Changes To My Study Programme

In general, changes to the study programme  takes a lot of time because this it implies a lot of factors like time, people ,how expensive and how convenient is this new changes in the programme but always we can raise our voice and demands new improvements and that get a better formation like professionals and not only us but also the future students of the faculty.
When I decided study chemistry, the first thing I saw was the programme of the career, I mean, which subjects and labs I will have to pass for become in Chemist. So, I saw the  programme of many colleges and obviously, I decided to study here in this faculty.
I love the faculty programme but in others areas it fails. For example, I think is nothing more pleasant than a nap on the grass or when you eat in a place comfortable but in our faculty we dont have tables or green areas for everyone and this little things I think makes a big difference in our perfomance in our studies.
But not everything is bad in our faculty, I consider the teachers are great professionals when we talk about teaching, they always says where are their office for we can go and solve our doubts when in the class they cant and I really appreciate that.
Also, the faculty It has been able to stay in a line with technology, I mean, it has known how to implement the new technological tools so that we students can take advantage of them. For example, being able to take subjects online or check our marks from our phone is something incredible.

Summer Holidays

For me, planning activities for the summer is something very fun because in my mind I think a lots of activities like travel or hang out with my friends to some places that in the year its more difficult to visit.

My plans for the next summer are hopefully travel to Cordoba to see my cousin Jose, he lives in there since August for studies and also he got a chance to play rugby in Tala, a very important club in Cordoba. I love rugby too, so he invited me and my others cousins to spend a week  with he and their team, he says rugby lives differently there, I mean, its more thrilling even more than soccer.

Another plan in mind is go to the south of Chile with my brother. My brother and I are very close and everytime we do it things together. He is a very good company because he complements me very well. Nevertheless, like all brothers in the world, sometimes we have arguments but always can fix them and spend a great time together.

But my plans are not only with my brother. I pretend travel even one day with my son, I really want create some memories with him because when I see the pictures with my dad I really feel something indescribable. So, I want the same for Matias.

But no only you can travel in the summer, You can go to the cinema, to the pool, make a picnic and many others activities. My favorite activity is when you walk trough some park and see all the kids playing with water, running and climbing the trees or when you hang out with someone special for you and see her smile with the sun behind.

                                           

Addiction: From Tea and Coffee to Drugs of Abuse

I dont think I have an addiction because I consider myself too lazy to have one, I mean, I get bored very quickly about some activitie or substance. but I know the risk to have some addiction like alcohol or marijuana and this is one of the less dangerous in my perspective comparing with others "hard drugs" like crack or cocaine.
I think anything suibstance  in excess is dangerous, even water or exercises for example. Also, so many people says "we have only one life so we must try everything" or "somehow we have to die" to excuse some addiction but I think we must have some respect for our body. In other words, if you have to work the next day is not very smart if you get drunk the night before, but if you do not have anything do not worry about it or if you prefer stay awake watching some series or movie.
maybe one "addiction" I have  is play video games alone but strictly in the night. I do not know why but in the night I watch things that in every other moment of the day I dont see . Its sounds very  stupid but for me have a lot of sense. so, when I buy some new game for my PS4 I only play when its dark and quiet in my room.
When I was a child, one of my "addictions" was collect frog plush.My dad brought me each week one for my collection. Until day, I have 30 in my room without counting other teddies I have.

Post Graduate Studies

Its a very important decision when someone  decides start some major or phD because the money and the time expended is only a few factors that you have to sacrifice for improve in an area about your career.
But in spite of all the sacrifice, its a very important step in our formation like professional. Also, the benefits of finish succesfully a major or a phD  increase the posibilities of get a better job or at least earn more money.
Personally, I dont think start a major or phD when finish my carrer but I love the idea to start a new career like Pedagogy in chemistry, obviously. My dream allways was teach sciences but specifically  chemistry for the new scientists of Chile. I love how does that sound, help for the childrens get more interest in sciences and hopefully, the government provide programs and scolarships for people who interest sciences will makes a real changes in our country and the world.
So, thats my plan when finish this career, get a job like chemist  and  start to study a new career to become in  teacher and after that,teach to the children in my own laboratory and so they have the luck of live the experience of work in a lab and the importance of sciences in the development of the world.

