English in the university

Learn English in the university has been all a challenge for me, because in the school my teacher was very bad and we never learned nothing more that the use of “I do/ I don’t”, literally he teached the same every years. So I was so afraid to go to the English class in here, above all because with the test I stayed in the 3ed level, and honestly I never hoped that.

The experience has been good, because I been learn so much things that I had no idea and that I was do it wrong, but also has been a little stressful because are things that are so hard for me to remember, like the use of “it” or “have”. I hope that with the practice I could correct those things.

The blogs are a good tool for the learning, but sometimes are a little exhausting and some topics has been difficult to write about, but well, I guess it’s part of the class be challenged. Also, is so much better this way to evaluate than a test or an interrogation, allow you recive more feedback and practice more the English.

Honestly I like this language a lot, and I see every movie or serie in English and I always understand almost without the subtitles, only when are words that I don’t know I look at it, but in respect to "the talk", I don’t do it a lot, and I believe that’s my problem and my mistake, I should do it more and I think that I would be a good English talker, no perfect, but good.

The changes for the ICEI

The University of Chile is supposed is the best in the country, so when I started to study in here I had has many expectation, sadly I found with many things that I don’t like, and isn’t the place that I tought that it would be.

If I could make any change to the programme of journalism, I would say that it is very important to establish a paramaters in the classes with diferrent teachers, because happen a lot that with my Friends are in differents section and altough are the same course, we don’t learn the same things, so later, when we are in the next course, we all have differents knowledge and is very difficult match with the classmates.

About the old curriculum of journalism, wich is that I have, I think that is very poor in terms of learn about history or economy, fortunately for the next generations are a new curriculum wich included those topics in there classes, sadly for us that we have to stay with that empty.

On the other hand, the infrastructure of the Institute of comunication and image are so deplorable, maybe the classroom are acceptable, but the building is a joke, it’s imposible to think that it have the capacity for all the people who are enrolled in here. I believe that is urgent that the university give more money to our institute, because now they are distribuited the income in a ver uneven way. You also can see this in the resources that we have, the books or the cameras arent sufficient for all the students, that make that we spend a lot of extra money in those kind of things.

This are the things that I would like to change if I had the possibilty, I hope that one day it comes true.

The next holidays

This summer, like every year, I’m going to go camping with my scout group for two weeks. It’s not decided yet, but the most sure is that we go to a place near to Lago Ranco in the fourteenth region. I’m very excited because I’m in charge, with others friends, of a group of thirty girls between 11 and 15 years old, and we have so much ideas about the activities and games that we going to do them.

When the camping is over, I’m going to travel to the Austral road. The plan is going from Lago Ranco to Valdivia, and stay there a few days and then go to Puerto Montt and start to travel until arrive to Puerto Río Tranquilo, where are the Capillas de Mármol. From there I want to return till Puerto Cisne and take a barge to Chiloé and stay there for a time.

In the Austral Road I going to still camping, and I going to do so many trekkings and take pictures of everything. I want to go to Termas of Puyuhuapi, know the Pumalin Park, go to Futaleufú and do some extreme sports; but the thing that I really really want is go to know the Capillas de Marmol, I’ve seen a lot pictures of there and seems like a very impactant place.

This last part  of my future holidays don’t have a specific duration, I only want to go and travel for all that beautifull places and stay there as long as the money allow me.

My strangest dream

I usually don’t remember my dreams, in fact often happen to me that I’m in a very cool dream but I wake up and don’t remember what was about.

But, in this blog I’m going to talk about the last freak dream that I had.

Well, In the dream, I was pregnant, but I didn’t knew and I found when I had like eight months! So I didn’t was prepared to have the baby, and in the moment to give birth I was hysterical. I remember that I was in a hospital room so ugly, and inside only was one bed and nothing else, and I thought that all was going to go wrong.

In the dream I felt very bad, because I felt so much pain and I couldn’t delivery the baby, so I thought that the baby was going to die. And in the dream I was with my two sisters and no doctor or nurses, so only they help me and chill me out. I was desperately, I was crying and yelling that I don’t want the baby, but obviously I didn’t want that he dies, so I was caressing my belly while I crying. I remember that the dream was felt so real, and in that moment when I realize that only was a dream, I start to wake up little by little.

