Changes to my study place

From an academic and infrastructural point of view, as a sound engineering student, we lack study spaces and rooms that are large enough for the number of students on the course. We have a small computer room and not all the computers work properly.

The existence of more toilets, both for men and for women, as more and more of us are part of the study area.

Other aspects of the career are the internships. Although I haven't done my first one yet, they have started to inform us about it and I think it's complex that they can't provide jobs and that as students we have to get them by our own means. 

If we mobilise ourselves for more sectors of the faculty, the canteen could be bigger and have more microwaves so that at lunchtime there are no long queues to heat the food. There should also be better electrical connections so that the power is not cut when all the microwaves are working at the same time.

In case of an emergency, the presence of fire extinguishers. 

I would like the building to be more colourful, because for me it is not an artistic space, the fact that it is a vertical space and not horizontal makes it impossible to share with other colleagues from other artistic professions. The lack of green spaces makes the situation a little bit more complicated.

Time travel to...

I believe if offer me to travel in the time for change my past or see my future, I wouldn't. I believer that the things happen because fall to happen. All that mystic and the universe.

But if offer me for meet the history of the civilization, the empires, the arts, I would gladly accept.

I imagine the travel like the program "Algo habrán hecho por la historia de Chile", where the presenter, travel to the past for witness the landmark over the years, but without intervene. Even the presenter were giving details to understand the situations.

To be able to see with my own eyes the construction of various monuments like the Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower, the Roman Colosseum, or how the Moai statues on Easter Island were made. To witness how painters created the famous paintings displayed in the Louvre or to listen to the compositions of countless artists when they were first performed, using instruments of the time like the harpsichord.

But I would like it to be just a travel; obviously, I would return to living my current life. I think it's a great to live in the present and see how you grow, how opportunities and learning experiences unfold. Sometimes, it´s also refreshing to look back at the past and see how far you hace come, as well as to project yourself into the future and see the various possibilities you have to reach that desired future.

My future job

I would like to work in a happy and constant learning environment, I think that now it would be on the radio, listening to music of various genres all day, it seems a good idea.

Obviously the radio stations are indoors, but on certain occasions, they have outdoor events, at the Chilean radio concessionaire, for national holidays, they all get together and broadcast outdoors.

I think I would like to travel to have the opportunity to learn about other topics, such as production software, work machinery, microphones, speakers, reinforcement techniques, among others.

The world of music production is constantly changing and that’s so interesting.

As a sound engineering student, I really like how my career is progressing because there are opportunities to learn more things that will soon serve to professional and work development. It is a mix between science, arts and mathematics. Many times it seems difficult but it is achieved with patience and effort, added to the support of mates who have very similar aspirations, we are giving each other momentum.

I feel anxious about getting to do professional internships, I like the idea of ​​putting into practice most of the things I have learned and also learning about others.

I hope to be surrounded by music my whole life and be able to enjoy it.

In my free time

P.D: The transfer from one device to another took too long, I hope you like the video.

Luis Miguel - Tour 2023

In spite that I have been to concerts previously, I can say that this was my first concert ever. I had the chance to go for my birthday, a deed of the universe because getting a ticket was difficult. I waited from 9 A.M and finally, at 4 P.M I bought mine.

The "Movistar Arena" full of people who liked Luis Miguel´s music is at another level, it was amazing because they gave us some bracelets that turned on when he started singing.

I loved the performance, the live orchestra and the artist of course. My heart said "it´s him" when he went on stage.

He came out on a kind of elevator, with a sun behind him, obviously because he is the "Sol de Mexico".

Forming a choir with other people is a completely beautiful experience, all living the same emotion of happiness.

I think if I had the opportunity of going again to other of his concerts I would do it absolutely willingly. I expect to be in first row this time.

Italy, the country of Pastas

I don´t know if I want to travel to Italy for its architecture, for the language or its food, but this country is probably my best option. I´ve heard that their pastas are delicious and their tiramisu is on a great level.

The language is not difficult to learn because it is similar to the Spanish, for the same reason I could go in an exchange  program to learn and meet the country.

I would love to visit the Roman Coliseum and imagine all activities that were made, the fights or concerts of Opera. 

And I would love to visit Venice, take a ride through the canals, and visit Pisa Tower too, the tourists say that if you are in this Tower, you can´t keep totally in hold.

Obviously, try each one of their dishes, such as raviolis, tortellini, spaghetti and pizza, I believe that the pizza stone is one of dishes that I want to try to taste, all the world loves pizza. Italy has the real pizza.

Would you like visit to Italy?

A place to study math

The career doesn´t have a specific website, you have to search on your own. But not all is lost, I bring a channel to study math

Matefacil is a Youtube channel where you can study all topics of math that you need. I visit this channel very often in the week to learn math theory and to exercise for the tests.

I like this page because I can find the explanation of every subject, exercise with many examples and review the results. I recommend it to study math quickly and easily, because the duration of videos is short.

The fantastic garlic sticks

My favorite food is Garlic stick.

Originally from the United States. 

It consists of a stick-shaped baked dough to which a butter, garlic and cheese sauce is added in addition as well as spices

The place that prepares them, adds a tomato sauce to spread the stick on it, producing a rich mixture of flavors

In general, I like garlic in preparations. For me the garlic sticks are exquisite, I can´t explain in words how much I love them, I just love them.

Actually, it´s not very healthy to eat garlic sticks often, due to all the condiments it has, since in the long run it is bad, and in general fast food is bad for the health

If you still do not try the garlic sticks, I invite you to do so, especially in Papa John´s, I have tried elsewhere and those are not as rich as this place.

My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology is my cell phone. 

I have all kind of apps in it and in my galery of pictures I have some of my favorite memories, so I can carry them everywhere. I use my phone almost all the time, for many things, like calling my mom, searching information for a class, check "U-cursos", playing games of puzzles, sent messages of love to my boyfriend. 

When I need to study, it's a distraction because of the sound of notifications, but I use "Do not disturb" mode, that silence all notifications.

I think that the cell phone is important, to communicate in case of an emergency or just to be in touch with our love ones. Some devices count your steps or measure your stress during the day. It is necessary for this fast and busy life.

Why did you choose your major?

When I was a child a had a lot of dreams and a lot of options for study, I wanted to be a teacher, a veterinary, a doctor and a dancer, but the ideas has change.

I wanted to study a career in the healt area, but things didn´t go that way. I took a gap year and I decided to study singing as a hobby. I heard about the career through my teacher and I felt it was for my, I imagined myself producing music and connecting cables at live events. Music and arts have always been part of my life and these are my true passions.

I love going to class and seeing my friends, it makes me happy to learn new things, such as music production applications or sound reinforcment

Who i am?

 Hello! My name is Sofia Mardones, and i‘m your classmate.

For now, I’m a Sound Engeneering student, I like the career but i dislike calculus classes, it is bit difficult. And as good student of Sound, I love music and I listen  to all type of music but i prefer “cebollera” music, the interpretation of artists makes me feel ecstatic. 

I adore Selena Quintanilla and if you want, you can listen to  “Como la “Flor”, the song that became her a star. Luis Miguel is another one of my favorite artists, you can listen to “Suave” or “Hoy el aire huele a ti”.

Also I like reading,but for time issues I don't read usually, the last book i read was “La Balada de los Pájaros cantores y Serpientes” it is a prequel of the “Los Juegos del Hambre” and I’m waiting for the movie, which is going to be released in November.

My most recent hobbie is to spend time with my bird, because it’s a little bird and needs so much love

I hope that we meet more in person!

Goodbye classmate
