English´s classes structure

I think learning english in the university is very important, this because the careers are associated with english, for example a lot of thecnical information in my career is in english, but i think it´s not very entertaining, maybe english´s class have to use another structure, like theorical classes, exercise classes between others.

About the use of blogs, this allows us to express with our own words our ideas about a topic choosen by us, but i think this system is repetitive and sometimes is very boring, i think the system is ok, but not in all the weeks, maybe three or four times in the semester. Also the english classes should change between other structures week per week.

My english is very basic, this is because i forgot some of the gramatical and phonetical forms of english, maybe a remember of those forms should be fine to improve english, also english needs use cientific forms for the diferent careers in the faculty. My plan should be the use of plataforms of english, like duolingo, or to learn by my own grammar and phonetics. Learning english nowadays is very easy, because there are a lot of plataforms and systems to learn the language, and not only english.

Outside the english classes i use a little bit english to comunication on games with english speakers, or maybe in songs when i sing songs in english. Maybe i have to improve that, try to learn to speak english in a better form being more fluid and faster.

That is all, thanks for reading my opinion about the actual system of english´s classes.

Summertime

While we are in classes, we are constantly thinking in summer, what are we gonna do or simply where we gonna go. 

My plans to summer will be go to the beach or maybe to a rural zone to camping. With my friends we usually, in summers, go to camping in mountains or fields. For this summer securely we are gonna do the same. 

My favorites places for camping are Aculeo, Valdivia, Yerba Loca, Vallecito, Cajon del Maipo. This are places that i would like to visit for camping. There are more places that i would like to visit, but i can´t because that places are so expensive.

Then in Santiago maybe i am going to work for a month, and then back to the university.

Maybe i will visit the beach in Viña Del Mar, Algarrobo or El quisco. Those are places that i frequently visit in summers.

About the other places that i would like to visit, those are Torres del Paine, Concepcion, Termas de Chillan and San Pedro de Atacama, but as i said, that places are too expensive to me. This places are great to visit because are so beautiful and had a lot of tourist attractions and very beautiful landscapes. 

The most important think to travel around Chile or to travel everywhere is do that with friends or family, there is nothing better than a nice companion. That is all for today, thanks for reading

What about drugs?

Hi everyone, today I’m going to speak a little bit about drugs of abuse that I have tested in my short life and a drug that is familiarized with me.

One of the drugs that is familiarized with me, my environment, my friends, etc... Is marijuana, it is a very common drug, sometimes I consume this drug with friends in parties or meetings, but never alone. I know about his effects like memory loss, deconcentration, relaxation, etc. so I think that I use this drug “consciously”. Sometimes I consume alcohol and when I was younger than now (like 14 or 15 years old) i smoke cigarettes but I decided to leave it because I don’t like it at all.

The benefit of this drug is scientifically proven, and in fact is actually used as a medicament or specifically an analgesic. This drug can cause addiction to prolonged use of the drug

Addiction is defined as a chronic and recurrent disease of the brain that is characterized by the search and compulsive consumption of drugs, despite its harmful consequences. I don`t know nobody addicted to drugs, just people that use drugs recreationally.

It is considered a disease of the brain because drugs modify this organ: its structure and functioning are affected. These changes in the brain can be long-lasting, and can lead to dangerous behaviors that are seen in people who abuse drug use.

My career is closely related to drugs, because explain how drugs works on the organism, its effects and mechanism of action.

Knowledge

I want to keep studying in my life, i think humans have to take all the knowledge that they can in his lives, for this reason i want to do a doctorate, a magister and maybe take another career in relation with chemistry.

A doctorate is a program of each university to specialize graduated students, it has a duration of 3 years or 6 semesters and has certain requirements like certificate of title, grades, etc.

A magister is a program of each university, the objective of this program is to in-depth knowledge of certain subjects, in my case i want to do a magister of pharmaceutical sciences.

I want to be an specialist of clinic pharmacy, it is my favorite area of my career, the doctorate that involves this area is the doctorate in pharmacology and this program have subjects like advanced molecular pharmacology, experimentation in pharmacology,clinic pharmacology, etc.

I would like to do this post graduate at Barcelona, in the University of Barcelona, or maybe here in Chile in the University of Chile.

I think face to face studies are a great form of learning because it allows a feedback between student and professor but i think e-learning is a nice mode too, this is because it allows to take classes in every part of the world with a internet connection.

Hobbies :D

Hi everyone, it´s time to speak about hobbies. Hobbies are really important to distraction and for funny, my favourite hobby is computer games, i think it is important to me because i forgot about tests, problems, etc.. I play any kind of games like shooters, rpg, mmorpg, moba, action, adventure and the only kind of games i don´t like is car games. I play in computer since i had 7 years old, When i was 7 i liked to play football with friends and with trading card games like yu-gi-oh, pokemon, "mitos y leyendas" and magic. Sometimes i collect bottles of beer, like imported beers or rare beers since a pair of years. Actually i play guitar for hobby and it´s very great to me, i usually play guitar with my friends.

