Part IV - The Truman Show

I really like this movie, because make me think about the life and my environment.

"The Truman Show" is a movie about a man, called Truman, whose entire has been televised without his knowledge. His whole life is a TV show, and he doesn't know.

The town where he lives was built specially for him, and all the people who live there are actors. The movie start with interviews with the actors (of the movie, not the real life) that are playing the characters in the Truman's life. They said the show isn't just an acting job, that it's a lifestyle, nothing itś fake, it's merely controlled.

The show, apparently, gives hope and life to people who need. Truman is a dreamer, he wants to be an adventurer, but only we know he's been trapped.

The movie is based on The Allegory of the Cave, by Platon. It's tell us about our knowlegde about the world and the people around us. Since we born, we are in a cavern, and the shadows that we see is our reality. 

I recommend it. I cried with happines, and I love the details.



Part III - My favourite piece of technology

It's my tablet. Since I bought it, all my homeworks and study hours are easier. 

I decided to buy it cause, in my personal opinion, works for me. I like to do the work faster, more functional and prettier, aesthetically. Honestly, it's a whim, almost a caprice, but it's not like a pretty thing for decorate; the tablet is for work and study in anywhere, whithout a full bag.

I can use it like a mini computer. It's more limited for other functions, but it works. My summaries are easier to make with colors and images. I can edit the proffesor's material study for my convenience, and create my own material study.

Also, I can use a "double screen". The tablet can divide the screen in two, or three, or whatever you want. I can see my video class and write in my notes in the same time. 

The disadvantages could be storage. The computer could have 500 GB and my tablet only 128 GB. I can dowload heavyweight programs, or games, although I don't use for it. I try to focus its use in my studies.



Part II - My holidays

In January and February I was in a travel, in a course and in the beach.

First, I had to study Mechanization. I failed it in my 4th semester and I talked to my proffesor for take it in summer. It was difficult, cause I don't like this subject, but I had to prevent delay my others subjects. Also, it´s requisite for my career.

Then, I had the opportunity to visit Valdivia and Talca. My boyfriend's cousin was going to married in Valdivia, so I was a additional guest. The wedding was pretty, and we could visit some interest places of Valdivia, like Corral, Niebla and Lago Ranco, where I could do kayaking.

Later, we go to Talca, for visit my boyfriend's family. It was less interesting, because all the family contracted COVID-19, including me. I was sick only for...¿2 days? (so weird), but the others members of the house are worse.

Finally, and only with my boyfriend, we meet with my family in Algarrobo, and we could enjoy the beach, play tennis and eat churros, until my boyfriend gets sick, with fever and nausea, and we take him to Santiago.

Part I - My little autobiography

My name is Valeria, but I like to be called Valu, because the people, frecuently, confuse my name with Valentina.
I'm chilean, and I live in Santiago. I grew up and studied in Quilicura the most part of my life.
In 3rd year of high school I decided to study Agronomy. I have something special with the nature, and with the idea of being useful for the society.
I've a lot of hobbies, but some of they were paused, or abandoned. My favourite hobbies are write and read books. In fact, if I hadn't know about Agronomy, I would have chosen Literature, but I realised that it's not my passion.
I never had a special pleasure for any gender musical. I just listen to music that I think is good, specially that song that makes me dance or feel something.

Anyways. I'm a normal person, and it's my first blog. Enjoy it!

Changes to my study programme

  I want to start this blog saying this campus isn't qualified for people that use wheelchair, and it's the first I like to change. ...
