English, A Useful Tool

Learn a new language is always a pro in your life, you can be in another country and feel more comfortable if you know the country’s language and let you getting closer to the country’s culture; increase the odds of getting a good job and better salaries.  And as you probably know English is practically the universal language, if you want to learn a new language I recommend you learn English in a perfect way.

Actually I am in the university; here I have four English’s subjects which help me to improve my skills in this language like: writing, reading, listening and speaking; I think those subjects are very useful for me, especially the blogs, I am really getting better in my English skills. Still I would like to improve my vocabulary and also the listening. The solution for the vocabulary issue is read; I must read more text in English, start with showbiz’s articles and get to novels, for me that is the better way to enrich my vocabulary. For the listening I would see a lot of TV shows and movies in English with the English subtitles, like Friends in Netflix… it would not be for pleasure…is for the learning… I’m serious… because I get better in the listening and also practice the reading and the vocabulary is totally worth

.

Anyway manage a language like English is really useful, like a said before is almost a universal language, people of almost every country understand the English, so you can travel to everywhere and you could communicate only with the English.

And That’s All Folks.          

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Changes, everything changes with the time, sometime are for good, sometimes are not, for example: the communication, centuries ago people would have not imagined the possibility of talk with someone miles away, now is possible; we have a lot of device for that. On the other hand, with all the technology we communicate less and less with the people around us. So… technology is changing our life for good? Or for bad? I don’t know, but is something to think about it.

Anyway, I have to write around this topic: “Changes to my study programme”, as a freshman, I only know the programme of the first year. I mean, I have access to the full programme, but I can’t suggest about the programme of the next years, because I don’t know how those subject are executed.

 

I think the freshman programme is good enough, quite easier than I expected, but I have to be honest, the “orientation” subject of the first semester, wasn’t really good. Actually made me think in quite the career, I would make it more interesting. Also I would synchronise the subject’s contents, for example in “General Chemistry I” we learnt about the atomic structure, Also we saw the in “Mechanic” (aka Physics I)   but not in the same time. It would be better if we learnt at the same time in both subjects.

The big problem with this faculty is we don’t have a canteen, there is not enough space at the lunch time, and also the faculty is really small, in the summer there is few point with shadow to spend the time, and in winter there is not enough roofed places in case of rain. We need a canteen a big one.

The Rapel to Argentina

Summer Holidays, a date to share with family, relatives and friends, spent great time with your beloved, or that what everyone says, personally I feel kind a sad and melancholy in Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and I don’t know why I just know those aren’t happy festivities to me. But after the festivities I get my vacation… Well not exactly, probably I would have exams in January but after that I get totally free, and here are some of my plans for this summer.

 First at all, with some friends, we are planning to go to Rapel, Aileen, a friend have a cabin there, it would be great party with my friends in that cabin, get drunk and wasted all the days hahahaha, that for me is a really good idea.  Then in February I will go to Pucón with my dad, a beauty place in the south of Chile, there we have family, and we will stay with my aunt’s house. I spent great times there, I eat a lot of yummy meals, my aunt cooks an exquisite corn pastel.

After that maybe I will travel aboard to Argentina, it would be the first time I travel to another country, so I am really exciting about that, the first is always important. In Argentina I going to drink fernet, I have never tried it and I would like to do it, also I want to bought book and cigarettes there, because are cheaper in Argentina. I hope I can travel there.

Addictions

Addictions, an interesting topic, all the people has at least one addiction, some of them are harmless, but up to what point? All the excess are dangerous in some way, for example: candies, almost everyone like candies, there is nothing bad in eat candies, but if you eat candies all the time, you probably will have diabetes, cause of all the sugar you consume. If you try to quit your addiction, you will experiment abstinence syndrome, addictions are a really serious topic.

