Facso

Facso is more than a simple building...

Facso (and all the other places in the campus) is very special for me, ‘cause it has some kind of magic I coludn’t  explain, but I’ll try anyway J… I don’t know, maybe it’s just the JGM air that makes a change on everything, I mean, it’s such as if real world out there couldn’t make this places work with common laws of nature and society. When I got here the first time I thought I was coming inside Narnia!

People call this faculty ‘Macondo’, and there are some reasons to do it: As the real Macondo (the Marquez imaginary town), inside this place happen some strange things, things you wouldn’t see out there, as the collection of freak characters that you can find hanging around over here (as the ‘silver sword’ guys, who look as if they had been extracted from a ‘Lord of the Rings’ battle… beginner jugglers everywhere, or things like that). Anytime you can find an unexpected party, people drinking or smoking things you’ll never know where did they take them from, or a group of dogs playing a game of chess in the middle of the grass, moais talking with zombie-eating plants, psychodelic musicians on the walls, and lots of things I still don’t discover!

Places I love in Facso, are the edges of the windows (I use to sit down there to breathe deeply) and the gardens around the faculty. I’d like to work here, around Facso, to make grass grow in all the dry places, it would be wonderful! Although I don’t really like the front part of Facso, the one that face Ignacio Carrera Pinto Avenue.

A good thing about this place, is people that make it live: from caretakers and cooks, to teachers and students. Bad thing: I miss the sofa-beds that we had here in Winter, they never should have take them away!!!

I think I really love the faculty, an all the campus. Gomez Millas is the best place to be J

Canada

If there’s a country I’d really like to know, it’s Canada. Why? I don’t really know the reasons why :B Maybe because people there speak both languages I like the most: English and French. I don’t speak French, but I’d love to.

Well, I know almost nothing about Canada, there’s just one Canadian rock band I’ve listened to (The Arcade Fire), and I know just one person that has lived there. I know that Canadian climate is cold, and that people there use to be relaxed. That’s why Canada seems interesting: If I were living there, I could live a quiet life, that’s my daydream. I know it could sound stupid, ‘cause there’s a lot of places where I could have a quiet life.

Once there, I’d just like to have a simple job, woodcutter maybe, or any other job where I could have a close contact with nature. It’s just a fantasy, I know it won’t happen.

If I could live a couple of years there, I would like to learn to speak both languages. That’s all J

The strangest term of my life!

Well, it’s not the first time I must take a term on summer, it’s almost natural for me, because when I was on highschool I had strikes every year, but no one like this!

I never thought I could be involved on a six months strike, and though I feel I've learned a lot of things during this time, now I have to face this very short term, and I think I won’t learn all the academic things I should ‘cause we wont have enough time to do it :/

This term I’m taking seven subjects: Basic Psychological Processes, Personality Psychology, Basic Learning Processes, Epistemology, Sociology, Statistics and English4. I really think I won’t pass all of them (or maybe I will, but that will be very hard).

I don’t really care about studying in christmas or new year (I think it’s just a pair of normal dates), but it’s so unconfortable to being studing in summer, because of the heat ._. The only solution I see is to make water-bombs wars on breaks or come to the university naked :D

The other thing I don’t like about having classes at summer, is that I don’t have time enough to share with my girlfriend, and that situation worries me. As a conclusion: I hate this term >.<