I think i would never had some hobbies like dance or sing, because i am terrible for that, and i would to have some hobbies like play guitar better than now (more dedicated to) or to be a better goalkeeper.




I think hobbies are important because allows you to stay occupied in something of your interest. Allows you to "lose" time in something that you like and you enjoy to do.

The center of our emotions and desicions

When we speak about emotions, we speak about an especial system on our brains, we speak about limbic system.
The limbic system is formed by lots of brain structures, like hypothalamus, cerebral tonsil
and cerebral hippocampus. This system is in charge of decisions (good decisions), emotions,
autonomic responses, memory, sexual instincts, etc.

It´s on the brain and its size is just like two almonds, a very little size in spite of his function.

His function is very important, for example, when we are angry with someone, we want to smash that person, to hit him forever, but is this system who regulate our emotions, sometimes is linked to the ethical and moral of each person, it´s like our angel on the shoulder, saying us what we must do for a good resolution of problems. This system says us what is good to do, or what it´s not good, for this reason the limbic system is involved with some mental illness like dementia, depression, Alzheimer, anxiety, autism, schizophrenia, etc. When this system is in an abnormal state, we don´t control our decisions and emotions, sometimes this is the born of a psycho.

It is possible to prevent this mental problems, with some habits like a healthy nutrition, eating some foods with vitamin b, omega 3 and some nuts, Also the exercise is a nice habit for avoid this problems.

Concert - Pearl Jam

Hi everybody, in this blog i'm going to talk about my favourite concert, this concert happens in november, 2015, On the "Estadio Nacional".

I´m gonna speak about the band in first place, Pearl jam is a rock alternative-Grunge Band formed in Seattle, Washington, this band is active since 1990 until now.

This band is one of my favorites, i grow up listening this kind of music, for that reason i went to the concert in Lollapalooza in 2013, and the concert of 2015.

That day i went with 2 friends, but unfortunately they have a ticket to other zone of the stadium, so i finally went alone. The entire concert was mystic with all the classics songs of the band, a nice play of lights, nice sound and a nice moment for every fan of the band.

To me the three-hour concert was awesome, full of emotions and sensations. Then i tried to found my friends for another hour, until i finally found them.

After the concert i went to my sister´s house and stay there because the next day i had to go to the university.

Well, that´s my story, i hope you like and enjoy it. Good bye and Thanks for read.

"Estadio Nacional"

Countries i would like to visit

Hello everyone, the topic today is a country I would like to visit, this topic is a little bit complicated to me because I want to know too many countries, but on my mind are two countries specifically.

Barceloneta, Beach of Barcelona

The first one is Spain, a country very interesting to me, but i want to visit specifically the city of Barcelona, because my sister lives there and she says that Barcelona is a great city to visit for its touristic places like The “Casa Mila”, The “Parque Guell” or The “Sagrada Familia” which are very emblematic places of Barcelona, Also this city have some Beaches like the Barceloneta or Somorrostro.

Sagrada Familia

Also I want to live in Barcelona because is a better city than Santiago and maybe do a master in Pharmacy in the “Universitat de Barcelona”.

Mt. Fuji and Tokyo

Another Country that I want to visit is Japan, is a most interesting place than Spain basically for its culture. This place have all that I want and need, but its language is a problem to me, So i don´t want to live there. This place have funny places like its commercial centres, sanctuaries, attractions, etc. Its very known places are Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Skytree, and the Universal studios of Japan.

Well, that´s all, I am expecting by your comments, Greetings, Thank you for read :D

Travels

Hi, It´s the turn for travels, i´m gonna speak about a travel to "El quisco" the last summer.

Every summers, my friend´s circle and me "planned" a travel to some beach of Chile, in this time it was the turn of "El Quisco", this travels are amazing because we improvise everything, the word plan is just a lie. We are a group of 7 guys, so just imagine the chaos. One of my friends has a place to stay in el quisco, the house of his grandparents, so finally we went to that place. We bought the bus´ tickets and we start the adventure on a monday, after of two hours of travel, we finally arrived on el quisco. The first day is just for rest and organize, we bought supplies for all the days on the beach and we order everything. We go to the beach all the days, and in the nights we had little parties. On the sixth day, and last day, it´s all chaos. We return to Santiago on seventh day.

In this travels is where i learn a little bit of independence and where i know the true friendship. The travels with friends are amazing.

Fav Subject!

Hi everyone, in this blog i´m gonna speak about my favorite subject, this is Laboratory or Laboratory Skills, in this subject we can do things related with practice area and learn some new things in the tgeorical area of this subject, this things are distillation, purification, separation, etc. This is very enjoyable because we can learn on "field" and make mistakes in order to be a better scientist.

In this subject are too many professors, and we don´t have always the same, some professors are good people but others are so rude and unpleasant. I like this subject because is practical and the schedule is nice, this subject is on wednesday in the morning, until 13:00 hours.

