Personal Opinions

Nuclear power, I don’t know much about nuclear power, however, I think that can be a great source of energy if used correctly. I remember having a conversation with a teacher and he was telling me that nuclear power could be a viable solution to the energy shortage problem, but after what happened in Chernobyl (human error according to my teacher) no one would trust nuclear energy again. That really left me thinking about how somethings can influence our decisions, for example, I was talking to a friend a while ago and he told me how someone messed up his brother’s tattoo, so now he doesn’t ever want to get a tattoo. I have got to say that I am tempted to try tattoos someday, I would have to think it very seriously because it’s something that it’s going to be on you forever, well, not necessarily if you think of laser removing surgery, but I think that would cost a lot of money. I’d rather be “mechoneado”, for those of you who don’t know what that is, “mechoneo” is a “welcoming” tradition among university students, I think that at its heart is a great way to introduce new students to the university life (like the one that I had). I don’t know if it started with that intention, but through the years has become more of a mocking and bullying tradition, I sincerely don’t understand it, I think it’s at the same level as Hooligans, saving the distance of course, as a soccer fan myself I do not get the hooligan culture, I can understand that someone may “love” a soccer team, and that a little competitiveness it’s always okay. But, coming to the extremes to cause riots and actually hurt (or even kill) other people for a soccer match to me it’s crazy.

Childhood Series

When I was a kid I used to watch a lot of cartoons, but my favorite was Ben 10, it was on the Cartoon Network channel and I watch it every day in the morning before school. I loved the plot of the series and I thought the characters were really original. Furthermore, the opening sequence and song were amazing.

Later on, the series evolved into new seasons and storylines that I didn't like so I stopped watching it except when they rerun the old episodes. Nonetheless, I still remember Ben 10 with warm feelings and thoughts.

Another show that I watched was Powerpuff Girls, but when I was even younger. I remember a story that my parents always have told me about one day I was watching this series. So, it was in the morning and there was a blackout while I was watching an episode, so my parents had to call the electricity service company to try to restore the power, but that took a very long time, so I couldn't watch the end of the episode and I never knew what happened.

Postgraduate Studies

I haven't given much thought on if I'm going to take a postgraduate course after finishing my career, it's a decision that will have to wait for now, maybe in the future, who knows. But if I ever take a postgraduate course it would be something related to Media Arts or Audiovisual productions, because I believe it would be a great way of improving and complement my skills in artistic productions.

Even though I haven't decided anything yet, I've been doing some research on what the postgraduate degree would consist, and I've found out that there are some really interesting subjects to study, and the ones that caught my eye are the ones related to Applications and Technologies Area and Aesthetics and Theory Area, to mention some of them.

I think that the course would be here in Chile, that part is a little bit dull because I would like to keep my studies abroad, somewhere the artistic scenery is more relevant and the opportunities more diverse, on the other hand, here I would have my family to support me.  

Normally I'd be okay with part-time courses but due to the situation that we're all currently on with the self-isolation and all, I've found that studying from home it's easier for me, I can distribute my time in a better and more organized way, so if the option to do distance learning presents itself, I will take it.
