technology

Hi!

Sometimes I found myself writing and writing with my thumbs on the cellphone or scrolling the screen without any sense and I ask to myself: “why are you doing this?” And then I convince to myself that I need to do something useful.

I think that’s a big problem of the technology, because sometimes it ends with our concentration, but I also think that is a useful implement for somethings like the study, for example, if I have to tune my cello, I usually take my phone to use the app of the tuner and hear the note that I need to be in the right tune.

In other cases, I use the technology for read music sheet when I don’t want to print the parts or when I try to generate less paper to the planet. I think is a really good way to save money.

Other think that the technology allows me is to listen all the music that I want. That is really important and a big benefit for all the musicians (and for all the people I think), because we have the opportunity of compare different versions of the music and choose the thinks that we want to use on our study of the music.

And one of the things that I really appreciate of all the things that technology brings me, is the opportunity to apply to different institutions and festivals outside the country and can learn about other ways to play the cello.

But I also think that technology is something dangerous, because as I said it before, it ends with our concentration, not only at the study or work, also on the personal relationships, because we are making the bad habit of do everything through the cellphones and we need the personal contact to show our feelings and to do real friends.

2020

Oh! I think that talk about the expectatives or changes for the next academic year is something hard because I don’t know what to say. I mean, I don’t know if we will have classes this year, because the bad tongues say that in march the social explosion will be stronger than in October of 2019 and in this time the university students will be leading the social movement (the city will burn, so I don't know if we will have university). 

Well, it is hard to stay positive about the studies, but I think I can do it or I will try it. This year I will have the same cello teacher of the last 3 years and I’m really happy for that because she’s a really good teacher. She loves teaching, so it makes all our classes intensive and full of knowledge. About the other signatures, I don’t know what will happen, but I hope to be in a section with good teachers because I love to learn new things and I’m that kind of nerd that likes to talk with the teacher during de lessons. 

About my classmates, I don’t have problems to be with new people and I’m a sociable person, so I only hope that my classmates have enough interest for learn and participate in the classes. I can’t deny that I will like to be classmate with my friends because that makes me happy (and I laugh about everything, so with friends I will fell more confidence to do it without shame).

And something I really hope is not to do homeworks!!! I hate spend time with the computer writing for hours and hours. I prefer to read about something interesting and then comment with the people or do something more dynamic, but every time that I’m sit with a computer, I feel so bored.

Well, I think that is all I have to say, and I know that this year maybe will be a difficult year because of everything that happens in the country.

Best concert ever!

My favorite band when I was 14 was Paramore. I loved them and I was so hopeful waiting for their coming. I remember that in november of the 2010 I read the new on the band website and I just screamed too loud. Then I call my mom and I told she that I really wanted to go, so after a few days and a lot of "please" she bought me the ticket and I was so happy.

The concert was in Espacio Riesco, a really small place for all the people that went to the concert. So many persons fainted during the concert because of the desperation of didn’t have enough space.I went with some friends that I knew in the chilean Paramore's Fan club, so we were really crazy waiting for the concert. we spent all the day outside the concert place, under the sun (it was on February) because the doors would open at 7 pm and we needed a good place to see the band, so we arrived at 10 am.

When the doors opened, we just run. I remember that I lost my friends, but in that moment, it didn't care, all that I wanted was to be in the first line and scream to my favorite band that I love them. 

When the band came to the stage all the people was screaming, me too jajaja so I lost my voice on that concert, but I enjoyed every song.

That concert is a good memory and it makes me laugh because of all the euphoria that I had on that moment.  There are some pictures that I made that day.

I'd love visiting

One of my biggest dreams in the life is to go to Iceland, because I've heard the nature there is amazing. I can only imagine me walking through a big forest and being happy with the air and the smell of the flowers and trees.

Also I think maybe that place is like a movie with all the colours and adventures that exist on  it.

I will like to see the boreal halos, it might be an amazing show and I'm sure that I will cry because of the happyness of being there. Another think that I’d love to do is to going to the relaxing waters of the thermas.

In that Island doesn't live too much people, so maybe being there will be the perfect place to go to a spiritual trip and I’d like to do it alone, because I think it could be a great adventure for myself.

I'm not sure, but I think I've heard that the people there is really happy, because they don't feel the pressure of being in a big City and the work is not hard like in Chile, so I think maybe every person that I know should go there to have an experience with people that doesn’t have the same stress that us, just for know something new and maybe learn about the life in that place and imitate on the own life.

                                                  

I really hope to have the opportunity to go there. I know I said it before, but is a big dream and I want to make it true even if it is too expensive to me.
