My Future job

Actually, I am studying Social Work and after one and a half year (despite the ups and downs) i become that the conclusion that is the correct carrier according to my ideals to criticize the dominant ideology, especially in Chile and despite the fact that this is a job at the mercy of the relationship between capitalism and the state I can do something good if I try hard.

The ideal job for me would be a combination between outdoors and indoors, in the line of making polls, work in the field, carrying out methodologies (this could be traveling to diferent regions of the country or complex territory, etc)  as well as an office where I can do research, theories and make statistics about the different social subjects i will be studying. In the matter of money I really don't care that much, but the kind of job I am hoping for is one that pay the necessary and be fair for the years I will be studying.

I hope that if everything goes as expected (under good terms and not another pandemic), to be able to become a magistrate in Social Work here at the Universidad de Chile or at the Universidad Catolica. I would also like to do a diploma in an unspecified subject of research to deepen, which may be related to children.

 I hope to be able to graduate in three and a half years (if the world don't explode) and be able to continue studying and have a good job either in a municipality, something specific from the government, companies, etc.

El Túnel

My favorite book is El Túnel, a novel written by Ernesto Sabato, the text is written from first person by the main character, Juan Pablo Castel who mainly interacts with Maria Iribarne.

The story begins as soon as Juan Pablo constantly meditates on the purpose of humanity, as well as how corrupt society has become. He believes that there is no such idea that could answer all his questions and that becomes the deep sensation of need, the need of someone, just the single possibility of someone to understand his thoughts. It is after this that we see the beginning of this novel when in one of his exhibitions of one painting Maternidad its observed by a woman that take a close look in specifically at the only drawing in the painting, which is a view from the window where an unknown women is seen looking directly at the beach, this amazes Juan Pablo and think that perhaps she could be the person who can really understand him.

This book is very dear to me because it was one of the first times in my life that i took a book out of the library to read and i was not very interested in reading, but as soon as i started reading i could not stop reading it, so i finished it in just two days. The interactions of the characters had very interesting and existential content for my age, that is why i always remember it

My Neighbors the Yamadas

Today I will talk about a movie I have seen in Netflix recently, it's called "My Neighbors the Yamadas". It's directed by Isao Takahana and animated by Studio Ghibli. Maybe you haven't seen this movie, but I think it's different because it's not the typical design or type of film you think when you search for this popular studio. It is still beautiful and very nice animated movie to watch when you are bored, want to see something lightweight or simply laugh.

The story is made up of a traditional Japanese family (I thought that I would not understand for not being Japanese but it was quite the opposite). You will see short stories like comics starring by Takashi Yamada, Matsuko Yamada, Noboru Yamada, Nonoko Yamada and Shige Yamada. (I think it will be difficult for us to remember each name but since they interact always together it's important).

The movie tells daily stories about the Yamada Family, every scene starts with short titles and the animated story begins, it could be about a lost child, the fights we have with our parents or typical marital fights. But the essential point of each story is the humor and to feel identified by the similarities we have every day with our parents (or remember if you already live alone).

I really liked this movie, besides this different way of making a movie for this particular studio (used to make all these films about character growth and mythological creatures). It felt really refreshing, i've spent a nice afternoon seeing what it's like a traditional family and how we are similar despite being from different countries.
