A song

Lately I've been listening to the song "Acero Chino" by Pedropiedra, together with Mauricio and Francis Durán. This song belongs to the pop-rock genre, which is part of the album "Tótem". I heard this song for the first time in September of this year, which was when the album was released. I like it a lot because, according to some interpretations, it refers to the closure of the Huachipato steel plant in Talcahuano, an event that left thousands of people unemployed. However, for me, this song can also be understood as a metaphor for a fragile love. The phrases that most attract my attention in the song are: "Whoever confuses price with value" and "If I want to save myself I must buy your love of Chinese steel." For some, these lines could be related to economic aspects or to the value of Chinese steel itself. However, in my interpretation, "Chinese steel" symbolizes a person who loves in a fragile way. It is a love that, although i...

My semester so far

This semester I have had to read too much, I think that in all these years at university, I had never read so much. My favorite class so far is Geography of the Sea, which surprised me because I never thought I would like it, but rather I thought it was going to be the most difficult. The class that I have not enjoyed very much is Transversal, I feel that they should not require it as an obligation, it is a branch that is supposed to help us relate to others, but I feel that it ends up being quite the opposite and in the end we all get tired of transversal because it always There are people who work and others who don't. From the semester I highlight that we have had some lands, but now they are for the day. I miss the lands where we had to stay for more days and we could visit and see more places. I hope that next year we will have better lands because it is still fun to stay and camp with your friends. I usually organize my time depending on the amount of work and also the import...

A school teacher

I don't think I remember many teachers from my school because during my primary education I changed schools a lot, until in high school I arrived at a girls' school, it was a Catholic school, where they put a lot of emphasis on religion. I have never been Catholic, I have always been an atheist and it has always bothered me when they try to convince you with beliefs or thoughts different from mine. However, it was the best school in the area and I preferred to attend it anyway. All the teachers had a similar way of thinking, religion and politics were two topics that could not be talked about, especially when your classmates grow up without class consciousness and giving their opinions based on their privileges. I found school really boring because they were the opposite of what I was, which is why I was always getting into trouble for my way of thinking. I remember going to the first year of high school and the teachers changing, that was where I met Professor Catherine, the n...
