MY EXPECTATIONS FOR 2021

 I have to say I’m very excited about 2021 and I have really good expectations. I believe blindy about a safe vaccine for the virus. I know life is not going to be the same as the pre-covid life, but at least we will be able to do more stuff. If people are conscious and responsable enough, the entire world will be a little bit free again. It’s so sad to see how everyone is talking about a “second wave” of coronavirus cases. I don’t want to see how people die every day because of it, I’m really tired of that. I hope next year this situation changes and the number of cases decreases. Until a vaccine, I think we all have to be extremely careful. Also, everyone’s mental health is really bad because of the lockdown, so I hope everyone could go out a little bit more, specially old people, like my grandmother.

About studies, I think schools and colleges will have a double way of making classes: online and face-to-face, and I really hope our university does the same. I would love to see and meet all my online friends that I’ve made this year. It’s so frustrating keeping this online system because of the inequality of conditions, not everyone has the best connection or the best access to develop their education, some people live where there’s bad connection to wi-fi and we all live with our family which is very complicated, and the face-to-face university can offer a great alternative to these kind of issues. Also, I think that I will learn more in these future conditions than in this current way of teaching.

In my case, I’m planning to go back to Santiago in order to go to start my second year of university and my first year face-to-face. I think I will do a “to do list” about all the things I wanted to do this year but sadly, had to wait, such as dye my hair, go to a gym or start a vegan diet. About the pre-covid life, I miss so much going to concerts, restaurants, birthdays party’s, see my old friends from school, traveling around the country to visit all my family, go to music festivals from Valdivia or watch movies in the cinema. I really want my old life back. The last thing I wish for next year, is to be finally ready with my brackets treatment and have cute teeths.

Next year I will turn 19 years old and I really wish that will be more exciting than my current life. I have a really good feeling about what this future free-covid life. Nothing can be worse than this year.

MY FUTURE JOB

 As I’m studying journalism, I think that in a future I would love to work as a writer or in the media. I think they’re very opposite, but this career offers so much posibilities that I would never get tired of it. I don’t care if it’s an office or not, but I would rather not. Definitely, I would love to work with a lot of people. I think we can learn so much from each other.

I’m not actually a very “outdoor” person, but in order to be connected with my job, I know I have to go out a lot. With that clear, I think it wouldn’t bother me at all the travel part, so yes, I would love to travel everywhere around the world.

I’m not very clear yet about what do I want to choose in a future, but I would really like to study about politics, anything about culture (music, movies, books) or anything that includes gender and women rights in the media. Also, I think is relevant to work about the  laws

I’m not specially attracted to do journalism in radio or TV, I would rather write in newspapers or work into investigative journalism.

So far, I’m very excited for my future job.

MY PET

 Seven years ago, on new year’s day, I went to my garden to get some wood. For my surprise, I saw a little kitty between the big logs. She seemed terrified so I didn’t bother her, and I came back inside my house. A few weeks later, I kept seeing her around my garden, so my mom bought some food for her. Slowly, she started to loose her fear and we decided to adopt her. We called her Amelia.

Nowadays, Amelia has seven years old. She is a black and white cat, her eyes are green and she’s very tiny and skinny. To be honest, Amelia is a little bit mean, she doesn’t like to be touch very often and she complains a lot if you approach to her. Also, she’s very independendant and social with other cats. Frankly, I admire that.

Without the mean part, I feel like she’s my baby. I love her so much and she’s definitely like a daughter to me, because I raised her since she was very little.  Sometimes I think we have a special connection. I wish she could live forever. She’s everything to me.
