Blog 8: Summer Plans

So my summer plans are not quite defined yet, but with my dad and siblings are planing to go somewhere out of Chile. Last summer we didn't do anything as a family because we were remodeling our house, and there was no money left to go somewhere :(. So... what we are looking forward to do this upcoming summer is go to Orlando and repeat a travel we did in 2014. Going to amusement parks is something that we love to do as a family. We don't like Disney's parks though, when we went to Orlando in 2014 my dad didn't buy tickets to those, because he had already visited them and told us they where for little kids, and what we like about amusement parks is the thrill of the rollercoasters and that kind of attractions.

The plan is to go with my dad and my two siblings, and also my cousin. Go to Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure, then go to Busch Gardens, which is in Tampa, a couple hours away from Orlando, and then I guess some other parks.

If our first plan for some reason doesn't work out, I'd like to go to Japan. Because I'd love to visit every continent before I die, and I think that it would be very interesting to get to know their culture. Go to Hiroshima and all those historic places.

Anyways, I really want to go to Orlando again with my family this summer so... fingers crossed. 

Blog 7: Favorite Food

Since I was a little kid, burgers have been my favorite food. When I was younger, my parents worked a lot and every time they came home late (every single weekend because they worked in liquor stores), they had a bag of burgers in their hands. So you could say that my whole life I've eaten at least one burger per week.

Now times have changed. Although my mom still works in a liquor store (she has her own now!), there is no need for her to come home with burgers, because we order delivery hehe. I guess you could say Rappi has changed my life in that way. Every time there's nothing else to eat in my house, I order a burger, it's so easy!

I think Burger King is my favorite place to eat burgers. They make them fast, it's not as expensive as other places and their burgers are delicious. I really love the Whooper Extreme. I really like Johnny Rockets and Carl's Jr too, but as those are more expensive, I only go there with my mom or dad.

I like cooking burgers at home too, but only when someone else is in charge of the cooking, because I'm really lazy and not a really good cook, so I will always prefer to buy them at some place that I like, instead of cooking my own.

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies

When I think of my future, i'ts all blurry. Since I don't know what I'm going to do when I finish studying journalism, a postgraduate degree is much harder t think of. But, as you already know, there are two options: something related to films or some strategic communication degree.

I'd like to study abroad. If it's films related, I think that Argentina would be a nice option or maybe Europe. On the other hand, if I take a strategic communication degree, I'd like to go to the United States. I wouldn't mind to study here in Chile, it would be much easier but way less fun though.

I think that a part time course would be nice because, In my opinion, postgraduate studies are much more valuable if you have already gained experience in your field. Now, maybe if I go abroad, get a work would be much more harder, so I think that my plan will be 1. Work a couple years here, after I graduate. And 2. Renounce to my job and leave Chile to study and then come back.

Anyways, I think that a postgraduate degree is something that I'm absolutely going to do, because as a journalist, the laboral market is too competitive, so a master or any other postgraduate study is a must if I want to have a decent salary.
