The 7th Element

 Years ago, I thought that I was obliged to pass English or I would have to pay another year of university (which is still like this), but I have felt more confident, relax and comfortable in that sense because the English classes have been pleasant and easy to take for me. The blogs can take a long time to build, but I love to write and I have met my classmates in a deeper way, especially when the only way to access them (with online classes) is through blogs, or group dynamics in classes. The aspects in english that I must continue working on are pronunciation and fluency when I am speaking, because I've only practiced pronunciation in classes and fluency is difficult for me because I think about many things at the same time and sometimes I end up stumbling or not saying what I wanted exactly, but I think that if I practice more conversation with a friend (who studied translation) I could improve. I definitely use English more now than before. I can see some videos on YouTube tha...

 Throughout these years in college I have thought about all the things that need to be changed. For example, there are mandatory non-art elective classes that are taken in order of enrollment, but art students are allowed to enroll last, so we always take what no one wanted to take. If I could, I would replace it with practice activities where students are admitted to museums and galleries, and thus they can enter that field when they graduate from the career.  I believe, on the other hand, that the academic workload  and lenght of studies is fine, and in that sense I wouldn't change anything.  The infrastructure has always been a problem and in fact there have been student mobilizations in this regard, since all the ceilings of the art faculty are built with a material that causes cancer and which is also illegal to use now. So I would definitely change the rector, who promised to change the roofs and has done nothing about it in two years.  If we talk about te...

  As the end of my degree approaches, I am more indecisive about what I will do next. But if I had the opportunity to study what I wanted, I would like to take a doctorate in philosophy, with a major in aesthetics and new digital media. Although of course, to access to it, you should have at least a master's degree. The magister in that case, can be the same topic of investigation, new media or contemporary art. The reason why I am interested in doing this doctorate sometime when I have money saved, is that throughout the plastic arts career, the most entertaining classes I had were taught by professors who had done this doctorate. I would like to take a program taught by the University of Chile, since I find it interesting, it also has the advantage of being relatively close to my house where my mother and sister are living. I am a person who cares a lot about the family, so I couldn't do it abroad, but if the classes were online I would change my mind. It would be great to ha...
