Blog 5: My future job

I am currently working on a Chilean music radio show called Estación Local, where I lead a small section in which I talk about new and emerging Chilean music. Besides that, one of the things that I really enjoy doing for the program is organize and produce events outside of the studio: illustration’s fairs and small festivals. So in the future I would love to create or work in a cultural management organization that allows me to produce this type of events on a larger scale.
I love working outdoors, but I don’t mind working indoors either. In fact, a lot of the works that I do for Estación Local is at the Radio JGM’s studios, but my favorite part of working on the show, as I said, is produce events outside of our studio.
I would love to have the chance to travel because of my job. I like the idea of meeting new and talented people from all around the world, sharing our experiences and inspire us to create new things.
In terms of the salary, I just hope to have enough money to solve my needs and keep creating spaces in which music, art and equality are always the center. Sometimes it can be difficult to get quality sound equipment or a big place with great acoustic, but I’m convinced that there are always ways to get these projects done if you are surrounded with enthusiastic people.
For example, I know a girl who after being kicked out of her job she decided to create a cultural agency from scratch, her partner quit his job too and they started this project with little shows and fairs at the living room of their own house. And now, almost one year after their project began, they organize festivals with more than 200 attendees per show!

So I would love to study something related to cultural development or anything that allows me and give me more educational tools to create.

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies In terms of my postgraduate studies I’m still figure it out because I have more than one option. For example, I would like to know more about gender studies; in fact I’m interested on doing my thesis related to communication with a gender approach or something related to the drag queen culture. Also, I really enjoy writing, so I would love to study a degree associated to creative writing and maybe in the future be able to work as a scriptwriter. And on the other hand, I really like the course that ICEI offer about Communication and Cultural Management. I like the idea of creating my own cultural agency and work on development projects related to encourage Chilean art; so as you can read I’m a little bit all over the place. One thing that I know for sure is that I would love to study anything on other country, but I’m not in a rush so I think maybe I study something here in Chile first (besides my actual career) and then I would make plans to go outs

Blog 10: English language challenges

Imagen
About my experience learning English at university I think that only four levels to learn the language it’s not enough.  As journalists we need to know how to speak and understand fluid English, to be prepared when we need to spoke with someone who is from another country, because it seems that English has positioned itself as the world’s language. About the use of the blogs I think it would be more useful if we discuss the topics in groups in contrast to writing by ourselves. We would give feedback to each other and we would learn from the discussion and from our classmate’s perspectives. Personally, I think I need to improve my pronunciation and how to conjugate the words. I guess by speaking in English with others it’s the better way to learn quickly and improve more easily my flaws. I know the existence of groups in Santiago that, at least four times a month, get together to speak only and exclusively English to progress with their pronunciation and vocabulary. I would love to

Blog 4: Jimmy´s Hall Review I don’t love the film, but I don’t hate it either. I think the plot is great and knowing that is based on a true story make it more interesting.  And as I said in the last entrance, I don’t know that much about the Irish’s history, so I always appreciate learning new stuff thought a film.   My favorite character has to be Jimmy’s mother. She was so sweet and funny and also she reminds me of my grandmother, specially the scene when she pretended to lose the key so she could help Jimmy escape. One thing that I really liked about the film was all the landscapes and locations. Since the last movie that we saw,” The Wind That Shakes The Barley”, I was amaze by all the green on their fields, a color that I don’t see often in Santiago. In the other hand, I think the movie was really slow and I get lost and bored sometimes. My favorite scene was the contrast between the moment when all the people was dancing and singing at Jimmy’s Hall on opposition to s
