Changes to my study programme

Even though I am in my second year of my degree, I have gone over the journalism curriculum many times. So there are a few things I would like to change about this one.

 About the subjects I have, I think I would eliminate some that I don't think are totally necessary. In the career we have "Electives of Basic Training" (EFB) that help to complement the career in specific areas. To get the degree credits we are asked to total 16 credits in these subjects, which would mean taking 6 to 8 of these. Although I think they are courses in which you learn very interesting things, I do not see them as useful to develop professionally and often worsen the academic load. So I would cut the credits in half, just 8.

 I haven't been to the university much, so I don't know it well enough to change its structure, but from what I've been told, the classrooms are very limited, so I'd like to see them make more classrooms for when they are needed. I would also add more equipment for work, be it more microphones, cameras, and other sound equipment, so that it would be enough for all the students. In addition, I would also like to see more licenses to work with programs like Phothoshop, as we currently have to share them.

 As for the teaching methods, I think they are quite good, although I would perhaps add more opportunities to be able to apply what we have learned.

Time travel to the future

 

It took me a while to think about what time in the future I would like to travel to, because I had never stopped to think about it, I always imagined that if I could travel in time I would go to the past.

After thinking about it for a long time, Halley's comet came to my mind, a comet that approaches the Earth approximately every 75 years, which makes it possible for a person to see it only twice in his lifetime. It was last here in 1986, and is scheduled to return in 2061.

So I would like to travel to 2061 to be able to see this comet, as it is one of the brightest comets, making it more visible than the others. While I am not a big fan of astronomy, it is something that really catches my attention, so I would love to be able to see Halley's comet. To see it in a better way, I think I would go directly to an observatory, because although it will be visible all over the world, if you see it from a hill or just from a house, you will not be able to appreciate it properly.

I would not like to stay in 2061, because I would go just to see Halley's comet. Besides, most likely my parents, grandparents and my family in general, will not be there with me, and I would not like to be alone.

My future job

Since I started studying journalism, I have not been clear about what kind of job I would like to have. At least not just one. I used to like the idea of working in radio, but now I don't think it's my thing. However, I really like print journalism, so I would like to work in a magazine or newspaper, writing about things I like, such as culture, education, health and a bit of politics. 

Although I would like to travel in my future job, and although I know that working in an office, directly in a communication agency can give me the option to travel, a freelance job would be much better for this. So I would also like to travel, get to know different cultures and work for companies that need the help of a journalist, such as writing, managing social networks, among other jobs. 

What I like most about journalism is the freedom and variety it has in terms of jobs. The field of work is very large, and that is why I would like to work in different places, as I said writing in newspapers and periodicals, doing freelance work, and although television and radio journalism are not totally of my interest, I do not rule them out completely. 

Dulcinea

 

Dulcinea is a carey cat. I found her on December 28, 2018, I was on my way to shop and heard little meows, looked up and saw a kitten up a tree. I thought she was lost and took her to my house. I like to tell this story because I found her three days before my birthday. So I like to think it was a nice birthday present.

Well, she wasn't lost, I posted pictures of her and no one asked about her, so after insisting to my parents, I decided to adopt her. It was a long process, she came in sick, so I had to buy her some medicine. She was also scared, so it took me a while to gain her trust.

Now, Dulcinea trusts me and my family completely, she is a bit spoiled, she likes to sleep on our lap. She is also very playful, her favorite toys are balls and toy mice. However, she is also naughty. She likes to scratch the curtains and sleep on my mom's plants, so my mom always gets angry.

Dulcinea is one of the family, although my parents didn't like her very much at first, now they love her and spoil her very much. She is very important to me because she gives me peace. When I adopted her I spent a lot of time alone at home and she gave me all the company I needed.

Childhood Series

 

During my childhood I watched many television programs. The ones I remember most are the ones I watched with my cousins at our grandparents' house, since we spent every summer there.  We would watch Thundercats and play at being part of the series. We would also watch Japanese cartoons like Doraemon and Shin-Chan together. Of these, my favorite was Doraemon, I found it amazing that he could pull any coa out of his pocket.

I also remember I loved Winnie the Pooh, my favorite character was Igor, the donkey. I still have a stuffed animal of his, my parents used to tell me that I went everywhere with him. And although he stayed with me at the movies, in restaurants or even in other cities, he always came back with me.

 Later, I really enjoyed the old Disney series, such as The Wizards of Waverly Place, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Zeke and Luther, Hannah Montana and many more.

However, I think the one that marked my childhood the most was "31 Minutes", I know all the songs and I never missed an episode.

THE (FRIST) BEST CONCERT EVER

 

I don't know if it was the best concert I've ever been to, but it was the first one and I think that makes it special. When I was 12 years old, I went to the One Direction concert, this was on May 01, 2014 at the national stadium in Santiago.

One Direction was a boyband composed of five members. The band was formed in 2011, thanks to the show "The X Factor" and from there they shot to stardom. The fact that they gave a concert in Chile was quite a spectacle, they even had to add a second date due to the demand for tickets.

At this time, I had no money for tickets. So with a friend we competed for tickets, and it wasn't until the day before the concert that we won two tickets for the second date. I remember the atmosphere during the event was very nice, during the whole wait I talked to different people. I was literally in the middle of the crowd, so I don't remember seeing much, plus I was considerably shorter, but that didn't stop me from having a good time and singing at the top of my lungs.

I remember it fondly now, especially because I got to see One Direction live before they split up.

Sweden

 

If I had the money, I would definitely go to Sweden. Because it is a country with a interesting culture and history and breathtaking landscapes.

Sweden is a Nordic country located on the Scandinavian peninsula in northern Europe. It has a population of ten million inhabitants. Although it has a king (Carosl XVI Gustaf), it has no political power. Sweden has a parliamentary democracy. And although Swedish is the official language, the vast majority of its inhabitants speak English.

On my visit I would like to go to the ABBA museum in Stockholm, go to the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan and the Ice Hotel in the village of Jukkasjärv. Also, Sweden is known for its high quality natural ingredients, so they have a wide variety of vegan dishes, so I would like to try some of these.

I would like to work in Sweden in something related to my career, maybe in a newspaper in the communication area of a company.
