Hi teacher and classmates, today I am going to introduce myself, so, my name is Alfonso Zelaya, I was born in La Serena on January 26, 2001 but all of my life i lived in a small town called Nogales. I would not dare to say that my town is a dormitory town where people only live at night, because the population is mainly long-lived and the employment rates exist, but many people work in other nearly towns and it is the case of my parents for which I always studied in other towns especifically in Calera on my first 3 years and in Quillota for the rest of my school years, In total i studied in 4 schools, yeah, I know that its a lot but I have good memories of all of them and i keep friends of all of these. Two of these changes were my parents's desition, and the final change it was my decision and I changed in 4to medio.

It was in that year, 2018, my last year in school, that I decided to start to play some instrument, i always love music but I never attempt to play any instrument, but this year, I dont now, it was like an a epiphany, a insight moment or whatever pretencious name that you want to give it, I decided to buy a drums, i worked all the summer as a packaging in a supermarket and I bought it, obviosly, I didnt know how to learn it and I didnt  now if I was going to like it, but fortuntely I love it.

During this year I play a lot, and there were many musicians in that school so my first experience was on the best stage, playing with people.I always knew that i didnt want to got into university soon as I finished school, and playing drums gave a meaning to that year that I wanted to reflect ( I really hate the term "año sabatico") and in this year i took classes with a teacher to learn in a formal way.

 Despite my taste for music, my previous interests were linked to urban studies and society and also I like maths but I did not want to study something so technical, so I decided to enter to study architecture,  and I also wanted to find myself with an artistic look that I had forgotten, because in my childhood I liked to paint and draw a lot. 

The career made me appreciete cinema more than before so in my free time I like to watch movies and Im still having class of drums so I practice in the free moments.

The quarantine has made us do new things and in my case I liked to learn to bake, so this is a new thing that i like to do when i have time, so, if we finf ourselves when the pandemic end, probably I will have a few more kilos than in the zoom photo.

 Music Since the pandemic I started the habit of listening to at least 1 album a day, it is something that totally takes me out of my routine, it is my ritual. The album I listened yesterday was philos by Park Jiha, an interesting work that mixes the fleeting nature of ambient with samples of different artists. Movies The other day I went to the Normandie cinema to see the movie that I think brings in tears  even to the harshest fascist. La memoria infinita, another masterpiece by maite alberdi that left me amazed. Blog I plan to travel to Germany in the summer and I started to learn German very very very very slowly. The two pages that I have occupied this time have been nicos Weg, which is a very interactive website to practice and the Easy German YouTube channel where I can familiarize myself with the language in a more fluid way. Without a doubt these two spaces have helped many people who have decided to migrate or learn the language. Museum Unfortunately I couldn't be in Sant

BLOG 4 - My dream job

Imagen
 Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about what our ideal job would be, what topics we would like to investigate in the future, which I don't think is bad, in this way we are exploring our tastes and interests. But the reality is that you never know what you will find on the way, and I am not talking about destination, I mean that interests and tastes are constantly changing and it is something natural and I think that being closed to an idea does not allows exploration. In my case, studying architecture I have found many topics that I would like to investigate or work on in the future, and more and more topics are appearing, and I suppose that in the 4 years that I have left in my career, more and more will appear. So thinking about an ideal job at this point I think is unnecessary, even so I would like to share certain things that I imagine for the near future. Despite not being my ideal job as an architect, I would like to work for a couple of years in an architecture offic

Language

In terms of languages, Latin America has such a poor level of English because it is not really a necessity. With the exception of Brazil we all speak the same language. In addition to this, the English classes taught at school prioritize the writing and listening part over the speaking part. In my case, I have had English classes since I was 4 years old, I can read, listen and write English and make myself understood. However, since I do not have the need to be understood by another person who speaks another language, my spoken skills are very bad. Despite this, I think I can make myself understood. The easiest thing I find about the English language is being able to be understood despite not having such an extensive vocabulary or handling so many strictly rules.  Even so, there are certain accents that are difficult for me to understand and this is precisely the part that complicates me. The movies have trained me to understand the most common and sometimes stereotyped accents, but th
