ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

 Hi everyone! Today I´m going to talk about my English experience.  This year has been very intense and challenging because of the lockdown. On my daily routine, I have been using English while I’m watching movies and listening to music. I improve my English by watching tv, preferring American and British series, and it gets better everyday thanks to the university classes. Being able to use the blog to practice is fun and useful, it makes me write and learn with “day-to-day” words that I wouldn’t know any other way.  Still, my biggest challenge is speaking in English. I get very embarrassed when I have to talk because I’m not sure if my pronunciation is accurate, and its hard for me to find words that express what I want to say in the moment. To improve my speaking skills, I have planned to have a chat with my boyfriend, who talks a little bit more than me. That way I can practice with someone who won’t judge me. Overall, learning English has been very useful for me. Now...

Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about my study program and possible changes for it. I hadn't really questioned this in a while but considering the virtual education I can think in possible changes.  I like the program of Psychology very much, I love that it has a basic cycle (first five semesters), a cycle of specialization (the last three semesters) and the last cycle of finalization (two semesters). The first cycle has a different kind of areas for give us a general panoramic of the psychology and after that we can choose how we want to finish the career, how we want to specialize.  The last three semesters have been more excited for me, because the variety of optative courses allow me to learn in depth the area of psychology specified, and also, allow me to know about theoretical perspectives of the violence, inequality and social problems. This course gives us tools to face the reality and the practice of psychology with a critical perspective, and I love it. ...

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES.

Imagen
Hi everyone!  Today I´m going to talk about my postgraduate studies. Next year is my fifth year in the career and I pretend to do the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychoanalytic Clinic with Adults of this University.  I am interested in psychoanalysis clinic, and since the last year I have taken the curses associated with different theoretical moments , but we haven't review clinic strategies and this is very important, I could learn this in the diploma. Also, for me is very important to feel that I am prepared to work with people and to be a real support for them.  I have thought about continue my studies of psychoanalysis in another country like Germany or Italy, but I have to research about curses and places that I can learn, but places when I can live a culture experience too.  Sometimes I think in continue with de Magister that offers this university, I have a friend who studied it and she said that is a very good experience.  In this pandemic moment, is di...

Hi everyone!, today I will talk about my dream work for the future. For my is difficult to think of a specific dream job, but I can imagine important aspects to consider.  First, I am interested in different jobs. Could be outdoors experiences, but also in an office or a clinic a couple of days a week. I would like to travel for work, but that is not something usual because I think it is very tiring to have this life.  The most important for me is to be in a work that I am passionate about, and I could enjoy. I imagine myself working with groups who need more support, for example women who have suffering violence,  people with disabilities, people identified with LGTBIQ group, etc.  On another hand I like psychoanalysis and I hope to continue studying the diplomat and magister in Psychoanalysis clinical with adults.  Also, I have to mention that before study Psychology I finished my studies of acting in this university, now I am working with a theater company (s...

Positive, negative and funny experiences about this world pandemic

Imagen
 Hi everyone!  Today I'm going to talk about the pandemic of covid-19, it was an experience that I never thought to live and this time has been very strange and special.  My family lives out of Santiago, so I can see them only for special occasions and I depend on government permission. All this time we talk between video calls and social media, I miss them so much. I hope this pandemic ends soon for travel and spend time with them without guilty.  But I can't say that all has been bad, because being at home has allow me spend time with Lisa (my cat). On the another hand, I discovered the sport of jumping rope. This hobby has been very important that allows me to be physically active and avoid stress.  My studies are not a problem, but is very tiring to be in a notebook all day and I miss so much the university live: spend time with my friends, know people, parties, etc. But I'm optimistic now, I think that this year the pandemic will end.  Here a picture o...

My favorite movie

Imagen
Hello everyone!  Today I´m going to talk about one of my favorite movie. Is very difficult for me to decide in only one movie, because there are many good movies un my list.  I choose to speak about "Mulán", but the new version on live action.  Mulán is the story of a girl who lives in a city of China and a war breaks out. She decided to go for the battle in the place of his father (because he was vey ill). For could survive to the war and don't be discover, she decide to acting like a man and wear his clothes, transforming into a soldier.  In this version of 2020, Mulán is a spectacular warrior since she was a girl, and the conflict was resolved for her warrior skills and no with the help of a man (like the original version). Also, the story show how woman hide their abilities for the roles of patriarchal society.  The acting and the images of the movie are so wonderful, the scenery of china are precious too! I recommend watch this movie to have another perspec...

Imagen
  The best concert I´ve had was the when Gustavo Cerati performed in May of 2007, in “Arena Santiago”, now known as “Movistar Arena”. Gustavo Cearti was an Argentinian musician known for the band “soda stereo” and a pioneer of latin rock, also he developed a cantatrice career that touched the lives of millions. This concert presented the album “Ahí vamos” and the atmosphere was very special. It was my first concert and it´s been one of the best experiencies that I´ve had. The whole show was exiting and emotional because is my favorite musician and I was 15 at that time.  I went with my sister and we traveled to Santiago very early in the morning, so we could have a good view of the show, we ended up in the second row and we saw him very close. We sang all the songs at the top of our lungs, specially the soda stereo hits that haven´t been performed in Chile since the last concert of the band in the 90s.   This show was very important for me because Cerati died in 2014 and ...
