Post 7: Changes to my study program

 I study journalism, I´m finishing my second year on december so I haven´t been through all of my career courses. I also don´t know my study program very well, but I do know the basics: classes for writing,  audiovisual classes, radio and investigative classes.

I personally think that we should have classes that teach about tools for investigative journalism since the sencond year, because it´s a very hard task and there´s a lot of different ways to gather important information, but not everybody remembers them.

One thing that I also feel my study program lacks of is more activities of doing stuff. It sounds confusing but let me put it this way: the first to years we go through the same writing structures over and over again but we write a very small amount. Sure, that´s because we write extensive things but I think that if (the first two years of the career) we write mostly short news or papers instead of two big projects for a class maybe we will have more opotunities to fail and learn.

The pandemic and quarantines haven´t been so helpfull to really enjoy the study program as it should be, but I hope next year we can experience it more as it should be: in a classroom, in the recording studio, in the tv room and doing more activities "in the streets", such as interviews, photography, etc.

Post 6: Time travel to the future

 I'm probably not the best person to talk about the future because the future is scary to me. Of course sometimes I like to plan and dream about a NEAR future, I like setting goals to achieve but I don't like thinking about the responsabilities next to come in a FAR future.

Talking in a futuristic and imaginary way, I would like to go to a time where most of today's problems are discussed and resolve in a positive way for the humanity and environment, such as: pollution, addiction, corruption, explotaition, poverty, abuse, capitalism, etc. I would like to travel to a time where people are close to making this world a better place, because sometimes I lose faith in humanity because of the decisions we are making nowadays.

I don't know exactly what time would that be, it could be 5 years from now or 500 years from now. But I know that seeing an evolution or revolution for the well being of this society would be encouraging for me since I've seen and lived so many bad things during my life.

I wouldn't like to stay there, I would feel so out of place. I would like to come back and teach about the good things that I saw in the future to incorporate them as soon as possible.
