eco challenge

A lot of people don't usually think about environment. Maybe because we are so used to our environment that we don't care about it that much as we must to. If a natural disaster happens, everyone worries about its consequences, but there many situations we could fix out day to day. It's important people teaching their children how to take care of our environment by adopting simple practices like recycling and spending just the water we need. 
Personally, I've never incorporated recycle as an usual practice, and I assume that's my fault. I do have a bicycle now, and it's pretty nice. In fact, tomorrow I'm buying  a helmet and some kind of chain so I can finally use my new bike. When I rode it for the first time I was a little scared because I haven't ride bike in the streets before, but everything went better than I expected. It was such a great feeling, specially when I was faster than the bus I usually take. 
The last friday I also join into a eco-organisation from Facso. The members are each friendly and they have a lot of good ideas to develop with the rest of the students. I'm a little afraid of not having enough time for this commission, but I'm trying to give the best of me this semester, so I can accomplish all my responsibilities and also have a good time.

visual art!

Visual arts are important because of the same reasons than the others: they allow to show us a little of the human spirit. Each kind of art has its own way to express how the people feel about their life and rest of the world. I really enjoy the moment when you're staring in front of a picture and you begin to wonder what inspired the artist to paint it. But I really don't know about famous artist. I know I like Frida Kahlo and René Magritte. I don't like museums that much. I have to admite that one of my worries is that I never know how many time do I have to spend staring the things. 

Instead, my main contact with visual arts are the illustrators I met in the internet. They usually draw quick and nice pictures about the human being: music, gender, love, literature, and more.  My favorite illustratore are Gabi Rubi, Ricardo Siri Liniers and Emba. Gabi Rubi took my heart when I discovered his drawings about Spinetta's and Cerati's songs. Emba makes beautiful minimalist pictures and Ricardo Siri Liniers draws pretty good comics. It's great when this kind of artist win a lot of support from the people on the internet because it is an efficent and free way to appreciate urban expressions.

strawberry fields forever

It's hard talking about my "future job", because I barely know what I am studying for haha. If we'd live in a best world, I'd love to live in the country and having my own fields. I know that job implies a lot of work, specially in summer, and also a huge risk because of the weather, but I think that getting food from the earth by myself would be an amazing experience. Also, I'd work with my family and I wouldn't have to live in a city.
But we all know there are a lot of problems all over the world, and we can't stay staring at it. Maybe studying sociology isn't the best way of changing the world, but I've decided to learn how the things work, and then putting that knowledge in practice.  I would like to work in rural areas of Chile, making projects to solve problems that we haven't in the city, like the access to water or the modifications of the roads. It sounds a little boring, but I'd get the chance of meeting different villages and their people. Another interesting topic for me is feminism, so I would like to do research about how do the woman in this rural areas lives. Doing this by myself is impossible, but that's okay because I'm good working in teams.

Bye :-)
