What are some of your favourite hobbies / pastimes?


What are some of your favourite hobbies / pastimes?

I have quite a few hobbies and pastimes but i must admit the ones i prefer are reading and watching movies. This doesnt make me an antisocial person or this doesnt mean i like to run away from my reality i guess i just love fiction. 

My favorite authors are Agatha cristie and stephen king when it comes down to chosing suspense. Both authors are very different to each other, they have a unique style of writing but i find they keep me hanging on to the very end. I have quite a collection of their books, my favorite thriller by agatha cristie has to be 'murder on the midnight express'. I love the way she doesnt let on to the murderer until the very last. Its brilliant when one of her detectives starts suspecting of one of the characters and you follow every lead he does. On the other hand there's Stephen King with his spine chilling personalities few of which tend to be human. 'IT' is one of his very best novels but then again some of his short stories are quite brilliant. I like the fog, yes his books tend to be a little fantastic but i guess thats what i like. Infact the first books i started readind were harry potter, i think i nearly had the whole collection. I have a weak point for magic and freaky creatures. 

With respect to the films i watch many are similar to the books i read. There are two serials i also watch since they started 8 years ago: the walking dead and game thrones. Once again they include everything i like in a story, terror and suspense.

"My most wacky hobbie is collecting smurfs. I have more than 100."

So there you are, those are my favorite pastimes.  Whenever i need to relax or give myself a treat i have a good collection of things i can do.

A subject you enjoyed studying this term

A subject which has currently affected, in great magnitude, the faculty is suicide among the students. This is due to the actual suicide of a workmate and two others that were on the verge of doing the same thing. As often happens in these cases there is hardly any prevention but a lot of talking amongst us once the tragedy has occured. Personally I think not enough importance is given to these cases in Chile, the worst has to happen before anyone takes any action. I remember needing psicological help, mainly because I needed some type of contention and as always there were no hours available in the public health enteties and when I tried to find help within the faculty the waiting list was enormous. I could have had suicidle ideas without any support to avoid them. I dont know if this is the same in other countries but here in Chile its obvious that help is difficult to find. I wish that the depression, words and actions of our workmates were taken more seriously. I

Why I decided to study architecture! This is a   complicated question for me to answer, do I like this career? During my life prior to university I asked myself on many ocasions what i wanted to do with my future or what i wanted to be, there was a time I wanted to be a doctor then i   didnt want to do anything, to tell the truth i had a dificult time deciding on what I wanted to study. I have always liked to read so this played a big role in my decisión, I gave teaching a lot of thought, becoming a lawyer was also an interesting option. One week before the applications I realized I have always liked drawing and history of different countries and I had to choose a career which would allow me to include both of these. Finally I decide on architecture and here I am four years after. After such a long time you would think this was the right choice for me but im still not a hundred percent convinced this is the direction i want to go or if i love what im doing but i have to admit

In architecture inspiration is totally necessary. The best projects have been created on the way to work, whilst you watch tv or by seeing objects on the street. There are moments in which you see a centre piece on a coffee table and you hear   a click in yourhead you have been waiting for, it sounds crazy but thats the way it is with art. When you least expect it you see something with the form of your future project, even the smell of something can generate a good idea. Although nowadays things have changed, the need for imagination is no longer that important because inspiration and good ideas can be found on internet.  In my personal experience, during my first year of university, one doesnt know the short cuts you can take so as to reduce your work load and physical stress. The most dificult part of architecture is thinking of what to do, I remember having spent whole nights awake with this dilema. I would like to make it clear that I havent stopped thinking or creating bu
