The most interesting page for me is the one of the Met, because here you can find information, such as data and images, about its collections, exhibitions and events, and I especially liked its interactive map, because of its design.


I would like to visit the Met, because I really like museums and it includes objects from different cultures. Another place would be Central Park, because I like walking and I am interested in seeing the statues and monuments it has. And finally to the Brooklyn Bridge, just for the experience and because it is a symbolic place.

School times (2 Photos)

Hello everyone  Let's see if you can find me with this description haha. I remember that it is a photograph taken by the school for the children who were starting their first communion. That day a ball appeared, we started to play with it until they started to call us and in a hurry they showed us our places, for some reason I kept the ball in my hands, due to the panic I felt I “hid” it under my chair and smiled. I think I was 10 years old, the picture was taken in the first yard of the school. Pdt: The photo in the picture was sent to me by my Bro some time ago, and unless I can find the original I will use this one for the time being. This picture was taken by my dad on my graduation day of my last school year. I was 18 years old, the picture was taken in the third yard. The timing of the photo was when the event was over and we were able to spend time with our families and friends, from there funny things happened. I was posing for a family photo, until my Bro appeared behind m...

Fiestas Patrias 2024

Imagen
During the Fiestas Patrias I went to my grandparents' house in San Antonio, I stayed home all week, slept very late and took the opportunity to catch up on One Piece anime, eat a lot of meat and be with my dogs and my grandparents. The only day I went out was the day before the 18th to go visit my dad's house who lives with his girlfriend. It was “empanadas day”, so that's what I had for lunch. My dad had to leave for x reason, so I stayed home with his girlfriend and daughters playing Monopoly, I lost the game, but it was fun. On the last day I was at my grandparents' house, I commented that I couldn't eat meat or empanadas anymore and my grandpa cooked me fried fish in the afternoon, it was delicious and made me happy.

My semester

Imagen
My favorite class is “Interaction and Experience Design”, because for the assignments I formed a good team with a group of friends, and the project we are doing now is related to a topic that we like in common; besides the professor is super nice and he makes me laugh a lot when he calls us “humans”. The “FAU transversal” is the class that I have enjoyed the least because in my work team we only work with two people, since one of my colleagues dropped out of the class and the other one doesn't communicate with us. And to be honest, doing these types of projects applied to the field, such as modifying the streets, is not my thing, so it is more difficult for me. I organize my homework according to priority and due date, so far I haven't had any problem with that system. But in order not to stress myself too much, I give myself free time to play video games like Genshin Impact. One thing I would highlight from the semester is that I have 4 days for lunch at my house, that has hel...
