My beloved faculty

Hello

I study Anthropology in Social Science Faculty in the University of Chile. My faculty is located in Campus Juan Gomez Millas, and near of it are other faculties: Arts, Natural Science, Philosophy and Humanities, the Institute of Communication and Image and College. This Campus isn't very pretty as others ones of the same University. Although, it has something more important than the order of the buildings or if it has great and perfect gardens: this campus has an active university life! There are so many people that walk everyday across the campus, and any single person has their own style, then it is too picturesque to see them. Also, in the "grasses" always are people talking, studying, reading, playing music, or drinking , even more if is Friday in the afternoon.

About my faculty, this is like a big brown box, but more than that, the building is like a big big stairs. You can see this figure if you stand up in the "bridge” and look it up.

Inside, the first floor it is too cold, even if we are in summer or winter, but while you are going up stairs the air becomes hotter than before.

I think that the "immaterial" things are really well in this faculty in sense of relationships among students, coexistence, activities, or spiritual environment, but the material thing isn’t so well: bathrooms don’t have enough toilet paper, and it is complicated when there are a lot of people who wants to do pipi. Besides, the library doesn’t have all the books that we, as students, need. It is a shame because sometimes we need some texts to do our essays and reports and sometimes we have to go to other faculties to looking for them; also, there is not enough space for all of us, and it isn’t like a real library because we can’t have enough “privacy” and silence to study or read.

Related to our “program” or subjects, I think that it is not really well. In my opinion we are in a “test period” and we’ve been (sometimes) spend our time for nothing. It really makes me feel angry because I would use in a better way that time. In fact I didn’t learn so many things because I did a lot of works under pressure, then I couldn’t internalize them very well and the contents of each matter neither. I would like to have less subjects and more free time to study all my subjects in a better way.

I think that there are things that I couldn’t to resolve directly (like the toilet paper), but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have anything to do for it: I can say that there are some problems and contribute to their solution, no matter the way.

Finally there is something that I really don’t’ like: there isn’t any bench in all the campus!!!!!!!!!! I like to sit down in the grass, but I prefer a bench….

And this is all for today, bye!
