What's you need to be an Architect?

This is a very difficult question, because if you want to be an architect, you need to have so much skills and you need to be perseverant in some cases. You need to be stronger at the frustration, you need to be perseverant, because architecture its a career you will need to repeat more times some works. If you want to be an architect, you need to be a very good observer and have very good skills to draw and represent the reality in the sketchs, you must have very good precision skills, and all of that, its only the first part. You need to "say goodbye" to many things, for example, some friends, social life xD, you need to say goodbye to sleep sometimes, to eat sometimes (if you think about that, ITS HORRIBLE). You need to think faster than the "normal" people to solve maths problems for example.

In conclusion, you need to study so much, be perseverant and you cant fall to the mistakes.

If you love this profession, im sure the bad things dont be a problem for you, but if you dont like this... Im sorry for you xD

My first month in FAU its a weird experience.

My first moth in FAU has been a bit difficult for me, because there are many things to think here.

I should answer “PSU” test as many people in Chile to stay here in FAU. When I know my marks I decided to try postulating in University of Chile, architecture specifically. I tell it to my mom and my dad and they were afraid about my decision because that’s mean I have to go, but passing the time, they put all of their hopes in my dream.

I arrived to Santiago probably a month ago, and the change has been so fast, but weird. When I decided to study architecture (because I like art and I think architecture its a very good kind of visual and constructive art), my vision of FAU was the same at now. For me, architecture takes so many time and that’s right, I mean, the requirement are high and I think that’s ok for the career. My family support me since I decided to study architecture because my dream is be an architect, maybe not be the best architect in the world but I want that. This month I have a lot of work and the work is not easy at all because I look a different vision for each class work. 

Personally, my experience at FAU has been fun but tiring too, because I have to travel to Santiago and staying here for many time and it is difficult for me because of different disorders in my mind, but I have to let them go and push myself studying, although that mean I have to feel lonely. But not all of here is bad, I knew a lot of people (that’s not mean they’re my friends but the people I know they are friendly) and that’s helpful for my problems, although I don’t like to say that, but when I talk with the people I feel fine.

Vacation at Home

This summer I don't have vacations, I'm stay in my home. Yes, that's sound a bit bored but its more funny than people think. There is something relaxing when you stay at home during the vacations. For example, you eat more and sleep more too. When you stay at home in vacations, you don't need think in hotels, rent houses or something like that, because that kind of houses its expensive. When I stay in my home, i help my father to repair, paint and remodel our house. No one visit my house because my family its far away from me, but my step-brother come to my house sometimes and we draw and paint together. The best part of vacations when you stay at home its the free time you can use what you want. So, Stay in home its not terrible, I think its good, because you have quality time with your family, you can go to shop and maybe buy ice cream and you dont need to think in other people, in the house or the car.

When I stay at home during the vacations, I can also go to the cinema and have fun with my friends or family and we cook together everyday.
