I don't have many plans so far since I'm pending my university activities. However, together with my boyfriend I want to go to the north of Chile, specifically to the Elqui Valley and visit different beaches there. I also plan to go to Tunquen for a week with my college friends and enjoy the beach if possible due to the winter weather. Lastly I plan to visit my grandparents who live in Linares and spend time with them since I haven't seen them in a while. 

My bucket list

The truth is that I have never had a bucket list but if I did I would like to add several things that I would love to accomplish in my life in a not so long time.  First of all, I would take every opportunity to save money to be able to travel around the world getting to know new places and cultures at every possible opportunity with the people I love the most, mainly my friends and my boyfriend because they are people I enjoy spending time with and doing new activities. I have been doing this for a while now but I would like to continue and get to know thousands of places more. It would also be in my bucket list to go to study to reach a higher level of study outside of Chile, hopefully in a European country. Unlike my previous plan, I would like to do this on my own because I think it is an excellent opportunity to grow, learn and enjoy by myself. Finally, I would like to live alone and independent from my parents, but this seems to me more of a dream than something that I will achie

TV shows and series

Hello everyone, today I am going to talk to you about my favorite TV shows and series.  When I was a girl I really liked the disney channel shows like hannah montana because I found that the life of the characters was very funny. Like for example the main character who had a double life being totally famous and admired in one and an ordinary person in the other. Nowadays the series that call my attention the most are the ones with criminal plots, since I am very distracted and this kind of programs have suspense and that keeps my concentration and interest in it active.  Even so my favorite series of all time is breaking bad as I find it is very well done and the ending even more so. From my own experience I think that having TV in the room can be very entertaining on one hand and is a great companion in moments of boredom. But at the same time I think it is very detrimental to the development of many other activities functioning both as a distractor when studying, as a limitation to c

Post 6: English Language Challenges

My experience with university English has not been the best because I think I have not been responsible enough to take advantage of these instances but I think that the material provided by the teachers in the university platform is very good to improve the level of English.  Doing weekly blogs and reading those of my classmates I think is what has contributed the most to my learning of English in the course since it has allowed me to put into practice what I am learning class by class and has forced me to write in this language. I think there are three aspects in which I need to improve my English, in the use of grammar, expand my vocabulary to be able to speak more fluently and improve my listening skills. For the first I think it would be very helpful to review the material uploaded to this course on the use of verbs, for the second I intend to start reading books and papers in English and for the last I want to start watching movies in this language without subtitles to refine my h

Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme

Regarding the curriculum, the workload and the duration of studies, I would make a couple of changes so that in general the curriculum and the learning acquired would be more organized and complete. I would add in the first semesters a couple of obligatory courses on psychoanalysis, with respect to the taking of elective courses that starts in the third year I would organize it in a better way since many students cannot access their preferences. Finally, I would organize the curriculum in such a way that it is possible to leave the fifth year and graduate with a specialization, so that it is not necessary to obtain it through a master's degree. On the subject of infrastructure, I would remodel the FACSO building completely, since in my opinion it is very obsolete in terms of infrastructure and its spaces are not sufficient for all students to carry out their academic activities comfortably. And with respect to the current situation due to the pandemic, I would be concerned about op

Post 4: Time travel to the past or future

  If I could travel through time I would choose to travel to the past, as thinking about the future has always scared me a bit. I don't like it when technology starts to replace basic functions of human beings, such as searching for food, walking, etc. And the great technological advances and the speed with which they are being carried out makes me think that those functions, as well as the jobs we do, will be replaced by technology. I would like to travel hundreds of years ago to Europe mainly to be an explorer who discovers new territories and performs extreme expeditions to achieve it. I find this very interesting because those explorers traveled through territories where few or no people had ever been, so they were completely virgin areas of human intervention and maintained their natural flora and fauna. In this way those who discovered new territories survived in a primitive way during their expeditions just as our first ancestors did, which I find very interesting to exper

Post 3: My dream Job

What I would like most is to be a university professor, because I feel that they have a lot of knowledge about their subjects and contribute to something fundamental for the development of the country, the world, and society: education. Besides influencing the life of each student and knowing their different realities, which is always enriching. I would like to specialize in some area because I think it is essential to have better job opportunities and be a better teacher, plus I know I want to do it about psychoanalysis. I believe that I should develop educational and pedagogical skills to be a better professional, besides learning other fundamental languages such as English. I imagine myself mainly in Chile, although it would be a great and difficult dream to be able to teach in other countries and live outside of Chile or Santiago. I also see myself writing my own books and doing research at the same time as teaching, which I am very excited about. I think that the salary woul
