Get us out of COVID, amén

Imagen
I would like to travel to last Tuesday. That day I was doing my many daily tasks as usual: going to university, looking for something to solve the economics, taking care of the garden, and going out with a friend for a drink, a coffee or a beer. But when I got home, I didn't know what was waiting for me, it must have been at the time I knocked on the doorknob of apartment 1404. My roommate had already arrived, the kittens were meowing while I tried to put the key in the lock. When I turned the handle, I was already doomed, I got covid at that time. On Thursday the scenario was hopeless, my roomie had confirmed covid, I had some symptoms, but it could be that I was premenstrual, allergy or the dreaded covid. I took a test early Friday, it came out negative, even undefeated to the virus I resumed my schedule. But on Sunday, after a night out, I woke up with a big hangover that didn't go away. I had things to do in the afternoon and I thought, will it be a hangover or will it be c...

Work and salary

 The job of my dreams would be to be able to do the things I do and receive sufficient financial compensation to live well. I like to work, but I think the problem is in salaried work. In order to fulfill the objective of writing this blog, I would say that the job of my dreams is to play in a consolidated band or theater company, which gives me time to continue working socially, to do classes and travel. I am not looking for a salary that makes me rich, but one that allows me to live calmly, and I believe that this goes hand in hand with the social rights that we have guaranteed. For the life of a person who is dedicated to music and does not have a permanent job, it is difficult to get an idea of a monthly salary. I have worked on different things outside the musical, supermarkets, subway, call center, the countryside, fast food, shops, etc. And I don't like working on those things, I just want to dedicate some music, either as an interpreter or as a teacher, but that allows me t...

Holidays to learn

  I don't know if it was really a vacation, but in February 2020 I had the opportunity to travel with a group of comrades and friends to Argentina in what could be described as an exchange. I belong to a social organization in Chile that has close ties with an Argentine social organization, and in that summer we were traveling all month knowing the experience of our Argentine comrades. There are many memories, there were many learnings, and a lot of responsibility, but I want to highlight an activity in which I felt the greatest weight of the responsibility I was carrying. I had to talk at the end of a march in front of a number of people that I could not describe at that time, there were thousands of people waiting for a word from a young Chilean woman who came from a country where the people had been in a social revolt. Finally, what I can say is that I received a lot more than I could deliver.

Globetrotter (?)

Since I became aware of the world I have wanted to travel. So far I have traveled in some countries in Latin America, but every time I think about traveling to my head, perhaps the easiest one comes, Argentina. My favorite place in this country has been changing in time, it is currently in the northwest, in San Miguel de Tucuman, Los Valles Calchaquíes, I would visit them again and many times, like Salta, where I have passed, but I have never managed to tour that city with so much history around a music that suits me a lot, the Argentine zamba. My main objective is to travel, meet people, experiences and if it were possible to go live, at some point in my life, I would study guitar.
