Hello guys:
In a few days the present academic year will finish and now is a good moment to review how it has been (especially, because I have a lot of time to do it right now…lol). How my academic year has been? In general, I can say that this has been a good academic year, it especially because the academic load has been low. The first term was good, because I can introduce more into the different specializations of my career and the second term has been even better because I could choose the subjects that I wanted to study, which has been incredible. This academic year has been much easier than the two previous, I had to do fewer subject than before and my ability to study improved very much. During the first term I could learn about many fields of the psychology, which help me to define my preferences into the career. I could visit different places where a psychologist can work, such as schools, courts, community centers, among others. Also, I could to talk with psychologists who are working in these places and they give me an approximation about how are these places to work.
During that time I confirmed my originals interest to get into this career that I love: the Clinical Psychology and the Forensic Psychology. The second term has been extremely relaxed, in a first moment, which has made me feel very good, because I have been less anxious and less tired than the other years. I have had more time to enjoy my family. On the other hand with regard to the subjects that I choose, just two are very interesting one “special phenomena in violent crimes” (from forensic area) and something like “Psycodinamic diagnosis” (from clinical area); the rest of them are very disappointed. I have expected more practical subject to third year of Psychology.
In a second time this term has been very stressing, because I must to hand in a lot of report and I have a lot of oral presentations. I’m on the edge of madness.
To sum up, this year has been a good year, until now… because it is not yet ended to me. Anyway, this year is very important to me, because it get close a little more to my dream: became to a Psychologist. What more can I say? I hope so that every year get better and better.

welcome to my world!
Today, I am going to talk about a very important topic: challenges of Psychology. So more respect…
Psychology always has faced the questioning about its quality of scientific discipline; to work to abstract contains, with subjectives elements, with a lot of theories, with black box, for example, it’s not help at all. Lot of people consider our profession as “pay for friends”; or still they talk about if “believe” or not to psychologist as superstition or some kind of faith.
On the other hand, in our country the most of material with we use to study psychology is very old. The most recent researches are made in other languages such as German, English or French; and its translated version or The Classical translation into Spanish are very dubious. And that it is a comparative disadvantage.
One critical issue that disturbs to our discipline (and unfortunately always will be the same) is the thin red line to separate who are normal or who are not. This always obeys to specific culture, time or interest; then is very complicate to set up an unquestionable classification that not make excess or unfair diagnoses that damage in one way the life of the person who are different, singular or particular. The world never loves to exceptions.
In my opinion other important issue to psychology is the great amount of people to suffer mental illness; then is very important to introduce the self-care since early state of development. The people underestimate the huge difference between deny the psychological problems and to face up them. In this point our topic is connected with the need to have a better education; an integral education that encourage the mental health.
Finally, I must say that psychology has demonstrated its relevance on life of people, in their quality of life; but in nowadays there is a other significant problem to it must face up: the huge amount of fakes psychologist (“chanta psychologist”). They are a shame to profession. They don’t feel the great responsibility and privilege to someone ask your lead to get better. They suck!
The old proverb says “the doctor, actor and crazy everybody has a little bit”… and I add from psychologist too.

one for all, and all for one
Hi today I’m going to talk about a serious topic: the current situation in my faculty.
Universidad de Chile has been a one of the most important Educational Institution in our country, but one of the things that it always surprises me is the different quality and quantity of recourses from one faculty to another. The Faculty of Social Sciences (FACSO), where I study has a few recourses; the quality of library is unsatisfactory: very old publications, not enough numbers of copies for title, in some cases only phototocopies. Another things is that we don’t have a study room… we study on the library and all the time one peculiar character make us to be quiet.
Our Faculty is composed of four careers: Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology and Education. But this last career has not a floor like other careers (or classrooms). It’ seems to me so unfair.
Other issue it is the construction of the list of curricular courses of Psychology career to modify the former version it from when the career length six years. Now that it is essay and mistake. Some course of my list of curricular courses seems a joke.
Other problem is the access to career to people who has less: the persons more poor in our country, because the last time the high class has entered to traditional University with more easily than the other group.
The solution to this entire situation is that the University begins to think as one; the recourses join in all University would be to WHOLE University and once and again our study house remember which is: a public, pluralist and a University of excellence.

