Blog 6: Change to my study programme

Hello, 

I like the actual programme for my career, but at the same I think this program would be obsolete in the future. Why? because journalism is linked directly with the society that evolve all time... and the ways to make good journalism evolve at the same time. For example,  digital journalism is the currently way, probably this can be part of the future but we never can know more because it is hard to predict the future.  

If I have the "power" to change the current program I probably insert something related with the social skills that a good journalist needs, like talk in public or make uncomfortable questions. Today the programme has courses that teach part of this  but not only for this and I think this could be so enjoyable.

Today the career takes five years, (if you don't fail in some semester). I heard many times the career should be take only three years but public politics contemplate all careers in Chile  have five years for minimum duration. 

About the academic charge… sometimes I feel very bad and sad about it because it is too much… but not always because I love it and I really enjoy learning about it. 

ICEI probably does not have the best equipment or infrastructure for the times, although the last time that I went to university one building  was under construction and looked so nice… I really hope to have classes there… But the best of ICEI in my opinion is the teachers, they are incredible. I really like to learn from people that loves so much what they do  that transmite the passion for journalism (I'm really grateful for that).

This is everything for this last blog for english IV. Hope you like… thanks for read! 

Blog 5: Personal opinions

¿what is your opinion about tattoos?

I think tattoos express art. In the end the skin becomes a canvas, where the person relies on an artist to mark it with ink during a generally painful but bearable process. 

Society tends to have prejudiced with people who have many tattoos, especially those who openly wear them. Like if wearing them makes you a worse person, but it's not. Often having tattoos can be typical of the person's style and taste, but at the same time it can be for cultural issues. In fact, women of Maori culture are known for their ritual tattoos in face. 

In my free time I like to see works by Chilean and international tattooists. My favorites are: @polillatattoo (Polilla) and @mardenanquim (Jacque López). Polilla is a Chilean tattoo artist and Jacque Lopéz is from Portugal. His works are with thin black lines, usually without colors or with red tones and with pointillism. 

I have only one tattoo to date (I hope I have more). On my back I have a hummingbird. I got this tattoo with my mom when I found out I'd made it into the career I wanted and for this I'd go live to another city. For me tattoos are symbolism that represent periods or nice things in life. Although I think is valid getting a tattoo for personal aesthetics or any other reason.

*I was tattooed at Estudio El Bosque. I recommend them because they are very good tattooists and nice people.*

Thanks for read ✌

-Hope you like tattoos to-

Blog 4: My Future Job

Hi!

In the future I would like to work doing investigations about communication or maybe doing  journalism classes. I really like teaching. After the October revolution I volunteered to prepare a group of young people for the PSU 2019. The experience was so good, I hope I get that feeling in the future. 

I like outdoor and indoor activities. I think good journalism work involves these two kinds of activities.So, I wait to participate in this in the next eventuality.

I love travel and journalism. If I can mix those things in my life I will be the happiest person in the world. So, I really hope to travel for my job when I be a professional.

In the next semesters I would like to study investigative journalism because I think that is a funny part of the job and I really like.  

Being a journalist in Chile isn't an easy profession because we are many  and sometimes it is hard to get a job. For this reason I will not feel bad. If I work in other kinds of journalism, like radio, tv or magazines, I’ll be satisfied because I love this profession. I will be happy in all the possible cases if I work in something related to this.n all the possible cases if I work in something related to this.

Blog n°3: Movies and Series

 Greys anatomy 

My favorite television series is Grey's Anatomy. I've seen at least 16 seasons twice ... I get obsessed a little when I like something.

I like it because the plot is quite good, it makes me disconnect, sometimes I even learn medicine when I see it (obvious joke) ...

I started watching this series in the second half. During the winter break of that year I saw the seasons that were on Netflix, almost 300 episodes, of 50 minutes each one, in four weeks.

Grey's Anatomy is an American television series created by Shonda Rhimes and starring Ellen Pompeo. It is a medical and romantic drama. It premiered on March 27, 2005 on ABC. It chronical the day to day of the surgeons of a fictional hospital in Seattle.

The series follows Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo), the daughter of an esteemed medical named Ellis Gray, following her acceptance into the residency program at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital. During his time as a resident, Gray works alongside fellow physicians: Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and George O'Malley (TR Knight), who each struggle to balance their personal lives with hectic schedules and stressful residency requirements. During their internship, they are overseen by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), a senior resident who works with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), head of neurosurgery and Meredith's love interest; and Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), Chief of Surgery and general attending surgeon.

My favorite chapter is number 25 of season 15.

*something that I would like to emphasize of the series is his amazing soundtrack *

Blog 2: Best Holiday Ever

Best Holiday Ever

My best holiday was  in 2012 when  I traveled with my parents and siblings to EEUU for the first time. We visited Miami, Orlando, Disney parks and took a cruise in florida that went to Key West, Jamaica and Gran Caiman. The first part of the trip to EEUU was on a plane, the flight lasted around 15 hours. We arrived in Miami and stayed there for a week. My parents leased a car and we traveled for the highway to Orlando. 

*When my dad went for the car didn't know that her driver licence had expired (LOL). So, my mom took the responsibility to drive in the journey.*

I remember all the stop places on the highway. With my sister and brother always fight for stupid things, like sit in the chair next to window or said our food orders in english in the markets.

We did many activities. We meet all the Orlando Disney Parks. My favourite was Hollywood Studio and i loved the games the Hollywood Tower and the Rock ´n´ Roller coaster.

I think that I really enjoyed this trip because meeting Disney is like making a dream come true for a child and I went there when I was a good age and size for all the games.

BLOG 1: A COUNTRY I´D LIKE TO VISIT

INDONESIA

I would like to visit Indonesia because I think it has beautiful landscapes, wonderful architecture, and its culture is very attractive.

I have little knowledge about this country...I know that its capital is Jakarta. Indonesia has around 17,000 islands and that it is the fourth most biodiverse country in the world.

My cousin lived in Indonesia for a while and she visited various places. I know that getting to this country from Chile is expensive. But today the currency exchange is convenient for us, so once there, it is cheap to pay for food, accommodation and transportation.

I would like to know about their culture, learn their language, interact with Indonesians, walk through their bigg reserves, realice water activities (diving, canoeing,and others), photograph their beautiful landscapes, taste their variety of fruits, learn about their tribal tattooing technique, among others stuff.

If I had to do academic activities in that country, I think I would focus on doing an ethnography of the culture of the habitants of tourist islands, such as Bali. In order to expose how their culture have changed due to the increase in tourism, raising awareness about it.
