Free Topic: The trumpet, my favorite instrument.

 Playing this instrument relaxes me a lot so I do it at least once a day without fail. I usually do it in my room or in the dining room of my house, if we were in normal times I think I would be playing in some square in a band that I plan to form. The fact of playing trumpet I think it helps me to express what I can't say in words, the vibration makes my body to be in harmony with the outside. I could say that it is a therapy in times of pandemic, if I feel very anxious I distract myself from the studies improvising some happy or sad song depending on how I feel. 


Something important I could mention, is that what inspired me to play this instrument was a song by chet baker called almost blue, which I listened to over and over again in my adolescence. Also miles davis was one of my references, with his rhythms and chaotic and innovative composition.

my english language challenges during this period.

Imagen
What I have liked the most about this experience of learning English at the university is that through the blogs I can expand my vocabulary in this second language. Another remarkable thing is that it has also helped me to detach myself a little from my career and think about, for example, vacations or things I like to do, relieving my anxiety a little bit. One of the aspects that I would like to improve in my English skills is to develop more vocabulary related to my career: sociology. For this, I think that more than talking to people, it is to read famous newspapers and renowned magazines in the social sciences.  On the other hand, outside of English classes I practice my English by reading international news and social science magazines. I also do it by watching videos that explain music theory. In my hobbies when I'm a bit stressed, I read English lyrics of my favorite songs and do a mini karaoke.

 The way I chose my career was quite peculiar. In the sense that all my life I prepared myself both mentally and academically to study mechanical engineering or astronomy. during high school I took physics electives and did physics math tests, you could say that during those four years I did one or two PSU tests in total of language and history.  However, at home I used to have a passion for reading and politics in general, I would check out history books from my father's library. In my family it was not very valued to study humanistic careers because of its reduced field of work and offers in the job market. However, days before choosing which career to put as my first option to enter a university, I talked to an uncle to guide me regarding the difficult decision, and he ended up convincing me to choose the career of sociology.  So far, in the three years I have been studying sociology, I have really liked it. The texts I used to read as a hobby are now part of my curric...

the best holidays I've had

 I could say that the best vacation I ever had was in Argentina, Bariloche. I remember at that time I was around 15 years old (2014), we went with my family in February of that same year. As at that time we lived in the north, we were very passionate about the idea of going by car to be able to visit the forested towns of southern Chile before crossing the border, and as you can imagine it took us quite a while (a week to get there). When we finally arrived in Bariloche, we stayed for a whole week, and taking advantage of the low dollar and the Argentinean peso, we were able to stay in the best hotel in town and visit restaurants that offered delicious food on their menus. The first day we went to an ice rink to skate, and then we went to a chocolate store and bought all kinds of flavors and colors. The other days we strolled through the streets, watched street artists play tango and drank mate with my brothers next to a cathedral. Anyway, more than anything I consider it the best ...
