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…)

childhood dreams jobs

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.

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.
