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.

blog 3

The animal that I have always had by my side is the dog, I have had many dogs during  my life, but many have died of old and others have been lost regrettably. At present I have four dogs, their names are: Oso, Walter and Flaco.

Oso is a dog that gave me an uncle when I was a little girl, was very violent, barked a lot, but during the time we gave affection, which made him more silent with us, because with the rest is still violent.

Walter is a dog who was born in Puerto Varas, lived with my brother, and when he moved to Santiago he brought it with him. I met him when he had months to live, he was very cute. Now Walter is very big and very smart, he lives in my house because there is more space.

Flaco is with us since his mother was alive, has more 10 years human, his name is porch is literally thin, he eats a lot but not fattening.

With my three pets I have never gone on vacation and haven’t slept inside my house, because they are very large and messy.

Blog 2

My Best vacation was in 2015, I remember having spent my 15 years on that holiday, along with my brother and his girlfriend, it was the first time that the three of us went together, it was a very enjoyable experience as we traveled along the Austral Road in Jeep for two weeks in  January. We forgot to eat and sleep in places "privileged ", everything we did in rustic places and in the midst of nature, where there were no signs and where it was not very common to see the cars. We Traveled hours and hours, every place did not cease to amaze us, we met very nice people who were like ourselves. However, what surprised me is that I saw more foreigners than Chileans who visit these beautiful places, it must be because many prefer to travel to other countries, but they are missing the opportunity to know an incredible Patagonia. It Has been the best so far because Chile surprised me with many interesting places that are hidden, which makes us think they do not exist.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

I would like to visit Spain, especially Barcelona because it has a culture and infrastructure that catches my attention, as well as the Catalan language, in the same way I would not miss the opportunity to visit the capital, Madrid. Spain has nearby countries that can be visited more easily than it is with Chile, therefore I would visit as much as possible of "nearby" locations, sounds interesting and entertaining. In addition to visiting museums and monuments, I would like to visit my childhood friend, who lives there 3 years ago and since that day I have not seen her, she usually invites me, but for what it takes to travel to Europe I haven’t had the opportunity, I hope to have it someday soon. I would like to live there and work, but only for a few months because I think I would miss my family, which would mean traveling constantly to Chile and that would be a lot of work, although I would have to see it with time, they are unpredictable things that only destiny will solve.
