Entry N°7 - Back to the Past

Since I watched ‘Back to the Future’ film I’ve dreamt with traveling through both space and time and reach new or old ages which meant for all human kind. One of those periods, is the decade of the eighties. Since I was a child, like 10 years old, I felt that I was born in the wrong era, I disliked the music of my time which was reggaeton and some boring pop songs, I disliked the clothing and the way of life of many of my congeners.

My dream was to travel to the past. Live the decade of the 80s while I’m like 18 or 19 years old at that time. The age is important because I need it in order to do the funny stuff, like going to concerts, do drugs and alcohol and be able to survive on those times. Don’t get me wrong, 21^st century is an age where most people have privileges, life is quite comfy and it’s safer all-around so I’ll be trading, exchanging ways of life and I must be aware of that.

Anyway, I’ll stay in the 80s a long time; maybe I’ll stay there to live my whole life. I’d like to be a rock or punk musician and have my own band, doing tours, creating music and writing the music history while I’m living in an old house or flat in London or New York or California. I'd like to help Van Halen to write their new album at that time, that experience would be an eighties dream come true.

If you’ve seen that movie ‘Almost Famous’ where a young journalist is sent to cover a band for Rolling Stones magazine, the way of life I imagine living in that time is exactly like that. I could even be a journalist too in that decade, but I’d prefer to be a musician.

Entry N°6 - Postgraduate Studies

In my near future is kind of hard to obtain a postgraduate course because of economic reasons, mostly them. But if for any reason, I get one of those scholarships to go to foreign countries to study some subject, that would be awesome. I think some government program called “BecasChile” allows you to try and postúlate to get one postgraduate program.

Well, in that case, I’d like to study something related to communications or sociology. I’ve heard that Barcelona has one of the few Internet Research Center in Europe. Inside that place, many professionals like sociologists, anthropologists, journalists, and many other humanism disciplines converge and analyze and break down some of the newest and most striking phenomenon in the modern society like e-sports, social media, flash communications, etc.

I’d like to study at L’idem, a creative arts school in Barcelona. The institute shows how to start making 2d and 3d animations, which is related to video games and social media and also, the institute teaches you skills in graphic design and communications. That last one seems to be the best way to start a postgraduate course since my journalism formation and my interest in developing and study the electronic sports or e-sports subject from a sociologist perspective.

I hope one day to get one scholarship to travel to Barcelona. I’d like to study fulltime for 1 or 2 years duration of the postgraduate course in order to obtain as many new information is posible for me. 

Entry N°5 - My future job

Honestly, my dream job isn’t related to my current career at this University. Don’t get me wrong, I love journalism, not as a profession, but as craftship. Writing or photographing seems to be a way of expression, creating narratives, telling stories, cover passionate histories, meeting new people every day. All of them seems to be nice, a completely achievable journalist job    

In a very idealistic way, my dream job would be having my own pizza restaurant or foodtruck or streetpost or something like that, mobile so I can travel across the city selling pizza slices and drinks. Like 2 or 3 years ago I started to cooking and trying some dough and tomato sauce recipes, then I just realized that I just liked so much cooking for my friends, family and myself.

Therefore I think if I can truly get that happy feeling each time I cook and also get paid for that, I can really say that is a dream job.
