Post 6 - Future Studies

    To speak from hearth, I have no intention to continue studying. I just want to run far away from anything related to the traditional academic environment. I’m tired of being a student in a system that isn’t focused on the individual development but on standardized outcomes. Maybe participate in workshops could be an option. Now a lot of people are taking and dictating short courses, I believe that these places are more enjoyable, because you work and interact with others in a more intimate and horizontal way. Also doing it online it’s cheaper or easier because you don’t need a physical place to gather people. There are so many options on this online courses, a huge variety of subjects and topics. I mainly like the ones related to art, like analog or digital collage, or poetry writing, video-art, visuals, etc. But some others have also caught my interest, such as programming workshops or to learn Japanese. I think we can educate ourselves and cultivate our interests ...

I liked “The Ra-tim-bum Castle ” as well, a Brazilian show that occurs in a magical castle where a group of kids that lived nearby used to play. Another show that I liked a lot is “ 31 minutos ”, a puppet show that emulate a news TV program. The anime section of “ El club de los tigritos ” is where I watched anime for the first time and it was amazing. I remember having to wait anxiously one day, or one week, to watch the next episode. And it was really horrible when suddenly the anime restarted because it reached the end of the dubbing (this was before the internet became a common thing in our lives). There I used to watch shows like Digimon , Slam Dunk, Shaman King or Ranma ½ . I still love (and re-watch sometimes) all o...
