STRESS and more STRESS

At the moment someone tells you that they are studying architecture you instantly think about all the stress related with the career. Everyone thinks that when a student of architecture says that she/he is stress they are exaggerating. But the truth is they are not; the career involves a class called workshop, this class takes all of your time and is the most important one, without saying the others aren´t important. So the management of the time is the key for success.

At the beginning workshop is overwhelming, but do not let that stop you. They are many ways to manage the stress that the career involved; one way is learn how to organize your times, that sounds an easy way to do it, but if you don´t know how to do it workshop could be a real nightmare. Don’t get me wrong workshop can be the worst and the best class in the career, that is because you suffer with all the assignments, but in the end is where you learn more about architecture.

One advice is although you have to focus in workshop don´t let the career consume your life, no matter what make a little of time for yourself, go out with your friends or just relax in your house without thinking want you have to do for the next assignment. But the most important thing over all the others is get some time for SLEEP.

Best Holidays EVER

The winter of 2015 my family decided to travel to Europe for the holidays. At first I did not believe it; it was like a dream come true. Since I was little the only thing that I wanted to do was visit the Eiffel tower in Paris, France.

At first we arrived in France where my dream of been in the top of the Eiffel Tower came true… finally, then we travel around Europe visiting Italy, Croatia, Spain and others that I do not remember. In each one of this countries are amazing cities that are worth it to visit, like Rome, Florence and Venice in Italy or Paris and Versailles in France, also Barcelona and Madrid in Spain. I remember that at the first moment that I arrived in Barcelona I was amazed with the architecture of Gaudi. In that trip I had the opportunity of learning about the culture of different countries all around the world, and it was a wonderful moment for me and my family, that is almost impossible that someday I would forget about it.

This was also the best holidays ever because it was one of the last that I could spend with my grandfather.

Italy

My biggest dream is someday travel to Italy by my own. When I was little my family went to Europe for holidays, at the very first moment I fall in love with the culture and landscapes of Italy, one of the countries that we visit in that journey, so I promised to myself that when I was older I would come back to Italy.

Now, because I started studying architecture, I want most than anything accomplishes that promise that I did to myself, in my opinion Italy has one of the most amazing architecture in their buildings, especially in Rome where there are tons of ruins that demonstrate the magnificence of the old days architecture. Venice is also part of the most amazing cities in Italy that is because instead of roads the city has canals where instead of cars they have gondolas.

I would love to go into an exchange in Italy so I could learn about their culture and history and also travel and lived the experience of living around the historical buildings that we all know about. 

Music & Cinema

Cinema

I remember that my absolutely favorite movie when I was a child was "Monsters Inc." because that was the first movie that I went to see at the cinema. My mom used to tell me that I wasn’t sacred at all in comparison with my brother, he was so sacred of the principal character of the movie Sully that he has to leave the cinema with my father. I enjoyed that movie so much that I was able to see it every weekend without getting bored. I saw it that many times that I was able to complete the dialogs between the characters.

Now my interests have changed a little, my favorite movies are the comedy ones or de horror films. I think now I don’t have a favorite movie in specific, I just enjoy the fact of going to the cinema with my friends and see any kind of movie. But I have to say that sometimes I like to remember my childhood by watching a movie that I used to watch when I was little, in specific Monsters Inc.
