English Language Challenges

If I'm sincere I never like English. For me, it always was a hard subject when I had to memorize all and for this reason I think that I begin to learn English well in secondary. The problem is that I don't have a good memory, so the words and your mean don't keep in my mind and that is a big problem. So... With don't good experiences in secondary for boring class and teacher that don't speak very well,  (I can heard you mistake and in generally I don't distinguish anything, so the mistakes was a real mistake) study English obligatory was not the most happy idea. How I'm in level 3 of English, the first semester of this year I have to take this class and for my "lucky", these aren't so bad. I had to write in a blog what was interesting, and I liked to see how I improve in my writing and in my vocabulary. Also, I had a good teacher where maybe the classes are more boring because we should heard conversation on the radio and something like tha...

Changes to my study programme

Well... This is not a topic that I like it, because I don't know so much about the curriculum or the changes that it had undergo. So, speaking like a students of first year, I've had to study subjects of basics science like chemistry, biology, physics and maths. Also like career subjects I've only have the basic about pharmacy like what they do or where they can work or something like that. Then, in third year, we going to start with subjects specific like differents pharmacologies and everything related with the medicines and public Health. About the teaching methods, the few teachers that I have in generally they use powerpoint or write in the whiteboard for teach with exercise or only theory so that the students can copy and understand better. For this reason, the technology is usually important in the class and out the class, because many works should be delivered in a web page or for email; which can be good or bad in differents cases. About the faculty, I think...

My Summer Holidays

Image
In this moment, only that I want are holidays and more when only remain three or four weeks for finish the semester. This year, I've thought keeping in Santiago for a few weeks, considering that my friends will to travel to Santiago at beginning of the December. I suppose that we will to go out for the city and enjoy of a big city activities like Santiago. Then, I will back to home for Christmas and New year and I thing that I will be in Temuco for some weeks or many weeks of my summer holiday and probably I will watch series, go out for the city or doing what I always do. Even so that, I would to travel to Lican Ray because I don't go since a few years ago and I like more  lake for the summer than sea. Also, I hope get my drive license, so if I travel I would like going to Pucón, Villarrica or any place near of there too. If all of these happens is possible that I will go with my parents and my brother, but I would like go with my friends and have this vacation that we ...

My pet Charlie

Image
How I have two brothers, I remember that in the childhood each one had a pets or that was the idea. So I had a budgerigar (or catita in spanish), one of brother had a fish and the other had a dog. I don't remember why, but the fish was returned to the pet shop and maybe the little bird ran away or something like that... The point is that the only pet that my family have today is a dog. His name is Charlie  due to  the serie Charlie brown ( or I believe that because my big brother chose the name) and I like that he is very tender and playful and always he can get us a smile. The first memory of him is when we come back to the my grandmother's house with Charlie in a shoes box when I had around four years old. Since that moment, Charlie always had been a part of the family and the neighborhood because all the day he is in the front yard sunbathe and greeting to the neighbour (or bark, that it's the same thing) or he try to receive pet when somebody of the family ar...

Postgraduate Studies

Think in a postgraduate course is very hard, specially because I can't say with certainty that I will finish the career. How first year student even I have not seen career subjects different of how work a pharmaceutical, so if I going to take a postgraduate course, today I couldn't choose a theme or a subjects that I would like improve... Because for which reason I will take a course. I know that I would like to improve in the area upon which I work in a future for be a good professional and to know in the moment all about my area as new technology, discovery, form or anything that I could need. Obviously, I have not seen any university where I could study in a future, but always I have liked the idea of study in other country. If I will take a postgraduate course, I will find the university where its programme is better and I will travel to the country for do a full time course. So, If I going to take a postgraduate course I will try to study with a scholarship and afte...

My Future Job

Image
Something that I like about Chemistry and Pharmacy is the all the possibility that I have for work in a future. Until now, I had thought work in the cosmetic industry or in clinical pharmacy, and in both I would have to work in indoors in spite of I don't like so much the idea, because for all the works in indoors I think in a person that is sitting in a office opposite a your computer and I hate that. I hope a work when I can make a lot of things or when I always can be make something.  I don't like the routine, so if I can travel for my job or do anything different, I would do. I think that a important way of learn is travel and if I could talk or listen others professionals of the area for improve, I definitely do.  The same with the PhD. I don't know about what could be, but it will be for improve in my area, for be a good professional and because I will want it. I will want be better and learn about something that I like, because it's  true that I will work...

Favourite Musician

Image
In generally I'm not a person that hear to one kind specific of music or only a band and even I always listen random music in spotify or youtube, where all the time I don't realize who is singing the song unless that I like the song. In this way I knew The Summer Set, a band that was composed by 5 members led by vocalist Brian Dales and I say "was" because they confirmed their broke up this year. I don't know define music and anything of that kind, so according to internet his style was pop-rock or pop-punk, but I thought that was more pop, specially his third  album, "Legendary". About the lyrics of the songs, these are so random because the band can talk about the love, the life by metaphor or anything in specific because a song may like me for its melody and not necessary for its lyrics as all that I listen. I can't remember when I listened for first time, but it must have been few years ago, and I remember that was in spotify with the s...

