English class

 Given the importance of English at world level, it is very important to have a good course or classes where you can learn, in general my experience with the courses that the university imparts has been very good (even if only been in level 3 and 4). I believe that the use of blogs in these courses is a creative and fun way to learn, that allows to practice writing even I consider it better than answering questionnaires, because it allows (or at least allowed me) to realize which Are the most common mistakes we make and allow us to correct them. 
 For me it is very important to learn English correctly, since I plan (in the long term) to travel to other countries, in addition most of the information in the scientific community is written or translated to English, so that to better understand the information is necessary to handle this language.In particular my way of learning English is through songs in this language, I listen to them, I look for their lyrics, I translate them and I learn them, so that I increase my vocabulary, another way is to see series in English sometimes with or without subtitles, I also know a game called duolingo where not only can you learn English, but several languages, currently I completed the English classes and I am learning French, but since it has been a week of  test and delivery of homeworks, I have not been able to play much, I really hope the holidays, because I also want to learn Italian.

Changes in psychology

I am usually not very aware of the discussions about the psychology career, however I think when it comes to the curriculum mesh it is very important to know what is going to happen. The last thing I hear is that in the assemblies has been discussed about taking some subjects and adding others, the subjects that I wanted to remove were philosophy, anthropology and sociology, from my point of view leaving out subjects like anthropology and sociology is not a good idea, because Both subjects offer us another way of seeing our study subject and in future our patient, since they teach us how culture and society affect people, besides teaching us how to study it, methods such as ethnography are very important. Other options in terms of changes within the career are that they are seeing the possibility of changing the order in which we have to take the subjects, for example taking the subject of basic psychological processes in the first semester instead of the second. In addition there is the possibility of introducing more subjects in relation to psychometry.
Another very important issue is that within the career there are very few instances where we can do practical work, that is, there are very few times when we have contacts with patients, communities or people in general, most of the work is theoretical and so there are not real instances that  prepares us for practice before we graduate. I think it would be very useful if the subjects were reformulated to generate more practical instances. Anyway I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Holidays

Holidays is the best part of the year to me, because the scholar year is over and that mean that I don't have to do more homework. Although at the same time is sad because a some of my friends live in another regions of the contry and I can't see them very often. Any way, this holidays I been plan finish every book that I couldn't read throughout the scholar year, there are many books that i have to read, some books are of the saga "dark hunter" by Sherrilyn Kenyon (I mencioned this author in my last post). Other thing that i want to do this holidays is see the many series that will premier this summer like "ShadowHunters" ( the first chapter will see the light on January 2) or "Sense8" (the firts chapter will premiere on Christmas).
Maybe this summer I will go to Concepcion because the mother of a friend that we call "Lobito" ( his real name is Jose) invited us my sister and I to go to her house, since she wanted to know both of us (she only knows my sister). Maybe I will go to the beach sometime in the summer with my family or travel somewhere with my college friends (last summer we went to the house of a friend in Rancagua). Maybe I Will sleep until twelve o'clock every day of summer, I do not know, I'll see what I'll do.

Myths

In general when it comes to this subject I like several myths, but the myths that really are my favorites are the Greek. I have known some by investigate the Greek culture, but mostly what made me love the Greek myths was the saga of books  "Dark Hunters" by Sherrylin Kenyon.
One F my favorites myths is the myths of Psyche, she was a princess of a beauty so extraordinary that the same goddess Aphrodite was jealous of her. However, Psyche was so beautiful that she still was virgin because her superhuman beauty frightened her suitors. Aphrodite ordered her son Eros, the god of love, to punish the daring mortal. Therefore, some time later, an oracle sent Psyche's father, under the threat of a terrible calamity, to take his daughter to a solitary rock where she would be devoured by a monster.
But the god Eros, when he saw the girl who had to die in the mouth of the monster that awaited her below, was so impressed by her beauty that he stumbled and pricked herself with one of his own arrows-those arrows he used so effectively to bring sudden love to both mortals and gods.
This is how Eros fell in love with the person his mother had told him to eliminate. But the happiness of this couple would not come until after Psyche went through four tests imposed by the goddess Aphrodite.In the fourth test Psyche fell into a deep sleep, from which she could not awaken, however Eros woke Psyche out of a crush of his mortal sleep and, climbing up to Olympus, asked Zeus for permission for Psyche to join him.
Zeus gave it to him and gave Psyche immortality, feeding him Ambrosia. Aphrodite forgot her bitterness and the wedding of the two lovers was celebrated on Olympus with great rejoicing.
This is not the complete myth, however if you want to read full, here I leave the link, also on this page you can find other Greek myths.

