Hello everyone. In this last post I'm going to write to you how my educational experience has been this year and some reflections on them.

To begin with, I think that, academically, it has been a good year, so I count it as something good that has happened. At this point I have closed most of my classes and I have passed everything, maybe not as I would have liked, but I did it and in a way I'm happy with that, since, due to anxiety and stress, I did not give the best of me in the last months, and I did it anyway. 

I feel that, compared to the previous year, this one has been better. Last year was worse, I did not know how to cope and I felt very bad most of the year. However, I feel that this year I have been able to cope better, although the only thing that has not worked well, that I have not been able to solve and cope with, is my mental health, which has always been affected by the academic load and family situations.

My life in the last few months has been a whirlwind, and for the same reason I have been in a bad way. However, I somehow try to compensate for that or forget about it by sharing with my pets, exercising at home, talking about anything with my university friends that I still don't have the pleasure of seeing them again and even with the achievements I've had so far. Which I don't know if it's right, since I avoid too many things, and at any moment I can explode, but that's what's happening to me now and that at least makes me happy for a moment.

Yesterday, together with my Taller 3 group, we had a delivery that was actually hard to do. We both tried so hard to do something really good, that we gave our best, leaving aside eating well, sleeping, resting or just having a social life, and we did excellent. We're so happy about that, because lately we have excelled and the teachers have told us so and always end up congratulating us. This situation, I count it as an achievement, but I question the... is it right to put aside your mental health for the sake of feeling that you're doing something right? The truth is I don't know, but situations like that are the ones that have happened to me every year and somehow, that, those achievements make me feel a little better, escaping from my reality, making me feel like I'm not a failure.

Well... To conclude, I feel that the blog has been a good tool to know better the people that surround me virtually. I've always taken the time to read most of what my schoolmates publish, since I enjoy each of the stories and personally, I've also enjoyed it a lot, because I really like to write and express myself, and I'm sure you've already noticed, with all the words I usually have in a post JAJAJA. I hope someday to have my own blog, and write a lot of stuff. Who knows I might end up being a writer instead of an architect. You never know the twists and turns of life.

Hello everyone. In this free post, I'm going to write to you about the latest series I finished watching on Netflix that I loved.

(ALERT: SPOILERS)

LUPIN is a French suspense and mystery series that premiered in January this year, which is directed by George Kay and Francois Uzan.

It tells the story of Assane Diop, an immigrant boy from Senegal, who along with his father Babakar Diop, arrive in France in the 1990s, in search of new opportunities. A few years later, his father was incriminated for the theft of an expensive diamond necklace by his employer, the millionaire Hubert Pellegrini. For this reason, Babakar is arrested and given life imprisonment, due to Pellegrini's efforts to corrupt the French police. As the father could not stand the injustice, a few days later he's reported to have committed suicide, leaving Assane an orphan at the age of 14, in a city he barely knew.

Twenty-five years later, Assane plans revenge against the Pellegrini family, inspired by a book that tells the story about the gentleman thief, Arsene Lupin, and that the same father had given him on his last birthday. In this way, using his charisma and mastery of theft, he gradually exposes all the crimes committed by Hubert, discovering many things he didn't know about his father.

I really liked this series, because in each chapter something very interesting happened. It left you with the feeling of intrigue and always encouraged you to keep watching it, becoming addicted to it. I feel it's a very well put together series, in terms of actors, sounds, lighting, spaces, etc. At the same time, I was very struck by the fact that in each chapter they showed the great monuments and buildings for which France stands out internationally. And me being an architecture student, who appreciates every architectural work, made me love the series even more.

To conclude, I recommend it 100%, it has been by far one of the best I've seen on Netflix. Which I really appreciated every minute watching it, for everything it offers and transmits, in terms of resilience. So you won't regret it and if you get to see it, it would be nice if you tell me about it :D.

Thanks for reading my post. I look forward to reading yours.🥰

Hi everyone, through this post, I'm going to write to you about what has been my favorite class this semester at FAU.

My favorite class so far is called Principios de Habitabilidad y Sostenibilidad. It's a class that at this point I have already finished, but I loved it. It was led by professors and architects Bárbara Rodriguez and Daniela Carter.

In these classes we worked constantly doing research work on the importance of sustainability in terms of architecture. First, we would choose a city in question to investigate. In my case, together with my group, we chose the city of Copiapó. In each class we had to investigate and solve problems in terms of: solar radiation, natural lighting, ventilation, life cycle analysis and thermal envelope. These 5 criteria helped to develop a project or new housing that responded to all these problems of the city.

I really enjoyed this class, as it was the first time I learned about many things related to the pollution generated by a house or architecture in general and how important it's to address it when creating a project. Before, without having been in this class, I knew nothing about this, not even the importance of building material and how it can help reduce a city's carbon dioxide emissions or the opposite.

I feel that I learned a lot in this class, to the point that I enjoyed every single one of them and always gave my best.

Thanks for reading my post. I look forward to reading yours.🥰