A school Anecdote

Definitely, I have a awful memory, so I will try  to explain a story for this blog but I don't promise anything.  When I was in high school, in first  year, the student centre wanted to imitate the LollaPalooza concert and for that, they invited different bands and singers of Chile (in this moment I don't remember who were) and they rent a big place for all a day of music. I remember that if you wanted go, you had to buy the ticket, which was sheap, and you could leave early of classes for attend to the concert, so I decided go with my friends with the plan of go to the concert for a short time and then go out and do anything that we want. So, the day of the concert we went with differents people of the high school and when we arrived at   the place, this was full with high school students, university studendts and adults because was going to play a famous band that I didn't know ( and now I don't remember who was) and everybody wanted to see them. Like ma...

My Best (only) Concert Ever

Image
My best concert ever... Actually I had going to only one of all my life and it was on 1st may, 2014, in the national stadium. When I was maybe 14 years old I knew the band One direction. They was 5 British boys that created a band in a tv program show where they didn't win, but they can be able to get a contract as a band and they beggining to make record and tours for different countrys of Europe and USA. When they launched onto the market their 3rd album, Midnight Memories, they decided come to Chile with the "Where We Are Tour" with their different pop songs of all of your albumes.  The day of the concert I arrived the stadium one hour before of the beginning of the concert because I bought a golden vip, a ticket in which you had a seat with a  number assigned. So, when I was in my seat I remember see all the stadium full with people waiting excited that the concert will begin.  How I get alone to the concert, I started to spoke with the people to my around a...

Indonesia: Beautiful and different

Image
If I think in a country that I would like to travel is complicated. I know which city of the world I would like visit, but today I want to tall about Indonesia. I like watch in the tv differents travel programs and when I saw one of Indonesia I fell in love. The program showed me and teached me about this island country with more than seventeen thousand islands. All of them are differents and have their own attractive in the Southeast Asia. The main reason because I would to travel there is for their landscape like beaches, volcano and woods when you can swim, swim underwater, enjoy to the sun. Basically this place is a natural paradise when you can be relax and enjoy beautiful of the place. Also I would like to travel for the culture, specifically their differents buddhist temples. I saw photos of them and  I would like to know the history and architecture behind them while I look over each detail.  For that reason Indonesia is a country that I visit many ...

My blogging experience

Image
Always I had learned English with a paper and a pen with the teacher speaking in the front of the class. I always thought that the "normal lesson" about this subject isn't the ways for me, so I never called me the attention the English, I never liked learn for myself and I know that the English is very important today, but... I don't like. For that reason, I never thought write only in English and less have a blog completely in English. I never though that I would liked learn English in this form and writting about a theme all that I want (or sometimes more than I want). So... In general I find interesting all that. Is true that I had to write about themes boring, that I don't like tell or themes that I did not know to much and I always finished the post very late, but... I liked the idea. I like have a blog and  investigate about a theme, try to remember about a memory or have to decided about favourite something. Maybe, I'm not according to comme...

From the invisible to the visible world

Image
I had told you that I like the cosmetic area and like a pharmaceutical can work in this area, always I like inform myself about the technological  use in this area.  For this reason, I knew to few days ago about the nanoemulsion, a materials important for my career, because they are use for the food area, the cosmetic area and for the investigation and as all these areas can be work of a pharmaceutical, I think that we need to know about this emulsion for apply in a future  process. The nanoemulsion is emulsion very fine (created with nanoparticles) of two immiscible liquids with one of them scatter in the other in form of drops. They can be use in the foods as carriers systems or for freeing a compound what can be flavour, antioxidant agent and microbial, with the objective of use it in the foods for them to purchase an antimicrobial ability.  Also, its emulsion can be use in the different  products of cosmetics, with the objective that the cosmetics prod...

The most enjoyable subject ...

Image
In this semester at the university I only have 6 subjects, of wich 4 of these are basic for the career and the rest are own of the pharmacy. If I'm totally honestly, none subject until now I have loved it. I say this because I don't like maths and physics, chemistry I like it, but it disappointed me and english for now I like it, but it's not my favourite. So, when they explained me the pharmacist and his action I liked in theory because I will know about the career and the meaning what is a pharmacist both in the labor field and the basics knowledges that I would have to have. And when they explained me the laboratory techniques subject, I liked too, because I had been in a laboratory and I liked the idea of being able to work again in one. The problem with both was that many external things to the subjects as teachers and methodology of work disappointed me, so both subjects I don't liked so much and I'm a person that if I like something is because all abou...

