Personal Opinions

 

I'm in general someone who expresses his opinion, if I'm asked for it, obviously, but often in big groups or with people I don't know I prefer to be uncontroversial, so in those instances I often keep my opinion to myself.

Well, as I'm a neat freak (oops) I'll leave the questions and the answers aside.

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet?

I think it shouldn't be legal, exotic animals in general are delicate and deserve care that not all owners can give them, and even those who give them those comforts, they don't really know the animal's needs or if they feel comfortable, that's why many times I question about owning even cats or dogs, in a way we are taking them out of their environment, even if we think we are giving them a better life.


What is your opinion about tattoos?

Ufff, tattoos. For me they are very beautiful, everyone I know who has a visible one I feel they look cooler, it's like they instantly gain an extra point of style. And well, I don't have much more to say about this, it's not my place because it's not my body, but I can give my opinion on how they are evaluated by society.

It seems to me that with time they have become more and more accepted in the work environment, but there are some places where they are still seen very badly and I find it horrible, I don't understand why your image affects in any way how efficient you are, it seems really stupid to me.


What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?

They should be legal, fullstop, ah.

Nah, I think it's also stupid that marijuana isn't legalized, there are other things that are more easily available to people and can lead you to bad places.

And not just marijuana, but other natural drugs as well. Do people really think that because they are illegal they are going to stop using them? They are dreaming.


What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called 'mechoneo'?

I'm not going to lie, I thought it was fun when I was a kid, but when I grew up I experienced something similar in high school and I was like :0, wow, how fun is to have everything taken away from you, get stained and have to ask for money in the streets to go to a party where you  m i g h t   have fun. Mmmmm, no, I'm not interested.

I heard that even before the pandemic many universities had stopped doing it because they thought it was a bad practice, somewhat abusive and controversial as an initiation for first year students.

Changes to my study programme

 

   Uhg, the faculty of arts, that place I've only been able to go to once.

Because of the pandemic, I've only been able to enter the university once and I think that's enough for me to understand that the place has a lot of shortcomings. The ceilings, the walls, the spaces need to be fixed with u r g e n c e .And if I only spent 10 minutes in each of those rooms and realised that there were things broken and poorly done, I can't imagine what one can find going to that place five days per week.

Anyway, I only knew the faculty of arts of Las encinas, not the other faculty of arts or all Juan Gomez Millas, maybe there are cooler places (they say the swimming pool is the best).

So moving on to what I know more about, I don't think I would change much about the career. I remember when I was in high school I thought that the career should have a subject that would serve to guide in the workplace, as it is something in which we artists are quite neglected, but just when I entered the university they changed the curriculum and added a subject about thi. In my opinion, the curriculum is relatively good, maybe I would suggest a change regarding the amount of CFG that we have to take, since visual arts has many subjects every year, like 7-9, and in general the careers have between 4 to 5 branches per semester.

Wuau Pangea


If I could travel to some point in the history. I think I would go to the time where still existed Pangea (that piece of land that fell apart creating the continents that we know)

You may wonder why so far away, anddd, well, there is no great explanation, it’s just an age that makes me very curious because of the living beings that inhabited it, the vegetation, etc. I suppose that the fascination I have for that era is the same that other people have for the dinosaurs.

Being in that other context, I think I would take samples of everything, and when I say everything, I mean E V E R Y T H I N G.  Why would I do that? Well, I guess some samples would look cool under a microscope, oh, I forgot, I don’t know how to use any of that because mmm, I study arts, not science so I would bring a friend of mine (Vick) who is studying biotechnology, they would probably help me studying the samples in a deeper way.

Anyway, being in a time that humans don't know almost anything about, I'd probably go for just a couple of hours so i don't risk my physical integrity, and even going for a short time I'd be scared to death, lest I die from curiosity.
