Post 10: English Language Challenges

The truth is that I would like to have no English because it takes a lot of time for the other subjects of the university, it is tiring to have English approximately 3 hours a week, I think I could rest my mind a little in those 3 hours that can mean a lot for me. But on the other hand I think it's good, because nowadays English is essential in life, whether for work, in daily life or in traveling to other countries, it's a language that I think is practiced all over the planet. Sometimes at university I feel intimidated, because I do not have a good basis, therefore it makes it harder for me to quickly learn or understand what they say in English, I do not have very good audition in English. I think blogs help us have better grammar skills. I also think I should improve my hearing in this language, I think I could improve speaking to native English speakers, to better understand their vocabulary. Out of class I'm using my English very little, only when I hear songs, but nothing else, I think I should practice it, but I have little free time, I only take advantage of clearing my mind with things I like.

LEVEL 4 - Post 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

I consider important some changes that should be useful in my career and also at the level of the faculty. Personally I would like my career to evaluate in the most open way, I mean that they are not the tests with the alternatives, because I think that learning is not handled correctly, the opposite, rather, implement a method of evaluation, in addition to The development tests. At the faculty level, I would like to allow access and use of the faculties that are on the campus unused, because the students belong to careers that do not have optimal places of study. In my faculty should build more classrooms, but large, as we currently use very narrow classrooms in FACSO, there are no seats for 90 people, and on the other hand, the chairs are old, are very uncomfortable, are uneven, pencils and Notebooks fall into our legs.
They also have to make changes to the bathrooms, they are very old, there is no toilet paper and rarely soap. I find it very unfair that the postgraduate has better rooms and bathrooms instead of undergraduate, maybe have a good image of college in graduate school or there may be more money, I do not know... But it must be equitable, the same with other faculties, such as engineering, Beauchef or FEN, which are the faculties that through their infrastructure show better conditions of study for students. Unfortunately in JGM there are careers that are often devalued by society

POST 8 >> PERSONAL OPINIONS

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet?

My opinion about having an exotic mascot is that I would not have any because it sounds dangerous, if you do not have enough care with the pet, it can cause harm to us and to itself. Also you must have a lot of money, because occasionally you have to create your own habitat, within ours, which means a lot of dedication.

What is your opinion about women in the military?

It seems very fair that there are military women because it allows gender equality, especially in the military school, since that is seen as a place to exercise the stereotype of masculinity, because women before society are "weak" , who is not qualified for "hard" jobs, carrying weapons, it is good to break with stereotypes.

What is your opinion about tattoos?

My personal opinion about tattoos is that I don't like it completely, I think I only like small tattoos, which have a very special meaning and does not cover the natural beauty., but all people have the right to do whatever they want with their body , we're free.

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called “mechoneo”?

Personally and currently the tradition of the mechoneos that I don't like, violates the rights of each individual, since years ago it was considered an obligation for all first-year students, forced to perform shameful actions with more witnesses. However, when I was in school I wanted to be made mechoneo, I felt a level of superiority, that is, more adult, like "Oh, now you are unversite!". 

blog 7: SPORTS

Since childhood has been interesting for me to do some sport, that's how I started practicing volleyball when I was 14 years in school, participated in the championships, in the breaks I used to play with my classmates, I had a great time, I was full of energy , but after the volleyball workshop I bored because it was always the same, I wanted to play more, instead of training. However, I stopped practicing this sport. I became more sedentary. Later I became interested in urban skating, I did not know how to rollerblade, but I wanted to learn, what I achieved on my own. I met a friend who skated years ago, who helped me make routes, since I didn't know how to skate. I really enjoyed the experience, I remember it was 36k who visited me with a very large group of skaters, it took us about 2 hours. My friend went to live in Punta Arenas, which meant I never saw him again. I stopped skating for a while and focused only on the academic side, however, a couple of months ago I remembered that I had skates and I became interested again, but as I did not know how to do many basic and essential things to skate, I decided to take skateboarding classes , in which I am currently, I feel that it has helped me a lot to forget about the university, I am taking advantage of a lot.

blog 6: POSTGRADUATE STUDIE

I'm in my second year of psychology, so far I haven't thought about postgraduate studies yet. However, it would not be easier. I would like to be the specialization that would have in the future, would be about the development of children, ie the educational area, is very interesting, I imagine that a postgraduate course on that subject would be fun for me. I have many professors who have done their postgraduate studies in Spain, especially at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, which could be an option, but I really do not want to do a postgraduate, requires a lot of effort and perseverance.

Also, travelling and living for a few years in Europe would be quite solitary, because I have no relatives there, just a childhood friend, but the affective bond has been lost, but it would be a great opportunity, which is hard to refuse, I think. It would also be a good option to do a postgraduate in Chile, I do not know where, there is a lot of time for that, but also would be more comfortable and useful part-time, beyond my things, I think not only we should focus on the university, it is always good to leave some time for myself, for example, to make a hobby, something that could be distracted. I've never talked about the future, but this is as close as I can imagine.

blog 5: My Future Job

I would like to work many years in my country, Chile, and maybe in another country, just for a even of years, I don’t think that forever, I would have to feel very good there to never return to Chile or not miss my family, but I don’t think that happens.

I would also like to have a job dedicated to education, I like children, they are adorable, I would like to specialize in “infant-young”, there I could vary, in that area I could work in the outdoors or indoors. It would be interesting if I could travel a lot for my work, but I would like to travel within Chile, it would be a great opportunity to work on what I like and in turn, knowing many beautiful places that Chile has. I don’t know if I would like to have a great salary, I think with the opportunity to travel for my work would be an ideal job.

I have also thought about a future to travel to another country being a psychologist, but I think I would have to continue studying, for example a postgraduate course to get a good job in another country, I would not like to be for many years, I have a very good relationship with my family, so I would miss her very much, but that does not mean I should close myself to opportunities that can satisfy me as a person.

blog 4: Music

Since I was 15 years old, I started to listen to music of the style latin pop. I have always been carried away by the rhythm of the song, and not by their letter, but since I started listening to Latin pop, is that now I have more attention to his letter, which transmits, i like to be listening and imagine the story behind each phrase, it is interesting to think what would be happening the composer while she wrote it. That's how I knew about the existence of Camila Gallardo, a Chilean singer, who for the first time I heard on the radio, which made then look for it on YouTube, I discovered more songs, leaving very happy with them, liking his melody and lyrics, the perfect combination.

During the holidays, I went to a concert of Camila Gallardo, it was fantastic to see her live, it's amazing how she manages to convey joy and charisma by singing, he did so with much passion, was close to the public, that it made me like it more. I loved singing his songs in front of her and with more people around me, it felt great, his love for music is very present, I would repeat the experience one more time.
