Changes to my study programme

Being on this university it's a very strange thing. Almost everybody thinks that it's education and it's infrastructure are excellent. I used to think that too, but when you are into this, the reality it's very different. I know that the theme of funding is very complex, but University of Chile has a lot of aspects to improve.

One of them is curriculum map. I think that this institute has the necessity to modernize the subjects and the knowledge that it offers. Without a doubt the written journalism is very important, but with the social media revolution the skills that we need to communicate are getting bigger. Television, radio, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are more important than ever, so we have to adapt to this new digital language, and this institute too.

The second, are the green areas. I've never been in this campus until this year, and my thoughts were that this place would be very respectful with the trees, birds and biodiversity. But the reality is cruel and this place is becoming in a "cement jungle", which it makes me very sad. Students needs grass, and no car parks.

I know that we the students have a lot of demands, but I think that we can do something great for this university only with respectful meetings with the autothorities of this enormous institution.

An Artist you love: Virginia Woolf

The twentieth century was a very good time for literature. Even when the global context was very complex, with for example, the two world wars and the Cold War, the artists worked very hard to express themselves and to leave in testimony the difficult times which the humanity was going through. There were born a lot of movementes like the hippies, the punkies and the feminists. 

An incredible writter inspired this last movement, and her name was Virginia Woolf. She was born in in January 1989, in London, and since then, she is still one of the most influential woman on earth. With books like A Room of One's Own, Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse she became one of the greatest writters of the history, and thanks to her courage and rebelliousness she is still an inspiration
for million and million people around the world.

Her legacy is invaluable. In a time when woman were oppressed and censored, she wrote a lot of novels and essays to empower women with the art and the power of letters. Since I know her (the first time I read her I was 13) she became a truly idol to me.

I think everybody should read Virginia Woolf. Her work is more current than ever. We must know her, read her, and learn from her pain and her experience.
