CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi guys :) Well, for this last blog I have to talk about some changes that I would make to my study program. Although so far I have only been in the fourth semester, I think I would like my program to have more subjects with fieldwork. I like the visits in the field, for example, for this semester in "development psychology" we had to go to observe children of the higher average level in a garden that is in the central station. It was very fun, we played painting, dancing and counting tree leaves on the ground. I would like to have more jobs in the field. On the other hand, I think the infrastructure is fine, just enlarge the rooms a little more. But everything else seems very cozy and homely. I would not like to attend another faculty, I really like this one. What we could add, maybe it's more technology, a little more computers, fixing the air conditioning in the room (since in the summer it's hot is horrible haha), improving the eduroam a bit that sometimes f...

Personal Opinion

Hi all! Today I will give my opinion about 4 questions 😊 1.- What is your opinion about women in the military? Well, I do not have an opinion only about women, but about all the people who enter the army. I have 4 close friends who have been inside for about 3 years, and sometimes they talk to me about horrible things, but they normalize, for example, one of them, when he turned 19, was beaten by his instructors, who then told him "The blows are gone, but the honor remains" it is awful!, since that day that everything is absurd and I think I would not like any family member to join the army. 2.- What is your opinion about animal testing? It is awful. I do not understand why, it is as if they treat animals as simple objects that can be used for human benefit. I do not understand why people continue to use products tested on animals after millions of horrible images have been shown on the internet and everywhere. 3.- What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition ca...

Postgraduate studies

Hi everyone! Today i will talk about my possible postgraduate study, I still do not decide completely, but it's the closest thing to the work I want in the future. I think I would take the magister of Community Psychology because this magister is about social problems like social equity, quality of life, inclusion, among others. And as I mentioned in previous posts, I want to work in jails or similar places, where the social reality is very different from the outside. I would like to study here, in Chile, but if I have the opportunity to go to another country I’ll do it. If I think about to going to another country to study, it gives me a little sadness, but I’ll go anyway if I have the opportunity. I would like to go to a country like Russia or Germany, although its language is very difficult. I would like to study in part time, so I have time to work, because I want to become independent. I hope to finish my studies soon so I can work on what I really love. I hope...

My future job! (video)

My future job

Hi everyone! The homework for today is to talk about my future job. Well, I really have not thought about it very well, but I think I would like to work in courts and jails with the prisoners or the victims, helping them to feel better about themselves. Mmm, I do not know exactly how much they would pay me, although I do not really care. I would like to earn enough money to travel to other places maybe other countries and so visit different prisons and important judged. I am thinking of specializing in judicial psychology, there is even a master degree on sexual crimes and the truth is that it interests me a lot. I have thought about working in jails for a long time, and I do not know if I imagine working in any other way. I do not know if I want to be another type of psychologist. I think maybe people would be afraid to work with prisoners but I think it's very interesting, maybe it's must be to the sector where I live, I live near enough people who were in jail ...

My favorite Subject at the university

Hi everyone! The homework for today is to talk about my favorite subject in the university. Mmm… I don’t know if I have a favorite subject, actually, the subjects at the university have been a bit difficult for me L , but I like neurophysiology, although I'm not doing so well. The teacher of this subject is very nice and cute, her name is Margarita Bórquez. I really love how she teaches because she makes many drawings on the board and shows many powerpoints so that we can really learn. I remember that before this last class I did not understand anything about neurophysiology. Then I asked her for a tutoring, she kindly invited me with my partner, Álvaro,  to the neurophysiology room. She took out a board and began to draw us the processes of the synapse. It was entertaining and great because I finally understood something that seemed very complicated in my mind. Now, in the classes, I like to imagine how my neurons communicate with each other and how their processes ar...
