Winter Holidays

I've been in this university around six years and me and everyone I know think vacations are a myth or a custom lost in history. I get here in 2012 and my only winter holidays happened in 2014. I think I'm already used to the stress and pressure of trying to fit 2 month of classes and exams in 1 week. I remember that in 2013 my semester finished a Wednesday and the next one started the next day. To sum up, my memories of Winter Holidays suck.

I have to say: I enjoy that glorious Winter Holidays of 2014. I didn't go anywhere, but I spend a lot of time playing with my dog (He died next year) and viewing series and movies in my bed. Is the right opposite of I usually do, but I wish i could do it again.

I lost hope of having vacations in university (anyway I don't care so much, but thinking like that is bad), but till now this year maybe (just maybe) will be different. There is no strike at sight or any kind of occupation, so maybe I could pass my subjects with confidence that any irregularity will affect us. Finally I will plan my lonely trip to Punta Arenas or maybe with 1 or 2 friends. Is something I've been planning since I work last summer in Correos Chile. My cousins live there so i will not spend in a residency or something like that. My final objective is go over Torres del Paine.

Postgraduate Studies...

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to write about my desire of having a post-grade in a near future.

As I already said, I study sociology, so, the number of course I can take is enormous and varied. It is a bit difficult to choose between any of the options that my university offers me. Luckily, last year I realised I don't like any of these options. I consider them lame. Many are useful, but there are to much people already studying these course or to much people are going to be in these course, so it will be overpopulated soon.

The postgraduate course I want to take is not imparted by my university or any other. It's call "Master in International Relationship, Security and Defence" and it's given by the ANEPE (Academia Nacional de Estudios Políticos y Estratégicos), an institution that answer to the Ministry of Defence. Commonly, these kind of studies are set aside and no one try to integrate in the Academy.

I want to make something useful with my studies and I think this post-grade will be a great idea. Normally, a lot of people think these matters are for conservative people, but obviously they are wrong. If we don't re-take themes like Security or Defence, problems like Mapuche conflict will continue without a real solution and the State Terrorism will never end

This is a bad interpretation and application for the concept of security >:(

My future job!!

Today I'm going to talk about my future job, or the job I expect I would have in the future.

I'm studying sociology and i like Public Policy area. Basically to me, is the method the sociologist have to contribute in a physically way to real world problems. Besides this, I've another interest i would like to mix with public policies and is Security and Defense themes. I think is a topic a lot of people avoid or simply dislike because existing of a lot of prejudice about it.

With these interests I expect working in a municipality helping to solve problems like how we are treating crime, inclusion or immigrant's issue. As Sociologist we have a lot to contribute, but there are not so many of us who investigate these stuff so it will be a difficult task to achieve.
In the Municipalities I would have to work with COREs, which job is make the people participate in their community, and think public policies to improve the quality of life of people.

If this didn't work for me I want another job. I want to dedicate to cook. Not necessary be a chef, but cook and gain the necessary to live doing my hobby. Maybe work in a bakery or any like that. At least is more funny than sociology jeje
