Post 7: My favorite TV show

I loooove watching TV shows. Nowadays, Netflix is a big platform to watch different kind of shows. You can choose from horror to drama, and also comedy or sci-fi (these are my favourite ones). I borrowed the netflix account from my sister and that's how I've known my favourite shows: The Walking Dead, Atypical, Stranger Things, La Casa de Papel, and many others that I could tell. But I have to say that the one that stole my entire soul, body and mind (yes, that's how much of a fan I am) is the one and only Breaking Bad. 

I know a lot of you have watched this show and loved it and I know that some others hated it because of its rythm. But I have to tell you that it's worth the waiting and the patience.
Breaking Bad is a crime-drama show that let us know the story of a high school chemistry professor, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), who was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was a good person but was the kind that didn't like things out of his control. Also he was a little depressed and struggling with his family life. Suddenly in the story he saw with little sadness the future of his family after his death and started a certain kind of campaing to save money for his family's future  by selling a drug called meth. He looked for an old student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) that he had and knew was involved in this matter and together started a business. That's in general the script of the series. It has five seasons. Did you know that all of the seasons were created with a specific color spectrum? Genius.

I'm not going to talk about specific details because I really want that ALL OF YOU CAN WATCH THIS SHOW! But I'm going to tell that my favourite part of the serie is (SPOILER ALERT!) when Walter White puts a bomb in a room where two other characters were (they were really bad persons) and one of them gets out of the room without a half of his face!!!! It's amazing. I mean, the makeup, how the moves of the camera are, the characters... Ahhhhhh, I really love the series.

I have to admit that I spent two years of my life with this show, because when I reached the third season I got a little bored, Ooops, I'm sorry world. That's why I say it's really worth the patience, because after the break that I had from the show, I really enjoyed everything that came after.

I think that it's a genious show. I mean, it has an emotional rollercoaster and you can't avoid being really into the characters lives or the development of the story. The actors are really good, the scenes are really good and I think it's the best show that I've seen in my life. To this day, I have not found a similar show.

I hope you can see it someday in your life. Thank you for reading! 

Post 6: Postgraduate studies

I'm not really sure about my plans after University.
I want to apply for a master's degree in Social Work (as you can imagine), here at Universidad de Chile, but I'm not very passionate about taking it. I mean, I want to learn more, but if doesn't work out, I'm not going to be mad. I think that I'm not THAT excited, because I don't know yet what topic I want to develop in my career and I want to work very quickly after I graduate. However I think today it's really important to get other studies besides pregrade.

Anyway when I found myself thinking about the time after Uni, taking a postgraduate course, I like to think that I would like to go to UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina) or UH (Universidad de La Habana, Cuba) and take a course about Public Politics or Latinamerican studies. I choose these Universities because I want to know those countries and I've heard that the education there is really good. Also, I think you can get some scholarship when you're from other country and I can't afford an education without it.

I don't think about taking a course here in Chile, because it's very expensive and it's difficult to get a scholarship. Even when you have to pay a room in other country, I've found that it's cheaper than studying here in our country. That sucks.

I've had a hard time thinking about this topic but it challenges me to think beyond present. So I like to share it with you. Thank you for reading!

Post 5: My Future Job

I'm not sure about what kind of job I would like to have. But in effort to write something honest about this topic, I would like to imagine my future job as a Social Worker (Social Work is the career I'm studying) in projects about childhood.

I don't really care if it's in an office or outside in the streets because what really matters to me (about Social Work) is to be in direct contact with people and its needs. And you can do that, as a professional, at an office, writing papers about a real dispute that people told you about in a meeting or something, or you can do that talking with the neighbours around your workplace and making something about it. Both are fine to me in order to be useful for them. About the children, I think that they are persons with rights and opinion, and they know more about their own lives that we can write about. So it's really important to ask them about their needs, their worries and their problems and I think that my profession is all about facilitating ways to make this conversation a little easier in order to get solutions about a particular issue. Besides, children make everything possible. It's an easy age to talk about changes in the world. Unfortunately, in this country, childhood is hard and it's unfair in many ways. And we have to do something about it. Knowing, of course, that we are not changing the whole overall situation (to avoid frustrating thoughts) but we are doing something with all our privileged knowledge in order to make this world better. I imagine that this work would be hard and sometimes a little sad, but with lots of love from the people you'll meet. That's my hope and my dream for now. Maybe tomorrow I will be working in a syndicate or in a project about social organizations, but I don't really know.

Oh! And I almost forgot to tell you that I would love to take some major in work-related contents and also about childhood and social class.
