First month at the FAU

When I entered to architecture was very weird, because before i had been studying anthropology for a year, so the ambient change affected me. In anthropology I was on a only one big campus  in which were all schools,  but FAU is just one school, so I think it's quite small. Here we are very tight, and sometimes we need more classrooms. When i decided study architecture I knew that it would be very hard, but i never thought that it would be so hard. However I heard that it's just the first year. The first days of class were really very exciting,  I already wanted to draw and go visit places of santiago that I didn't know. So after a week  it happened and i was very happy for that. But obviously the work was not as simple as I mention.


In the first few weeks I have met very funny people. That's one of the things I liked in FAU, my classmates are very good people in comparation with my Antropology classmates. Unfortunately I missed the party of the first week of school, because I decided to visit the city and when I arrived to FAU they were closing the doors. Therefore for the next party I will try to arrive as early as I can. Studying in another city has been an totally enriching experience, but also very hard. I'm from Talca, where also are the career of architecture so obviously my parents wanted that I study there, in home. 
However, I don't discard the possibility to change of university,  because here I have a lot of expenses on materials and here also I need to pay for an apartment and another survival things. 
Anyways, I liked architecture, I wanted study this because I think that is a very holistic discipline and if ever i get bored, I can do another thing related with this discipline.

Mountain Holidays

This holiday was very weird. I made a lot of plans, mostly I wanted make autostop to go to travel to the north. I had been prepared for a long time to the adventure, I worked for have some money and I bought the necessary implements, but the friends that supposedly would go with me, told me at the last minute that they would not go. I thought go alone but i not felt prepared for that situation, so a I spent the money in other things, that sincerely I don't remember -may be in some parties-. But I did not give up, I made a second holiday plan. As I had bought a lot camping stuff, I decided to go to explore the mountains of the seventh region of the country -basically because I lived in that zone-. I knew some of them, but this time I wanted to venture more deeply in this mountains. This adventure excited to some of my friends, so we went for three days to the natural reserve of "Altos de Lircay". More precisely we went to "The Despalmado Waterfall" and "The Enladrillado".After that -in February- I went to ViƱa del Mar with my family, but honestly I got bored a lot. However, the most part of my vacaction I started organize me for the move to Santiago, so I had been looking some apartment to live and that kind of things. Therefore, since this moment I'm preparing myself for this next summer go to the South making autostop, not maybe, I will.

I always belived that a good architect, in fisrt place, needs to be a very holistic person. Whit this I mean that he should be interesting for all disciplines, from maths and fisic to art and history. I say that because the architecture is a very complemental discipline. In second place, I think that a good architect needs have a lot of observation skills for understand the spaces so in this way he can transform it. Then he must have
