Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Image
Hi everyone Today in the last blog of this course leds I will talk about my experience these years with English. My experience in these courses has been good, I think writing the blogs has been the most entertaining, since I learned a little more vocabulary, my participation this semester has been limited due to time issues but I really appreciate the blogs. I must admit that I have always had a low level of English, the truth has been difficult for me to strengthen my knowledge of this language. I have always felt that I do not learn anything in the courses, from first year that I do not participate much in classes out of shame, since I feel at a disadvantage when speaking and I block, so I try not to do it, and if they force me it generates a lot of anxiety. I think that my reading comprehension and my writing have improved a lot, but I do have to reinforce speaking and listening a lot, although sometimes I still identify what the lyrics of a song or a dialogue in a series say withou...

Blog 7: Time Travel to the Future

Image
Hi everyone Every time I think about time travel I have always thought that I would go to the past, I only thought about the future when I was a child and wanted to be big, but currently I think about that if I would go to the future.  I would like to be able to travel to 2050, I would like to know how my existence goes in that year, since everyone says that this is the year in which everything ends because of climate change, I would like to know if that is really the case, really I hope not and that the human being becomes aware before the end arrives.  As for me, I would like to see myself 30 years older, to know if in that time I achieved the goals that I now have in the long term, such as having my flat in Spain, a stable family or working as a member. designer. I feel that if I got together with my previous version, he would invite me to eat some good ones and he would tell me, live better every day, go out more, take more risks, that would be what I would do. I say to my...

Blog 6: Changes to My Study Programme

Image
Hi everyone  Antonio Varas Room Today I am going to talk to you about the changes I would make in my career. In my career the classes are 50% theoretical and 50% practical, but I have always felt that the practical ones are more important, especially the workshop, since it is in this field where everything learned is put into practice.  That is why the first change I would like to make is to give greater importance to the theoretical classes, making them more dynamic, so that in this way it is much more pleasant to acquire knowledge about the theater. In the practical fields, I would change two things, the field of production techniques would make it very complete, in order to acquire better knowledge about the realization of objects, such as using tools, among other things. Finally, I would like the lighting classes to take place in the Antonio Varas Room, since it would be better for the students to understand lighting from a theater room rather than from a poorly structured...

Blog 5: My Future Job

Image
Hi everyone In today's blog I'm going to talk to you about my future job. I would like very much in the future to work as an integral designer, to be able to handle all the areas of my discipline, especially scenography and costumes, which are the ones I like the most and in which I have a better creative development. I would like to work not only in theater, but also in film or television. Movie with the typical sad cliché I would love to be able to always work on projects that have themes related to the LGBTTTIQ + community, in order to contribute with the visibility of this, in addition to breaking the typical sad cliche of all movies related to a non-hetero love, since they usually have a sad ending and tragic. Since I entered the career they have always told me that I will live under a bridge for salary issues, but the truth is that I settle for a salary that allows me to live without hardship, that is, to maintain a house and be able to give myself some luxuries. Sketch o...

Blog 4: The Ugly Truth of my Career

Image
Hi everyone Today I am going to tell you a little about the dark side of my career. I've always described my career as a balance between entertainment and stress, but there are times when stress changes the scale. My worst experience was last year during the first semester with the pre-delivery of a comprehensive design work, I had gone to bed very late for several days and for some reason I did not arrive on time, with a few hours left. To send the work I started crying because I felt like a failure, I remember crying while I kept painting with watercolors, it was the most stressful moment of my career. The truth is that I personally have never had a bad experience with a teacher, and I hope I never do. This semester I have slept more than all the previous ones. The number of hours I sleep depends on what I have to do, every time there are workshop deliveries or the end of the semester they are very stressful days where I do not sleep more than 5 hours, even the day before delive...

Blog 3: My Favourite Time of the Year

Image
Hi everyone In today's blog I'm going to talk about my favorite seasons of the year. Since I was little I have always felt very comfortable with cold climates, I loved cloudy days and even more rainy ones, I liked being able to go out and play in the rain, look at the sky and feel the droplets run down my face. This love of the cold has continued to this day, so I could say that my favorite seasons are fall, but especially winter. My best memory in autumn is when I returned home with my grandmother from the center of the city and we walked through the Forestal Park, seeing and stepping on the yellow leaves with my grandmother is the best memory I have in that season. Photo of that winter day at the beach My best memory in winter is from the year before the pandemic, during winter holidays my best friend invited me to the beach for the weekend. One of those days we went out in the afternoon to walk along the seashore, we sat on the sand and watched the sunset. Since then I love ...

Blog 2: The Best Concert Ever

Image
  Hi everyone Today I am going to share with you some of my best memories. I remember one day in 2018, one of my best friends came to tell me that she was inviting me to Camila Cabello's concert, which for me was very exciting, since I had never been to a concert before. For us that year it was a tradition to listen to music at all time and that year we listened to the songs of this artist a lot. Camila Cabello is a pop singer from the United States and also she is Mexican and Cuban descent, who began her musical career in a group called "Fifth Harmony", but after a few years she separated from it and began her solo career. On October 18, 2018, I couldn't handle the excitement and anxiety I felt inside the Movistar Arena. Our seats were in the upper stalls, which allowed us to see the artist quite close. Before Camila's show, there was a Denise Rosenthal performance, which was very good, as she dances very well. The moment Camila took the stage, the whole atmosphe...