Post graduate studies

Within the psychology I have always liked the area of ​​children - youth, sexology or psychological profiles, even when these areas are really different.  As for these three areas I know that within the psychology career there are optional courses that I can take according to each subject, however, when in post - graduate courses at the University of Chile, there are only courses in the area of ​​children and youth. If I choose to obtain a post degree in the area of ​​sexology or psychological profiles, the best option is to study in Europe; it can be in Italy, England or Germany and considering that Germany is a country where great contributions to the area of ​​psychology are developed, these country could be the best option. On the other way, Canada is a country that stands out in terms of the possibilities to study, work and residence in the country more easily, especially with people who have professional titles in the area of ​​health or professional titles in general because the most of the people in that country don´t have one.  Another option is Australia, since there are many scholarships that allow study in that country, the only reason to not go to that country are its variety of big and dangerous animals; no one wants to wake up with a snake in his house or a crocodile in the pool. Well, I think that when I get my degree as a psychologist and work a little maybe I can decide which option is better in terms of what to study and where.

future job!

My future job? Well in my life I thought that I would like to do different jobs, I was thinking in veterinary, engineering, work in occupational therapy and finally psychology. What made me decide for psychology was my constant curiosity about why the people act like they act and why of my own actions, besides asking why certain things made me feel a certain way. It was that added to my amazing ability to detect how people feel and give good advice, which led me to choose be a psychologist like a job and although most people associate this work with a consultation room and a sofa where the patient sits down to talk about his life, the reality is that is a small part of everything that involves being a psychologist. Some psychologists work in a consultation room, others work with the police in psychologists profiles of criminals or sometimes they work in areas that is related with neuroscience. In my case I would like to work in a consultation room or a school with children and adolescents, another idea that always liked is the possibility of being sexologist or perhaps work on criminology doing psychological profiles, I don't know, is a decision that I'll have to take when I graduated;  may even prefer to leave everything and just travel the country working for a few days or a week on anything that arises. The best thing of everything is that i still have three years to make a decision.

series!

Hi everyone!, today I will talk about the series that I´m obsesses, I can think in just one because one of my favorite hobbies is watch TV series like "Supernatural" or "The walking dead" ( I can´t wait to the new season of each one) but actually I´m obsesses with two series, the first is ShadowHunters a series of Freeform  based on the a books of Cassandra Clare, is a series of fantasy, action and supernatural drama. Before the series already had made a movie based on the books, the movie is called "ShadowHunters: City of Bones", but these movie was not very success. ShadowHunters series is not very attached to the books because it is a combination of the first three books of the saga, but is a real good series and I recommended you see it. Although ShadowHunters is good, I'm really obsessed with Sense 8. 
Sense8 is an American television series for web science fiction created, written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers and J. Michael Straczynski. The first season consists of 12 episodes and premiered on Netflix on June 5, 2015 and the first episode of the second season will premiere on Christmas. I really like this series because the plot revolves around eight strangers from around the world that suddenly connect mentally and emotionally. The series explores topics such as politics, identity, sexuality, gender and religion. The connection between these different people and how they get to know and help each other is something really interesting and gives you a different look at what it means to be a human.
