Let's change the journalism program

 I've always thought that journalism students need to have more practical classes, more focus on what we're going to be working on later. Whether it's writing, radio, television or administrative, I feel we lack more focus on that and less on the (boring) theories.

So if I could change something about the journalism program, I would eliminate most of the basic training classes, because they tend to repeat theories and texts, I would see them only in one year (I could not say in which one) and then I would put more practical classes that could cover all the different areas where there is a job offer for journalists.

Along the lines of the last sentence, I would add more journalism electives, currently they only cover the basics, but I think more areas should be given the opportunity.

On the structural aspect, I have always said I would change the chairs haha, they are very uncomfortable. Of the room itself, I would add more natural light, they are very cold.

Also, I would facilitate the loan of equipment such as cameras and audio things, I know it is more complicated because of the number of students, but in that case I would ask for more flexibility from the teachers.

Talking about the professors, I would change many teaching methods, some are very lecture-like (even for practical classes), they do not attract attention and have very long classes for very dense topics, I think we have to look for new teaching methods.

Well, to finish, to say that maybe I speak very personal because I don't like the theory and I don't like to study it, in fact I almost never read the texts haha, they are very boring and they don't call my attention (the grammar is very good), I don't like the theory and I don't like to study it, in fact I almost never read the texts. 

Time Machine

I would definitely never travel to the future, I try to keep my anxiety under control, so whenever someone asks me that question I always answer: to the past.

However, I only consider the past as a global thing, I have never thought about a specific event I want to visit. So, thinking hard, I came up with two possible times where I would like to be able to go: Versailles in the 17th century and Japan between 1985 and 1991.

I would travel to Versailles because in that century, Louis XIV (the Sun King) made the palace of Versailles his royal residence. A palace characterised by leisure and politics and which I would love to visit (in the present too) at that time to be able to attend a ball given by the king, wear a period dress, see the hall of mirrors and walk through the gardens with ladies at my side telling me the gossip of the nobility.

The other place I would like to travel to is Japan between 1985 and 1991, because in those years the Asian country lived through an economic bubble that had it as a possible candidate to become a world power (until the bubble burst...). It had an economic growth that involved areas such as technology and real estate, as well as the boom years of city pop and the beginnings of anime (as we know it today). I can definitely see myself walking the streets listening to 'stay with me'. 

And I wouldn't stay in either place. The 17th century was bad even for noblewomen, there's no reason for me to stay, I have no rights and I like them a lot haha. On the other hand, the Japanese bubble burst and they went through a hard economic crisis (not to mention the yakuzas), although if they offered me to live in a loop during those years... I would seriously think about it. Ok, seriously speaking, I like the country very much and I want to visit it for at least a whole month (in the present) if God gives me the chance.
