Dream job (?)

At the time I really have no idea of what I'd like to do with my life in the future, so I'm gonna be very vague and unspecific with this post.

What I do know are the characteristics of my dream job. I love travelling and I would like my job to be one of those where you travel abroad a lot and get to know many places and historic sites. It has to be a job that has at least a little to do with what I am studying, hopefully one where I can write a lot.

At the moment of choosing my job I would consider how many days of the week and hours I'll have to work, and most importantly I'd pay a lot of attention to the amount of free days I'd have, it would be perfect to have 3 months long vacations! I'm not very demanding about money, so as long as I can survive and eventually buy a house I would be happy about it.


I think my most important strengths are patience (I can wait, and wait, and wait, and wait), tenacity (I try to finish everything I start) and I think I'm am very reliable, with important things I'm not used to disappointing people. My weakness are being a little clingy, sometimes I don't let things go, even when everybody knows it's impossible to keep going on. I'm also very straightforward, and a lot of times people are offended by what I say.

As I said before, I don't really know what to be in the future. i would really like to be a writer, but I also think that working in what I am studying can be fun, sometimes.

Halloween


Today I'm going to be very predictable and write about that important and revolutionary date called Halloween. To be more precise, I'm going to tell you about Halloween costumes, because I love dressing up. I didn't like this date a lot, I used to stay at my home and yell at the little kids that went ringing my doorbell, but last year I changed my mind and decided to make a different costume every year, one that no one that I know will use.

Last year I grabbed one of my father coats and some fabric, then I started crafting my costume. I dressed up as Adolf Hitler, because I thought: why not? When I exited my house and went to the street, people told me stuff and throwed candy at me, it was pretty awesome.

This year I chose to dress up as a lady, a really pretty lady. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a stereotypical lesbian or a stereotypical "XXI century society" beautiful woman, so I mixed those ideas and the result was pretty nice. I didn't come out of my house because I was scared of  what people could do to me and Halloween was the day before, so I stayed at home with two friends. Some people told me that I looked like Carolina Tohá, Santiago's recently elected mayor, so I now tell everybody that I dressed up as her.

Here's a comparison of my costumes: 
Nice

So now I'm looking for ideas for next year's costume, I was thinking I could be a priest or Virgin Mary, but there's a whole year to decide so it isn't one of my priorities.

Cheers!
