Fiestas Patrias

This year’s Fiestas Patrias were a bit challenging for me since I recently had gastric sleeve surgery. I couldn’t eat most traditional foods or drink alcohol, but I still made sure to enjoy time with family and friends. 

On Friday the 13th, I sold choripanes at the university with two friends and then relaxed in Santiago. On Tuesday the 17th, I went to the "fonda" at Parque O'Higgins with my parents, brother, and grandmother, who visited from Valparaíso since we don’t see her often. I spent the 18th at home with my family.

On the 19th, I celebrated a childhood friend’s birthday, and on the 20th, I went to a party with some friends. Finally, on the 21st, I got together with other university friends to play traditional games. I kept busy with various activities, although I’ll admit I was tempted by a “terremotito.” For obvious reasons, I didn’t drink or eat anything outside my diet plan, but I hope that next year I can enjoy a delicious empanada de pino and a mote con huesillo, my two favorite treats for this time of year! Hahaha!

A piece of technology

 My Asus laptop is one of the most important pieces of technology I use daily. I’ve had it for about 6 years, as I received it as a gift before the pandemic started. Since then, it’s been a key tool for both my studies and my leisure time. I mainly use it to watch movies, as it has a high-quality screen that makes the experience amazing. I also use it for university work, since it can handle heavy programs like Adobe, Photoshop, and TouchDesigner, allowing me to work on creative projects and editing tasks with ease. This laptop has proven to be very durable and functional over the years. Despite its age, it still runs excellently, letting me switch between tasks smoothly without freezing or slowing down. I got it just before the pandemic began, which made it one of my main tools for studying from home during that uncertain time. What makes this laptop so special to me is its versatility. While I mainly use it for studying, I also use it for gaming during my free time. Its perform...

Your Semester so far

This semester has been one of many changes in both my academic and personal life. I switched from the Industrial program to the Integral program because I wasn’t enjoying the courses last semester. This time, I’m focusing on Graphic Design subjects, and I’m loving it. It feels less stressful than Industrial, and I’m finally studying something I truly enjoy. If I had to pick a favorite class, it would be Editorial Illustration. The professor is teaching us how to master watercolor techniques, and since drawing and painting have always been my passions, it’s something I look forward to every week. The class I like the least would be English. It’s not that I dislike the content, but having it so early in the morning makes it tough to get up, and I have to deal with crowded public transportation. Still, Professor Simion’s lessons are fun, and they’ve really helped me improve my English skills. Time management has been a lot easier this semester. Compared to last term, where I barely had ti...

Song I have been listening to

Imagen
Lately I have been listening to the "tiny desk" by "Paco amoroso" and "Ca7riel", it is not a song as such, it is a mini concert adapting the artists' songs with only instruments, on this occasion they made an adaptation with a Latin jazz style, I don't know very well what genre it is since it is something very different and refreshing to listen to and that is why I like it a lot. The first time I heard it was thanks to my friend Luna about two weeks ago when we met at another friend's house and there she showed them to us. The interesting thing is that "Paco Amoroso" and "Ca7riel" more ralize the urban genre with a mix of techno, so this tiny desk is something very different from the music they make. This is the tiny desk if you want to listen to it , I highly recommend it!! And here is another song of them, so you can make the comparison :)
