Well, I must admit that English has never been my best subject, I consider it interesting and I love to listen to fluent conversations in this language, because it’s the moment that I realize that I understand the language but it is difficult for me to express myself because I think a lot about each word to say (and many times I don’t find the correct word hahaha).
I entered the university with level 2 of English, I recognize that at that moment I felt lazy because of the fact that I have to give three semesters of English.
It happens that the subject doesn’t bore me but I have too much academic load and many times I feel that time of the subject is the time I could be studying for subjects that complicate my life.
I am very entertained writing blogs, there are topics that I find very interesting and I am very motivated writing. This being a blogger I did also in my school, because that was also one of the teaching methods. In fact, I have gmail account just because I had to create the account to be able to use blog from that time (about 6 years ago).
In spite of that, I consider that the level of English learned in the university is not enough, not for the teachers, but for the program itself, let's say that I don’t think I have learned much in these three semesters, no more than I had learned in my school. That’s why I plan at some point to focus on learning English, I still don’t know how, but it is one of my goals.
Finally, I must say that I almost didn’t use the language in my daily life, I sometimes say words in the air in English, usually words of rudeness hahaha, but no more than that.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME
When I entered the university career, it coincided with the change of the curriculum. As I was "mechona" I didn’t consider this, but after entering, I noticed what a curriculum change really meant. This led to a mismatch in many areas, for example, eliminate recuperative tests, higher academic load for new generations, change of regulations, etc.
With my partners we began to notice the great difference between the new curriculum and old curriculum, today I am studying eight subjects !!! On the other hand, if I had entered a year earlier I would be studying only 5 subjects in a common semester, like the normal one of the students.
In my opinion, it was not a good change, because the work load of the students was increased excessively, which only generates stress and low quality of life.
As for teaching, I must say that I consider that in the university there are very good teachers, each one with different methods manage to explain their subject very well. But there are also teachers who should not be in charge of teaching as such, because they don’t handle the topics well and therefore they are not capable of teaching, or even if they manage the subjects but do not have the capacity to teach the subject to the students.
This leads to a discrepancy between technology and teaching methods, because having use of projectors, computers, etc. the quality of teaching can decrease or increase, because many times the PPT is not used as a tool, is like a book where the teacher is only responsible for reading textually what he says there, which becomes tedious and leads to that students stop attending classes because finally reading the PPT at home will be the same.
Finally, but not least, it’s sad that our faculty doesn’t have enough covered places, leading to a rainy day students must resort to lunch in the library and places not suitable for this.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS
I must say that I love to enjoy
my summer holidays. During the year my life is very stressed by everything I
have to study and that's why during the holidays I relax and have a good time
with my friends and family.
Last summer I did a lot of things and I went to many places, I had a great time. So, this summer I want to have a great time and do all the things, that in the year while I'm in university, I can´t do.
In fact, I'm not interested in where to vacation, but I care about the people that I'll be leaving, for me that's more important

Of course, I must say that every
summer I go to the south and I hope that this summer won’t be the exception. I
love the South of our country, it's very beautiful and I usually go to my
hometown, Temuco, because that's where most of my family lives.
When
I go to the south, I go on vacation with my mother or father, since both of
them like to spend their vacations there.
On the other hand, I also go out with my friends, with them
I have a great time. I hope that this year we will go back to the beach and
have good times, equal or better than last summer.
I hope to organize my holidays well to have a long and
well-deserved rest, in order to have the energy and desire to enjoy my vacation
100%.
I must also consider that I must do my "intermediate
practice", so unfortunately, I should not forget the university until I
complete the practice.

PETS
To start I have to mention that I love animals, especially my pets because they give me a lot of swetness, happiness and love to my life. They are part of my family
I have two pets, one of them is a doggie called Puppy and the other one is a rabbit called Timon.
Puppy came into my life last year, when I entered in the university because my grandfather gave away puppies and my mom falled in love with her.
On the other hand, my rabbit was a gift gived to me in 2015 when I was in the school, at first, the vets told me that he was female and "her" name was Aika, but when he had about two months we knew he was male and we called him Timon
Last March one of my pets died, my little dog called Chasqui, he was like my brother, I will always remember him because he was very special to me. He came into my life when I was a baby, in that time I was two years old and we spent many moments together, because I was around 17 years with him.
They are a very important part of my life, who has a pet can understand me, so, my life without my little animals it wouldn´t be the same, it would be awful. When Chasqui died it was like a part of my heart left with him and I think if this would happen again with any of my other two pets I would feel the same sadness again.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES
Hey guys ! Today's topic is closely related to the theme of last week when I mentioned that I hope to project and study and then specialize in a specific field and toxicology is included in my main options.
This area is very interesting, I like so much because is a very important part of the health and research area because it's a discipline that is related to biology, chemistry, pharmacology and medicine.
I would like to study this specialization because it opens many paths of the workfield and I would like to dedicate part of my life to the research area because I would like to contribute to new discoveries that help humanity and all other living organism.
This area involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on organisms and the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants.
This postgraduate programs cover the chemical makeup of toxins and their effects on biochemistry, physiology etc. After introductory life science courses are complete, students typically work in labs and apply toxicology principles to research and other studies. Advanced students delve into specific sectors, like the pharmaceutical.
I am not interested in studying abroad, maybe just to learn more language, but the study as such I would like to do it in the university where I am now, although it has many requirements but I consider that today it is very important to obtain a postgraduate.

MY FUTURE JOB
Well, as I have been studying Chemistry and Pharmacy I have noticed that this career has a very broad work field, so I have been interested in other kind of jobs, like clinical area, hospitals and cosmetic industry. Each of these areas has a lot of interesting things and its professionals have many ways to develop each of these.
I would like to travel, but Im not sure how much can travel in this kind of areas, maybe there are many professionals who constantly travel for conferences, wich I consider very interesting because is a moment where you can discuss many topics in study and learn at the same time.
In the future I hope to project and study and then specialize in a specific field, for now what interests me most for a later study is the toxicology
Finally, I hope to finish my studies and be able to develop in any of these areas I would feel very accomplished in the workplace if I can work in any of these jobs.

NATIONAL HOLIDAYS (SEPTEMBER 18th)
To start I have to say this holidays are my favorites, I love our customs as a country such as: dancing cueca, eating a lot of meat and empanadas, typical games, etc. I always enjoy this holiday very well.
My holidays start on September 15th at 12 hours after an analytical class. This day was the "quimifonda", this is a "fonda" organized by our faculty to celebrate "el 18". With my friends we organized for this day and some of them arrived early to the university to be able to have tables in the afternoon, we bought pipeño and ice cream and I was in the university until 23 hours approximately, it was a good quimifonda.
The following days were very entertaining, I spent time with families and friends, I ate too much and danced "cueca". I went to fondas and on September 17th I spent time just with my family because they made a family barbecue, later we went back to a fonda.
On September 18th I was with my family in the day, had a great time and in the night I was with friends.
On September 19th I was all day at the National Stadium fonda with friends and I ate the best empanada of the 18, it was very delicious.
September 20th: I noticed that I had much to study, The end.
