the time the earth stood

Hello!
Today I going to talk about our public transport system: the hideous Transantiago, also called Trans-turtle (lol).
This famous system was not the better way to move when it beginnins. In first place every route took a lot of time, too much compared with the old system; besides you must take many buses to make the same route that before required one bus. To take a bus (the first of many) you must wait a very long time and wake up very early at the morning. Many people arrived very late to their jobs or place of study ( like me). At night when you must to go back to your home the thing was very similar.
Another problema was the used to a new paid system a BIP card; definitely we needed very much time to become accostumed to them.
Foregoing created an unpleasant atmosphere of tension. Every people were irritable and aggressive. In my opinión, the quality of life to go down so much. I don´t want to mention how was to the handicapped person, that must to be a hell.
All the city became in a complete caos. You could see people hanging to the repletes buses. It was a very ugly time. You must to decide if you want to resign yourself and wait for several hours or to shove one's way through; it´s was very stressful.
Now the things are calm down and the route getting better…For a minute I was afraid to great Rebellion lololol.

A beautiful land

Hello again!
In this occasion I´m going to talk about the country I would like to go: New Zealand. This country is very attractive to me, because I like its landscapes. Several movies have been filmed on that location and a tv series that I like so much is “Xena: a warrior princess”. I fell in love with its majesty.
I imagine myself on the middle of its isolated hills, walking on its lakes, breathing its pure air, contemplating its beautiful sky, on contact with the Mother Earth.
I know this country is an island in a southwestern of the Pacific Ocean, its climate is similar to the Chilean climate, they speak English and its population includes the native Maori.
This country always captivated me because its looks like a very peaceful place and I would live in a place like this, surrounded by nature and friendly people. I had a friend that lived there for about a year and she told that it is a country very safe and very quiet.
I would like to live there during a period of my life, maybe after my Psychology training in my own country, because I want to enjoy that country without to have to work a lot… For a moment I saw myself there… beautiful thoughts!!!!

my unforgetable first term

Hello again!!!
It´s time to make a recap…
The first term of this year in my career I studied about the different areas that there are in Psychology such as: forensic, organizational, communitarian, clinical and educational psychology; and the most relevant to me was to know about the forensic area and everything related with the diagnosing and treatment of victims of criminal acts, especially sexual crime victims. I always want to practice the clinical psychology, but now I think that the forensic psychology is the perfect complement to my professional interest. Besides, in clinical psychology I discovered that I want to work with children and adolescents.
In the personal, area I went to live with a crazy “friend” and it became a very bad experience… in short she isn´t my friend anymore. That event implied that I was a lot of time far from my mother and my younger sister; On one hand it was good, because I improved my stressed relationship with my mom, but I missed both of them so much.
Unfortunately the first term I had very few free time, and I couldn´t do sports or activities different to study my loved career. But this term I take a lot of sport in the University and Afro dance. I hope to be able to achieve it!!!