Websites you enjoy visiting

Image
(B) Website I have to admit that I know few person in the area of my career, so I don't have a person whom I admire for something did or for who was.  So, I don't want lie and tell you about a person that I knew in english classes only for write this post.  I thinking in something that I like, I remember the theme of my english discourse, the Makeup Cruelty Free and I decided talk you about a chilean page of internet, Te protejo.  This page isn't exclusive of career, but I mention because the organization and all the people behind the page, are the only Latin America orgaization in certify national brands that it isn't tested in animals.  So, this page has many section, but the most important for me are news , where it publishs information about new brands certificate and the different change in the national and intenational law about the tested in animals, brands where mention brands that sell  in Chile and it's tested and not tested in animals a...

My favourite book and film

Image
Since that I was a little girl, I liked read. In the past, read in the holidays or when I can was a goal, but with the time I gained the habit of reading and now, read is a hobby. So that's why I know many books and I have read many books that I have hated as Odisea or Martian Chronicles or books that I loved as One hundred Years of Solitude, Martin Rivas, Like water for Chocolate or Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe (a young novel). It's true that my favourite writer is Gabriel Garcia Marquez and all your books I loved, but now I prefer to speak about Ami, the child of the stars by Enrique Barrios. It's a book that I read in primary for first time and I re-read the last year. It's true that the book did not cause me the same that the first read, but I keep a lot of love still. The book tells us about Pedrito that one day he meet to Ami, an alien with special abilities as reading the mind or fly. For the curiosity of Pedrito, he decided spe...

A photograph you like

Image
I think that the photography is an art where many people be able to take amazing photograph that represent a story and feelings that aren't necessary tell. How they saiy: One picture tell us more than the words.   I don't take good photos. I have been try, but I never get.  Anyway, the photograph that like me, It was taken since a window of the aeroplane and it shows the white clouds in the sky. I took this picture in my first flight in aeroplane this years and It like me, first, because the landscape I loved it and always I have imagined touch the clouds or fly among they as in the cartoon or animated films.  And second for its meaning. For me any picture like means this travel, experience, learning and fun. But my photograph means to me change, opportuneness and a new stage.  This flight was the beginning of everything.  I know that this isn't the best picture of the world, on the contrary! But for me, it's a very person...

Music in my life

Image
I'm not the kind of person that always listen music or that associate it with a specific moment of your life. Also I don't have musical qualities, so the music for me is basically a entertainment, for make noise in my home or distraction. In my childhood, I remember that I listened of my father's music and my favourite song was "Girls Just Want to Have fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Also I listened to Axe bahia with my brothers and I have to admit that in my childhood I used to listened disney's music, specially of disney's films or the actors or actresses of this channel. When I was 13 or 14 years old, I loved One Direction to such an extent that I had posters in my bedroom and I bought all their CDs. Now I think that all that was too much, but It's a part of my adolescence. Is not same with Avril Lavigne, because now I listen her old music and I don't why, but upset me. Currently I  like more the pop music as the group Little mix or almost whole kind...

My Favourite piece of Technology

Image
I think that none piece of technology is elemental. So, I don't have a favourite piece of technology, but I will say that  my smartphone is a important part of my day to day. My smartphone have everything. Since a application to have fun, to order food until a application to study. Actually it's my camara, my radio, my alarm clock, my gps and endless number of activities  where unique limitation is the phrase: insufficient storage. My parents always thought that the mobile was not necessary, therefore I had my first mobile when I had 12 years old. It was a sony ericcson phone in colour pink. ¡I loved that phone! With it I took pictures, listened music, played games and called for phone. That is all I could do. I bought my current smartphone for its camara, but it fell and broke. Still serves but it isn't the best. In spite of that, I use it all the day. Since the morning how alarm clock until the night to talk with my family and friends. Every that I'm...

Why Did you choose this career?

Image
I've always been bad to decide, so when I had to choose a career was a long process When I was 6, I said that I'm going to be a pre-school teacher. I liked the work of my teacher in that moment, because I think that worked with children is beautiful.  Even so, I changed a lot my opinion about the career of my dreams . I thought of being a designer, physician or dentist... But I never was sure of my choice. During the high school, I realized that I loved language,  specially the lesson of means of communication. I liked do news, interview or I liked to learn about scenography, camara and all about television. I dreamed of being a journalist in the newspaper or be working on the set of a television  program. At my third year of high school, I had to choose among special classes of maths and physic, language and history or biology and chemistry.  I was totally sure to didn't choose maths, but I didn't know if I liked more language or chemistry.  ...

My mother is a nurse and my father is a medical technologist, both worked in the hospital so I didn’t  like to healthcare field's career... Or so I believed. I studied in two different school in Temuco. First in Instituto Claret and then I went to Liceo Camilo Henriquez. In those years I liked to fantasy colour hair so I had have my hair of pink, blue and purple.  When I finished High School,  I did not know what to study, because I liked paint, read, write and different artistic's things, therefore  all my vocational orientation tests said me that to choose an art career... Finally  I decided Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Universidad de Chile and now I'm living with my other brother in Santiago, that it's like to live alone in a big city. How? Why? Jus...
