"MY FAVORITE BOOK"


When I was in school I used to read more books than what I do now, maybe it is because I had more time to do things I like doing than the time I have now being at the University. I haven't read many books in my life, but some of the books I have read are Harry Potter, The Fault in our stars, The Notebook, and Pretty Little Liars. I dont know which is my favorite author, although I like the writting of Sara Shepard a lot, who writes the series of Pretty Little Liars, and I also like J. K. Rowling's writting, who writes Harry Potter.
I like to read books about suspension, and drama, I feel that they are more interesting than other genres, and that kind of genre makes me keep reading it till I finally finish the book, not even realizing how fast I have read it. Both this series, Pretty Little Liars like Harry Potter have a theme that makes people keep reading this books and learn something from them.
I can say that my favorite books are the once of Harry Potter and Pretty Little Liars, both are very good books, which makes them very popular nowadays.
As I said, I have not read books from a long time, so I honestly don't remember which was the last book I read, but the once I mentioned before are really good and I really recommend it if someone hasn't read it yet.

For me books are better than movies. Books can let you imagine the setting or events happening in the story. They are also more detailed than movies because movies sometimes leave out some important details. Other thing that I don't like much about movies is that they tend to last about two hours and books take their time and last longer, which I feel is better so that you can take your time with the book you like.

POST 6 >> POSTGRADUATE STUDIES


This is something I have not thought about it enough, so I don't know much what to say, I have got some ideas though of what I want to study after I finish Architecture. Well I have three more years to finish my studies, and I am thinking of going abroad for my postgraduate studies, maybe England, or Spain, or maybe wherever I have got the opportunity in going. I have thought of Spain because is beautiful, I have friends over there studying Architecture that have told me that is a life experience and that everyone should try in going at least once. You can get more knowledge in what is Architecture, a new perspective, the different culture and traditions of constructions. I even have family over there, which makes it a lot more easier for me to live there. I have also thought of England because my cousin has also studied Architecture like me, and now he is doing a one year course in England, which I find it amazing as well, just to have an idea of what is like to be outside of Chile. 
As I said, I am not so clear yet of what I want to study for my postgraduate studies, but I know that is going to be something related to Architecture, maybe interior designing, or graphic design, or maybe something related with computer programs we use in Architecture. I would also like to take a course in MBA, which it means Masters in Bussiness Administration, so that I can have a more global idea and vision of what is business, which I think that can help me in the future when I start working. 
I love mathematics and designing, so those are two of the courses I would definitely do. Other things I like and would take a course in is Construction and Structure of buildings, I find it really interesting and would love to learn more about what I already know. I think I would like to have a part-time course, because if I study abroad I would like to have also time for myself to get to know the city and be able to travel alot in my surroundings.

MY FUTURE JOB


Well, I haven't thought yet what kind of job I would like to have, but it is definitely something related to Architecture, well it is the idea because I am studying this. I imagine myself with a job working in an office with a lot of people and getting to meet new people every day. I guess I would like to have the experience of working outdoors and indoors, although I think I would finally prefer to work outdoors. 
I love to travel, and I have the idea to keep doing it when I finish my studies and start working. I hope to get a job where I need to travel and to get the chance to meet new places. It's one of the reasons I decided to study Architecture. Or maybe have a job where I have the flexibility to travel at least once a year to a place far away for vacations. People with jobs nowadays have only two weeks of vacations per year, which I feel is very little in comparison with my three months vacations I still have, so I hope to get a job where I get to travel more often and hopefully more than just 2 weeks.
About the salary I just hope is enough for me and the family I plan to have in the future, and of course to be able to travel now and then, also I would like to have a job where they don't explode me with work 7/24 to make a living. 

I am still not in my major although I have thought of doing it abroad, like in Spain, I even have family over there so it won't be so hard living there I guess. I want to do something related to construction and sustainable architecture because I love designing and want to be able to do it with materials that will stay in time perfectly. 
My plan is to work abroad, many England or Germany, just to get the chance to learn more than what is in Chile.