the sound of the music
Hi! The topic of today is music of my life. I like music, because I feel that it is the soundtrack of the different moments that I’ve lived. For this reason I like a very different kind of music.
I spend along time of my day on travelling, and this is why the music is very important in my life. My old and broken down pendrive is a very good friend of mine.
An interesting thing is that music also can be full of bad memories and then I can´t listen to it any more.
Depending on my mood I listen to sad music, rage music, nostalgic music, romantic music, and music with a deep message. For example I like very much Violeta Parra and Victor Jara; also I like classical music, especially baroque music and my favorite author is Johan Sebastian Bach; Buena Vista Social Club as well as la Vieja Trova; Trip Hop is one of my favorite music with groups such as Moloko, Portishead, Mandalay among others. Kelly Clarkson and Alanis Morriset accompanied me for a while, after I broke up with my ex and I felt so much angry (lol) her lyrics are very cathartic. I love the music and lyrics of Evanescence, Amy Lee’s voice makes me to hallucinate. Bjork… she is superb I love her voice and her poetry lyrics.
The last musical discovery is Jorge Drexler a Uruguayan author, he is very romantic and I enjoy so much his lyrics.
In short, I think that music is very important and it has a therapeutic function because it allows emotion focus on a positive and healthy direction (What would say Freud…)

The article talks about a childhood dreams jobs and how when you grow up this interest changes into a different jobs.
Young artists belong to Walbottle Village primary school, Newcastle draw their professions of their dreams, fulled of imagination and creativity.
The top ten of childhood dreams jobs is head for teacher, doctor and vet, following by footballer, fireman, actor, policeman, dancer and hairdresser.
However, some 69% of 3,000 parents surveyed admitted they had failed to follow their dream career path. This happen partly because can be expensive pay for them.
Expert says that when your job is too far from your ideal isn’t a good sign. For some workers who realize they are nowhere near their dream, knowing what it looks like is the problem. Childhood dreams are not necessarily an indicator of what you will want to do as an adult.
The article point out that it is useful to look back at your life from teenager onwards and consider what you enjoy doing. Evidence exposed in the text suggests the majority of workers shy away from such soul-searching, and decides instead that no dream in particular will do.
But in your job there are three steps you can take: first, figure out what is important and what would make you happy; second, decide if your dream job is really for you, because it might not be, then find out what the role actually involves. Later if you're sure, make the change.

My favourite food are vegetables specially boiled vegetables in casserole or ommelette, or in a pie.
My favourite dish is wich my mother cooks and it is a very tasted dish that I call “vomit”(lol lol!!!). It have italian pumpkin, carrots, green beans, sweet corn and mushrooms, all cooked in a pan with cream… mmm its a delicious I can eat one ton. My mother servs it with browned potatoes.
Another dish that I adore its a omelete of lettuce, carrots, chard or tuna. I´m not a vegetarian , but I prefere this food. In my family are very meat-eating and I I like a good piece of meat, but I adore the vegetables.
A special dish that I enjoy cook and eat is the potatoes lasagne, which have caps of potatoes instead of flour caps alternated with eggplants caps with cream and tomato sauce. I like the traditional lagsane, but this.. it`s a pleasure of gods.
Another exquisiteness is another dish that I cook and I called filled potatoes. This consist of a potatoes cooks with its skin in the oven with a cap of salt in the base.Then the potatoes are hollowed out and filled with all that you want; I filled with jam, cheese, tomato, onion or with turkey in pieces cheese and green chili; then in the oven the cheese and oregano melt and they become in a marvellous mixing.Its preparation is very time consuming , but it worst it and every time that I have cooked I have never regrets.
I recommend to serve with red wine and enjoy your favourite dishes with your favourite people. THE DINNER IS SERVICE XD. Enjoy it.

Santiago in five places
Hello!!
In this oportunity I going to talk about interested places should visit in Santiago and activities that can’t help do.
The firs place that it will recommend is the Ñuñoa square, because is a very good place toe at somethin, drink somethin in a relaxed atmosphere. You can walk for its street with complete calm and to travel until you can find the ideal site for your taste and your pocket I recomend you the “Fuente Suiza”, where for little money you can to savour a exquisite “empanada” of cheese ( with a lot of cheese).
The second place is the “Quinta Normal” that is a very familiar place where you can walk in middle of the vegetation and a relaxed atmosphere, which is very rare to Santiago. There is a Little lake where you can go by boat with your family.
The “Parque forestal” is a good place to enjoy spend time outside. Always you can find a cultural activity.
The neighborhood Bellavista is a collection of pubs, disco and cultural places like the house of Pablo Neruda, a famous chilean poet.
At last, but not at least,the next place that I suggest you is “La piojera” a very folk and chilean place where do you drink a most tasted swig like “jote”, “terremoto”, “replica” and spend a lot of time in a pleasant and humble atmosphere. Always you will find some interesting carácter of national scene.
I hope that this places be of your pleasure.