Was a very ugly dream, but also so freak because I felt it so real that when I woke up I looked my stomach to confirm to myself that I wasn’t pregnant, and I really enjoyed when I realize that it was not.

Postgraduate

I really haven’t thought about a what kind of postgraduate study I would like to do, but I think that maybe could be something related to studies about the kids and their behavior, especially in learn how they minds work, I would like to know much as possible about this topic because I think that I could help so much better to the children who has mental issues.

In this aspect, I think that I would had to study more about the biology of the human be, how the brain operate and everything that affect in the mind, like hormones and enzymes. Besides that of course that I would like to study different diseases that you can find commonly in the children like Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or hyperactivity.

I would like to study this in the United States, because they have a lot of excellent universities where the psychology are so much valued, but I have to recognize that I’m afraid to go to a country where the people not speak Spanish, so if I had to choose other place I would say Spain because they also have very good universities.

If I do this kind of studies sometime, I would do to full time, because I think that, if you have the opportunity to do this, is very important dedicate all your effort in it, study very hard and gain the most knowledge as possible

If all goes well

This can be a little strange because I study journalism, but the truth is that I want to be psychologist, so the job that I would like to have is in that area.

I would like to work like a psychologist in an institution like Sename, or in a school, maybe in a Hospital, but always in a very social place where I could help the people who must need it. Of course I don’t say that I would never work in a private consult, but the other type is my first choice, at least to start with.

I would like go to work in a rural area, on one side, because I would like to live in there, in some place not so noisy and stressfull; but also because that kind of place have least resources and the people in there have more difficulties to access to that type of services.

I not even studying that career yet –but I hope do it soon if all goes well- so I don’t have any idea about if I would do a major or in which area I’ll do it, only know that my heart are in the children and their mental health, maybe in the future I found a master program of this type.

Well, I think that I have my preferences like everyone, but I really think that any job in this discipline would make me very happy, only for the fact of helping people with their issues and their mental health, so I hope that one day I can do it–no so far away-.

Interstellar

My favorite film ending is the end of Interestellar, this is also my favorite movie of the last years. I love it because it has you so expectant during a lot of time and you think that anything can happened, so is impossible stop to pay attention. Even if it’s about an incredible situation, makes you believe that all could be real in the future. This end joust blowr your mind.

Interestellar is a movie of Christopher Nolan, who is a british very recognized movie director, and has been nominated to an Oscar in three times. This movie was premiered in 2014 and is a story about the end of the  earth and how NASA try to create a new civilization in other planet sending a crew there. Well, is so much complex than this, but in a basic way this is the plot.

The ending lasts at the very least like 30 minutes (it’s a very long movie) and it’s about how the protagonist are float lost in the galaxy and he get into the “fifth dimension” and start to communicate with her daughter in the earth throught to a clock, so when the people who are there manage to understand what he want to say, the astronaut become unconscious alone in the space. In that moment you stay like “well, that it’s all, he dies and his daughter get the solucion”, but no! he wake up in a spaceship on the way to a this new planet with so much people, including his daughter who has like 90 years old and it’s about to die, so he’s going to see her for last time and then he takes a little rocket and go to the space, again.

How you can see, is a very extraordinary ending, and when I wrote about it sounded so crazy, but I swear that when you see the movie, all the things are so good related and explained that you think that everything what happened in there could happen in sometime. It’s like all make sense, the reason why the earth start to die, why the people of NASA lies to the protagonist, the way that he found the answer, but what is more incredible is the part of the “fifth dimension”, because seems like something so made up, but in the movie has completely sense.

This film have a lot of reason that make it my favorite, specially the way that the co-star define the love. Also, the end is a very particular part of the movie, because it creates all a new theory about the universe and is so crazy that when I saw it for the first time I had no words and the only thing that I could do was open more and more my eyes. I literaly was like if all in the movie was real, I think that this movie maked me thinking about a lot of stuffs after that I saw it.
