My ideal job

I haven't thought much about what my ideal job could be, but if I give it a try, I would totally opt to work as an illustrator. Why? Simple, this is the kind of job which links in perfect harmony my hobby which are all things related with arts, but to be more specific, drawing and painting are the main ones. And moreover the way I like to live my life. Because working as an illustrator doesn't demand to be surrounded by people, or rushing to get to a place on time, which are the things that I hate the most and what is more important it allows me to be more reflexive with my own work.

To become an illustrator is not an easy task, they really must master many different skills. Illustrators are people who not only have to be creative in order to be original with their work, but also they have to be good at drawing, because this is the way they express their work, which is the final product after all, and in order to do so, they really have to know how composition and colours  must match together to form the perfect combination to narrate the story behind.

Besides, an illustrator must be innovative while doing his work, specially nowadays, where we have many different tools to make our work better. As for example, we can work with computers, scanners, tablets,  and different programs and applications, which give us multiple opportunities to explode our capacities to the limit.

In a nutshell, working as an illustrator would be the coolest thing I can image, but it is far away from reality, because, to find the appropriate job opportunity it is quite difficult, the area is full with people who have been working there for quite a long time, and incorporate new people is way too difficult because new people do not have the experience of those who have worked in the area for years. So, I can only dream about it for now, but maybe in a distant future, this might become more realistic than now.

Last term experiences

Though it was a short semester due to the many student's strike, it was a pretty interesting term. It was the first year we have covered something entirely different for us, because the previous years we only had focused on how Scenography is applied in the Theather area, though last term we were introduced on how Scenography could be incorporated into the Audiovisual area. The whole term was focused on this topic, which for me was the most interesting part, because this is the area which I would like to master in the future.

Last term was very demanding for us, even though we did not had classes regurlarly, there were lots of work to do, and texts to read. So I didn't had much time for me, my term was really plain in term of free times activities, the only thing I would like to highlight was that I started a  Smithery Course with an old friend of mine, this course was one day per week, and lasted for about 3 hours each class. It was a great course, so I continued on this new term. I have learn quite a lot.

Other aspect about last term, were some problems I had to face, as for example, I had some medical problems, which were really difficult to handle, I was not only diagnosed anemia, but also insulin resistance, this two illnesses have complicated my life quite a lot, in fact, due to this condition I have developed a sort of panic attacks which have forced me to take medications. Apart from this, the academic year was pretty cool.

Though my medical condition is not optimal, I am pretty happy about my life. Because of this condition, which most of the time is a little bit tiresome, have made my family and relatives closer to me, and my boyfriend as well, they are always looking after me, so I feel loved and lucky to have them with me. I really hope to have them with me in this new term.

With nothing further to add,
