A bicentenary faculty

I like my faculty. I like it more than faculties of private universities, for example. Although they are very "modern" and aesthetically well built, it seems that there`s no soul in there. It`s like a cube with more cubic things inside where people go and when classes are finish, they doesn´t stay so much there, but go to the pubs near because their university is not so "comfortable" as another institutions like this one. I don`t know exactly what it is, but I feel that. Maybe is the time, and the tradition of the boulding as a human group. In spite of this, I accept that this faculty need some arragements...

The most visible problem is our infraestructure. The building, wich is like an old fashioned school of the 50`s, is falling into pieces. Besides, the maintenance is poor, there are some rooms that are flooded when it rains; the material of the doors and tables are the worst, and is not that I`m a refined person, but with so much years of movement, this things can`t hardly stand with its function.
There is a Bicentenary proyect that includes the improvement of all JGM campus, but the ideology of most people of the university doesn`t want this plans to work, because they say there are another things that are more important, and most of all, they think that annual fee is going to get more expensive if the proyect is accepted. I don`t think so; the authorities of the university already said that this is not going to happen, and I think that is an useful inversion, because we need improvements to work better. And by the economic conditions of the world, the annual fee is going up anyway. Sometimes I feel that student centers of politics only search polemic themes to be against with, because in part, they have the feeling of changing the world and, in the oportunity of being important in a good university like ours, take advantages to protest and be someone.

Apart from all those things, I like my faculty, because it`s big and has a lot of green areas. And it`s located far from the noise of the city. In this place (forgetting infraestructure) I think I can work very well and calm.

Country(ies) I`d like to visit

Hi Hi!

I found this question was very difficult! because I want to visit a lot of countries, allmost all of them. But if I have to choose one, it would be Italy.
Why Italy: To me it has everything. The best food I've taste, beautiful and nice people, a lot of the most perfect art (let's no forget that Italy was the center of the new art and culture of the renaissance and also a bit of barroque -Caravaggio is what I'm interested in-), the famous ruins of the Roman empire, passing through the medieval age and a big quantity of culture that I think a person should know, and finally, its great climate and its beatiful fertile landscapes.

With all those points that I want to know of this country, I think I would have to stay a few months maybe. Because Rome isn`t everything. There are at least Florence and Tuscany too. In Rome are located the ruins, in Florence the uffizi gallery and most of all art, and in Tuscany actually I`d like to go there to live. Also I have to visit Napoles for its food (There spaghettis are the best) and Venice for its festivals. Anyway, whole cosmopolitan world with a calmier view (not like New York, for example) in only one country.

That`s why I want to study there when I finish here, because it has the birth of occidental art, and also I found it a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. Italians are not like french o english people. They are happier and nicer. But the question for me was in fact difficult because I`ve travel a lot: I`ve been in Brasil, Argentina, EUA, Bahamas, Costa Rica for example, and my conclusion is that every part of the world I know (even Santiago) has it`s charm. For that, I`m happy here in Stgo. But I hope I`m not dreaming now and I can go at least once in my life to Italy.
