final post

Hi everyone, this is my last blog and I will talk about my experience learning English and my relationship with it.

First at all, I have to say I like the idioms very much in general and how the English was the first different idiom I learnt, it was a big adventure learnt it. I think the English in the university is misunderstood, it is a powerful tool for us and not just when we’ll in another country but talk with foreign people or to read texts in the idiom.

In respect of my level of English, I think I must to improve my oral interactions because I know that I know English, but it’s shame for me to speak it just because I don’t practice it a lot. Actually, I just use my English to hear songs, films, series and that kind of things, I read a little when someone ask me for a translation. But this semester, with some friends, decided to make the Wednesday a “English day”, we try to talk as long as we can in English, but it don’t work at all because we finish the day just joking with it. Although, it’s a beginning.

I wish that in a future I’ll have the possibility to live outside the country, maybe in New Zealand or Ireland or Italy or Germany, and work in these countries, make a good life, I don’t know, I’m still so young. But I dream to settle in other country and travel a lot. I wish I can make my dreams come true.

my career's curriculum

Hi guys, today I will talk about the curriculum of my career. It’s very important because it defines the kind of professional that we are and our professional future.

Firstly, the curriculum is so focused on the building, it’s all about the building, the landscape is not so important and the theory is almost nothing next to the building, I think the things are like this because “an architect is who construct something and if you don’t construct anything in you life, then you are not an architect”. Maybe it is the reason because workshop it all in the career for everyone.

Secondly, the new curriculum has things that academics didn’t think like the amount of quotas in the electives, the electives itself (some courses are exactly the same in the old curriculum and they change the curriculum to renovate all the courses, but, in the practice, it didn’t work), like the work practice, this semester we have to take “work practices” and it was just work with other programs inside the workshops and with the same project.

A very important thing is that we are taking the specialty courses that the want us to take, I’m referring they offer us a lot of courses about construction and history, but they didn’t think in the people that wants to follow the landscape line. I know a lot of people that are saying “I am in the wrong university, here are not courses that I want”

Finally, the faculty don’t have the recurses to accommodate all the students, so we have to be where we fit in.

my opinions

What is your opinion about "vertical ghettos"?

I think the vertical ghettos are ethically very bad because it’s no normal for the body live in a 40 floor. The gutters are exceeding of water in winter because they are no designed to support that volume of water, adding the rain water too. The people that live here need more and more elevators, and in 5 years the elevators will not support all the people, I know it because I live in a vertical ghetto.

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in all cases?

The abort it’s a way for the women to become more independent. I am not referring it just independent of man, but the child too. There are women that are not been to be a mother or not in that moment. Also, you can’t trust just in the contraceptive methods, it doesn’t have a 100% of effectiveness and these always have accumulative secondary effects in your body. As well, I know it for self-experience. The most important is I want to have a child when my conditions allows me.

What is your opinion about contraception?

Following with above, of course I don’t want to abort every time I get pregnant. It has very bad effects in your body and it must to be used when you have no more options. Because of this, these methods exist (thanks the medicine and not God, he doesn’t invent it) and I can control my cycle. But, like anything, it has very bad second effects in the body.

What is your opinion about tattoos?

Tattoos are a kind of human expression. You can’t just prohibit it. Unfortunately, it has so many bad prejudges but it are all a social construction. To have more or less or none tattoo don’t prove how the person is, how a person can do some job, or if she/he is sympathetic or anything. A few times ago I applied for a job and they didn’t accept me for my only and small tattoo ☹

pot

Hi everyone. Today I will talk about a drug I consider the less harmful compared with cigarettes, alcohol, between others. I will talk about pot. It has a very special significate for me because it helps my grandmother when she was very sick.

My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2013. It was devastating for all the family. At the beginning my mother and aunts didn’t want to tell my grandmother that she was sick, a terminal sickness, she cannot receive treatment because her age, she was 80 years old. But they had to tell her sooner or later and she get depressed, a deep depression, she had not been able to see her grandchild grow and much less to see her great grandsons grow (she had 5 great grandsons at this time)

We start to go all days to her house, we didn’t want to she felt alone, but finally comes the day her pain was so much, there was no cure or analgesic or anything else to her pain, so my uncle proposed to try with other kind of things, natural things. We didn’t have something to lose so my mother and uncles decided to try with marihuana teas. My grandmother never knew what it was, “it’s just a natural tea, a special tea” they said to her. And it works so well, my grandmother felt less pain and she start to feel less depressed, all with an acceptance thought that we cannot change anything, there is no thing to do with it.

All was so difficult and sad, but the pot really helps my grandmother to deal with the cancer and I appreciate it so much, she had less pain that she could have.

post graduate studies

Hi everyone!! Today I will talk about the post graduate studies that I want to do. But, actually, it’s just a wish, there is nothing written yet.

The only reason I stayed in this career it’s for the history and the architectural patrimony. Here is nothing more for me. This topic it’s very strong for me and I can dream to grown professionally in this line. It’s so important for me that now I’m applying for an exchange in Italy to take specialized courses about architectural restoration.

In the future, I wish I can do a master and a PhD jajaja sounds so rare, but I want it a lot, of course I don’t know in what area or country or university, but I have the intention. All of this is because I want to be an academic and researcher, and maybe a teacher and have the opportunity to share my knowledge.

To work in another country is the mayor objective to study all that I’m proposing to me to do. Finding a better life in a better country. For my lucky I’m not with CAE, but nether with “gratuidad”, I just have a university scholarship that pays most of the fee and my father pays the rest, for his lucky, it’s not much. In resume, I will not have a debt when I complete the career.

food

Hi bloggers, today I will talk about something I love, FOOD!!!

Actually, I love to eat food jajaja I mean, I love more to eat than to cook. I have some of my famous recipes that my family and friends love and ask me to cook it. I enjoy cooking but something I hate the most is to wash the dishes. When I cook with my boyfriend, we make a deal: I cook, he washes. The same is with my family: I cook and then we divide the dishes for wash. I have to say, my specialty are the pancakes and the sauces of the noodles, any sauces, with meat, with vegetables, with tuna, etc.

Talking about the thing I love more, to eat, I love to eat peperoni pizza, before anything else, and I feel guilty, this is the only reason because I can’t be vegetarian. Also, I love the pasta, any pasta, lasagna, noodles, gnocchi, ravioli, cannelloni, etc. The tomato sauce it’s the best part of the pasta, adding the cheddar cheese, it becomes the best thing in the whole world!! My father loves to go to the piccola Italia in his birthday. Always we order lasagna and gnocchi, he loves the pasta too, but he isn’t a good cooker jajaja, he tries, but most of the time he fail.

my dream job

Hi everyone. Today I will talk about my dream job, but I don’t know exactly which is, but I will try anyway.

I think my dream job is do something in a cruise just because I will be able to travel and make my money at the same time. Also, I will be able to know a lot of people and from so many ways.

All started when I followed a circus artist at Instagram, I saw all her pictures in so many different countries and sometimes she carried her parents in the cruise to be with them.

I don’t really think that it possible for me, but I can dream jajaja. I don’t know how much money you can gain working in a cruise, but the experience you get in all the travels must be incomparable with any other experience you get in another job.

I know this people don’t have a static house, maybe some of them lives with they parents when the are not traveling, and I know they maybe don’t have sons or pets or something that depends on you, but I don’t think that like an obstacle to work on that and travel around the world.