Maybe if i could change something of this subject, it would be the evaluation system, because there are controls in a paper, and just are one practical control. Other thing is that we don´t have breaks, and the class is from 8:30 until 13:00 hours, And the last thing is that the subject have a theorical area or a normal class, maybe this class would be in the laboratory and not in a classroom.

Here are some photos about laboraties:

Distillation

Purification

Titration

That glorious page

Hi, now, i´m gonna show the god-page for study, Unicoos

Unicoos is a web of a spanish teacher who makes videos for everything, he has all the topics of science's study, he teachs chemistry, physics, Math, Tech, Draw, etc... The page is organized in grades, topics, and subjects. Besides, the site has a youtube channel and there are all the videos of contents, exercises, explanations,etc..

 Here is the site: http://www.unicoos.com/

Personally, i visit unicoos when i have to study for tests, controls, etc. or sometimes when i don´t understand something related to science subjects.
I like this page because it is very complete, I can understand something in 20 minutes, The teacher is a good teacher, and teachs very simple. It is free too and the web page has forums for questions to the teacher.

The website is so orderly, the main page have videos, names of teachers, social networks where we can find unicoos. Also has a badge system, this means that the users can win badges for be a member for a long time, or see videos for a long time, this is like: "a badge for be a member for 1 year" or "a badge for see 1 hour of videos".

My favorite Animation

Hello, I'm gonna share my favorite anime:


This anime is Hajimme no Ippo or Fighting Spirit, this anime tells the story of a boy named Ippo Makunoichi, This is a shy boy, and he never had the time to make friends because he was busy helping his mother run their family fishing charter business. One day, after the school, ippo was smashed by a group of bullies, just because he supposedly smells like worms (bait for fishs). In that moment, Mamoru Takamura, a famous boxer, defend him and took him to the kamogawa gym to treat his wounds. Mamoru Takamura, tried to cheer Ippo up by letting him vent his frustation on a sandbag. Ippo decided to become a Boxer.

I watched this anime since my childhood, then i watched all the seasons of the anime. I love this anime and i'm waiting for the continuation of the seasons because the creators let an opened final. 

Photography

Hello everyone, i'm gonna show my favorite photo, this photo is just a cover of an album of radiohead, this album is hail to the thief, is very interesting, i don't know what is the meaning of the photo, but the fans of radiohead thinks is about politics.

This album cover was created for Stanley Downwood, this cover art was named as "Pacific Coast" is a road map of Hollywood with words and phrases taken from Los Angeles's roadside advertising, such as "God", "TV" and "oil", in place of buildings.

This is some of the words from the creator to explain this cover album: Donwood said: "Advertising is designed to be seductive and attractive and, in a lot of ways, it's very beautiful. But there's something unsettling about being continually sold something. I liked taking the elements of roadside advertising out of context because it removes the imperative and just goes to the essence of it – the pure heart of advertising."

This photo to me is very important, because this was the first album of radiohead that i heard, and just because i liked the cover. Now i like too much the band and his music.

What about Music?

Hi everyone, today is the turn of music.
The music is very important in my life, i listen and play music in my cotidian life because it's useful for distract myself in moments that i need it.
I am very especific for music, and i don't tolerate some music styles like reggeton or bachata and sometimes this is very bad because i should tolerate all the music styles. I listen rock, Alternative and grunge to be more especific, bands like nirvana, alice in chains, soundgarden, foo fighters, pearl jam, arctic monkeys, radiohead, and others. I like psychedelic and hard rock too, these are bands like pink floyd, the doors and led zeppelin. I prefer listen music but i like play music too. I think the biggest band in the world is Pink floyd, because they are the beggining of all, the starting point of the rock.

It's like a Brain

Hi, today i´m gonna speak about my favorite piece of technology, the computer. To begin i want to speak about this machine, the computer is a piece of technology for everything, we can search "why the sky is blue" and in the same time we can listen music, or writing this. we have many uses for a computer, but is a distraction too.
I had my first computer when i was 7 years old, and it was so big, it was like a wash machine (really big) but in that time it was fine for me, because i was not using it for many things, Just for play and search irrelevant things.
Nowadays i use my computer for works of university, learn new things, see educational videos, play some video games, see movies, download new music, etc... I use everydays and that scary me because i don't want to be dependent of a machine.
I like computer because it is useful for me, and sometimes it´s funny for me, for recreational activities or just for have fun. My life would be different without this machine, because, like i already said, it is very useful for me

Why did i choose this career?

Hello everyone, The topic of today is about why did i choose this career.

Well, when i was a child i wanted to be a veterinarian until the high school, then i want to study Biology, Chemistry or forest engineering, but all of that change in 3rd grade when i visited this department with my grade of the high school. It was a guide visit to know about the four careers, and finally i liked chemistry and pharmaceutics and no other career was a real option. In the postulation i put only chemistry and pharmacy in the University of Chile.

The experience in this department has been great, it´s very funny and has everything for the university life. The people is very interesting too

In the end of my career i want to work on veterinarian toxicology, like drugs for animals, synthesis of drugs, or natural pharmacy but i'm sure this will be change in the future because are too many options to choose.

Here are some pictures of my "future"
