Post 8 - A subject you enjoyed studying this term

This semester of the career contains five fixed subject and the corresponding electives, in my case English and a Transversal.

Of the seven subject, my favorite is architecture and earthquakes, this is basically about mathematics and physics. They teach us the strategies and ways to build a building so that it can withstand an earthquake.

Personally, I always liked the numbers and the calculations, even if they are not so easy but with effort and concentration it is very entertaining to understand. Many people hate that branch because it is quite difficult, but if you think about it, it is one of the most important branches of the career because if in a future as a professional you do this wrong, many people could be affected.

I can conclude that my favorite subject of this semester is Architecture and earthquakes because I like mathematics a lot and although it costs me, I think it is very interesting to know how we can improve buildings so they do not get damaged by earthquakes and improve the quality of life of people and their concerns when witnessing an earthquake.

A career-related website / an expert on your field

• https://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/cl
• https://www.pinterest.cl/

These two pages are the two main ones that I occupy to inspire me or draw references from architectural projects. In the first link (https://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/cl) you can find different projects from around the world, these are not only project images but they contain all the project information, the architects, the plans, measurements, location, among other important data. This is one of the most important and famous pages that exist in architecture since all projects end up presented on this page. On the other hand the second link (https://www.pinterest.cl/) is a standard page where you can find everything you are looking for - like in Google - but only with images or links that can direct the search to other pages with more information These images help a lot when looking for ideas, inspiration, texture techniques, colors, objects such as furniture, people or vegetation. All these elements are very important when drawing your project, as in objective images, cuts, elevations, plants and other schemes that complement the project.

What's your favourite TV show / film?

In the Discovery Home and Health channel, there are many programs mainly for food, house remodeling and wedding dresses. Of course my favorite television show is that of wedding dresses. However, I like the other programs a lot because as an architecture student I am very interested in home remodeling programs and I also like to cook a lot, especially baking, so it can be said that the channel is my favorite. This program of wedding dresses is called "Wedding dress", is directed by Randy, who is also the main character of the series. These are brides who go to New York in search of a dress for their wedding mainly cheap. These are women who come from different places in the world and come with different ideas and tastes. All the chapters consist of the same, three brides who in parallel are willing to try on all the dresses that are necessary before finding their indicated dress. That's why I can not say that I have a favorite episode, they are all very similar and different at the same time. I like this program because from a very young age, it was always my dream to get married and enter the church dressed in white. Nowadays I am bigger and my dream is still that great moment. I think that's why I like that program so much. Something very special about the program is when the brides feel that they found their ideal dress and usually get so excited that they come to mourn with happiness, in that moment Randy asks them the big question "Did you find your dress?".

It is a very entertaining program and teaches you how to choose a dress that flatters your body and the style of the wedding.

DO YOU WANT TO BE MY PARTNER?

In 2016, I left school and had the graduation party. At that time I had Jaime as a friend, so I invited him to the party to accompany me as my partner. We were going out a while ago but I never imagined what would happen that night. After the ceremony with the parents and dinner the party began, I was with my friends dancing and suddenly I heard that they called me by the microphone towards the center of the dance floor, they also called everyone to come closer. I got there and I see Jaime with the microphone, I got very nervous and saw how everyone looked at us. Jaime began to say very nice and romantic things about us, then at the end of his speech I hear him ask me "Do you want to be my partner?". I got very nervous but also very happy because Jaime made me very happy and I really wanted to be with him, so I told him yes and I hugged him very hard. The picture shows when Jaime asks me the question, that's why you can see my surprise face. It was a very happy and unforgettable moment, today we are still together and have been together for two and a half years.
