Stress and workshop

Well, how do I even start? Workshop it’s like everything, I think it is the most important class in the career because that is where we learn how to make models and projects. I have workshop 4 times a week, and usually I have something with a mark like three days a week. I have this ¨obligatory assignments¨ usually on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have to be working everyday to keep things going well, and sometimes you put all your effort into a project and the workshop teachers tell you that it’s all wrong. In that cases there is nothing to do about but stress out and start again, hoping that what you brings next is going to be better. I dont really manage stress so easily, in fact, I think that I dont manage it at all, stress manage me and gets me anxiety all the time☹ So, for all new architecture students, I think that get organized and constant is the best thing you could do, but you need both, organization AND constancy or things will start to get very complicated and you wont have time to sleep, eat or live. And since we dont want that, keep organized and constant and hope for the best! 

Movies now and then.

I don´t really remember what I used to like when I was a child, maybe fantasy movies, sci-fi movies or even disney ones, but I remember that maybe at twelve or thirteen I discovered this channel called ¨I-Sat¨, it was number 53 on my tv, and they had all this ¨alternative independent movies and series¨ that were half like low price movies with cheap scenery and the other half was like ¨Oscar´s nominee for best underground movie¨ and you could expect anything, from cartoons like Adult Swim, that I still like, to classic French or Russian movies. Since then I really like that kind of movies because I always think like ¨oh that could be me¨ or ¨I would like to do that¨. Another type of movies that are in this channel are the bizarre ones, where you see people becoming something else, or flying heads with giants legs and even movies that kind of ¨break¨ the stereotype of movie.

I really think that this channel was what made the difference between childhood movies and the movies that I like nowadays, so thanks I-sat!

Best concert ever!

In april, I had the most amazing day of my life and it was because a concert. There is a band called Basement, they are from the UK and they are one of my favorite bands ever. I’ve been listenging to them for about 5 years and a few years ago they got separated so I thought that I would never be able to see them live. But when I saw they were coming to Chile I was the happiest person in the world. So, when the day of the concert came I was already feeling super exited, I remember that I walked like an hour to get to the place and when finally in, there were like 50 people in there, since they are not a very known band. During the concert, and because there were so few people, I was able to actually seat on the stage, I was like 40 centimeters away from them and I kept making visual contact just in case. When the concert ended, the guitarist gave me his pick and the drummer gave me one of his drumsticks. Then I walked outside to buy some merch and suddenly the band walks out and start offering cake, because it was the singer’s birthday. The best thing is that it was vegan cake, but we also took many pictures and they signed all my stuff. It was the greatest day of my life.
