curriculum

When i decided to study journalism, one of the things that help me to take the decision was the curriculum of the career, because it was a very atractive offer for a girl that likes the humanist side of life, ands it a little confused. The subjects seemed very interesting, not so superficial, but more philosophical. And in part it turn out to be that way, the problem is that now i dont know what to do with all that theory, and some times it a little scary when you are already in four year, i you dont know exactly what you ve learned, or what you do better than others. I think we, the students of journalism, have always this problem where we know a lot of things but very unspecific. 

So maybe we should from thrid grade, choose elective subjetcs that build our future road in the career. Maybe it s a good idea now that everything its more and more complex in the area of comunications, because of the technology that it a lot faster than our capacity of adaption. 

i think the teaching methods are okey and our teachers are also very good academics, but sometimes they tend to thing were are all going to be teachers, or researchers in the area, and we need to be prepared for the world outside the university, where sometimes  it doesnt matter if you have read a lot or you can write very good essays. 

Well, anyway, i think a big part of what you learn or do it s on your hands, and today its always the day where you can start doing things, because, like they say, tomorrow never comes.

winter holidays

I think will are not going to have winter holidays, because of the strike, so i dont have any plans for these year. But i had the idea to go to buenos aires with some friends, maybe for two weeks. I have a friend that study there so i can stay  in his place for free, and i can spend my money in other things. 

Most of my winters holidays are in Puerto Varas, the city where i grew up, and where my father lives. Its a beutiful city, and very touristic, so it s a perfect place to relax. I have homemade food, i can sit in the afternoon next to the fire, play with my little brother, see some movies with my father, hangout with my friends that also come to visit there families. 

It s like a little break from all the stress and chaos from Santiago, a very different way of living that gives me the power to keep going with my university studies. 

It s all so quiet that the frist nights i cant sleep because i m already use to the noise from the capital, but i aprecciate a lot that nothing wakes me up in the morning and that i can sleep till my eyes open by their own. 

Like all winter holydays i drink a lot of tee in the day, and wine with my friends in the night, remembering good all times when we were teenagers... return to Puerto Varas it s always like a flashback for me. Do all the things that i used to with people that i dont see much in Santiago, it s a very good feeling. 

The best food to cook for myself

Today i made a delicious pumpking cream, perfect for a rainy day like today...

First i cut the pumpking in little pieces, then i cut a little onion and put it all together in a clay plate with salt and olive oil in the oven for about twenty minutes in the maximum temperature.

You know when the pumpking is cooked or ready when its soft and the fork comes out easily.

Now to make the cream you put everything in a bowl with some water and cream, and you grind all with the mini pymer if you have one, i think a blender should work too for this step.

Depending in the consistency you want, you can put more or less water and cream.

And its ready! so simple and really tasty.

You can use the vegetable you want or have in your house and the recipe it's almost the same, you don't have to be a master chef to prepare this, and nowadays you can find all the recipes in the world in internet, or in youtube, so there are no excuses to try to cook something for yourself.

Actually know you can find really good videos, that in three minutes show you how to prepare a meal or a desert, step by step, with common ingredients and no special techniques! So you only need time and motivation, give it a try, you won't regret it!
