My first month at FAU

I decided to study architecture because the career really took my attention, I wasn’t really sure about what do I want to do, in fact, I was between a lot of options, like vet, gastronomy, psychology or design. But I finally choose architecture for the point of view that you can give to your creations, it a very interesting way of show your ideas and make something that maybe will perish upon the time.
The first month at FAU has been really good, I meet a lot of people and the class often motivate me to keep in the career, well, maybe just some of them. I like FAU because is a free space for all people, with different opinions, likes and points of view. Some class are difficult and they often send a lot of work for home so that implies to spend a lot of time of the week or the weekend working, but it’s not so overwhelming because there is a lot of manual work in it and not have to spend much time in front of a book memorizing words. Manual work is fun but it can be very exhausting because sometimes you have to made a model three or four times and that implies spend a lot of time, money and energy soy at the end of the day the only thing that you wish is to stay in your bed resting to start again the next day.

In spite of all things that we have to do I have spent a very god month that has been very exhausting but also very fun in all ways, I hope it’s a good year for everyone and we can keep a rhythm of work to can complement college with our lives and not let any of them sideways.

My holidays

I spend almost all my vacations at Pichilemu working and living with friends in a house. I had to travel a lot to go to my house at San Fernando, at least it was not so far from Pichilemu. I made a lot of friends there, people that I steel see here in Santiago so it was a very good experience and I expect to do it again next summer. The time that I didn’t spend at Pichilemu I was at home helping my mom to take care of my little brother who is still a baby or I was at Santiago looking for a place to live this year. I was lucky to find a very good place before everything was full. At the end of my vacations I went to the south with my family an entire week, we went with my uncle, my aunt and their children, we could see a lot of things like the mapuche culture or the way that people live in south. I hope that we can go this year too or travel to another place to meet new places and culture. The best part of the summer was to can travel with my family because is not something that we do frequently, it was usseful to get better relations between us and trust more on eachothers.