But let’s talk about my addictions, the alcohol, especially the beer, drink a cold beer in a sunny day, what a pleasure, and drink other, and other… until I get drunk, another pleasure… hahahha I mean, everything is better when you are a little bit drunk, just a little bit, I do not enjoy feeling dizzy and without any control of myself. In other words, I like drink alcohol in a moderate way. The statistics says you are an alcoholic if you drink all the weekends…. I do that, so technically I am an alcoholic, what a sad thing.

 Another addictions I have is the nicotine, I really enjoy smoke a cigarette, especially when I feel stressed for the tests. Is the perfect way to relax, I know, Is dangerous smoke cigarettes, that is the reason why I try to do not smoke, but sometimes I really need one… someone please give me nicotine patch… HELP ME

Postgrad

In my opinion, have a postgrad is a really cool thing, not everyone has one, is evidence that you are expert in a subject, that probably you know everything about it, in other words if you have a postgrad, you rule dude. 

But decided what postgrad I would like to study is a hard topic, basically because I don’t even sure if I like what I’m studying, it hasn’t a year since I am a freshman at the Universidad de Chile.  Here in Chile there is not many postgrad relative to the career of Pharmaceutics, at least not interesting ones. Well, that have a positive side, if I finish my study, and I decide to do a postgrad I would do it in another country, is a good excuse to travel aboard. 

By the moment I feel attracted to have a postgrad in toxicology, is an interesting subject, is relative to the detect illegal drugs in blood test, also detect toxic substance, but the field of the toxicology is not really present in Chile, actually there is not a postgrad in toxicology in any university, so probably I will try to study this postgrad in another country.

Anyway, in the future have a postgrad will be a requirement to get a good job with a good salary, is better have one, just in case…

My Future Job

Hello... it’s me…, and here is another blog, today’s topic? : My future job. Is a little bit complicated talk (write) about my future job, cause is really future, I just started the career of Pharmaceutics. I haven’t thought about it yet, I have approximated six years to think about my future job, but here are some of my options.

Well the career of Pharmaceutics gives me many options for a future job, for example:  manage a drug store, work in the public system at hospitals, work in the cosmetic industry, in a lab supervising the medication’s manufacturing, as a chemistry professor and a long etc.

In spite of this great variation of options I do not know which one I will choose, to be honest I find a lot of this options really boring, probably I will leave this career hahahaha I’m just kidding (or maybe not). The area I find more interesting is work in a hospital, help people, advice people of the right use of their medication.

This kind a secret, but my actual dream job is other completely different: Have a bar and be the bartender, but you know is not a “professional job” so I probably didn’t make true this secret dream or maybe I will …. How knows?

Music

Hello everyone, I love the music, I can't pass a day without music, actually today my headphone has broken, so I didn’t listen music in my subway travel to the university, that was an awful thing to me, because  listen music is one of the things I really enjoy doing.

I started to listen to music as a hobby when I was like 10 years old; I used to like bands like “Linkin Park”, “Red Hot Chili Peppers”, “Nirvana”, “Blink 182”, you can realize that I used to have a very teenager taste of music. But everything changes; nowadays I don’t like them anymore.

When I was 13 years old, my dad gifted me a bass guitar, I learnt to play many rock songs. Later I started a band with two friends; we used to name our self “Los Parias”, we played some rock songs like Hardest Button of Button, Uprising, My God Is the Son, Psycho Killer, Weight of Love, Bettlebum etc. We played once in a “tocata” at high school, it was a total failure, I won't elaborate on that, is just a bad story, believe me. 

Another aspect of music I like is the music in the Movies; the right music can really increase a scene and become it in an epic scene. The soundtrack of “Requiem for a Dream” is really sublime, has the perfect leitmotiv for the plot of the movie. 

And to finish this blog, I would like to name some bands I listen nowadays, the most frequent bands to me are: “Muse”, “Foals”, “Pink Floyd”, “Stone Temple Pilots”, “Royal Blood”, “David Bowie”, “Led Zeppelin”, “The Doors”, “Franz Ferdinand” etc.
