This time also I have to choose the topic of what to talk about. Speak of a personal matter and end with an invitation.
In recent times I have been working on a project awarded University Fondo Azul, which is why I had to miss several classes including English. What I have been doing with a peer group is mounting a play called "Madre Coraje y sus hijos" written by Bertolt Brecht. The university through this fund has financed the assembly costs and it sounds wonderful work has also been quite difficult to relate to the bureaucracy and university administrative disorder. But still have enough money for expenses has been very comfortable.
Agreeing with the actors to make the design of the work was quite difficult too, because my friends wanted to make a design proposal unconventional and bold but the actors had a more conservative view of the work, which made ​​it incompatible place the characters in the space that we the designers proposed. For this reason and time we had to compromise and the result was a mixture of the two ideas were, but for us it was not as satisfying as only we choose to see our design cute, abandoned all talk.
This situation generates enough sadness I may sound exaggerated, because the work that has been done has spent much time and stress, and it has caused problems with the assists even if permission from the management to do so.
Yet all is not so terrible, I can always say I got something positive out of this process, as I learned new things.

To end, I leave all guests for next Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 at 20.00 hours in Siré Augustine to see "Madre Coraje y sus hijos"

This time the theme of which I speak is a choice, it is a bit difficult because I would say several things but in English it's hard, so I'll opt for a topic not as controversial but not of my interest and perhaps some friends too. The subject I chose are tattoos, it is known that the art of tattooing the skin is very old, a while ago I read in wikipedia that a mummy found in the Alps dating from the second century after Christ and this mummy was fifty-seven tattoos on the back, but it is said that in this case did not have a reason as most of ritual tattoos, but the position in which they found could have therapeutic origin and occupying a place similar to acupuncture points .
Also Egyptian mummies found with tattoos, but in this case were the most tattooed are women and they served as symbols these tattoos protectors and as a way to interact with the gods.
But tattoos have usually been part of rituals of different cultures, such as the Polynesian, the East, the Latin American and also in North America.
Personally I like tattoos, I like to leave a historical record on the skin, I like being reminded of the past through a colored scar, so this year I got my first tattoo and I'm very happy about that.   c:

If you ask me which country I would go and see, you might respond that Thailand, because this place reminds me a lot of questions and imagine many adventures. I think it's an exotic and fun because it has an unusual architecture and beautiful landscapes with beaches and colorful vegetation.
if you ever travel to that place, I would not for work or study, but only to know the culture, see new and different things and share with people, for example I would like to spend the new year, enjoy the party in a totally different place. I would try the food, the flavors that have Thai cuisine. I would like to know some temple, study the architecture and relate cultural characteristics.
I like to travel alone sometimes, but I think I'm not ready for that, I like to share the experience of traveling, be silent watching the road, looking out the window, saying nothing but feeling at that moment is accompanied if you would travel to Thailand with my boyfriend, I think it would be very romantic to share an experience in a place like that. I will continue thinking and imagined travel there so that the energy to materialize and become reality.  <3

I have often thought about what would be my dream job, but I've never been able to define much, only that the ideal job for me is one that allows me to travel and experience new cultures and places while I work. Perhaps studying theater design'm on the right track, maybe I can become part of a company or a play and travel and presenting our work. I would love to do that sometime and really think I'm not far from doing. I think that to travel by presenting a play takes perseverance, willingness to work, courage, energy and creativity to solve all technical problems that may arise. Always in such cases and thus unforeseen occur one should not lose control of the situation, you should have an attitude positivia and propose solutions, I think that I have learned over time in all the jobs I've had, especially those related to theater, and you should always be solved what was not as expected. The only difficulty for this work is to sacrifice the time to share with friends and family, because the functions are always weekends or best seasons are on vacation, it is in those moments where there is more work. Therefore sometimes you can accept this situation or not. Therefore sometimes you can accept this situation or not, sometimes you can be working and feel sadness because they lost an important time with loved ones.
This is a decision that I must constantly be taking.

If you ask me for the last semester I can say that I worked hard and learned new things, so it was very tiring but also fun.
In March before going to school I worked for the second time in an art exhibition. But this time I took over the design of the exhibition and museology. I liked working there because I shared with my friends in my old career, Art theory, they gave me the opportunity to participate in this project and understand new things. Another aspect I like working there was that the works were created by visual arts students of the faculty of arts at university, so the exhibition was held in the MAC of the Quinta Normal, a large space in size and in importance , so I felt a lot of responsibility and enthusiasm. Now I can only think of positive things from that experience.
After that I returned to school classes, I was two weeks late, but I caught up as I am doing now, ahahahaha because I also had to miss this class by working in a university activity. 
Then, as I was relating, I went back to school, but I must say I did not learn much, just a new branch named audiovisual workshop in that class had to make a short film in teams, my team was formed only friends, for this reason it was fun working on this project. I also learned new things, never filmed anything, do not take a camera and knew how to work the light on the screen, but now I do and that makes me happy.
These are the things I learned last semester and I think are important to say ......  c:
