it for his disrespect. This situation caused that t...