My future job

When I start my studies in the faculty my dream was open an independent drugstore in Santiago but in a place where the people dont have money for pay expensives prices of their medicine. In that time, I will pretend change from Chemistry to Pharmacy but when I finish the first year, I discovered my true drive was teach child about the wonderfull world of chemistry.
Actually, sometimes I earn some money teaching chemistry to childs in high school. The feeling when they show me their marks and see how they improve and get more interested in sciences is something indescribable.
My dream actually is study Pedagogy and hopefully work in the school that I studied. Also, I love the idea about travel around the world to places with non resources and teach to the childrens about science.

Old and New Hobbies

I consider myself a person who gets bored very quickly of every activity. But some activities I love since I was a kid. When I arrived in Chile in 2002 for Christmas, my Aunt and her boyfriend gave us the Nintendo 64 with two games controllers to my brother and I. At that time I fell in love with video games. With him, we stay awake for four or five hours at night playing video games like Resident Evil saga or some matches in FIFA. Also, we decided who  makes dinner or wash the dishes with a "fifita". It's funny because he always ask me to rematch. Currently, we save money for the best game in the world, "Star Wars: Battlefront 2". this game will be available in November and I can not wait to have it in my hands.

Another of my favorite hobbies are watch some series, this is a Hobbie recently but very addictive. When my brother and I can not play, I kill the time watching some TV shows. My favorite series are the ones that make me imagine myself in this universe or I can see the evolution of the characters. For example, "The Walking Dead" is one of my favorite series because I can imagine running from the zombies or making difficult decisions for my family. 

Star Wars, the clone war. I love this series because it is Star Wars universe. Also, explain in detail why the Jedi are "knights of peace" and what  are their job to keep the peace in the universe.

Our Amazing Human Body

I dont very sure if the legs  are calified in the category of "organs" but I think is a very important  part of our body. They are made for us to walk ,. jump, run, climb and so many other activities and without them we never make possible.
The legs are more complicated than we see, I mean, in the legs we have many muscles, veins and bones that together makes  we can enjoy our lifes. In the past, I really dont care about my body and especially my legs because when I was a child, it seems so far the future and now, the "future" is here.
Unfortunately, it was late to make a change. In May, I was injured doing my favorite sport, rugby. The first days were awful, so much pain and suffer. It was very stressful to me because I dont like asking for help and I cant do my things by myself. Also, the diagnosis about the recovery and the time that I will wait to get back to the field and practice rugby were discouraging. But, I think when we strive in our own recovery, we are rewarded.
Actually, I have to go to the kinesiologist and make the exercises that he say, it is some boring but today the diagnosis about the time that I will wait its very short and I see now the reward.

My best holydays

when I was a kid, my vacation was only with my mother or even with my grandmother. That's because my father was in another country and when he arrived in Chile, he worked all the time so it was very difficult for us to plan our vacations.
But, in the summer of 2014, my mom, my dad and my brother went to many beaches in Chile, like El Quisco, Papudo, Los Vilos and Guanaqueros. The funny thing about the trip was that we went in our car so we could listen to our favorite music. This served to know each other.
The climate of that summer was very pleasant, so we all enjoy the water, even my father who does not like the sea, I mean, he loves to see the sea, but he hates to swim there.
We had four wonderful days and this trip joined us and know our dreams. Unfortunately, we lost the camera so we do not have photos about this "adventure", but this memory I get a space in my heart
From this summer until today, we try to go out at least once a month to not lose the tradition. It is very fun to go out with them and share moments that in my childhood did not

A country you would like to visit

Hi everyone, so this week's blog talks about which country I like to visit. It is very difficult to choose a single country because I believe that all the countries of the world have their own beauty, I mean, if you think that maybe Argentina is similar Chile because both are in South America are completely wrong.

As a child, my dream was to travel the world, specifically to U.K and Ireland. These countries have magnificent castles, rivers and lakes. In addition, his own culture is mysterious and his contribution to history is very important

I hope to travel some day to these countries and to see places like "Big Ben" or the castles of Scotland and Wales but above all, to enjoy the streets and infrastructure of the cities that mix the old and the modern that make a beautiful landscape. Also, I would like to study in some of these countries but I do not see myself living forever here without my family.
