2013

Hello, today I’m going to talk about the good and bad points of the year 2013.

First of all I want to say that this year happened very quickly, I still feel that I’m in the middle of the year but not in the end. In general I think that the 2013 was a good year, with more good points than bad points. The best moment for me were the beginning of the year, the vacations jajaja, because I traveled to Argentina with my boyfriend, and that was so funny and enjoyable, I really want to know Buenos Aires, and I liked it. In this journey even I learned to dance tango jaja, that’s were my dream.

Then, the first semester in the university don’t was so funny, what’s more, that was boring and disappointing. But not every was bad in the university, I can to know new good persons, and with them I had many good times, even a short holiday in the beach. I felt comfortable with them. The second semester in the university was better than the first, because I could choose the subjects that I liked. For that was more funny and interesting.

The other important thing of this year was that I celebrated the second year with my boyfriend; I consider that is a long time. To celebrate we made a little travel, we went for few days to a country house in the south, the place was so beautiful and we had a very good and relaxing time. Also, a little while ago we went to the beach for the weekend. Now I sense that I have traveled a lot in this year, that’s make me happy.

Now the year is finishing and I think that in general I had a good time. 

My best friend

Today I´m going to talk about my best friend, or rather my best friends, because I don´t have only one best friend, but I have many good friends.

I consider that a good friend is someone that you can trust, and you can feel accompanied by him or her. But also I think that is important have a good time with your friends, and be fun with them.

Regarding my, I don`t consider myself a friendly person jajaja, but even so I can make friends. I think that make friends its not difficult for me, but I like to choose good persons to do friends.

I have very good friends; I have friend of the school, I know them many years ago, since I was 5 years old, until now, that I´m 21 year old. I`m friend of them since many years. Also I have good friends in the university. In these years I have known very good persons, and also I have done very good friends.

I remember many  good moments and situations  with my friend. In especially I remember when I went to camping with a group of friends, to the south of Chile, specifically to Chiloé, that was a good and unforgettable moment. We had a very good time, I miss those moments. I hope to do a journey with them again. And also I hope to be friend of them for ever.

That it`s can I say about my best friends. 

Green

Hello, today I’m going to talk about how green I am.  First of all I want to say that I love the nature, but I’m not a really Eco-HeroL.

I think that the people learn about environmentally friendly practices when they learn the importance to take care of the environment, and know the consequence of them.  

Unfortunately, I don’t have incorporated the recycling into my habits. I would like to do it, but I don´t have the time for do that, or I don´t give to me the time. But I have done some things to recycle, for example, in the past I have a compost in my house, where I recycled the waste of fruits, vegetables, and rests of the food in general.  But now I don´t have it.

I would like to use a bike to transport me, but I live very far to the center of the city and the places that I need to visit, also because I don´t have a bike. For that I have to use de public transport. The other thing that I do for reduce the carbon footprint is use economic bulbs in the all lights of my house, and recycle the bottles and objects of glass; also I do little things like unplug the electronic equipment when I don’t use it, or I treat to don´t exceed in my water consumption.  

Actually I don’t be a member of not one eco-organization.

For this reasons I think that I a Green-in-between, but I hope be an Eco-Hero jajaja.  

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

It`s difficult for me choose only one country to visit, because I love travel, I want to travel for many countries, even I would travel around the world jajaja. But, if I have to select one country, I would like to visit India.

I choose India because this arouse to me curiosity, especially they culture. Their culture is very different for our culture, for example, their religion, architecture, foods, and their ways of life.

I saw photos of this country and I really like the scenery.  I was impress for the architecture of their temples, that´s are beautiful, it`s amazing for me see the pictures. For example, the most renowned temple, the Taj Mahal, I would to be there. Also I would to go to the typical stores, where the Indians sell their traditional products, like cloth, condiments or food. The other thing that I would to do is go to some traditional ceremony, and can know better their culture.

I would like to go there for know this place and their culture, for that I would stay there for three or four weeks, no more, because I think that this country is very different to Chile, and I imagine that is difficult can adapt in their costumes. I wouldn´t study, work or live there, I imagine that is difficult.

Well, I hope travel to India and many other countries. 

