My third year of university

This year I am in my third year of journalism at university of Chile. When I started to study I really didn´t know if this career would be my vocation and the only one for me, but I chosen it and now I am here writing this essay.

Until now, sometimes I think that I took wrong decision, but neither I like another career to change, so I hope to end journalism and then see what I have to do. By the way, these three years it wasn´t be bad, but I don´t feel like journalism be the career to me, because I don´t like to interview people and write news.

I think that this year has been the hardest one until now, because we have subjects like radio and television, that are practical and need a lot of time and dedication. So these are more difficult for me. Also in 2009 I learned, for example how to use video cameras, the Mac program: Final Cut to edit videos and other things like that.

This year I had thirteen subjects between practical and theoretical, and english. I passed all my subjects at the first semester and I hope to this happen again this semester. Next week I end my class and then we have exams until december fifteen. When finally I can travel to my home in the south.

Now, the only thing that I want is that this semester get over, because I am tired and stressed. And some friends are finished them semester so I want to hanging out with them. If I had to define this year I say that this was a stressful year, with more requirements and responsibilities, specially with my classmates, because we had a lot of group works.

If I have to make a self evaluation of my academic year I have to say that I didn´t do my best because I didn´t to motivate to study or make a very good job, I just tried to pass the subject, but something that I always did was came to almost every class to learn.

Maybe next year subjects will be more interesting to me and I could to motivate to study more and learn new and important things.

Our faculty have a lot of problems in its facilities. First of all, and something essential like toilet paper. We don´t have it! Maybe it could sounds stupid but is necessary for all of us.

Well, also the computers are very old, and most of the time they doesn´t work properly.

Another problema that we have is about the equipment, like cameras, edit rooms, and all that stuffs, because there are a very few of each one, so sometimes you can´t use them.

Also, I was very shocked when I knew that the movies that borrow in the library aren´t original. Before I started university, I never thought that these things happen in University of Chile, the most important university of this country. So, it was very disappointed to me.

All these problems would sort out if the university gives more money to our faculty, because it have financial difficulties to improves its facilities.

Also, there are some problems with subjects of journalism, for example we don´t have history and english inside our schedule. I think that it was a huge problem, because these subjects are necessary for our future jobs.

But, I don´t want to be unfair, so I have to say that I like that in our faculty, most of the teachers are to devote with them work and with the students.
