Summer Plans

This year I moved to Santiago and I live with a friend of my faculty in an appartment that it's near to the university. My mom and my stepfather helps me paying my rent because I don't have many time to work now. But, in the summer I will have to work to pay my rent so I' wont have time for travels...
Anyway I wish I could visit my hometown at least for a week, I would like to visit my best friends, my grandma and my cousin. Near my hometown (Concepción) there is a beautiful beach called Ramuntcho were you can go camping, I would like to camp there with my best friends and with friends of my faculty who have never visited Concepción. The last year with my friends we camped in Quillón and we have a good time together so this summer I would like to repeat that.

Besides that, maybe not this summer but I would like to visit Chiloé, I think it's a very interesting city, and the south of Chile in general seems a good destination for me.
In another future summer, maybe in 3 years, I would like to visit Colombia because I think that it's a beautiful country with great journalists who have resisted corrupt governments, false peace agreements and the pressure of drug trafficking. (I recommend you a colombian Youtube channel called "La Pulla", there are journalists comment on colombian and Latin American reality).

Well, so this summer I will work but I hope I can go to Ramuntcho. I will leave a photo so you can see how beautiful that beach is

Series: "When they see us"

My favorite serie since 2015 was "Psycho-Pass". But, in last July a friend recommended me to watch "When they see us".

"When they see us" is web serie produced for Netflix that it's based on the events of the 1989 "Central Park Joger" case. The show explores the lifes of the five males suspects who were accused of rape and assault. Four of the five men were afroamerican, and the other one was latin. They were innocent, but condemned anyway.
I enjoy the series who are based on real events, but I specially liked "When they see us" because it expose the flaws of the american judicial system. Also, it reveals how racist the american society trully is.
 When I was watching the show, I cried on every episode because the violence who suffered the five innocent guys was just heartbreaking. That is a side of the society who no one wants to see: the side who oppress people that are not white.
In the first episodes, we can see how the police department pressured the five guys to "confess" the crime even when the clues, the places and the time did not fit. They don't even try to get another suspect. It was so frustrating, but at least, in 2003 the real five men sued the City of New York for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress. The case was settled in 2016 for a total of $3.9 million.

Now, I would like to see Sense8 because it is a friend's favorite serie and she always tells me about how good it is. 

My future job

My dream job is to be an investigative journalist.
I don't know where I would like to be that, but I imagine myself trying to investigate things that are hide, things that the people have to know. Maybe in the world, specially in South America, is very dangerous to be a journalist who want to bother the powerful ones, but I'm not scare about that. Obviously sometimes the job would be outdoors and other times indoors, it will depends on the case.

I would like to travel, but I don't know where, because I think that my job could be usefull in many countries, and I'm willing to travel anywhere. But, I know I will miss my friends, in fact I already miss them now in university haha. This year I'm studying my first year of journalism. I have theoretical subjects more than practice, but I like that. In the future I will have subjects associated with TV, radio, reportage, etc.

The salary is not important to me. I don't even think about that to much, I'm fine with a simple life, so I just want a salary that allowed me to have that. I want a little apartment, and if I stay in a city for some years I would like to have a cat.