Animals and pets

Hi. Today I´m going to write about animals and pets. I like this topic, because I love animals. When I was a Little girl I wanted to be a veterinarian. I have always liked animals, Im consider myself an animal lover. I remember that I took care the street-living dogs of my neighborhood. For that I always had a pet, I had many dogs, birds, and a rabbit. Now I have two dogs, and I love it, the dogs are the

best pet, because they are very loyal, and I can to play with them.

About the use of animals for medical research, I don´t agree. They suffer for human knowledge, that is not right, the humans should experiment with themselves. For that neither I´m agree with the zoo, the wild animals should be free in their natural environments. And I think that buy and wear fur coats it´s needles, exist other products without animal suffering.

Luckily I never been bitten by a dog, I imagine that is painful. Only  I have been bitten by a dog but playing (that´s also hurts). I think that are some animals dangerous, like some dogs, but I don´t think that the solution is muzzle the dog, it´s theach and don´t leave dogs in the street.

If I could be an animal I would a monkey, I would like to live free in the jungle.

“Mental health: Is Chile a depressed country?”

I going to tell you a summary of a scientific article call “Mental health: Is Chile a depressed country?”

Chile is one of the most depressed countries, according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). That study was realized in this year, and used the “Better Life Index”.

The most preoccupant result was that one in the three Chileans wills suffers a psychiatric upset in their life, upsets like depression, anxiety, alcohol or substance abuse.

The depression is one of the most catastrophic mental illnesses because this illness affects the normal functioning, for example the social area. The ability of enjoy is limited. For that, the peoples with depression that ask for help is a minority, and that’s dangerous. Also, other problem of this illness is that it does the people lost many year of life for reasons of health, and spends much money in medication, doctors, hospital stays.

But, the article said that not everything is bad in Chile, because the last National Mental Health Program revision of 2000 has been beneficial in the majority of population. But the mental illnesses continue to be the challenge of health.

A solution that suggests the article is the early intervention, because the majority of psychological problems begin in adolescence, that’s a critical period. This supposedly will control the situation. But also is necessary include familiar factors, adverse life events and psychological factors, and, the most important, ask for is something particularly hard about living in Chile today. That does can be for the inequality or the large working day.

My favourite movie

Hello teacher and classmates! Today Im going to talk about my favorite movie. First of all, I want to say that I prefer see movies in my house than in the cinema, because is more cheaper, and I can to see the movie when I want.  

Well, It´s difficult for me choose only one movie, I like many of them. But I have to say that I prefer see documentarys.

My favourite movie is a documentary maked by Patrio Guzman called “Nostalgia de la luz” this means nostalgia of the light and tell about the relation between the search of “Detenidos Desaparecidos” realized by familiars of them in the Chilean desert and the present of this desertic space . That shows up the relation established on the difference about how to deal with the past, where private persons take the responsibility of this humanitarian search meanwhile the State of Chile seems worried about another searchs like the placement and development of astronomic centers on this same desert.

Well, I hope that you see the documentary, It´s sad but also beautiful. I recommend it. 

My ideal job

Hi classmates and teacher. Well, really I don’t know which my ideal job is. I don’t know if that exists, for that I want to study eternally in the university. No, really I hope that this work exists.  

Well, is difficult for me think about my work future, because I still don’t know what area for psychology I want to take. I'm in my third year of psychology career, and for now I like community psychology and educational psychology.  So that’s why I'm considering to work in these areas.

 I have in mind find a work in an organization where I can to take part and participate directly with the people of the territory, working in community interventions.  And try to survive with this job, because I don’t think that the salary been well. I hope find a way of realize a work like that.

I'm not sure for that, but I have decided don’t work in an office. I'm thinking that it’s so boring. That’s all can I say for now, because I still be confuse. 

First term

Today I’m going to talk about the first period of my third year in this career. I feel that the time happened very fast, that´s scares me.

Well, I think that I learned a lot but only in some classes. Many subjects disappointed me, which was so sad for me, for example community psychology classes, I was looking for this theme but the class was boring. That was a problem because I disappointed also of the career.

But in other subjects I feel that I learned a lot, like judicial psychology. The teachers were good, they knew how teach.

This period was very short, because they faculty was in strike for two months approximately, for that we had not much classes, and the majority of the evaluations were at the end of  the semester, that was horrible, every test and works together.

Apart of the university, I had a good time with fun and lovely people.
