POST 7: Changes to my Study Program

        The career I am studying is called Film and Television, a career that recently made a change in its curriculum. The new curriculum has been active for 5 years, so we have not yet graduated generations with this change.

Probably if I had the possibility I think I would try to visit different epochs in the future, making short visits with the goal of choosing the best time/space in the history of the planet. Also if we are talking about time travel, I think I would visit quite a few epochs in the past and I think this idea appeals to me more than a trip to the future.
