How Green Are u?

I have tried to be green. I think it is something I have lost a lot since I arrived santiago. Im not saying that the people of santiago have the problem, but the speed of the capital´s life sometimes makes us forget the things that  we believe.
I think I want to recover some "green attitudes" in my life, like recycling, cycling, compost and trying to always think the best form of doing regular things.

some other habits we can adopt are:

*using our own fabric bags when we buy food, instead of plastic bags

*Carrying our garbage to recycling points, and cheking they go in the correct group; sometimes, details (like unclean garbage) make this a pointless action

*trying to walk or use public transport instead of driving a car

*using parks and green areas

*putting the lights and electronic devices off when they are not occupied

*Cleaning our Houses regulary

*using only the necesary water

This requires time and patience: our society is always trying to do things more confortable and fast, and this is the reason why our economy and life style system is not ready for a green way. But change is real, and it starts with you!

Our world need our change of mentality and a better way to do things: the prove of that is the huges movement and strange things that are happening all around the world.

My Future Job

I dont really know what I want to do with my profesional life in the future.
Sometimes I think in studying another thing that could be addressed from my area: I have said other times that maybe I want to study anthropology after finish this major; I know a lot about religions and folklore, and I would like to study the world from this point of view.
But, in direct relation to my career, I think I want to work in art direction in some tv serie or movie:
I like to work in outdoors and too stay in an office or studio. Is a great opportunity to travel a lot, and meet interesting people.
I think that the work in a office is important (understanding that it is not always what is conventionally understood as an office, because it could we a space of conversation and organization).

Other thing related to my career that I like is the realization: I would like to have a workshop where I could create masks, marionettes, toys, prosthesis for special effects, costumes, forniture, etc. Make things with my hands is something that I love, and I try to put a lot of love on it.

Well, I dont know what more to do, because sometimes is better wait that life gives you oportunities that chase something  that we dont really understand.

Career Related Post

I love my work. I love craft work, make maps and desing in general. I thing realisation is the most beautiful part of it: the concrete thing is what i like.

I chose this major because of the breadth of the study areas:with the tools that it gives me, I can work in multiple spaces (like theater, television, cinema, etc)

I wanted to learn a lot of things, and be able to give solution for each problem.

But, of course, the major has its problems: you need a lot of time for create and work , and is very difficult If you want to have projects apart of the studies. The levels of pressure in the university are very high: we habe a lot of theorical classes, were we study everytime the same things.

Is true that the basic thing the university gave to me are very usefull, but in this time of my university life, I only want to get out and star to work, because I habe learned much more in the practical space that in the classroom.

If you ask me what I wanna do in the future, I think I want to study another thing (like antropology, or a specialty), or to began to work in a production, maybe with a television serie (but not a soap opera)

Experiences with Food


My Worst experience with food was four years ago:

One night of study (I was in another career), I was very tired and I wanted to sleep, but, also, I was starving.
 I asked myself: "what could I cook in a very short time so I could go to sleep soon?". In the fridge I found cheese, macarronis and mayonaise, so I put them all in a cup in the microwave and I cooked  them for a few minutes.
The chesse melted and with the mayonaisse it was like a cream.
It was delicious. Maybe it was because of my hunger, but I remember it like "A manjarsh".


  




After finished that gift from the gods, I went to sleep. 

A half hour after I wake up with the worst and powerfull wadding pain ever: my stomach was three times its size, and I couldnt move. 
I dragged myself to the kitchen and there, remembering the teachings of my naturalist mother, I  prepared myself an oregano infusion. The solution was immediately: I felt how my stomach was contracted and I went then to sleep again. I didnt eat mayonaise again in three months.

My Best experience with food is (And I say Is, because It occurs a few times in the year) are the pancakes with spinach that my mother cooks. 
She cant cook them always, because the recipe is whit butter, and my father (I dont know why) get very angry when He smells butter. But, when He is traveling, my mother take the chance for cook them. I think Is something psicological, but is the best meal I ever eaten.
