Free Topic! - Online Free Time Activity

One of the most difficult things to do in quarantine it's having fun when you can't get out or far from home. The first month of lockdown was a heavy torture, because I only had days when everything was: college - eating - household chores - sleep...and repeat. One day a former classmate of Concepción said to me "do u want to hang out in a virtual books club?" and I was, at first, thinking that it may not work, but later the weeks and the sessions we had, I convinced myself with the fact that it was working, and quite well! actually we have 15 members.

Now we have sessions all Thursdays at 9 pm. We chose a topic in the week before and we develop it in "front" of everyone. It's an important place to share ideas and new readings, and it's very helpful to take away some of the stress that means to be confined.

The platforms used are various, we started with the standard 40-minutes Zoom, then we passed to Meet, but the last sessions we have been using Discord, a very dynamic platform used by gamers, where u can program bots, play music and share documents in a fast way.

I really hope u can find your online free time activity, it's not the same that face to face encounters, but it's helpful to spend time out of the daily routine.

    Sounds so nice, like a real virtual place to enjoy company and books. Is important to try to enjoy our free time the best that we could :)

    Wow! what an interesting activity. As I read, I remembered some scenes from Riverdale where a character attended reading meetings and the members debated about a particular book.

The best holiday i have had 💬.

In perspective, part of this year's holidays where definitively the better ones of my life. They took place in the famous "Litoral Central", what is, basically, the closest beaches to Santiago, Chile's Capital City. Between other journeys, i stayed there four days and four nights in a tent on a small house’s backyard in Las Cruces. Crosses Town [?]. In those streets i had time to look around for three things.       Landscape . The sea, when you walk through the sand, it’s always there. Cartagena and Las Cruces are pretty close, and you can get to another point, just by walking thirty minutes. These two old towns are part of one in many bays in the Litoral Central. Its usual to see Albatross, Pelicans and Numenius. By night the rusty city of Cartagena lights the dark sea with his houses over the hills.     Society and activity.  February, the road that connects the different towns of the location are just collapsed, the tourists are making ...

Country that I would like to visit - Mexico

Mexico! 💕   I have some good reasons. First of all, his crazy everyday life in the City of Mexico; with  8.855 million inhabitants, its the most crowded city in Latin America . His cultural attractions like the Nacional Museum of Anthropology, the Autonomous Nacional University, the Diego Rivera Museum or his Historical Downtown makes this city an attraction by his own right.  Second reason, his pyramids and desertic landscapes. Mexico was once the heart of the biggest pre-Columbian empire: the Aztecs, and before them, the Mayas.  In their ruling, both civilizations rise enormous ceremonial pyramids, commonly visited by tourist all the seasons of the year. It also has in the North a vast desert that has inspired the imagination of famous writers like Octavio Paz or Roberto Bolaño.  Finally, in Mexico I will be able to wander the mystics of cultural mixing, learning new dialects of Spanish language. If I’m lucky, I will confirm my Latin American ident...

Postgraduate Studies - Some Msc and Mphil.

Hi again! This time I will write a bit about my postgraduate interest. 1. Reasons to do the course Long ago I decided to stay on the subject of Urban Studies in Sociology. Later I realized that it was not a good option to seek a specialization matter, but to let it flow across our experience. Now I find myself between two broad areas that meet my interests: Latin American Studies and Cultural Studies; Cities are also an option . The main reasons them, are not only my intellectual interest but also the professional needs.   2. Where you would like to study Dreaming its possible, so there are two excellent and fast programs in the UK. The first one in London’s Economic and Political Science School [ http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/calendar/programmeRegulations/taughtMasters/2019/MScCultureAndSociety.htm ] ] and the other one in Cambridge University [ http://www.latin-american.cam.ac.uk/mphil ]. Msc in Culture and Society and a Mphil in Latin American subjects. In Chile and other pla...
