English language Challenges

Well, this year was very short and too strong the English's experience has been interesting and very stressfull, yes I get so nervous when I have to speak in English, I see myself so stupid when I trying to speak something.
I need to improve my English's abilities in general. The most important is: how I can to think in English? and to improve the measurable skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, I must to be constant (that is the problem) I need to practice in a real situation not in a laboratory where all is controlled I think. I need real contact with native speakers and real problems and to learn to understand the most difficult in English: phrasal verbs. I must to make a plan to improve my English significantly, I need to search somebody for to practice day to day for to speak naturally (is like to play a guitar).
Regardless, the English experience at the Uni. was very interesting, I really like to write for to practice the writing skills, but we need more focused classes for to put on practice the other macro skills I miss the listening classes and the grammar and we need more group dynamics.
Nowadays I feel that I use English for nothing in special...
In conclusion we need more hours per week, to change the dynamics for to improve the experience (the redundant makes boring classes and reduces the learning) and to change the class schedule (on Saturdays by example) because 18:30 is the worst time for to learn.

This year: up and down

In this entry I’m going to talk about “THIS YEAR”.


This year has been a bit weird how Sinatra said “I have been up and down”,

This is my last year (I hope) learning fine art photography at University of Chile and I feel that it was too short (seems like 4 years are nothing). In general I’ve found a bit poor this year in terms of experiences, abilities and knowledges, many problems for to make art and go forward. Sometimes This year has been like a 
copy of the last year, not funny parody.

I hope to change my way to think the next year because I need to learn other things for survive, different to a Arts so I wanna learn economy or something similar like management.

But not all is bad in this year because I learnt many things about photography by example: how to print fine art and how to set it up. I met the other side of the photo world, the cooliest side. This side that earn lot of money. By example: for a simple photo you can earn like 800.000 I don’t talking’ about a photo from Munita, Quintana or Poirot.

Finally in terms of economy I feel that I’ve lost too much –part of my musical heritage– but if I add and rest I got  0 –I think–

My plans for this summer

Hello fellas again, in this entry I'm going to talk about my summer plans.

I have three main plans:

My first one:

In this summer I'm going to travel to "Isla de Pascua" because I need to release the accumulated stress from this horrible year -this year was very weird-. I have a ticket's dealer who sell very cheap. Its costs 650.000 clp around, seven days with all include even the air tickets. In this place I'd like to meet their people, archaeological constructions and the most important for me: their landscapes. I always dream of landscapes like the island, the hills dresses up with grass, white sand beaches bathed with pristine water from the sea. Also I'd like to meet their people with their local customs and traditions, and to teach my abilities as an artist.

My Second one:

In january I'm gonna take a class of design tools and projects management on the University to complement my resume and to learn how to earn easy money or how spend it –being the evil puppeteer behind the curtains of my work area–. It's a class to develop knowledge to apply for superior studies because in april I will apply to Diploma –not in my work area–.


My Third one:

Do nothing and spend my time watching the whole series that I didn't saw in 2015. I have got a collection from Hitchcock, Lars Von Trier and many anime series.

A typical sculpture

My favorite tv Series

Hello again In this entry I'm going to talk about my favorite t.v. series, in this case: Dexter.

The series focuses in a forensic analyst who examine blood that is left behind at crime scenes. In the day work as a forensic, but when the night arrives he turns on a serial killer who kills bad guys -murderers-. His name is Dexter Morgan and he is a detective son who have a sister who is detective too.

Dexter Morgan is the typical guy, good neighbor, good brother and hard worker –typical psychopath–, but he got  a big trauma from his childhood and he always remember things about his traumatic past. Trauma is about his murdered mother, he saw when she was murdered and when she dies. He remember every thing about crime scene regardless his age –about three years old–.  When the time passes he developed homicidal tendencies but he was helped to convert his feelings in a good way. He have caution when he kills a guy he got all the knowledge about crime scenes and he can modify it without raise doubts –is the perfect killer–.

I remember that I saw the first, second, and third season in two or three days, this t.v. series caught me up with the first chapter because I like the antiheroes and I like the science behind the show. I was in my house with nothing to do so I though there is no problem about to see the three seasons–I have pizza, coke and a comfortable bergere I don't care–.

I have environmental awareness but I suppress it.

In this entry I'm going to talk about the green awareness.

It's very hard to have green awareness, nowadays most people don't care about this topic because the mind structure does not allow think about it. Is the fault of economic thought –I feel– and human's behavior.

Regardless the economic context many people are worrying about environment, they are a little group compared with people who don't care about green thoughts. This little segment, or niche, many times are formed by people who are enviromental activists aswell.

Green activist have a positive impact in people because they are changing their lifestyle. Most people learn about green practices in the school but they don't put it into practice in their lifestyle. I have to be honest with my readers I have never recycled –only thoughts and art projects– I used to ride a bike but due to the distances that I have to travel I normally got the subway and the bus.

I'm not an activist but I normally try to reduce my carbon foodprint making little things. I try to eat healthy –means: I don't eat meat for a time– because red meat contributes to increase the global carbon foodprint –is more eco-friendly to produce fruits and vegetables than to feed cows–

I'd like to have more enviromental awareness. We need to put into action the enviromental knowledge not just because is in vogue, but also because is a positive lifestyle that contributes to the mankind and the planet –I think–.

Cultural Management

I would like to work in a office correcting creative projects –art and design– because I need order in my life. I used to be a man with good habits and very rigorous –I sometimes feel that I lost my way studying Art, just kidding–.

Therefore I would like to work for the government in power or in a marketing office. I think that I can to learn to much about others reading their projects for to learn about their mistakes for to use their in my own projects –something similar to Albert Einstein when he worked at the patent office–.

The next year I'm going to take a program in "Cultural Management" –I have a diploma in "fine Arts Photography"– I only need a degree in anything, now I'm finishing a major in Arts -especialty: Photography- and I hope to finish it without inconveniences.

I realize that the "Art Market" is a fertile land, underexploited. You can make money easily working in management being an intermediary between the artist and the institution.

Parallel to my work in office I would like to work making art or something similar, work with models, objects and landscapes  –also called. "working in my artist EGO"–

I only want to travel to south of Chile not to travel to the entire world, I want to fish Salmones and truchas with my handmade flies in  Valdivia forest. Also I want to know the whole artists in Chile when I travel by work –maybe I only will work on a bored desk correcting dreams –


 

Last Movie I saw

Well, I'm talking about the last movie I saw. It was "The Martian" is a sci-fi movie directed by Ridley Scott (Same of Aliens saga, Gladiator and Blade Runner). I saw it the last Wednesday when my classmates were in class (I missed anything They told me). I was getting well 'cause the last Tuesday I felt sick (something that I've never felt before) 'cause I had pressure in my head so I felt like if my head and eyes were going to explode (Just I drink a glass of lemon juice for getting better).

I skip classes from Tuesday to Wednesday for getting better. I was bored in my bedroom so I decided go to the cinema for to see something different to my youtube routine. I was confused about what movie would I to see, my options were: El Botón de Nacar and The Martian (Misión Rescate). I chose the martian 'cause "El Boton de Nacar" they only exhibited in the night.

The martian is about a guy (Matt Damon) who stayed in mars due his friends were left him for dead after a martian storm. Damon uses his knowledge as a botanist for to survive up to they rescue him (helped by Chinese). Finally many things of the movie remember "Saving Private Ryan", "Interestellar" and "Gravity" you can eat your popcorn quietly, just have fun!
