Post 5: Changes to my study program

Imagen
  Well, I think that one of the biggest problems I find with the study program is the CFG and the artistic/sports courses, these are mandatory in the first two years of the degree, but obtaining a place is almost impossible, not only because they are very scarce, but also priority is given to higher courses. Another thing that is also a bit annoying is that the university does not teach classes in the evening hours, so if you want to have a job while you are studying, you must choose night shifts or part-time weekends and holidays, unless you sell your products or services during school hours. So far, I have no complaints related to the teaching methods except for one: "flipped classes" of the course "Methods of Social Research" It was a nightmare and a killing. As for the workload, it's very, very much, but I guess it's the expected level for a college student, maybe that's why you can get coffee anywhere on campus. I don't find infrastructure probl

Post 4 : Time travel to the past

If I had the opportunity to travel in time, I would choose to travel to the past, for the simple fact of knowing what happen in the period to which I will travel. Taking into account the limitations that we are in Chile and that by the rules of science fiction, you should not travel to a time when you already exist, I would like to travel to October 23, 1993. On this date, it was the only concert that Michael Jackson performed in the country. I would stay one day just to go to the concert and to see the movie Jurassic Park (which premiered the same year) At the cinema. I wouldn’t stay further than one day in the past, not I would feel convenient in a period that it's not mine, and it's not like I had clothes from that time. Besides, I know that discrimination before 2000 was a serious issue, so thanks but no, thanks. Traveling to the future sounds fun in the sense that I could read the endings of my favorite stories and see films that still haven’t been released. But there are

My future

What do I think about my future job?… That is a difficult question for someone pessimistic, my expectations of the future don't go that far. I guess I should work on something related to my career, it's the option with more sense. I did not choose a psychology degree because of its field of work, I did it because I was curious. I didn’t understand how people think or act normally, so I decided to study something that would give me answers. Working as a military psychologist would give me the advantage of retiring at 50 instead of 65. Working in experimental psychology and neuroscience sounds like something fun. Since I was a kid I had an interest in lab coats. Being a psychiatrist also sounds like a good option since there are very few in Chile. I honestly think that as long as a job gives you money and doesn't over-exploit you, it's perfect. So it is not essential to me whether or not business trips, whether it's outdoors, in the office, or the laboratory (although

Post 2 : My best holiday

Imagen
For as long as I can remember, my family has been camping on holidays every two summers.  Not all trips have been satisfactory to remember, especially the last ones. But there is one that I remember fondly, even if I don't remember when it was. I remember I was still a kid, so I was probably 7 or 8 years old. We went to Lake Rapel, and we were at the camping sites. I was old enough to own and set up my own personal tent. It was just my mom, her partner, my older brother and me. We stay for a week. I've always been an introvert, but on that holiday I met a boy my age, and we became friends during our stay. A playmate. We had breakfast together, we played cards and other board games, we spent the afternoon swimming and playing in the lake and, at night, we told horror stories while eating marshmallows. Thanks to the boy whose name I don't remember and never saw again, it was a fun summer.

Post 1 : the country i'd like to visit is Norway

Imagen
  If I ever had the chance to go to another country, it would be Norway. This country is not only beautiful to look at, but it is also full of a culture that I find interesting. I don't know too much about Norway, but what I do know is that Viking origins and traditions come from there. And I, as a pagan person, would absolutely love to know more about the history of my religion. If I have the chance to go there, I would like to go to the change of season festivals, visit the Norsk Folkemuseum (which main attraction is Gol Stave Church), watch the northern lights and take a sleigh ride. Norway is such an awesome place, but if you ask me if I want to stay there, the answer is no. Other countries are great, but Chile has no comparing, it is my homeland and where I belong.  That's all I can think of for my first post, I hope it's enough.
